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.   Join in for Laura’s new insights in this remastered series. *** Laura continues to highlight and analyse key events in the macro timeline including Murdaugh’s public statement which he released via his lawyer, Dick Harpootlian, on September 6th stating that that he was stepping down from PMPED and was entering rehab for his opiate addiction. Laura examines the evidence to support Murdaugh’s claim of being a drug addict and that he lied due to his so-called ‘drug fuelled paranoia.’ Laura also analyses Murdaugh’s second statement that he made to SLED with his lawyers Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin present on September 13th about the September 4 so-called roadside shooting and compares it to Curtis Eddie Smith’s statement. Laura details the mounting financial charges against Murdaugh and his legal teams’ desperate attempts to control the narrative.
