S19 Ep21: Alex Murdaugh's New Murder Trial

About this episode

This episode reflects on the complex and tragic story of Alex Murdaugh and his family's involvement in a series of murders and legal scandals.

In this episode, we reflect on the most unbelievable story of Alex Murdaugh and the powerful Southern family that seemed untouchable for generations. From wealth, influence and small-town the Murdaugh story has every twist imaginable. We talk about the death of the family housekeeper Gloria Satterfield, the fatal boat crash involving Alex’s son Paul, the murders of Maggie and Paul at the family’s Moselle estate, and the kennel video that became the key piece of evidence in the case. We also explore Alex’s double life, a respected lawyer on the outside while secretly stealing millions from clients behind the scenes, and how the collapse of one of South Carolina’s most influential families became one of the biggest true crime cases in the world.
