About this episode
In this episode, we caught up with Stephen’s mother, the wonderful and resilient Sandy Smith, and Mike Hemlepp, Jr., the Columbia attorney who stepped up to help after Sandy’s previous attorney let her down.
We asked Sandy and Mike where things with the case stood and how they felt about everything. While the case gained some momentum last year after SLED took it over from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, it’s now 15 months later and we were hoping by now to know more.
Mandy and Liz take a new look at Stephen’s case. And now, we’re angry and demanding answers.

Crime Stoppers of the Lowcountry: (843) 554-1111
