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 246, part two of this amazing tale about the McDonald's Monopoly, McDonald's Millionaire game,

the promotional, uh, promotion, I guess you call it, the promotion that they did between

1987 and 2001. There, of course, we went into depth about exactly what the FBI thought was happening in the

first part of this. And we left you off on kind of a cliffhanger that Agent Doug Matthews of the

FBI had this brilliant idea to try to get radio chatter back started between these winners and some of these people they thought

were potentially stealing these tokens and running a scam of the whole thing, although they

couldn't quite put everything together of how this thing worked.

Well, welcome back here in a part two.

I'm one of your host, Matt Hires, along with Daniel Myers.

We're over the moon, thrilled that you joined us here today. We're just really going to jump right back into this story. If you haven't listened to Part 1, make sure you go back and listen to that. So you'll know exactly what we're talking about and fill you in. We're going to answer a lot of questions. Probably after episode 1, you're saying, well, what in the hell is this got to do with South Carolina?

We'll get there.

We'll get there.

Some very interesting cats and tales yet to come.

And this is wild.

This is absolutely wild how this went down.

So when we left off, Agent Doug Matthews of the FBI, he had

this idea. He said, well, you know, we got to get these people start talking again. We've got to,

we're playing catch up on this thing from possibly all the way back to 1987, it's 2001.
