In February of 2020, a 28-year-old woman went missing in South Carolina after trying to get away from a man at a bar. When police searched her apartment, they found an alarming amount of blood, but no body- and her car was missing. When police searched the property of their first suspect, they found even more disturbing evidence. This is the murder of Celia Sweeney.
