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.)
