Michael D. Fuller joins to talk about Hulu's Murdaugh: Death in the Family. The conversation digs into what scripted drama can do that true-crime podcasts and prosecutors can't, especially around messy motives and family dynamics that don't fit a neat trial narrative. Plus, an opening segment on Trump's "don't give up the ship" blowup, congressional warnings about illegal orders, and new allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered what may amount to a war crime at sea.

Alex Murdaugh was part of a South Carolina legal dynasty, but the attorney was hiding secrets. He had been embezzling from his family's law firm to maintain a lavish lifestyle and his addiction to pills. Things start to unravel when his younger son Paul is involved in a fatal boating accident. A reporter turns up evidence of suspicious deaths and apparent corruption by members of the Murdaugh family. As his marriage falls apart and a civil lawsuit will surely expose his financial crimes, Alex Murdaugh contemplates drastic measures to avoid the consequences. Hulu's “Murdaugh: Death in the Family” stars Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette. Adapted from the “Murdaugh Murders Podcast,” the miniseries focuses on Alex's financial scams, Maggie's unhappy marriage, Paul's boating crash, and Buster's connection to a cold case.

If you caught last week's interview with Stephanie Tinsley, you heard a compelling, second chapter creative journey in which she summons her inner strengths and plunges herself into the world of investigative podcasting. This week, we're presenting an episode of Everything They Missed, Stephanie Tinsley's gripping new true-crime podcast reexamining the 2007 murder of Danny Harris — a case officially closed, but full of unanswered questions. Episode 1, “Protocol,” exposes a disturbing crime scene, a baffling timeline, and an investigative response that feels far too casual. As Stephanie digs deeper, overlooked evidence and unheard voices suggest the truth may still be out there.Protocol | The First 48 Hours After Danny Harris's MurderDanny Harris, a father of four and military vet, is found murdered in his Tennessee apartment. The scene was savage: blood on the walls, air fresheners failing to hide the stench, a towel jammed so far down his throat it drove a tooth into his lung. His body, undiscovered, for two months. But the nightmare inside that room was only the start. Now, host Stephanie Tinsley pulls it apart piece by piece, asking the question many people would rather stay buried: Did Danny Harris get the justice he deserves?Episode 1, Protocol, follows the Memphis investigation from its first hours: evidence overlooked, leads opening and closing, and questions that would haunt the case for years. What investigators missed at the crime scene would shape everything that followed.Stephanie Tinsley is married to Mark Tinsley, the attorney who represented the family of Mallory Beach in the high-profile Murdaugh case. Living through one of the most sensational trials in recent history gave her a close view of how justice can falter. Today, she brings that perspective to investigating wrongful convictions and exposing the cracks in America's justice system.Listen to Everything They Missed—-------------------------------------------------------Clever is hosted & produced by Amy Devers, with editing by Mark Zurawinski, production assistance from Ilana Nevins and Anouchka Stephan, and music by El Ten Eleven.Special thanks to our sponsor!

Laura continues her conversation with award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney, creator of The Murdaugh Murders podcast and executive producer of Murdaugh: Death in the Family on Hulu, where they dive deeper into Alex Murdaugh's psychopathy and the spiders web of his coercive control. Laura and Mandy take a deeper look at the dynamics of the Murdaugh family and those within their inner circle - unpacking family and friend relationships, exploring signs of psychopathy, coercive control, and sexual coercion. Together, they explore the red flags, risk factors, and manipulation tactics that enable predators to operate undetected and the role that charm, influence, and privilege play in fooling those around them, and silencing victims. This powerful discussion exposes how coercive control manifests behind closed doors and how patterns of power, dominance, and entitlement escalate to murder. Listen, learn, and share. Understanding these behavioural patterns is essential to recognising risk and saving lives.

