Forensic Friday - Stephen Smith Part Two - Forensic Evidence

Friday Apr 07, 2023

Stephen Smith was murdered on July 8th, 2015.

His lifeless body was found lying in the middle of Sandy Run Road in Hampton, South Carolina.

Stephen's death is still unsolved!

Together, Kelly Niklason, Researcher and Creator of THE ORIGINAL Murdaugh In The Lowcountry Facebook Group, and I discuss the evidence that investigators collected as well as the potential evidence that was completely overlooked.

UPDATE

Stephen Smith's Car Was NOT Out Of Gas!

Was it incompetence that stalled this investigation?

Did the investigators miss the opportunity to solve Stephen's murder years ago?

Did the investigators intentionally avoid following up on leads?

Why has SLED allowed the public to believe they did not know the location of Stephen's Rape Kit?

Was this a well-orchestrated cover up?

The Guardian Angel ~ Episode 80

Wednesday Nov 02, 2022

Imagine witnessing children become orphans due to lack of money and medication.

Imagine having your coworkers die because they can't get the medication they need.

Imagine watching your friend die in the hospital because he didn't have enough money.

Imagine watching innocent animals poisoned and killed intentionally.

Denis Ssewannyana is 24 and lives in Mizigo-Mityana Uganda, Africa. Denis has seen all of these tragedies. He is determined to make a difference in his community.

He is the Founder of the Jungwe Animal Shelter, and Founder of the Kearing Foundation Uganda located in Mizigo-Mityana, Uganda, Africa.
Denis works tirelessly trying to save the lives of the street animals and the children who desperately need him.

The Jungwe Animal Shelter was started the shelter due to the massive monthly killing & poisoning of street animals by Kampala City Council Authority.

The work that Denis is doing at the Kearing Foundation Uganda is truly remarkable. The orphanage house was created to help the abandoned children, those with HIV and members of his community by providing food, shelter, water and severely needed medication.
