Man Charged with Murder in Myrtle Beach

Sheridan Dirk Fogle, 54, has been arrested and charged with the murder of Penni Whiteside, whose remains were found buried under a firepit in the yard of their shared Myrtle Beach home. Whiteside had been missing since May 2022, and her remains were discovered in June 2024 after neighbors suggested she might be buried there. Fogle was arrested in Orangeburg, South Carolina, on August 29, 2024. The Myrtle Beach Police Department called Whiteside's death 'a tragic loss of life and a senseless crime of violence.' The case remains under investigation as authorities have not disclosed the cause of death or Fogle's motive.
