As Hulu prepares to premiere its original series “Murdaugh: Death in the Family” on October 15th, investigative journalist Mandy Matney and the LUNASHARK team revisit the pivotal cases that have gripped the Lowcountry and the nation. This special release is part of a curated collection of 40 episodes, remastered and re-released over the next eight weeks, offering listeners a fresh perspective on the reporting and real events that inspired the Hulu series.On this very first episode, released on June 22, 2021, Mandy Matney discusses the Murdaugh family's history and recent tragedies, including the 2019 boat crash involving Paul Murdaugh, the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, and the 2018 death of Gloria Satterfield. We detail the double homicide of Paul and his mother Maggie on June 7th 2021, noting the involvement of SLED due to potential conflicts of interest with local law enforcement. At this point in time, Alex Murdaugh, the family patriarch, is a person of interest but provided an alibi that would later implode due to good police work and some dogged reporting holding those agencies accountable.In order to understand the double homicide investigation of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, we need to understand the Murdaugh family, their power in South Carolina and the three mysterious deaths tied to them...

The Banker Behind Murdaugh: Russell Laffitte Sentenced for Fraud & Conspiracy Russell Laffitte was once the golden boy of South Carolina banking—CEO of Palmetto State Bank, “Independent Banker of the Year,” heir to a century-old family dynasty. Now, he's headed to federal prison. In this episode of Hidden Killers, host Tony Brueski takes you inside the courtroom and beyond, unpacking the full story behind Laffitte's five-year federal sentence for bank fraud, conspiracy, and wire fraud—all committed to prop up none other than convicted killer Alex Murdaugh. This isn't just about dirty money—it's about the quiet power that makes crimes like Murdaugh's possible. Laffitte didn't pull the trigger. But he moved the money. He signed the loans. He drained trust accounts meant for injured clients and grieving families. And for years, he helped Alex Murdaugh steal from the people who needed protection most. We break down how the scheme worked, who got hurt, and why Laffitte finally pleaded guilty—despite originally fighting the charges. We also explore what his downfall says about the toxic loyalty, unchecked privilege, and small-town dynasties that enabled Murdaugh to wreak havoc for over a decade. Was Laffitte a victim of charm and pressure—or was he always this willing to betray the public trust? And how many more accomplices are still hiding in plain sight? With new details from federal documents, court transcripts, and expert analysis, this is the story of what happens when the people who are supposed to protect the system… become part of the rot.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland break down what happened Sunday night on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, when an off-duty Beaufort County Sheriff's Office deputy held at least three teenagers at gunpoint. In a chilling (and very unhinged) video, the teen boys, who were reportedly walking in the deputy's neighborhood, begged for their lives and cried for their mom as the deputy is seen pointing his service weapon at them individually, threatening and even dragging them on the ground.  Mandy, Liz and Eric share their reactions to the video and discuss all the ways the case seems to be getting mishandled from the beginning — especially the part where BCSO hasn't arrested the deputy and is refusing to release his name as if this were pre-Internet days.  Also on the show, Russell Laffitte has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for using his family's bank to help Alex Murdaugh steal money from Alex's clients. And former South Carolina Rep. RJ May — founding member of the state Freedom Caucus — has pleaded guilty to five federal counts of distributing child sexual abuse material … meaning, he's finally admitting that he's JoeBidennnn69. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Off-duty deputy was caught on camera pointing his weapon at children in his neighborhood - @Mandy_Matney - Sept 28, 2025

NEW MURDAUGH TRIAL? The Fight to Overturn a Guilty Verdict Begins You thought the Alex Murdaugh saga was over? Think again. While the disgraced legal scion sits in a cell, a new and complex battle is just beginning in the South Carolina Supreme Court. In this segment, we break down the critical first steps in Alec Murdaugh's fight to overturn his double murder conviction. The state has filed its brief, calling the evidence "overwhelming," but Murdaugh's defense team, led by Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, is firing back with stunning allegations of jury tampering, fabricated evidence, and a "perfect storm of investigative failures." We'll explain exactly what the "official record of appeal" is and why every single document and transcript from the original trial is about to be put under a microscope. This isn't just a legal formality; it's the foundation for what could become South Carolina's most notorious trial... for a second time. Then, we dive into how Hollywood is tackling this chilling story. We watch and react to the brand new trailer for Hulu's upcoming drama, Murdaugh: Death in the Family. How accurate is this dramatized version? From the fatal boat crash to the dark underbelly of a legal dynasty, we analyze the trailer's portrayal of the family's secrets and lies. Does this Hollywood retelling capture the true horror of what happened at Moselle, or is it just another sensationalized true crime adaptation? Join us as we explore the intersection of justice and entertainment, and what it means when a family's darkest moments become a national spectacle. The fight for Alec Murdaugh's future is officially underway, and you won't believe the twists that are already emerging.

