Scheduled to air at 10 p.m. Monday (Sept. 16), the episode examines Grant’s involvement in the investigation of two related deaths in Augusta.
Grant led the investigation into the 2018 murders of Esau Royal and Ashley Knowles in Richmond County. The episode will provide a detailed account of the case, including the investigative strategies and challenges faced during the probe. Grant’s role in resolving these complex cases is highlighted through a presentation of his methods and the case’s resolution.
“I’ve dedicated my career to seeking justice for victims and their families, and this case was one of the most challenging and rewarding investigations of my career,” Grant said in a press release. “I’m honored to share this story with Deadly Case Files and hope it underscores the importance of bringing closure to victims of violent crimes.”
This feature reflects Grant’s experience and expertise in homicide investigations. The episode aims to offer viewers a comprehensive understanding of the investigative process and the efforts involved in solving high-profile cases.
