Investigative journalist Mandy Matney looks back at the Murdaugh family's involvement in the 2019 boat crash on Archers Creek near Parris Island that killed Mallory Beach and the subsequent investigation. She shares the challenges she faced while investigating the Mallory Beach case, expresses suspicion over missing evidence, and emphasizes the importance of persistence and listening to sources in investigative reporting. On this episode, we dive into dash cam videos and depositions, that suggest a potential cover-up by law enforcement and the Murdaugh family. Paul Murdaugh's blood test revealed he was 3.5 times over the legal limit. Anthony Cook, a passenger, identified Paul as the driver, but this was not reflected in official reports. The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office and SC DNR's initial handling of the case is criticized for bias. Matney also mentions ongoing legal actions and the impact of the Murdaugh family's influence on the criminal justice system.Lots to cover, so 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.

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.

Jenn Wood of FITSNews joins the podcast to talk about previously unseen text messages she discovered tied to Alex Murdaugh's 2023 double homicide trial, in which he was convicted of murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul. The uncovered texts were between Murdaugh and his alleged drug dealer, Curtis “Eddie” Smith, whom the defense suggested as an alternative suspect. Murdaugh is currently appealing those convictions – and the life sentence he received for them – on multiple grounds, including documented jury tampering (and alleged jury rigging).

In February, SC US Representative, Nancy Mace gave a 53 minute speech on the House floor that accused four men of terrible crimes against women. All the men of denied the accusations and none have been charged with the crimes. Mace accused SC AG and Gubernatorial candidate, Alan Wilson, of not doing his job to protect women from men like those she accused. The U.S. Constitution has some legal protection from anything they say on the floor. However; questions remain if those same protections can be used if the accusations are made on social media or elsewhere outside the floor. Fallout From Mace's speech causing lawsuits to mount.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland —talk about the retrial of murder suspect Michael Colucci, who is accused of strangling his wife Sara-Lynn Moore Colucci 10 years ago in Summerville, South Carolina, and how the age and health of his high-profile (and high-cost) attorney contributed to the constant trial delays. Is this yet another trick of the defense attorney trade in South Carolina? Leveraging an attorney's health in court to benefit defendants … and further hurt victims? Also on the show it's been four years since Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife and son … and why phrasing it that way matters. Plus churchy business bro “Pastor” JP Miller marries his alleged longtime mistress Suzie Skinner in a highly public (but still dumpy) beach ceremony. There's a lot to say there. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Colleton County man goes to trial, accused of setting wife on fire, killing her” - Live5, Nov 4, 2024

Becky Hill, the former Colleton County clerk of court, was arrested and charged with obstructing justice and misconduct in Colleton County and perjury in Richland County. The perjury charge stems from her testimony in a January 2024 hearing into whether Alex Murdaugh would get a new trial based on Hill's alleged jury tampering. Justice Toal ruled that Murdaugh should not get a new trial. Murdaugh's defense team has appealed that decision to the SC State Supreme Court.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and the whole LUNASHARK team — are celebrating 100 episodes of True Sunlight Podcast, the show that emerged from their relentless pursuit of justice in the highly acclaimed Murdaugh Murders Podcast (which, of course, is the basis for the star-studded Hulu scripted series currently filming in Atlanta). What better way to celebrate two years of post-Murdaugh reporting than with an old throwback … breaking Murdaugh news on a Wednesday! Former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill was arrested and charged with four felony counts — two misconduct in office charges, an obstruction of justice charge and perjury. Though three of the charges are related to Alex Murdaugh's murder trial they are NOT related to Dick and Jim's claims of jury-tampering. Two of the charges are specifically related to photos of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's dead bodies, which were allegedly leaked to a "news" agency during the trial and later distributed to random people following the Murdaugh case. Hmmm... But will these charges affect Alex's chances at getting a new trial? Also on the show, an update in the (18:49) Jane Doe lawsuits against Myrtle Beach “pastor” John-Paul Miller. Plus, our continuing coverage of (34:17) the Weldon Boyd Calls. From the second North Myrtle Beach businessman opened his truck door after shooting 33-year-old Scott Spivey of Tabor City, North Carolina, to death in September 2023, Boyd began his search for the perfect narrative — one that would explain his presence on Camp Swamp Road and fit the definition of the Stand Your Ground law; that would explain why Scott was shot to death in the back and in his truck; one that integrated the emerging bits of information Weldon appeared to be getting from the shadows of the so-called investigation by Horry County Police Department. Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Asha Degree was just nine years old when she disappeared from her home in Shelby, North Carolina, more than 25 years ago. Since then, various law enforcement agencies, including local, state, and federal authorities, have been working to solve the case. In the past few months there appears to have been some movement in the case. In this episode we hear from the hosts of the podcast Crackhouse Chronicles https://www.crackhousechronicles.com/ . Donnie Peeler and Dale Champion, have been involved in the case of Asha Degree since her disappearance in 2000. They have done many episodes on the case since starting their podcast and have a unique vantage point due to the fact they are from Asha's hometown of Shelby, NC. In September 2024, several search warrants were executed by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office, as part of an investigation into the connection between Asha's disappearance and a local family. These warrants named the Dedmon family members—Roy Dedmon, his wife Connie Dedmon, and their three daughters: AnnaLee Dedmon Ramirez, Lizzie Dedmon Foster, and Sarah Dedmon Caple. It was during the execution of these search warrants that investigators publicly announced for the first time that they believed Asha Degree had been murdered. Additionally, authorities suggested that the Dedmon sisters might have had a role in the suspected crime. However, the Dedmon family has consistently denied any involvement in the disappearance of Asha Degree. In February 2025, WBTV obtained three new search warrants related to the ongoing investigation. These warrants were executed on February 13, 2025, as part of the continuing effort to uncover the truth. A new witness has come forward, claiming to have heard a confession related to the case. At the time Asha disappeared, Lizzie Foster was 16 years old, and Sarah Dedmon Caple was 15. The witness stated that he had socialized with the Dedmon sisters at various bars and house parties in the mid-2000s. He alleged that during one particular house party, he overheard Foster confess something related to Asha's disappearance. Seton, Matt and the Crackhouse Chronicle guys break down the entire Asha Degree story and the latest information.

On the night of February 24, 2019, a boating trip turned deadly when a boat owned by Alex Murdaugh—a powerful South Carolina attorney—crashed into a bridge, throwing 19-year-old Mallory Beach into the dark waters of Archer's Creek. What seemed like a tragic accident soon unraveled into something much darker: a web of privilege, power, and an alleged cover-up designed to protect the Murdaugh family name. With Paul Murdaugh at the helm, intoxicated, reckless, and shielded by generations of influence, questions arose about who would be held accountable—and who would walk free.

Jaden's Law We talk to the mother of Jaden Phillips about a proposed legislation, bill H 3601, “Jaden's Law.” The bill is of great significance to Jaden's family after tragically losing their 19 year old son in a boating accident. “Jaden's Law” is designed to address critical gaps in the South Carolina's response system for boating accents. It would enact new requirements for 911 dispatchers to access injuries and the nature of the accident. Additionally, it would implement improvements on how law enforcement agencies are notified and work together to properly investigate accidents involving deaths and homicides.