Analyzing Alex Murdaugh's FIRST Words to Police (CHILLING) What does a man say just moments after discovering his wife and son have been brutally murdered? In this gripping segment, we analyze one of the most critical pieces of evidence in the Alex Murdaugh case: his first full interrogation with police, recorded from the back of a cruiser at the chaotic crime scene. This is the moment his story begins, and every word, every pause, and every detail matters. We play the raw footage, allowing you to see and hear for yourself how Murdaugh describes the horrific discovery. Pay close attention to his demeanor. Is his calmness a sign of profound shock, the effect of narcotics, or the icy composure of a man trying to control a narrative he just created? We break down his statements, from his claims of checking for a pulse to the immediate deflection towards his son Paul's legal troubles from the boat crash. We contrast his reaction with that of other high-profile figures in true crime, like Wendi Adelson, to highlight just how starkly different his behavior appears. Is this the reaction of a devastated victim, or a calculating killer laying the groundwork for his alibi? This footage is a masterclass in criminal psychology and interrogation analysis. You get to be the detective and decide for yourself what you see in the eyes of a man who has just lost everything—or a man who has just taken it all away. This is a must-watch for anyone fascinated by the psychology of deception.

A Crime Scene COVER-UP? Shocking Failures in the Murdaugh Investigation Why would a man slaughter his own wife and son? The prosecution's answer was as chilling as it was complex: Alex Murdaugh is a "family annihilator." In this segment, we dissect this horrifying psychological profile and apply it to the facts of the Murdaugh case. We explore the prosecution's theory that Murdaugh, facing imminent exposure for his massive financial crimes, chose to murder his family rather than face the shame and ruin that was coming for him. By turning himself into a tragic victim, he could gain sympathy and delay the inevitable. It's a deep dive into the mind of a narcissist, where image is everything and human life is disposable. Beyond the motive, we expose the shocking incompetence and procedural failures that plagued the initial investigation at the Moselle property. The crime scene was a disaster. We reveal how officers trampled over potential evidence, failed to secure the area, and allowed Murdaugh himself to wander the property, creating a contaminated mess that made it nearly impossible to find proof of any other suspect. Was this just incompetence from an inexperienced small-town force overwhelmed by a high-profile case, or was it a deliberate effort to protect one of their own? We analyze how these critical early mistakes almost allowed Alex Murdaugh to get away with murder and made the prosecution's job infinitely harder. This is a stunning look at how a case can be won or lost in the first few hours, and how a botched investigation can cast doubt on a verdict years later.

Beyond the motive, we expose the shocking incompetence and procedural failures that plagued the initial investigation at the Moselle property. The crime scene was a disaster. We reveal how officers trampled over potential evidence, failed to secure the area, and allowed Murdaugh himself to wander the property, creating a contaminated mess that made it nearly impossible to find proof of any other suspect. Was this just incompetence from an inexperienced small-town force overwhelmed by a high-profile case, or was it a deliberate effort to protect one of their own? We analyze how these critical early mistakes almost allowed Alex Murdaugh to get away with murder and made the prosecution's job infinitely harder. This is a stunning look at how a case can be won or lost in the first few hours, and how a botched investigation can cast doubt on a verdict years later.

A Crime Scene COVER-UP? Shocking Failures in the Murdaugh Investigation Why would a man slaughter his own wife and son? The prosecution's answer was as chilling as it was complex: Alex Murdaugh is a "family annihilator."

Analyzing Alex Murdaugh's FIRST Words to Police (CHILLING) What does a man say just moments after discovering his wife and son have been brutally murdered? In this gripping segment, we analyze one of the most critical pieces of evidence in the Alex Murdaugh case: his first full interrogation with police, recorded from the back of a cruiser at the chaotic crime scene. This is the moment his story begins, and every word, every pause, and every detail matters. We play the raw footage, allowing you to see and hear for yourself how Murdaugh describes the horrific discovery. Pay close attention to his demeanor. Is his calmness a sign of profound shock, the effect of narcotics, or the icy composure of a man trying to control a narrative he just created? We break down his statements, from his claims of checking for a pulse to the immediate deflection towards his son Paul's legal troubles from the boat crash. We contrast his reaction with that of other high-profile figures in true crime, like Wendi Adelson, to highlight just how starkly different his behavior appears. Is this the reaction of a devastated victim, or a calculating killer laying the groundwork for his alibi? This footage is a masterclass in criminal psychology and interrogation analysis. You get to be the detective and decide for yourself what you see in the eyes of a man who has just lost everything—or a man who has just taken it all away. This is a must-watch for anyone fascinated by the psychology of deception.

