For over 350 years, the state of South Carolina has been the setting for some of the most horrendous crimes ever committed.

Some have gained global notoriety. Some have been forgotten. And others have been swept under the rug completely.

Now, two South Carolina natives and true crime enthusiasts have teamed up to examine these heinous acts in detail,

giving their perspective of the evil that has resided in the Palmetto State.

You're listening to Carolina Crimes.

And welcome back to Carolina Crimes, episode 241. I'm one of your host, Matt Hires, along with

Danielle Myers. Welcome back from administrative leave.

Thank you.

And we are over the moon.

Thrill that you joined us here for this one this week.

This is absolutely wild.

You are going to enjoy this one.

This song, or I'm sorry, this story, it spurred a song back in the 1930s.

Really?

Yes.

And it gained national media attention.

It was a huge story, and we are going to get into all that.

But, yeah, you're going to like this one.

Yeah, and this is one of the good ones that I'm, all our episodes are kind of like our children.

You know, you can't say you have a favorite child, but this is probably going to be one of

mine, and it has been one that I've heard about for years and years.

And as soon as we started Carolina Crimes, shout out to Tim Jones, good friend of the family, a friend that owned a music store here in York County for a long time. And we're praying for his health. But he brought this story to me. It was like, you got to cover this one. You just got to from the history of York County.
