Okay - I have been trying to avoid this case, but decided to keep up with it. BUT! I will have to ask for help in looking up court dates, as I can't access this:

SC Judicial Department

I read up thread that all 4 had bond hearings - but no date was given. If anyone can find the next court date, it would be appreciated!

TIA! :)

and @PeterThomasFan some of the links you provided didn't work for me. I clicked but it didn't go "anywhere".... don't know "why". Like the one above in post #20 and #12 & #15.
Does that article maybe have next date? :)
 
This is what we know about victims, suspects in Socastee double-murder case
July 31, 2018 05:12 PM

Matthew Autry promised to return to Rock Hill for his daughter Jordan’s seventh birthday this Saturday.

“No matter what, no matter how, he was going to be here for her birthday,” his mother, Tracy Baker, told The Sun News.

Autry’s family identified the 29-year-old as one of two victims in last week’s double homicide in Socastee. Arrest warrants describe a brutal death with Autry and another man both shot and stabbed before the car was set on fire.

Jimmy Richardson, 15th Judicial Circuit Solicitor, described the murder as a drug-related killing.

But we know who the second victim is according to this article.... which I can read! :D

You're right @Niner. Thanks for pointing that out. The link are malformed. If you right-click, you can copy the link, but it's incorrectly formatted. I suppose I pasted it wrong. Still getting used to forum update.

Here are the correct links...

#12 - Bond denied for four charged in connection to burned bodies found in Socastee

#15 - Drugs, payment for arson and stab wounds: New details released in Socastee murder

#20 - This is what we know about victims, suspects in Socastee double-murder case

I will notify a mod and see if they can update them since I can't.

Hey @MicheleT - can I bother you on this case to look it up for everyone but Cox?

That would be Stell, Cook, Owens, Faile, Tatum & Little.
 
Owens - Prelim hearing on 10/12
Faile - same date as Owens
Looks like there are transfer notices on Faile and Owens, moving from General Session to Central Jury Court.
Cook and Tatum no new dates
Stell - 2018A2610201913 (murder) no new court dates.
I still didn't find anything on Little.
