A Tragic Saga Like No Other
Award-winning journalist Mandy Matney has been investigating the Murdaugh family since that fateful night in 2019. The Murdaugh Murders Podcast was first published on June 22, 2021 as Matney pried deep into the crimes surrounding the Murdaugh family.
For nearly 100 years, one family 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.
The now-infamous Murdaugh family is at the center of a litany of criminal investigations into fraud, obstruction of justice, the 2021 double homicides of Paul Murdaugh and his mother Maggie, the 2015 murder of young Stephen Smith, the suicide-for-hire plot of family patriarch Alex Murdaugh (who has since been convicted of Paul & Maggie’s murders) and a vast insurance scheme that preyed on the region’s most vulnerable citizens.
Matney’s podcast, ranked #1 globally in 2021, 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. Now featuring 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.
