## Resource

In a chilling case from Williamsburg County, South Carolina, Kenneth McClary faces murder charges after a fiery apartment collapse claimed a victim’s life—yet the fire’s injuries and surveillance footage point to a deliberate setup. SLED investigators found evidence the victim’s wounds didn’t match fire trauma, while video shows McClary with the victim, then fleeing the scene before smoke erupted from the back of the building. Compounding suspicion: McClary had prior arson ties, was found with burnt gear and a burn barrel, and even bore visible injuries. Authorities vow to pursue more charges as the investigation deepens—a stark warning of how quickly tragedy can be engineered.