The death of 19-year-old nursing student Stephen Smith has haunted South Carolina for nearly a decade — but with new national attention from the Hulu Murdaugh series, the truth about what happened to him is finally back in the spotlight. In tonight's Hidden Killers deep-dive, Tony Brueski breaks down the real story behind the case: the strange crime scene, the contradictions in early investigative reports, the forensic inconsistencies that never should've been ignored, and the long-buried leads that investigators are only now pursuing. We walk through Stephen's final night, the discovery of his body on a remote rural road, and the major red flags that made troopers question the hit-and-run narrative from day one. We also address — directly and responsibly — the long-circulating rumors involving the Murdaugh name, explaining what was speculation, what investigators actually found, and why SLED says there is no evidence tying the family to Stephen's death. More importantly, we highlight the real investigative leads resurfacing today: individuals who made suspicious statements in 2015, inconsistencies in witness accounts, and the newly reclassified finding that Stephen's death was a homicide, not an accident. With a grand jury working behind the scenes and national pressure mounting, the case is closer to answers than it has ever been. Stephen Smith was more than a rumor in a small Southern county. He was a son, a brother, a friend — a teenager with dreams of becoming a nurse — and someone out there knows exactly what happened to him. If you're here for real reporting, grounded analysis, and a breakdown that cuts through the noise, you're in the right place.

In the noise, chaos, and courtroom spectacle of the Murdaugh murders, one voice was never fully heard — and it may be the one that changes how you see this case forever. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson, the Murdaugh family's longtime housekeeper, has now broken her silence in a memoir packed with the kind of details only someone inside that home could recognize. And one revelation stands above the rest: Blanca does not believe Alex acted alone. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we go deep into Blanca's account — not the sanitized version from trial clips or headlines, but the raw observations she lived through the morning after Maggie and Paul were killed. She walks into Moselle expecting grief and chaos. Instead, she finds staging. She finds inconsistencies. She finds details so off-pattern that her instincts, built from fourteen years of working inside that home, start screaming that something else happened here — something larger than the state ever pursued. We explore every anomaly Blanca describes: Maggie's SUV parked in a place she never parked. Pajamas and underwear laid out in a way Maggie would never prepare them. A kitchen “cleaned” in a way that didn't match her routines. And later, the infamous Edisto beach towel Blanca had washed that morning — suddenly appearing in Alex's Suburban on police body cam, then vanishing for good. Then there's the chilling image she shares of an unfamiliar woman walking through the property after the funerals as if she owned the place. And perhaps most disturbing of all, the fact that Blanca says law enforcement never interviewed her — the one person who understood the difference between routine and staging. In Blanca's eyes, the murders had one gunman, but the aftermath had more than one set of hands. If you think you already know this case, you need to hear this. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #Murdaugh #AlexMurdaugh #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #TrueCrime #BlancaSimpson #Moselle #CrimeDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Stephanie Tinsley created the true crime podcast, Everything They Missed. It is about the 2007 savage murder of Danny Harris in Memphis, a father of four, two of them Memphis police officers. Mr. Harris's body was left unnoticed and decomposing in his home for 2 months. The case was closed suspiciously and within 48 hours, police zeroed in on a 24-year-old black man, Andrew Hayes with a 3rd grade level IQ, who had never met the victim. After a 27-hour unrecorded interrogation, Andrew confessed. The Tennessee Innocence Project now calls that confession false, but for 18 years, Andrew has remained in prison. Tinsley's show uncovered new evidence that may exonerate the man. Stephanie is married to attorney Mark Tinsley. Mark's name is familiar to Impact listeners due to his involvement with the Alex Murdaugh trial and the Scott Spivey case. Stephanie discusses the Hulu Murdaugh special.

In this remastered episode from November 2022, we examine the constantly shifting alibi that Alex Murdaugh's defense team presented in the weeks before his murder trial. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down how Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin manipulated media coverage through strategically timed motions and carefully worded statements that technically told the truth while omitting crucial context. This episode also reveals the five key elements of a Murdaugh defense motion and shows how the defense team planted seeds of doubt through confusing exhibits and sensational headlines. Plus we reflect on what we now know after Alex's conviction, this episode serves as a masterclass in media literacy and the importance of scrutinizing sources—especially when they have a history of misleading the public.

