Sheridan Fogle, 56, was convicted of murdering his girlfriend, Penni Whiteside, and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Authorities found Whiteside’s remains in a wooden chest buried beneath a fire pit in Myrtle Beach in 2024, more than two years after she disappeared. Fogle admitted strangling her but claimed he acted in self-defense; prosecutors argued he killed her intentionally and lied to police to conceal the crime. Whiteside’s son said he was glad the case had reached a conclusion and hoped to move forward.