NEW MURDAUGH TRIAL? The Fight to Overturn a Guilty Verdict Begins You thought the Alex Murdaugh saga was over? Think again. While the disgraced legal scion sits in a cell, a new and complex battle is just beginning in the South Carolina Supreme Court. In this segment, we break down the critical first steps in Alec Murdaugh's fight to overturn his double murder conviction. The state has filed its brief, calling the evidence "overwhelming," but Murdaugh's defense team, led by Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, is firing back with stunning allegations of jury tampering, fabricated evidence, and a "perfect storm of investigative failures." We'll explain exactly what the "official record of appeal" is and why every single document and transcript from the original trial is about to be put under a microscope. This isn't just a legal formality; it's the foundation for what could become South Carolina's most notorious trial... for a second time. Then, we dive into how Hollywood is tackling this chilling story. We watch and react to the brand new trailer for Hulu's upcoming drama, Murdaugh: Death in the Family. How accurate is this dramatized version? From the fatal boat crash to the dark underbelly of a legal dynasty, we analyze the trailer's portrayal of the family's secrets and lies. Does this Hollywood retelling capture the true horror of what happened at Moselle, or is it just another sensationalized true crime adaptation? Join us as we explore the intersection of justice and entertainment, and what it means when a family's darkest moments become a national spectacle. The fight for Alec Murdaugh's future is officially underway, and you won't believe the twists that are already emerging.

Alex Murdaugh's defense team has filed a 79-page response challenging prosecutors' efforts to block his request for a new murder trial. His lawyers argue that the state's opposition is flawed and maintain that Murdaugh was denied a fair trial due to alleged jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill. Although Retired Chief Justice Jean Toal denied a retrial—despite finding Hill not credible—Murdaugh's attorneys insist that key evidence was ignored, forensic findings were misrepresented, and irrelevant financial evidence was used to distract from the lack of proof tying Murdaugh to the murders of his wife and son. In this episode we discuss the defense team's strategy and the possibility of Murdaugh getting a new trial with attorney Matt Siembieda. Matt Siembieda is an attorney and law professor at Temple Law School. Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are joined by Luna Shark Producer (and Mandy's husband) the extraordinary David Moses — who is filling in for Eric Bland this week. First up on the show, Mandy, Liz and David talk about what it was like for them watching the trailer for “Murdaugh: Death In the Family” for the first time and the profound emotional impact it had on them. Mandy, Liz and David talk about the journey of covering the Murdaugh case for the past nearly seven years and how the Hulu series — which is inspired by the Murdaugh Murders Podcast and the real-life events surrounding the case. “Murdaugh: Death in the Family,” starring Patricia Arquette, Jason Clarke, Brittany Snow, and Alicia Kelley premieres Oct. 15 on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+. Also on today's show, Alex Murdaugh's mission to get a new trial now includes evidence that Team Murdaugh still doesn't know how to craft a narrative of Alex's so-called innocence.  The state's filing laid out Alex's guilt beat for beat and in a way that essentially created a trap for Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, who were now forced to reply with a rebuttal to the “Alex is the murderer” argument.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Disney+ and Hulu are offering fans new companion video podcasts for favorite shows” - ABC7, Sept 6, 2025

Family Killer or Master Manipulator? Inside Alex Murdaugh's Trial Performance In one of the most dramatic true crime trials in American history, Alex Murdaugh took the stand to defend himself against charges of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. His testimony became a masterclass in denial, deception, and psychological performance. On Hidden Killers Live, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and Todd Michaels break down the key courtroom moments that shaped the jury's view of Murdaugh. From his emphatic opening line—“I did not shoot my wife and son”—to the bizarre body language that contradicted his words, every detail mattered. Nodding while denying guilt, shifting stories, and a sudden admission that he lied about his whereabouts on the night of the murders painted a portrait of a man desperate to control the narrative. Murdaugh's defense leaned heavily on claims of opioid addiction, paranoia, and distrust of law enforcement as explanations for why he misled investigators. But can addiction truly justify lying about your presence at the kennels—the exact crime scene—on the night your family was killed? Legal analysts, forensic psychologists, and true crime experts have weighed in, and our panel explores those arguments in depth. Viewers will also see Murdaugh's infamous “snot cry” apology, where he addressed his surviving son, Buster, and other family members. Was it grief, guilt, or simply a performance? The cadence of his testimony, his colloquial language, and his attempts to appear relatable raise questions about whether his emotions were genuine or strategically rehearsed. Beyond the murders, the episode digs into Alex's history of fraud, financial exploitation, and betrayal of trust, showing how patterns of manipulation extended far beyond the courtroom. Was this trial ultimately about murder, or about a narcissistic collapse—an unraveling of control that ended in familial destruction? Join us as we dissect every gesture, every inconsistency, and every calculated move from Alex Murdaugh's time on the stand. This is courtroom theater, psychological warfare, and the anatomy of a high-profile true crime trial.

