Murdaugh Murders Podcast

Murdaugh Murders Podcast

This feed is dedicated to the original 93 episodes of Murdaugh Murders Podcast with periodic updates from the True Sunlight Podcast as feed drops. Join us on the original MMP feed (https://staypes.ky/tsp) where journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue to fight for justice in this saga and others. For nearly 100 years, one family's legal dynasty traded influence and held power in the South Carolina lowcountry until a fatal boat crash involving an allegedly intoxicated heir-apparent shed sunlight on a true crime saga like no other. Fiercely independent journalist Mandy Matney has been investigating the Murdaugh family since that fateful February night in 2019. In 2021, the double homicides of Alex Murdaugh's son Paul Murdaugh and his wife Maggie Murdaugh launched this tangled web of crime and corruption into the international spotlight. The now-infamous Murdaugh name is attached to the tragic 2019 death of Mallory Beach for which Paul Murdaugh was indicted, a litany of financial crimes perpetrated against legal clients for which Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to 40 years in prison, the 2015 unsolved homicide of Stephen Smith, the 2018 death of Gloria Satterfield and stolen insurance settlements, a staged suicide-for-hire plot, countless civil lawsuits, horrendous lawyers, and convicted co-conspirators Cory Fleming and Russell Laffitte that pleaded guilty to helping Alex steal over $10,000,000+ from clients for years. While family patriarch Alex Murdaugh was convicted of Paul & Maggie’s murders in 2023, that conviction was overturned on appeal in 2026, and he awaits a new trial date to be scheduled as of June 2026. He remains in prison on state and federal financial crimes for which he pleaded guilty. Matney's podcast, ranked #1 globally in 2021 and 2023, provides unmatched insight into the horrific deaths, botched investigations and newly-uncovered crimes that are all interconnected. Every corner of the justice system seems to be connected to this vile web of deceit, murder and corruption. Later welcoming Co-host Liz Farrell, you’ll follow along in real time from South Carolina as their exclusive sources guide listeners on a journey to expose the truth wherever it leads.
