Summary

Laura continues her conversation with award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney, creator of The Murdaugh Murders podcast and executive producer of Murdaugh: Death in the Family on Hulu, where they dive deeper into Alex Murdaugh’s psychopathy and the spiders web of his coercive control. Laura and Mandy take a deeper look at the dynamics of the Murdaugh family and those within their inner circle - unpacking family and friend relationships, exploring signs of psychopathy, coercive control, and sexual coercion. Together, they explore the red flags, risk factors, and manipulation tactics that enable predators to operate undetected and the role that charm, influence, and privilege play in fooling those around them, and silencing victims. This powerful discussion exposes how coercive control manifests behind closed doors and how patterns of power, dominance, and entitlement escalate to murder. Listen, learn, and share. Understanding these behavioural patterns is essential to recognising risk and saving lives.