Attorney Albert Wunsch was a prosecutor and is a defense attorney. He has strong opinions on the State's response to Alex Murdaugh's appeal. Wunsch co-hosts the Tangent true crime podcast with V innie Politan. The State filed their response to Alex Murdaugh's appeal of his double murder of conviction of his wife and son. In their 182 page brief they laid out their case that the evidence pointing to Murdaugh's guilt was so overwhelming, that Clerk of Court, Becky Hill's "fleeting and foolish" comments would have had no effect on the verdict. The State made their case for why all the other reasons Murdaugh's defense team hoped would overturn the conviction should be ignored by the Sc State Supreme Court.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/X7H24DzEPnI Due to numerous public records requests in the Bryan Kohberger Case, law enforcement agencies in Idaho released over 200 crime scene photos online, some of which depict the victims, albeit blurred. Though it was blurred it still leaves room for the imagination and recommended that it be blacked out redactions. This widespread release occurred because the case did not go to trial, meaning the photos didn't undergo the official sealing process typically seen in court proceedings like the Alex Murdaugh case. The lack of judicial oversight in the release process of the Bryan Kohberger Case led to a lawsuit against the city of Moscow. Madison Mogen's mother, Karen Laramie, requested a temporary restraining order (TRO) after redacted crime scene photos were released. On August 15th, Idaho Second District Judge Marshall issued a TRO, blocking the city from releasing any further images, audio, or video depicting the inside of Madison Mogen's bedroom until a preliminary injunction hearing on August 21st. While the TRO specifically applies to Mogen's bedroom, the city has stated it will not release photos or videos from any victim's bedroom until the court fully reviews the matter. The attorney representing the families, Leander James, emphasized that the families want peace and not conflict, and urged the public to avoid viewing the photos.

What Happens if Donna Adelson Testifies? Most defendants facing first-degree murder charges stay far away from the witness stand — the legal risk is simply too high. But Donna Adelson may be different. In this Hidden Killers episode, we explore the psychology, ego, and strategy behind her apparent willingness to testify in her own defense in the Dan Markel murder trial. Could this be rooted in confidence, even overconfidence, in her ability to persuade a jury? Does it reflect a need to reclaim control of the story from her attorneys? Or is it part of a broader family strategy to project strength in the face of overwhelming evidence? Drawing on real-world parallels — from Jodi Arias to Alex Murdaugh — we break down how testimony can either humanize a defendant or destroy their credibility, and how jurors interpret tone, body language, and personality from the witness box. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #Testifying #TrialStrategy #FloridaCrime #WitnessStand #CharlieAdelson #MurderTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this Hidden Killers episode, we explore the psychology, ego, and strategy behind her apparent willingness to testify in her own defense in the Dan Markel murder trial. Could this be rooted in confidence, even overconfidence, in her ability to persuade a jury? Does it reflect a need to reclaim control of the story from her attorneys? Or is it part of a broader family strategy to project strength in the face of overwhelming evidence? Drawing on real-world parallels — from Jodi Arias to Alex Murdaugh — we break down how testimony can either humanize a defendant or destroy their credibility, and how jurors interpret tone, body language, and personality from the witness box. #DonnaAdelson #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #Testifying #TrialStrategy #FloridaCrime #WitnessStand #CharlieAdelson #MurderTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell were pleasantly surprised last week to find out how much power the South Carolina Attorney General's Office's packed with its punch back to Alex Murdaugh and his increasingly embarrassing attempts at getting his murder conviction overturned.  Six attorneys at the AG's office — including Creighton “BCE” Waters himself — compiled a nearly flawless 182-page response to Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffith's arguments in favor of an appeal. Let's just say, BCE and Co. ate and left no crumbs.

