What's up you guys? I'm Andrea. And I'm Haley. And you're listening to Inhuman, a true crime podcast. Welcome back everybody.

Happy day.

0:32.5

Today's case is from sort of kind of my neck of the woods. I just decided to look up cases from South

0:43.6

Carolina and I came across this case and it is crazy. I have never heard of this case despite

0:51.0

it being, you know, in my state and being, in my opinion, a pretty big case.

0:56.4

It's one that is very similar to other cases that have gotten way more media coverage.

1:03.8

But this is the disappearance of Sarah and Kimberly Boyd and Linda McCord.

1:11.3

Okay.

1:12.4

And I have seen this referred to as the gospel concert trio, but I don't really, you know,

J. Boyd, arrived home from work around midnight, and initially he wasn't really concerned

2:33.6

that his wife and daughter were not back.

2:37.3

He would later tell police that he assumed they were either still with Linda or had possibly gone to

2:43.7

visit some relatives. So I guess that's something that they did, you know, frequently and, you know,