In the noise, chaos, and courtroom spectacle of the Murdaugh murders, one voice was never fully heard — and it may be the one that changes how you see this case forever. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson, the Murdaugh family's longtime housekeeper, has now broken her silence in a memoir packed with the kind of details only someone inside that home could recognize. And one revelation stands above the rest: Blanca does not believe Alex acted alone. Tonight on Hidden Killers, we go deep into Blanca's account — not the sanitized version from trial clips or headlines, but the raw observations she lived through the morning after Maggie and Paul were killed. She walks into Moselle expecting grief and chaos. Instead, she finds staging. She finds inconsistencies. She finds details so off-pattern that her instincts, built from fourteen years of working inside that home, start screaming that something else happened here — something larger than the state ever pursued. We explore every anomaly Blanca describes: Maggie's SUV parked in a place she never parked. Pajamas and underwear laid out in a way Maggie would never prepare them. A kitchen “cleaned” in a way that didn't match her routines. And later, the infamous Edisto beach towel Blanca had washed that morning — suddenly appearing in Alex's Suburban on police body cam, then vanishing for good. Then there's the chilling image she shares of an unfamiliar woman walking through the property after the funerals as if she owned the place. And perhaps most disturbing of all, the fact that Blanca says law enforcement never interviewed her — the one person who understood the difference between routine and staging. In Blanca's eyes, the murders had one gunman, but the aftermath had more than one set of hands. If you think you already know this case, you need to hear this. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #Murdaugh #AlexMurdaugh #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #TrueCrime #BlancaSimpson #Moselle #CrimeDocumentary Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Murdaugh story isn't over. Not even close. Three final filings now sit before the South Carolina Supreme Court, and each tells a completely different story about justice. On one side, prosecutors insist Alex Murdaugh's guilt was “obvious,” pointing to the kennel-video timeline, his own lies, and what they call an avalanche of proof. On the other, Murdaugh's defense claims his 2023 double-murder trial was corrupted from within—tainted by a courthouse clerk who allegedly coached jurors, buried forensic failures, and let weeks of unrelated financial crimes turn into character assassination. In this in-depth Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski digs into the final battle lines: – How a single juror's affidavit about Becky Hill's alleged influence could rewrite one of the nation's most famous verdicts. – Why the defense argues South Carolina's justice system “bent the rules” to deliver a result the public demanded. – How the state counters that the evidence was overwhelming and that any missteps were harmless. – What happens next if the Supreme Court agrees—or refuses—to reopen the case. This isn't just a fight over one man's fate; it's a test of whether South Carolina's courts can admit their own cracks without collapsing. You can think Alex Murdaugh is guilty and still wonder if the system went too far to make sure the story ended neatly. Join us as we unpack the final chapter—unless, of course, it's just the beginning. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #TrueCrime #SouthCarolina #JusticeSystem #CourtroomDrama #MurdaughMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inside the walls of the Moselle home, long before the murders, long before the trial, and long before the world knew the Murdaugh name for what it would become, there was one person who witnessed the daily reality of this family — the routines, the habits, the private moments, and the small details that never make it into headlines. Her name is Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson, and in her new memoir, she finally lays out the pieces of the puzzle that only someone inside that house could ever truly see. In today's Hidden Killers deep-dive, Tony Brueski breaks down Blanca's revelations with the intensity they deserve. From the morning-after staging she immediately recognized as “wrong,” to the clothing inconsistencies Alex tried to rewrite in her memory, to the infamous Edisto beach towel she washed that morning and later saw in his Suburban on police body cam — this isn't just another perspective. It's a firsthand account that directly challenges the story Alex Murdaugh spent years trying to sell. We explore why Blanca held onto her belief in Alex's innocence far longer than most. We walk through the chilling moment that finally shattered that belief. And we dig into the emotional betrayal threaded through her unsent letter — a private message never meant to be public, now revealing what it feels like when someone you trusted manipulates you into playing a role in their cover-up. This episode isn't about theory. It's about the truth of lived experience — the kind of truth that can only come from the person who folded the laundry, straightened the collars, cooked the meals, and knew the difference between the way something should look and the way someone wanted it to look after a crime. If you've followed the Murdaugh case, you've never heard this story like this before. And if you thought the verdict was the whole story… you may want to listen all the way to the end. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #MurdaughCase #AlexMurdaugh #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #TrueCrime #BlancaSimpson #Moselle #CrimeInvestigation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Alex Murdaugh case has reached its most critical moment yet: the South Carolina Supreme Court is now reviewing the final filings in his appeal, and both sides are delivering a completely opposite narrative of what happened in that courtroom. One side says the evidence was overwhelming. The other says the process was broken. The justices now have to decide which matters more. In this new Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and legal analyst Eric Faddis examine whether the verdict was powered by solid facts or by a trial that couldn't withstand its own chaos. The prosecution argues everything lines up: Murdaugh's voice on the kennel video, his shifting accounts, his financial world collapsing around him — all pointing toward guilt. The defense counters with accusations that the trial was tainted from the inside: Clerk of Court Becky Hill's alleged comments to jurors, untested DNA, missing forensic work, and a flood of financial testimony they say “poisoned the pool” long before the jury deliberated. Tony and Eric explore what appellate courts really evaluate — not guilt or innocence, but integrity. Did the clerk's alleged words create prejudice? Were the financial crimes allowed to overwhelm the murder evidence? When does “harmless error” become harmful? And how much does media pressure play into what judges are willing to overturn? Beyond Murdaugh, the episode asks a larger question: What happens when a justice system has to evaluate itself? If the verdict stands, does that restore confidence — or just protect an institution's reputation? And if a new trial is ordered, does the public view it as fairness or failure? This appeal will define not just Alex Murdaugh's future, but how the public sees the courts moving forward. #HiddenKillers #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrime #LegalBreakdown #TonyBrueski #MurdaughCase #SupremeCourtReview #EricFaddis #JusticeDebate #CourtAppeal Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The prosecution argues everything lines up: Murdaugh's voice on the kennel video, his shifting accounts, his financial world collapsing around him — all pointing toward guilt. The defense counters with accusations that the trial was tainted from the inside: Clerk of Court Becky Hill's alleged comments to jurors, untested DNA, missing forensic work, and a flood of financial testimony they say “poisoned the pool” long before the jury deliberated. Tony and Eric explore what appellate courts really evaluate — not guilt or innocence, but integrity. Did the clerk's alleged words create prejudice? Were the financial crimes allowed to overwhelm the murder evidence? When does “harmless error” become harmful? And how much does media pressure play into what judges are willing to overturn? Beyond Murdaugh, the episode asks a larger question: What happens when a justice system has to evaluate itself? If the verdict stands, does that restore confidence — or just protect an institution's reputation? And if a new trial is ordered, does the public view it as fairness or failure? This appeal will define not just Alex Murdaugh's future, but how the public sees the courts moving forward. #HiddenKillers #AlexMurdaugh #TrueCrime #LegalBreakdown #TonyBrueski #MurdaughCase #SupremeCourtReview #EricFaddis #JusticeDebate #CourtAppeal Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Alex Murdaugh case has reached its most critical moment yet: the South Carolina Supreme Court is now reviewing the final filings in his appeal, and both sides are delivering a completely opposite narrative of what happened in that courtroom.

In this remastered episode from August 2022, producer David Moses reflects on the chaotic period just after Alex Murdaugh was first charged with murdering Maggie and Paul. Looking back from November 2025, after Murdaugh's conviction and two life sentences plus the other 40+ years for financial crimes, Mandy examines how Harpootlian's strategy weaponized every procedural motion to create confusion and control headlines. The episode also marked an amazing milestone: the announcement of Luna Shark's collaboration with YouTuber Eric Allen Daume, who would later help us create the official podcast for Hulu's "Murdaugh: Death and the Family." This remaster proves that despite all the manufactured chaos, truth ultimately prevailed—sunlight really is the best disinfectant.Episode ReferencesSpecial thanks to Eric Alan Daume for capturing audio and video in support of this podcast.

Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction was supposed to be the end of the story — but now the outcome of his trial is under review at the South Carolina Supreme Court, and the spotlight isn't just on the evidence… it's on the courthouse itself. In today's Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski and former prosecutor/defense attorney Eric Faddis tackle the most explosive element of the appeal: allegations that Clerk of Court Becky Hill may have influenced the jury, urged a quick verdict, commented on Murdaugh's body language, and then wrote a book she financially benefited from. One juror claims Hill whispered, “Watch him… don't be fooled.” The state says it doesn't matter. The defense says it absolutely does. Tony and Eric take listeners inside the legal and psychological weight of jury influence: What happens when a court official speaks to a juror about the defendant? Can a juror truly “un-hear” a remark from someone in authority? And how should the justices interpret Hill's later criminal charges — irrelevant noise, or evidence of a compromised system? The episode also digs into the evidence battle the appeal now centers on. Was this a murder trial supported by overwhelming proof — or a character trial overloaded with financial-crime testimony unrelated to the shootings? Were missing DNA tests, uncollected fingerprints, and absent gunshot residue analysis harmless mistakes… or constitutional failures? And when the public already picked a side long before the verdict, how much pressure do the justices feel to either protect the system's credibility or correct its mistakes? This appeal isn't just about Alex Murdaugh's freedom. It's about whether the justice system can still be trusted to police itself — or whether the courtroom became a stage where fairness took a back seat to outcome. #AlexMurdaugh #BeckyHill #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #MurdaughAppeal #JusticeSystem #CourtIntegrity #EricFaddis #CrimeDiscussion Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's been nearly three years since Alex Murdaugh was convicted of murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul, a verdict that felt like the final chapter in a Southern empire built on generational power, corruption, and deceit. But now the case is back in the spotlight — because three final filings have landed in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court, and they paint two completely different realities about what happened inside that courtroom. In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski, Stacy Cole, and former prosecutor/defense attorney Eric Faddis dissect why this appeal matters far beyond whether Murdaugh pulled the trigger. The state insists the verdict is bulletproof: the kennel video placed him at the scene, his lies destroyed his credibility, and the motive was clear. Meanwhile, the defense argues the entire process was contaminated before it even began — with Clerk of Court Becky Hill allegedly influencing jurors, commenting on Murdaugh's demeanor, and later writing a book she financially benefited from. Add in untested DNA, missing gunshot residue analysis, and expert-pressure allegations, and the trial starts to look less like justice and more like a perfect storm of misconduct. Tony and Eric break down the real questions the Supreme Court must answer: Was the trial fair? Did the clerk's alleged comments prejudice the jury? Can a verdict stand if the process underneath it cracks? And what does it mean for public trust if a clerk who handled the jury is now facing her own criminal charges? From how jurors absorb financial-crime testimony, to whether “harmless error” can excuse missing forensic testing, to the psychology of high-profile verdicts and the pressure on courts to protect their own institutions — this episode asks whether justice was served, or simply performed. If the Court upholds the conviction, the case is over… until it isn't. If they grant a new trial, the system itself becomes the story. What do you think? Did the evidence overpower the errors — or did the errors overpower the verdict? #AlexMurdaugh #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #TrueCrime #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #CourtSystem #EricFaddis #LegalAnalysis #JusticeDebate Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Murdaugh story isn't over. Not even close. Three final filings now sit before the South Carolina Supreme Court, and each tells a completely different story about justice. On one side, prosecutors insist Alex Murdaugh's guilt was “obvious,” pointing to the kennel-video timeline, his own lies, and what they call an avalanche of proof. On the other, Murdaugh's defense claims his 2023 double-murder trial was corrupted from within—tainted by a courthouse clerk who allegedly coached jurors, buried forensic failures, and let weeks of unrelated financial crimes turn into character assassination. In this in-depth Hidden Killers breakdown, Tony Brueski digs into the final battle lines: – How a single juror's affidavit about Becky Hill's alleged influence could rewrite one of the nation's most famous verdicts. – Why the defense argues South Carolina's justice system “bent the rules” to deliver a result the public demanded. – How the state counters that the evidence was overwhelming and that any missteps were harmless. – What happens next if the Supreme Court agrees—or refuses—to reopen the case. This isn't just a fight over one man's fate; it's a test of whether South Carolina's courts can admit their own cracks without collapsing. You can think Alex Murdaugh is guilty and still wonder if the system went too far to make sure the story ended neatly. Join us as we unpack the final chapter—unless, of course, it's just the beginning. