Originally released in January 2022, Who Killed Maggie & Paul? Part Two captures the moment when the investigation into the Murdaugh murders turned another corner.Journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney dig into what their trusted sources were saying about key evidence placing Alex Murdaugh at the Moselle crime scene—and the pressure building around law enforcement to act.We dissect conflicting timelines, question the Colleton County coroner's findings, and trace how Alex's shifting alibis exposed deep cracks in South Carolina's justice system.This remastered edition revisits the reporting with new clarity in light of Alex Murdaugh's later conviction, offering listeners a gripping look at how truth slowly breaks through layers of privilege, power, and corruption that once seemed impenetrable in the Lowcountry. Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

When the Murdaugh Murders Podcast first released Episode 46 in May of 2022, it exposed how the 2019 boat crash that killed Mallory Beach became the case that cracked open a century-old power system in South Carolina.In this newly remastered edition, journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney revisit the episode that revealed how one tragedy unraveled the Murdaugh dynasty — and how victims' families fought back against money, influence, and intimidation.The hosts trace the ongoing fallout from the Beach family's civil cases, the legislative push to reduce corporate accountability in alcohol sales, and the extraordinary courage behind Mals-Palz, the nonprofit created in Mallory's memory. Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland dress up for Huluween on this jam-packed episode - and you can see the video version of COJ Cinema on your LUNASHARK Premium dashboard later this week.  We unpack a wild week of contradictions in South Carolina's justice system — from the Murdaugh: Death in the Family series' chilling portrayal of Alex Murdaugh's unraveling, to the shocking arrest of Beaufort County deputy Billy Squires, caught on video holding four teens at gunpoint, to the ugliest of fat cats suckling at the taxpayer trough for frivolous investigations.  The conversation first touches on the emotional aftermath of Murdaugh: Death in the Family and Patricia Arquette's nuanced portrayal of Maggie Murdaugh, revealing how addiction, control, and silence intersected in the family's downfall. The team discusses how privilege continues to shape accountability in the Lowcountry — how law enforcement officers are “held to a higher standard” only when it benefits them, and how political connections often mean the difference between a perp walk and a polite summons without all the trimming every other person.  And finally, we're shining a light on one of the biggest threats to our state's fiscal security… lawyers like Mark Moore gobbling up HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of taxpayer dollars for fishing expeditions with little to no actionable results...

This episode marks a reminder that accountability journalism doesn't end with a verdict… it begins there.Co-hosts and journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney take a look at the latest criticism of the murder investigation and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division — as well as Jim Griffin's strange post-trial social media presence and Russell Laffitte's defeats in the courtroom.

Before the murders, before the boat crash, before the empire collapsed — there was Gloria Satterfield. For more than two decades, Gloria worked for the Murdaugh family in South Carolina. She wasn't just a housekeeper — she was family. She helped raise their children, managed their home, and held together the daily chaos that fueled one of the South's most powerful legal dynasties. And then, in February 2018, she was found bleeding on the brick steps outside the Murdaugh home. The official story? She tripped over the family dogs. No autopsy. No investigation. Just another quiet tragedy in the shadow of privilege. But years later, that “accident” would become the first thread that unraveled everything. Investigators discovered Alex Murdaugh — the same man Gloria worked for — had orchestrated an insurance scam, convincing her sons to sue him so he could “help” them, then stealing every penny of the $4 million settlement. Her death, and his deception, became the moral fault line that exposed his entire empire of fraud, lies, and murder. This episode dives deep into Gloria's life, the mysterious circumstances of her death, and how her name ultimately brought down the Murdaugh dynasty. From the 911 call that didn't add up, to the exhumation of her body, to Alex's ultimate confession — this is the story of the woman who became the ghost haunting every courtroom photo of Alex Murdaugh in shackles. It's not just true crime. It's a moral autopsy of power, trust, and betrayal in the American South.

When The Murdaugh Murders Podcast first released this episode on November 3, 2021, Mandy (and David) were just beginning to unravel the financial rot behind Alex Murdaugh's crimes.This pivotal chapter revisits the moment Eric Bland, Mark Tinsley, and even (Team Dick's) Joe McCulloch filed for a groundbreaking receivership motion — freezing Murdaugh's assets and setting the stage to expose the scale of his deception. This episode marks the turning point where the podcast stopped chasing headlines and started demanding accountability — connecting the courtroom, the cash, and the culture that protected Alex Murdaugh for decades. On Tuesday, November 2, 2021 Judge Daniel Hall appointed two outside parties — attorney John T. Lay Jr. and former U.S. attorney Peter M. McCoy Jr. — to have control over Alex and Buster Murdaugh's assets, which is known as “receivership” in the court.Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Mandy Matney's hit podcast, “Murdaugh Murders” fascinated true-crime listeners like myself by reporting in real time on the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh at the hands of husband and father, respectively, Alex Murdaugh. It also provides the basis for the new limited series, “Murdaugh: Death in the Family,” (now streaming only on Hulu). Mandy talks with me about facing off against the century-old Murdaugh legal dynasty; gaining the trust of sources who feared possible retribution from the Murdaughs; her theories about what might have happened the night Alex Murdaugh killed his family, and the process of dramatizing her reporting for the screen.

