New Details Revealed For 2019 Murder Case

The death was ruled as a homicide but no murder charges had been filed for the case.

An update on a murder case that closed in 2019.

On Tuesday, Irene Clodfelter, of Murrells Inlet, pleaded guilty to two counts of obstruction of justice.

The charges are placed in regards to the death of her late husband, Hubert Clodfelter. His daughters reported him missing in March of 2019 who said they had not been in contact with him for two years. Irene, who was not his daughters’ biological mother, informed investigators that the last time she saw her husband was in March of 2019.

Huberts daughters discovered his body inside a storage unit under a family-owned mobile home at the Myrtle Beach Travel Park in June of 2019.

The death was ruled as a homicide but no murder charges had been filed for the case. In June 2022, Irene went to trial in Horry County on an accessory after the fact of murder charge.

The state could not prove murder because it could not determine where or when the victim was killed, so the charge was terminated.

Irene has now admitted to lying and covering up details that proved she was in contact with her husband during the time he was supposedly missing.

Clodfelter has now been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
