About this episode

The episode discusses a new lawsuit against the Horry County Police Department involving allegations of retaliation and misconduct.

[Part Two] Join us May 15 at 10am in York, SC for Mandy’s Beach v. Parker non-party contempt hearing — wear pink. And we start with wild BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS about Lee Gilley’s flight to and detention in Turin, Italy as Texas Judge Peebles orders he forfeit his $1M bond. Then on On Part Two of #147, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ dig into a stunning new lawsuit filed by former Horry County Police Captain Danny Furr — yes, that Danny Furr, the detective who arrested JP Miller's pastor daddy Reginald Wayne Miller back in 2006. Represented by attorney Jonny McCoy, Furr's 35-page complaint paints HCPD as a sloppy, retaliatory, good-old-boy operation that punishes anyone who tells the truth. We unpack the bizarre "un-arrest" of Harold Worley's son-in-law Thomas Wade Long, the suspiciously timed promotions of officers tied to the Scott Spivey investigation, Chief Chris Leonhardt's hiring of his childhood friend as captain, secret internal affairs investigations launched in retaliation, and the moment Furr was allegedly banished from county property after going to county council. The case is instructive — and infuriating. Let's Dive in… 🥽 🦈Episode Links…
