Summary

A man described as a “budding serial killer” was placed in a state-approved mental health residential care home in Columbia, South Carolina, where he allegedly killed and cannibalized two individuals over a five-month period. The accused consumed the ears of both victims and drank one victim’s blood. Jared Ondrea was the first victim. Attorneys Joe McCulloch, and Dick Harpootlian filed lawsuits on behalf of Peggy Ondrea, the grandmother of Jared. In this interview, McCulloch and Harpootlian lay out why this tragedy should never have happened and who all was responsible. This is part one of an interview with McCulloch and Harpootlian. In episode two, Harpootlian discusses his new book about South Carolina serial killer, Pee Wee Gaskins and talks about the chance of Alex Murdaugh getting a new trail for the murders of his wife and son. Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.
