Episode #43 - The Murder of Dee Eady — Inside the Manhunt...

What this episode covers

When 73-year-old Dee Eady was found dead in her home in Forest, Mississippi, on December 30, what began as a quiet Saturday turned into one of the most intense manhunts in Scott County history. Soon after, authorities charged Sammy Patrick with capital murder, armed robbery, sexual assault, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. In this episode of Investigation: Homicide, hosts Therese Apel and Amanda Johansson sit down with Scott County Sheriff Mike Lee to take listeners inside the case — from the first call to the exhaustive search that spanned counties. Sheriff Lee shares how investigators tracked their suspect, the teamwork that brought the case to a close, and what justice means for a small community shaken by violence. Listen as we go behind the badge for an unflinching look at how one investigation unfolded — and what it takes to bring answers to a grieving town. This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
