On July 23, 2021 in a bar located in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Evan Hawthorne and Larry Vaughn, were involved in an altercation that seemed to stem from a disagreement over who had worse PTSD.

The next day Hawthorne would be arrested for murdering retired Rock Hill police lieutenant Larry Vaughn. Evan Hawthorne would eventually be sentenced to life in prison.

Pete Skidmore, a private investigator with over 32 years of experience in criminal investigations joined Impact to discuss some of the problems he had with the investigation and the trial.

Skidmore covers the key aspects of the case, including the initial altercation, the investigation process, and the critical role of video evidence.

Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Now they cover true crime past and present from the southeast region of the U.S.