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #TrueCrime #SouthCarolina #JusticeSystem #CourtroomDrama #MurdaughMurders Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On the remastered 11th episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney revisits the chaotic days following Alex Murdaugh's alleged roadside shooting — a moment that exposed the cracks in the powerful lawyer's web of lies and manipulation.Through exclusive reporting and sharp skepticism, Mandy questions whether the “suicide-for-hire” story ever made sense, unraveling contradictions between what Alex's attorneys claimed and what evidence actually showed.This episode also captures how media outlets were misled by Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin's PR spin — and why challenging their narrative became a defining moment for independent journalism.Revisiting this episode now, it's clear this was when the Murdaugh myth began to crumble publicly, revealing not only a desperate man but a culture (and legacy media) that long protected him.Episode References“Accused of misappropriation of funds, Alex Murdaugh resigns from law firm and enters rehab” - Hampton County Guardian, Updated Sept 7, 2021“Lawyer Shot After Wife and Son Were Killed Had Been Pushed Out of Law Firm” - New York Times, Sept 6, 2021
In Broken Trust and the Unseen Villains, journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney revisit one of the most emotionally charged and revealing chapters in the Murdaugh saga. Recorded during the heated birth of the Beach Family / Mark Tinsley / Parker's Kitchen civil conspiracy battle (which is still not adjudicated as of November 2025), this episode exposed the powerful network of influence working to silence victims and harass those who sought the truth. Mandy and Liz reflect on the online trolling, intimidation tactics, alleged ethical breaches, and those who seemed to target Mandy and Liz for reporting the truth — and how empathy from listeners countered the cruelty. On this 57th episode we dissected revelations about Greg Parker's private investigators, the Wall Street Journal's coverage, and the media manipulation at play. This episode highlights unseen cost of telling the truth in a state where power and privilege remain deeply entwined.“A Convenience-Store Magnate, Teen Drinking and a Fatal Boat Crash: The Legal Case Shaking South Carolina” - Wall Street Journal, Aug 13, 2022
Originally released in April 2022, Who Killed Maggie & Paul? Part Three marked a critical point in the Murdaugh Murders investigation.In this episode, journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney reveal the first major breakthrough: physical evidence linking Alex Murdaugh directly to the Moselle crime scene through high-velocity impact spatter found on his shirt. The team unpacked how this discovery—and Alex's shifting alibi—transformed public perception and intensified scrutiny of law enforcement's handling of the case. The episode also connected the dots between Alex's crumbling finances, the upcoming Beach lawsuit hearing, and the mounting pressure that preceded the murders. This remastered edition revisits that pivotal reporting, pairing sharp analysis with haunting 911 call audio and expert forensic insight. It captures the moment when rumor gave way to reality—and the truth about the Murdaugh family's empire of deceit began to unravel in full view of the world. “FOX Carolina's exclusive interview with Murdaugh attorney Jim Griffin: Part One” - Fox Carolina, Oct 12, 2021
Originally released in June 8, 2022, Means, Motive & Opportunity: Who Killed Maggie & Paul? Part Four marks the moment when journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney pieced together the strongest early case against Alex Murdaugh using credible inside sources and relentless investigation.This episode details the mounting forensic and circumstantial evidence — including video placing Alex at the crime scene, financial pressures closing in, and the unraveling power networks that long protected the Murdaugh family.With trademark precision, the journalists break down how opportunity, motive, and means collided on June 7, 2021, leading to two brutal murders that shook South Carolina.2025 Mandy and Liz also talk about the emotional toll of reporting under immense pressure, the public backlash they endured, and how truth-telling in a climate of corruption became both their calling and their survival.
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.