The State filed their response to Alex Murdaugh's appeal of his double murder of conviction of his wife and son. In their 182 page brief they laid out their case that the evidence pointing to Murdaugh's guilt was so overwhelming, that Clerk of Court, Becky Hill's "fleeting and foolish" comments would have had no effect on the verdict. The State made their case for why all the other reasons Murdaugh's defense team hoped would overturn the conviction should be ignored by the Sc State Supreme Court.

Alex Murdaugh Appeal EXPOSED: Prosecutors DENY IMPACT Of Jury Tampering Claims The battle over Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction just hit another explosive chapter — and this time, it's the State firing back. In a newly filed 182-page brief, South Carolina prosecutors are urging the state supreme court to reject Murdaugh's push for a new trial, despite allegations of jury tampering by court clerk Becky Hill. Hill allegedly told jurors during the trial to “watch his body language,” a comment Murdaugh's defense team says crossed the line and poisoned the verdict. They argue that when a court official makes a statement like that, the law should presume prejudice — and that presumption alone should be enough to warrant a retrial. But prosecutors aren't conceding an inch. They describe Hill's conduct as “foolish and fleeting,” not the kind of influence that changes the outcome. They point to the January 2024 evidentiary hearing, where retired Chief Justice Jean Toal found no credible proof the remark affected deliberations. And they remind the court of the evidence that sealed Murdaugh's fate: the kennel video placing him at the crime scene minutes before the murders, his repeated lies about being there, and the phone data locking him into the timeline. The State also defends the week of financial-crime testimony — which the defense claims was unfairly prejudicial — saying it established a clear motive. They argue that even if Hill's comment was improper, the evidence against Murdaugh was overwhelming, making any misstep harmless. Now, with Murdaugh's team preparing their reply and oral arguments expected in the fall, the South Carolina Supreme Court will have to decide: was this a harmless slip, or a crack in the foundation big enough to collapse the whole verdict? #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #JuryTampering #MurdaughTrial #LegalNews #CrimeNews #SouthCarolina #TrueCrimeToday #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland have read the 182-page response filed Friday evening by the South Carolina Attorney General's Office in Alex Murdaugh's appellate case and it is BEYOND fiery. Prosecutors pulled no punches when deconstructing every single one of Team Murdaugh's intellectually dishonest and time-wasting arguments in pursuit of getting his murder conviction overturned. They also laid out the facts of the case — and all of the compelling evidence against Alex — in what is the clearest account of what happened in June 2021 yet. Mandy, Liz and Eric break down the best parts of the filing. Their conclusion? Anyone who STILL thinks Alex Murdaugh didn't get a fair trial needs to read every word of this response before talking. Also on the show, Congresswoman Nancy Mace has announced she's running for South Carolina governor... Will Nancy's antics and reputation put much-needed pressure on her biggest opponent, Attorney General Alan Wilson, to do his job?  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️Episode References US Marshalls refuse re-entry to SC federal courthouse to press during jury deliberations in August 2024 

Alex Murdaugh Appeal EXPOSED: Jury Tampering, Flawed Forensics, & Missing Evidence The Alex Murdaugh case is back in the spotlight — not because of new charges, but because of an explosive appeal that could rewrite the ending of one of the most notorious murder trials in South Carolina history. In December 2024, Murdaugh's defense team filed a 132-page appeal with the South Carolina Supreme Court, claiming his double murder trial was “infected with unfairness” from start to finish. The allegations are staggering: jury tampering by former court clerk Becky Hill, the use of questionable forensic evidence, the admission of six days of testimony about unrelated financial crimes, and the discovery of previously unseen text messages between Murdaugh and longtime associate Curtis “Eddie” Smith. At the heart of the appeal is Hill's alleged interference with jurors — comments she's accused of making during the trial, urging them not to believe Murdaugh's testimony. Hill has since been arrested on perjury, obstruction, and misconduct charges, but not for jury tampering itself. The defense says this is enough to demand a new trial. The State says it's inappropriate but not enough to overturn the verdict. The forensic fights are just as intense, with the defense attacking shell casing toolmark analysis and an unscientific “iPhone toss” demonstration used to rebut their theory of a third-party culprit. And now, the Eddie Smith texts have thrown fuel on the fire, with the defense claiming they were never disclosed. The State's response is due any day now. Oral arguments could happen this fall, but a ruling may not come until 2026. If the convictions fall, it won't mean Murdaugh is declared innocent — it will mean the court decided the trial itself wasn't fair. #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #TrueCrime #BeckyHill #EddieSmith #SouthCarolina #CourtroomDrama #LegalUpdate #MurdaughMurders #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