Alex Murdaugh's name has become synonymous with deceit, greed, and betrayal. The former South Carolina attorney confessed to stealing millions from clients, friends, and even his own firm — but does that make him a murderer? In this explosive episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we strip away the money, the scandals, and the headlines to ask one uncomfortable question: did the jury convict Alex Murdaugh for murder, or for being a monster they already hated? In March 2023, Murdaugh was found guilty of killing his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, at their Moselle property. But with no murder weapon, no direct forensic link, and no eyewitnesses, the case depended heavily on his financial crimes to establish motive. His own attorney, Dick Harpootlian, admits Murdaugh is a “horrible person” for what he did financially — but insists that doesn't mean he pulled the trigger. As the South Carolina Supreme Court weighs whether to grant a new trial amid allegations of jury tampering by former court clerk Becky Hill, the debate over guilt versus prejudice is heating back up. Tony breaks down the real evidence: what points to guilt, what points to innocence, and why removing the financial narrative changes everything. Was Murdaugh's conviction built on facts — or on disgust? Is he a murderer, or just a morally bankrupt man who became the perfect villain for America's true-crime obsession? It's time to separate what can be proven from what just feels true.

Even before Patricia Arquette signed on to play Maggie Murdaugh in Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family, she was already “obsessed” with the infamous case of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh. “I had been following it and watched documentaries and different shows about it,” she told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. “I was just really doing a deep dive looking at Narcissistic Personality Disorder.” One of the things that really fascinated Arquette about Maggie was her slow, tragic realization of her husband's true nature. “I like that her awakening starts to happen but even until the last second she still never thinks he's capable of that.” In the end, it was “that danger of your own partner being capable of something so scary was so chilling to me and for her and for all these women.” The Academy Award and Emmy winning actress has been busy in recent years with various projects like Severance on Apple TV+, and her busy schedule is not something she takes for granted. "I'm just grateful honestly at this age that I'm still able to work and getting really good parts and being able to do some more character work, because when you're a young girl, you don't get parts like that, and you don't get chances like that."

When this episode first aired in November 2021, it marked a defining moment in the Murdaugh investigation — and in the evolution of The Murdaugh Murders Podcast. For the first time, journalist Liz Farrell joined Mandy Matney, transforming what had begun as a one-woman pursuit of truth into a powerhouse partnership built on trust, tenacity, and shared purpose. On Friday, November 19th, 2021 we learned that prosecutors issued 27 additional felony charges against Alex Murdaugh bringing the total possible jail time to over a hundreds years and our sources believe that could be just the beginning. In this special edition we'll review the 27 new counts and expand on the implications as we introduce our new partner in true crime. Liz was there when Mandy first discovered inconsistencies in the only document recorded in the Satterfield settlement which blew the lid off a saga like no other.You'll also hear a moment between Mandy and Eric Bland in which he explains all the dominos that had to fall in order for Murdaugh's litany of crimes to come to light. Listen now to the episode that changed everything — the moment The Murdaugh Murders Podcast became a movement for truth and justice. Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

This week, the boys head to the jungle for one of Amazon Studios' first films, James Gray's “The Lost City of Z”. That's pronounced “Zed” for you British purists. The film stars Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson with a beard and glasses, and Sienna Miller. It was produced by Brad Pitt's Plan B and was SOMEHOW filmed on a $30 million budget, half of which was spent flying the dailies out of the actual Amazon jungle.

Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family promised a gripping retelling of the Lowcountry's most disturbing crime saga—and it delivered drama. But how much of it is grounded in the ugly, sprawling truth? In this episode, we compare the streaming series to the real events behind Alex Murdaugh's meteoric fall—from murder and financial fraud to the implosion of a legal dynasty that ruled South Carolina for nearly a century. We dissect what the show nailed—from the 911 call and cell phone video to the boat crash and Gloria Satterfield's death—and where it pulled punches. What's missing is just as important: the cover-ups, the privilege, and the decades-long abuse of power that made it all possible. The dramatization touches on the chaos, but the real story is darker, more calculated, and far more disturbing. This isn't just about a man who murdered his wife and son. It's about a system that let him steal, lie, and manipulate for years without consequence. Watch this before you believe the screen version is the full story. Because what Hulu left out? That's where the real horror lives. #MurdaughMurders #HuluSeries #DeathInTheFamily #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrimeComparison #FactVsFiction #TrueCrimeTV #MurdaughTrial #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the world of white-collar crime, it's not always the man holding the gun who does the most damage. Sometimes, it's the man holding the pen. Russell Laffitte, the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank, has officially been sentenced—state and federal—for his pivotal role in enabling Alex Murdaugh's sprawling fraud schemes. From court-appointed conservator to criminal co-conspirator, Laffitte turned trust into a weapon and helped siphon over $1.8 million from vulnerable clients—victims of injury, trauma, and death. In this explosive breakdown, we dive into Laffitte's calculated choices, the financial mechanisms he exploited, and the chilling pattern of betrayal that turned him into the enabler behind South Carolina's most infamous legal dynasty. This isn't just about a banker gone bad. It's about systemic failure, small-town power, and what happens when legacy becomes liability. We unpack the stolen settlements, the broken promises, and the legal fallout that followed. From the exploitation of Hakeem Pinckney's estate to the stolen trust funds of Natarsha Thomas and the Badger family, this episode exposes how Laffitte kept the Murdaugh machine humming long after it should have shut down. If you thought the Murdaugh case was just about murder—you haven't seen the money trail. And Russell Laffitte was the guy laying down the tracks. #MurdaughMurders #RussellLaffitte #TrueCrime #WhiteCollarCrime #MurdaughFraud #SouthCarolinaScandal #PalmettoBank #ConservatorFraud #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family promised a gripping retelling of the Lowcountry's most disturbing crime saga—and it delivered drama. But how much of it is grounded in the ugly, sprawling truth? In this episode, we compare the streaming series to the real events behind Alex Murdaugh's meteoric fall—from murder and financial fraud to the implosion of a legal dynasty that ruled South Carolina for nearly a century. We dissect what the show nailed—from the 911 call and cell phone video to the boat crash and Gloria Satterfield's death—and where it pulled punches. What's missing is just as important: the cover-ups, the privilege, and the decades-long abuse of power that made it all possible. The dramatization touches on the chaos, but the real story is darker, more calculated, and far more disturbing. This isn't just about a man who murdered his wife and son. It's about a system that let him steal, lie, and manipulate for years without consequence. Watch this before you believe the screen version is the full story. Because what Hulu left out? That's where the real horror lives. #MurdaughMurders #HuluSeries #DeathInTheFamily #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrimeComparison #FactVsFiction #TrueCrimeTV #MurdaughTrial #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeBreakdown Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In the world of white-collar crime, it's not always the man holding the gun who does the most damage. Sometimes, it's the man holding the pen. Russell Laffitte, the former CEO of Palmetto State Bank, has officially been sentenced—state and federal—for his pivotal role in enabling Alex Murdaugh's sprawling fraud schemes. From court-appointed conservator to criminal co-conspirator, Laffitte turned trust into a weapon and helped siphon over $1.8 million from vulnerable clients—victims of injury, trauma, and death. In this explosive breakdown, we dive into Laffitte's calculated choices, the financial mechanisms he exploited, and the chilling pattern of betrayal that turned him into the enabler behind South Carolina's most infamous legal dynasty. This isn't just about a banker gone bad. It's about systemic failure, small-town power, and what happens when legacy becomes liability. We unpack the stolen settlements, the broken promises, and the legal fallout that followed. From the exploitation of Hakeem Pinckney's estate to the stolen trust funds of Natarsha Thomas and the Badger family, this episode exposes how Laffitte kept the Murdaugh machine humming long after it should have shut down. If you thought the Murdaugh case was just about murder—you haven't seen the money trail.

As a TV meteorologist, she's used to getting attention... But she says a deranged viewer became obsessed with her -- following her every move for three terrifying years. Now, along with being afraid, she's angry the man is not behind bars. And it's sweeping America! Kids saying the phrase "Six Seven" nonstop. It's driving parents crazy, and teachers are banning it from the classroom. So, what does six-seven mean? Plus, four legged firestarter! A pooch got a hold of a lithium battery left on the counter... And when he chomped down on it... Disaster. Now fire officials are issuing a warning -- pets and batteries don't mix. And the trial gripped the nation. Alex Murdaugh the patriarch of a South Carolina legal dynasty found guilty of killing his wife and son. Now the case is being made into a Hulu mini-series... But not everyone portrayed in it is happy. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

