Summary

When this episode first aired in November 2021, it marked a defining moment in the Murdaugh investigation — and in the evolution of The Murdaugh Murders Podcast. For the first time, journalist Liz Farrell joined Mandy Matney, transforming what had begun as a one-woman pursuit of truth into a powerhouse partnership built on trust, tenacity, and shared purpose. On Friday, November 19th, 2021 we learned that prosecutors issued 27 additional felony charges against Alex Murdaugh bringing the total possible jail time to over a hundreds years and our sources believe that could be just the beginning. In this special edition we'll review the 27 new counts and expand on the implications as we introduce our new partner in true crime. Liz was there when Mandy first discovered inconsistencies in the only document recorded in the Satterfield settlement which blew the lid off a saga like no other.You'll also hear a moment between Mandy and Eric Bland in which he explains all the dominos that had to fall in order for Murdaugh's litany of crimes to come to light.
