Meet our True Crime Speaker for the evening! Dr. Kenny Kinsey is definitely considered to be one of the STAR WITNESSES of the Spring 2023 South Carolina versus Alex Murdaugh double murder trial. Dr. Kinsey was instrumental in explaining to the jury how the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh happened that fateful night. Dr. Kinsey retired from the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office and now runs his own private investigator business. Dr. Kinsey was retained to investigate the Steven Smith case that was allegedly connected to the Murdaugh family after the Murdaugh trial concluded. Dr. Kinsey is a super interesting person, brilliant and knowledgable. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to hear him speak about the behind the scenes events and what he thinks on these topics. We welcome Dr. Kinsey and our VIP Guests to CREK on March 22nd! See you there!