To play Alex Murdaugh, Jason Clarke wasn't going to turn the man into a caricature, telling producers, “I'm not going to play a bad guy here,” Clarke told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. Instead, Clarke focused on the “tragedy of Roman proportions” in Hulu's ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family,' based on the true story of a South Carolina man convicted in 2023 of murdering his wife and son. “We're not here to sensationalize it or even to replay it. We're there to open it up.” Clarke has two other big projects this year. The first is the Apple TV+ series ‘The Last Frontier,' where he plays a U.S. Marshal in Alaska hunting fugitives who escaped a plane crash. “It's a gut thing. Do I feel like doing eight months in the snow and the winter and the action? You know what? Yes.” Then there's ‘A House of Dynamite,' about which he says director Kathryn Bigelow has “stripped back a lot of the usual tools of cinema.” This diversity in roles is exactly why Clarke does what he does. “The times I'm grumpy, I'm frustrated, I'm hurting, I realized just how lucky I am and also what I'm capable of, and that if you find the right things, you can really disappear into them.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Whether you're revisiting the story or discovering it for the first time, prepare for a revealing, uncompromising look at power, justice, and the pursuit of answers. Alex Murdaugh, a prominent South Carolina attorney whose wife and son were murdered in June, claimed he was shot in the head on September 4, 2021.Nearly three months after his wife and son were murdered, Alex Murdaugh called 911 to report that he himself had been shot... however...  In this gripping episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, investigative journalist Mandy Matney breaks down the shocking alleged shooting of Alex Murdaugh and questions the headline-grabbing and murder investigation-diverting narrative. His attorney Dick Harpootlian told the press that he Alex was pulled over to repair his vehicle along Salkehatchie Road in Hampton County en route to Charleston when a motorist opened fire toward Murdaugh's 2021 Mercedes SUV. However, the lead investigating agency, SLED, had not confirmed those details. This special episode explored all the available details on the incident.   The timing of the shooting coincides with recent unfavorable headlines for Murdaugh, and his family's attorney's statements have us questioning all of these narratives.... Let's dive in...

In the month after Maggie and Paul's murders, there was very little information available about the double homicide investigation. Mandy's sources in law enforcement were extremely careful and tightlipped — so it took months to get enough information about the double homicide that would fill up a podcast episode.On June 7, 2021, Alex Murdaugh called 911 at 10:07 PM, reporting his wife and son were shot. The 911 call was released six weeks later. Paul was shot twice, and Maggie was shot multiple times. SLED took over the case due to potential conflicts of interest with the local sheriff's office. At the time this episode published, no arrests had been made, and speculation surrounded Alex Murdaugh as a person of interest. We look at how the Colleton County Sheriff's office quickly recused itself from the investigation and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) took over the case. We also take a deep dive into the 911 call and all available evidence surrounding the double homicide of Maggie & Paul Murdaugh.Join journalist Mandy Matney as we peer down the rabbit hole of how the Murdaugh family faces legal pressure from all sides, adding to the complexity of these tragic cases.

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...

Alex Murdaugh was sunk by a totality of the evidence against him, but some of the most damning evidence that was presented was the digital evidence that was collected by the investigators and then rebuilt into a timeline showing exactly where Murdaugh was during the time of the murder. When added with the other evidence, such as the video where his voice was heard in the background, it led to a conviction. In Idaho there is a very similar thing taking place behind the scenes as the investigators there have filed over sixty digital warrants already and more expected to come. When you look at the evidence that they had against Alex Murdaugh and you compare it with the evidence collected against Bryan Kohberger, there are many similarities with how the investigations have unfolded.In this episode we take a look at those investigations and see where they are similar and what that might mean for Bryan Kohberger at his trial.

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

Killers, Liars, & Mistrials: Murdaugh & Adelson Cases: FULL BREAKDOWN Welcome to a full-length deep dive into two of the most captivating and complex true crime sagas of our time: the fall of the Murdaugh dynasty and the complete implosion of the Adelson family. This episode covers every angle, from shocking new developments to expert legal analysis. First, we tackle the stunning news that the Alex Murdaugh case is far from over. We break down the intricate legal process behind his appeal to overturn his double murder conviction. Central to his argument are bombshell allegations of jury tampering against former court clerk Becky Hill. We analyze Murdaugh's chilling first police interrogation from the crime scene, dissecting his eerily calm demeanor for signs of deception or shock. We also expose the botched investigation that nearly allowed him to walk free. Then, with expert legal commentary from former prosecutor Eric Faddis, we pivot to the Dan Markel murder case. We dissect the grounds for convicted killer Donna Adelson's appeal, including the explosive claim that a juror was posting on TikTok during the trial. Finally, we focus on the central figure who remains free: Wendi Adelson. We explore the evidence against her, debate her moral and legal culpability, and game out her potential future.

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.

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.

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
