Today marks the tragic 10-year anniversary of Stephen Smith’s death.

We never thought this day would come without answers, but here we are. 💔

💚Stephen was a 19-year-old nursing student with dreams of becoming a doctor 🩺💔. His case was mishandled from the get-go as it was labeled a hit-and-run, without evidence of a vehicle accident occurring. The case was finally officially reopened by SLED in 2021 during their investigation into Maggie and Paul Murdaugh’s murders… we still don’t know what evidence exactly led to the reopening of the case.

💚In today’s episode, we walk you through our 6-year journey reporting on this story throughout all of its twists and turns — and hoping that the small details hit different this time.

💚Sandy, his incredible mother, has fought relentlessly for answers for a decade, enduring betrayal, harassment, and media scrutiny. She has never stopped believing in justice for her son. And neither have we.

There’s a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in Stephen’s case 💰. Do you know something or someone that does? It’s not too late! The smallest detail could be the key to the truth.

Tips can be emailed to SLED at [email protected] or call 803-737-9000

💚💚And join us to demand justice at the Walking With Stephen event this SATURDAY 8am starting at GOODING CEMETERY.

🎧 SURPRISE ☀️🎉 We have one of our favorite podcasters and justice advocates on the show today — welcome

Listen 🎧 here to Sarah’s INSPIRING journey to fight for justice in her sister’s case and hold her father accountable: staypes.ky/sarahturney

💔 Missing since 2001 from Phoenix, AZ, 17-year-old Alissa’s case was largely ignored by police until authorities found bombs and a manifesto in her father Michael Turney’s home in 2008. 

📢 Sarah’s unwavering advocacy on TikTok and her podcast, ‘Voices for Justice,’ created immense public pressure, which ultimately led to her father’s 2020 2nd degree murder indictment. 

😖 Due to an unprepared prosecution, Michael Turney’s murder charge was dismissed in 2023, but Sarah’s quest for answers continues. Michael Turney denies all allegations, including s*xual abuse, and actively uses his own absurd YouTube channel to spread counter-narratives about Sarah and the police.

💪 Sarah is courageously planning the first-ever search for Alissa in Desert Center, California, a location indicated in her father’s manifesto. Sarah’s powerful story highlights resilience, the impact of manipulation, and a sister’s enduring love. 🔍✨

☀️⚖️ We are HONORED to have special guest on our show today.
Listen at 🎧 staypes.ky/BishopCOJ 🎧

TODAY ☀️📣Bishop Venters breaks her silence about her mother Sara Lynn Colucci’s death —revealing the heartbreaking journey of survival, trauma, and unwavering determination.

📣Her message is clear: we won’t stop fighting until the truth comes out 💪💪

After a decade-long fight for justice 💔 join us for a raw, powerful conversation with Bishop Venters, Sara Lynn Moore Colucci’s daughter. Just last week, her stepfather Michael Colucci’s murder charge was dismissed by Judge Roger Young due to prosecutorial misconduct. 

💪 Bishop’s strength is INCREDIBLE - from childhood trauma and neglect to becoming an advocate who refuses to let her mother’s case be forgotten. 

Now, Bishop is stepping forward, more determined than ever, to push for Michael’s re-indictment and secure the peace and justice her family deserves. She hopes to achieve this so her future children won’t have to experience the same prolonged fight. 

Her resilience and dedication to spreading awareness are truly inspiring 🙏. Listen now to hear her incredible story of resilience and hope. 

We urge you to demand justice and from Attorney General Alan Wilson to return Michael Colucci’s murder indictment to the statewide grand jury… Here’s how:
