Where Is Eric "Easy" Greene Now? How a $300 Debt Led to the Murder of Morgan Duncan

Netflix’s Missing: Dead or Alive season 2 revisits the disappearance and murder of 27-year-old Morgan Duncan, a Columbia, South Carolina father whose life ended after a dispute investigators say began over a $300 drug debt. The case drew attention for its brutality, the vulnerability of the victim and the slow, painstaking work to recover his remains.

Disappearance and initial investigation

Duncan was last seen at his apartment in the Springtree complex on Nov. 28, 2023. Deputies performing a welfare check found his phone, wallet and medications inside the unit, prompting concern that something had happened to him. From the start, investigators treated the case as suspicious and launched a missing-person inquiry.

Arrest and charges

In early February 2024, authorities arrested Eric Greene, known locally as "Easy," who also lived at Springtree. Greene — already on probation for prior drug convictions — was charged with Duncan’s murder. Prosecutors later described Duncan as a vulnerable adult and said the fatal encounter stemmed from an alleged $300 drug debt.

Witness accounts and alleged motive

According to witness testimony presented during the investigation, Duncan told Greene he would repay the debt after receiving his next paycheck. The discussion reportedly escalated into a physical altercation inside Duncan’s apartment that witnesses said ended with Greene strangling him. Greene consistently denied involvement in public court statements.

Recovery of remains

Over the months following Duncan’s disappearance, investigators recovered partial remains in two separate locations in Richland County. Some remains were found in woods behind a local library in June 2024, and additional remains were recovered from a storm drain in December 2024. The staggered discoveries extended the family’s anguish and complicated the forensic investigation.

Trial, conviction and sentence

A jury convicted Greene of murder on July 18, 2025. A judge later sentenced him to 57 years in prison; he is serving that sentence at Kirkland Correctional Institution in Columbia and filed an appeal within a week of sentencing. The lengthy sentence brought a measure of closure to Duncan’s family, who portrayed him as a vulnerable young father preyed upon by someone he trusted.

Other people involved

Two additional individuals — Julivia Waller (known as "Sunshine") and Jerome Harper — were charged with accessory after the fact, accused of actions such as helping move or conceal remains or otherwise obstructing investigators. Waller was acquitted on July 23, 2025, after spending 528 days in custody; her lawyer emphasized the severe personal toll of the ordeal. Harper’s legal situation remains unresolved.

Family reaction and broader impact

“He didn’t do anything to deserve what happened to him,” said LaTanza Duncan, Morgan’s mother, reflecting the family’s grief and the case’s focus on protecting vulnerable adults from exploitation and violence.

The case raises difficult questions about drug-related violence, the safety of vulnerable people in marginalized communities, and how quickly minor disputes can escalate into deadly encounters. It is one of the central episodes of Missing: Dead or Alive season 2, which sheds light on investigative work and the human cost behind the headlines.
