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.)
Season 2 of Unsolved South Carolina's Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery podcast begins with an exclusive interview of a private investigator whose identity was revealed just weeks ago in bombshell new revelations tied to the ongoing Murdaugh saga.
Sarah Capelli is a private detective who's been ordered by a judge to turn over records detailing her work following Paul Murdaugh and his friends in the months before Paul and his mother, Maggie, were murdered.
Those records include undercover videos and GPS tracking data Capelli gathered in her surveillance of Paul.
Capelli says she's happy to turn over everything, and is adamant all her work was on the up-and-up and above reproach from an ethics standpoint.
But that's contrary to the allegations of Mark Tinsley, the attorney for the family of Mallory Beach.
Tinsley and the Beach family have sued convenience store franchise magnate Greg Parker over what Tinsley describes as a ruthless, intentional mudslinging campaign carried out in the public eye.
That lawsuit has come to head with Parker's attorneys battling Tinsley tooth-and-nail over documents and records he's subpoenaed such as those of Capelli, which Tinsley feels may prove his accusations against Parker.
In the meantime, state police investigators have sought Capelli's videos and evidence in pursuit of a clue that might help them answer the burning question 10 months in the making: Who killed Maggie and Paul Murdaugh?
