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. Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Now they cover true crime past and present from the southeast region of the U.S. Impact of Influence is part of the Evergreen Podcast Company. Look for Impact of Influence on Facebook and Youtube.

The Hulu's series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family' has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh's behaviour with forensic precision. Don't forget to listen to the new episodes with Mandy Matney and creators of the show, starting from Ep 285 and join in for additional episodes and interviews with Mandy Matney and others in the Crime Analyst Squad: patreon.com/CrimeAnalyst ****** On June 7, 2021, 52-year-old Margaret ‘Maggie' and her 22-year-old son, Paul, were shot dead at Moselle, the family's 1770-acre estate in the small town of Islandton, South Carolina. Alex Murdaugh was recently convicted of their murders after a six-week trial.

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?

Laura is joined by award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney, creator of The Murdaugh Murders podcast and executive producer of Murdaugh: Death in the Family, on Hulu. Laura and Mandy discuss the Murdaugh case, Mandy's experience reporting on the powerful Murdaugh dynasty, and the new TV show. Laura and Mandy also explore how coercive control operates behind closed doors and how the risk to women dramatically increases when they try to leave an abuser. Together, Laura and Mandy examine the broader patterns of power, privilege, and control that enabled years of abuse and the courage it takes to expose them.

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 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?

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?

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?

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.

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?

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?

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.

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?

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?

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?

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?

Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh — the disgraced South Carolina lawyer serving life in prison for killing his wife Maggie and son Paul — has decided to issue a statement from behind bars attacking Hulu's new true-crime series about his case. In the letter, Murdaugh claims the show contains “numerous inaccuracies” and “misleading portrayals,” even going so far as to say it “totally mischaracterizes his relationships” with the very people he murdered. He accuses Hulu of failing to reach out to him, his attorneys, or his surviving son Buster before releasing the series — as if that somehow invalidates decades of documented lies, theft, and manipulation. In this episode, Tony Brueski rips apart Murdaugh's delusional statement line by line — exposing the narcissism, denial, and moral rot that have defined every chapter of this man's life. From stealing millions from clients, to staging his own suicide for an insurance scam, to the brutal murders at Moselle, Alex Murdaugh's downfall is a masterclass in arrogance. Now, from prison, he's worried about how Hulu portrayed him? The audacity is staggering — and we're breaking down every word of it.
