Summary

The Hulu’s series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh’s behaviour with forensic precision. Don’t forget to listen to the new episodes with Mandy Matney and creators of the show, starting from Ep 285 and join in for additional episodes and interviews with Mandy Matney and others in the Crime Analyst Squad: patreon.com/CrimeAnalyst ****** On June 7, 2021, 52-year-old Margaret ‘Maggie’ and her 22-year-old son, Paul, were shot dead at Moselle, the family’s 1770-acre estate in the small town of Islandton, South Carolina. Alex Murdaugh was recently convicted of their murders after a six-week trial. In this episode, Laura analyses the victimology, the Murdaugh family and the death of Mallory Beach in 2018, which is connected. Join Laura as she deconstructs the psychology, the behaviour and the power and control dynamics in this case, which is complex and seemingly never ending.
