On the evening of August 17, 2018, 59-year-old Robert Marion Ford Jr. and his 25-year-old son, Robbie Stetson Ford, were found shot to death at their home in Conway, South Carolina. Their partially burned vehicle had been discovered in a field in Nichols, a discovery that led investigators to the house and the subsequent determination that both deaths were homicides.

The investigation later focused on family connections. Authorities arrested three people in August 2020 and charged Robert’s daughter, Samantha Ford Rabon, with arranging the killings. Prosecutors said the motive was financial gain tied to an inheritance and life insurance proceeds, and that Rabon enlisted Randy Grainger to carry out the shootings. A cousin, Teresa Martin, was also implicated.

Reports describe forensic evidence recovered near the burned vehicle and testimony from co‑defendants during the case against Rabon. Many questions remain about how the plot developed inside the family and what else investigators uncovered. Does anyone have information about Robert or Robbie’s lives in Conway or about events leading up to August 17, 2018?
