Bodycam footage and FOIA records reveal conflicting accounts in Ladson toddler deaths
Charleston County Sheriff Carl Ritchie released body-camera footage and records showing deputies found no immediate distress in the home of Justine May before her two daughters, Emory and Harlow Deacon, were found dead on Sept. 29. While Ritchie defended the agency's decision to stop welfare checks on Sept. 22, the girls' father and his attorney demand an independent investigation into the sheriff's office's handling of the case.
