The Murdaugh family has long been a prominent name in the low country of South Carolina, with roots going back over a hundred years to Alex's great-grandfather, Randolph Murdaugh Sr. He founded his own law business in 1910, which later became the family law firm, PMPE, and in 1920, was elected as a solicitor for five counties in the low country. The family has always been deeply involved in the community, becoming "like the fabric of Hampton County and the other four counties," according to author John Glatt in an episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast hosted by Tony Brueski.    Glatt discussed how the Murdaughs would often help out people in the community who were in need, for example by contributing money to help families who had experienced a fire or illness. This, in turn, helped establish a special place for the Murdaughs in the community. However, he also noted that despite their public face as a philanthropic family, there were also darker aspects to the Murdaugh legacy. For example, Alex's grandfather, Buster Murdaugh, was arrested and went to trial in the mid-fifties for conspiracy to aid moonshiners, a case covered extensively in Glatt's book, "Tangled Vines". Although he was ultimately found not guilty, the sheriff indicted with him served time in prison. Moreover, there were allegations of bribery, and the judge expressed his disdain for how Buster Murdaugh had behaved.    Glatt also touched upon rumors that tied the Murdaughs to a big drug smuggling ring in the seventies, although this was never substantiated. Nevertheless, several of the Murdaughs' close friends were indicted in relation to this. Despite these allegations, Glatt noted that the community generally stood by the Murdaughs, seeing them as helping those in need during desperate times. However, there was also an element of fear, with people not wanting to cross the Murdaughs.    He provided an example of this by recounting the story of a sheriff who tried to get Buster Murdaugh indicted but ultimately ended up in jail himself. This sheriff had tried to make a deal by testifying against the Murdaughs, but it did not go as planned. Glatt indicated that this was an example of "Murdaugh justice", with money allegedly changing hands and bribes taking place even in the court where Murdaugh was prosecuting.    When Brueski asked how far the Murdaugh's influence reached beyond their law firm, Glatt explained that they especially controlled the police in the five counties of the low country, regularly holding social events attended by police chiefs, judges, and others, which helped them maintain close relationships and manipulate things to their advantage.    In conclusion, the Murdaugh family has long been a powerful force in the South Carolina low country, both for their philanthropy and the darker aspects of their legacy. The "Hidden Killers" podcast reveals that while they may have been revered and respected in the community, there was also a darker side to their influence, involving allegations of bribery, corruption, and manipulation of the legal system. It is clear that the Murdaugh family's legacy is one that is both complicated and controversial. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh found an unlikely mentor behind bars: a lifelong criminal. This surprising relationship is explored in John Glatt's new book, "Tangled Vines: Power, Privilege and the Murdaugh Family Murders." Glatt, a bestselling true-crime author, delves into the Murdaugh family's ascent to power, the double homicide that shocked the nation, and how the former attorney adapted to life in prison.    “We really hit it off, and I liked him,” Murdaugh was quoted as saying to his sister-in-law in 2022. “He was always in trouble with guns but laid-back and very jail-smart. He taught me a lot about being in here that helped me.”    This unusual mentorship forms a key aspect of Glatt's narrative. According to Glatt, the patriarch befriended a "hardened" criminal who had spent most of his life in prison. This unnamed lawbreaker became "a mentor for the former attorney and assistant solicitor."    Glatt reveals that the jailhouse calls he obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request made by another reporter were crucial to understanding Murdaugh's life behind bars.    “I listened to every one of those 200 calls,” Glatt explained. “... He didn't talk a lot about what happened, but he would talk about his life in prison. And it was amazing how he'd settled in. He was a gambler. He loved all the basketball games, especially the Gamecocks. He was a sports enthusiast. And that didn't change behind bars.”    Murdaugh was found guilty of murdering his wife and son, a crime allegedly committed to cover up his financial wrongdoings. Despite this, he seemed to adapt remarkably well to prison life, a transformation Glatt attributes to the guidance of his new mentor.    "He assimilated very easily into the jail system," he explained. "… He was a master manipulator, which you could hear from the jailhouse calls."    The mentor's influence is palpable in Murdaugh's activities behind bars. He made friends over poker and chess, but remained cautious "against a possible snitch." He also described befriending a confidante who did him favors in exchange for small bribes.    “It would amaze you, the trade system in here,” Murdaugh told his brother. “And how innovative these folks are and resourceful with so little. I'll have to tell you about it later and not on the phone because I know they listen to every single phone call I make.”    Murdaugh's jailhouse activities and the financial trades he engineered, Glatt notes, highlight his continued manipulation and cunning, traits that were likely honed under the guidance of his prison mentor.    Interestingly, despite the hundreds of recorded calls, Murdaugh never mentioned his late wife or son during his conversations, instead, he instructed his other son, Buster, to always put flowers on their graves.    Ultimately, Glatt's book offers a comprehensive and detailed account of the Murdaugh family saga, shedding light on new aspects of the story, including the surprising mentorship that Alex Murdaugh found behind bars.    "In summary, while the Murdaugh family may have appeared close and loving on paper, a hidden demon tore them apart," Glatt reflects. “I don't think there is any remorse at all,” he said. “During the trial, he always had a handkerchief totally at the ready to wipe his eyes when something gruesome or emotional came out. It was like he was playing to the jurors… He knows how to play the game in closing arguments and civil cases… He [thought] he could do that with this jury. And it rebounded on him... Of course, Alex has never admitted to killing them, and I'm sure he never will."    This riveting narrative, detailed in "Tangled Vines," showcases the Murdaugh family's journey from power to downfall, highlighting the unlikely relationship that helped Alex Murdaugh adapt to life behind bars.

