Summary

The Plyler sisters were just little girls when Alex Murdaugh and Russell Laffitte entered their world. Now, more than 15 years later, they are discovering all the ways these two men (allegedly) secretly enriched themselves off their settlement money. We talk with Alania Plyler about what it was like having Russell Laffitte as her conservator and the betrayal she now feels knowing what he was doing the entire time. Plus legal analysis on what duties a conservator is supposed to perform from Eric Bland. The Murdaugh Murders Podcast is created by Mandy Matney and Luna Shark Productions.

0:36.0	This is the Murdoch Murdoch podcast with David Moses and Liz Farrell.
0:53.3	Until recently, not much was known about the Plylar case.
0:56.7	When the shocking details of the Satterfield case began to emerge last fall, several former
1:02.0	clients of Elik Murdoch started to come forward, but the Plylar sisters were not among them.

1:29.1	and there were more than 2,000 pages of probate court filings related to their case, which
1:33.8	made it vastly different from the Satterfield case, in which there was, as you guys know,
1:39.6	a single piece of paper filed with the court.
1:42.7	But also, there were more than 2,000 pages of probate court filings related to their case.
