The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery is a podcast detailing the horrific and devious crimes committed by Alex Murdaugh, a hotshot personal injury lawyer and heir to a powerful South Carolina legal dynasty. Murdaugh was convicted in 2023 of murdering his own wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, in the a sickening culmination to a brazen white-collar fraud scheme run amok.
Prosecutors successfully argued the ruthless killings were Murdaugh's desperate, egregious ploy to avoid impending ruin after stealing over $10 million from his often destitute and disabled clients, along with the partners in his family's namesake law firm.
After a fatal boat crash involving his spoiled son all but assured Murdaugh's treachery would come to light, he concocted a brutal ruse aimed at shielding himself from scrutiny long enough to cover his tracks and preserve his family's legacy — and wealth. In the end, he failed at both.
Join host Anne Emerson, producer Drew Tripp and legal analyst Charlie Condon (former South Carolina Attorney General) as they navigate the complicated legal twists and stunning interpersonal dramas of this saga, which traces back to the turn of the 20th century and continues to develop.
(The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery is a Criminally Obsessed audio original, produced beginning in 2021 in partnership with WCIV-TV ABC News 4 in Charleston.)
A whirlwind day in the Alex Murdaugh murder trial sees Murdaugh potentially poking massive holes in his own alibi through contradictions in a second law enforcement interview recorded only days after the murders. Whatever happened to those other .300 Blackout rifles? Then a potentially high-stakes "Yanny or Laurel?" moment with dire consequences. Did Alex say "I" or "They?" Plus, the defense takes the state's expert witness on forensic evidence to task for apparent mishandling of the crime scene. Finally, what's the deal with that Gucci receipt?
Join Anne, Charlie and Drew for a breakdown of what may be the wildest day of the Murdaugh murder trial so far.