On this episode, we talk with bestselling true crime author John Glatt about his book “Tangled Vines Power,Privilege and the Murdaugh Family Murders.” The author did a masterful job reconstructing the rise of theprestigious Murdaugh family and the shocking double murder that led to the downfall of its patriarch, AlexMurdaugh.Among the lush, tree-lined waterways of South Carolina low country, the Murdaugh name means power. Acentury-old, multimillion-dollar law practice has catapulted the family into incredible wealth and localcelebrity―but it was an unimaginable tragedy that would thrust them into the national spotlight. On June 7th,2021, prominent attorney Alex Murdaugh discovered the bodies of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, on thegrounds of their thousand-acre hunting lodge. The mystery deepened only months later when Alex himselfwas discovered shot in the head on a local roadside.But as authorities scrambled for clues and the community reeled from the loss and media attention, darksecrets about this Southern legal dynasty came to light. The Murdaughs, it turned out, were feared as muchas they were loved. And they wouldn't hesitate to wield their influence to protect one of their own; two yearsbefore he was killed, a highly intoxicated Paul Murdaugh was at the helm of a boat when it crashed and killeda teenage girl, and his light treatment by police led to speculation that privilege had come into play. Asbombshells of financial fraud were revealed and more suspicious deaths were linked to the Murdaughs, a newportrait of Alex Murdaugh emerged: a desperate man on the brink of ruin who would do anything, even planhis own death, to save his family's reputation.

Jill reviews Tangled Vines: Greed, Murder, Obsession, and an Arsonist in the Vineyards of California by Frances Dinkelspiel

These Tangled Vines: By Julianne MacClean “Wouldn't it be a dream to inherit a wine estate in Europe? That's what happens—most unexpectedly—to the character at the center of Julianne MacLean's latest. This introspective escapist story of tangled family secrets and the impact of our choices all set to the backdrop of a sprawling Tuscan winery will make you crave a glass of Chianti Classico and reflect on roads not traveled. Cin cin!” —Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names and The Winemaker's Wife “These Tangled Vines is a breathtaking novel that explores the complicated depths of the human heart when surprising family secrets are revealed. It's riveting, soulful, and deeply romantic—a beautiful heartbreaker. I couldn't put it down.” —Amanda Prowse, bestselling author of An Ordinary Life “Julianne MacLean's These Tangled Vines is an emotional tale of love, family, and forgiveness. It's both heartbreaking and hopeful; I felt for every one of these brave characters, rooting them on along the way.” —Rochelle B.

When host, Lou Zant, first moved to the California Wine Country, he came across a book called, Tangled Vines: Greed, Murder, Obsession and an Arsonist in the Vineyards of California. Lou absolutely devoured the book because Frances Dinkelspiel is a marvelous storyteller, but also, this book mixes the history of winemaking in California — and, one of the most outrageous wine crimes ever — with a very personal quest to find out if the loss of a priceless family heirloom can ever be truly reconciled. Then, after Meredith Griffin read the book, it was obvious that these two were going to need to talk about it with their listeners! And when Frances accepted our invitation to be on the Major Crush Podcast, it felt like one of the most incredible "gets" we've had so far! If you're looking for a book to immerse yourself in, or, if you are in a book club and searching for a story that will pair well with friends and the perfect glass of wine, Tangled Vines (https://francesdinkelspiel.com/) IS the book for you! We hope to share more stories from this fantastic author — and friend of the podcast — but for now, plan to lose yourself in a truly fascinating interview! CONTACT US: If you have questions or comments for Meredith and Lou, and you're listening on the Anchor App, you can send them to us directly.

Script Hi and welcome to Alternative Airwaves - I'm your host Steve, bringing you the best in Creative Commons music. This is the Weekly Airwave: one track with some information about the song or the artist. This week's track: Wild by The Rabbits. Wild is a quiet folk track from "Tall Pines and Tangled Vines", a 2018 debut LP by The Rabbits. The Rabbits hail from the UK, but are listed as Canadian on Jamendo - probably because they recorded their record at Orchid Studios in Vancouver, B-C - and they are also touring around Canada. Apparently they're doing this from a van they've been living in for almost a year. That's dedication to their music! Follow them on Jamendo or at the rabbits dot com.Be sure to check out alternative airwaves dot com for more podcasts and music reviews. See you next time.Support Alternative Airwaves by donating to their Tip Jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/alternative-airwaves
