Summary

It’s a surreal week for us at True Sunlight and LUNASHARK. On October 15th, the story that began here as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast will premiere worldwide as Murdaugh: Death in the Family on Hulu and Disney+. Seeing Mallory, Gloria,, Stephen, Maggie and Paul’s stories honored on screen is bittersweet — a reminder of the victims at the heart of all of this. While that project brings global attention to systemic corruption in South Carolina, we remain deeply rooted in the work of uncovering the truth. Thanks to Liz Farrell’s intrepid reporting, Mandy Matney and Liz and review the 18-minute interview Horry County Police Department had with North Myrtle Beach businessman Weldon Boyd, who — along with his friend Bradley Williams — shot and killed 33-year-old Scott Spivey on Sept. 9, 2023, in Loris, South Carolina. Despite inconsistencies between Weldon’s 911 call (that they listened to as a group before Weldon was read his rights) the lead investigator in the case, Alan Jones, showed no interest in getting to the bottom of what actually happened that night with Scott. It is yet another example of Horry County Police doing their best to protect Weldon Boyd from being criminally charged in and civilly liable for Scott’s death. So much to cover, so let’s dive in! 🥽🦈 Episode References “First look at Murdaugh: Death In the Family shows Patricia Arquette in true crime 'cautionary tale' (exclusive)” - Entertainment Weekly, Sept 3, 2025📣 Follow Murdaugh: Death in the Family’s Instagram page ⬅️ See how Mandy & Liz reacted to Entertainment Weekly’s big announcement! 🎉 “Horry County Officer Writes "ACT LIKE A VICTIM - CAMERA" On Note To Homicide Suspects” Video 🎞️ Referenced Past Episodes: TSP 113 🎧 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Learn more about Premium Membership at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lunashark.supercast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get bonus episodes like our Premium Dives, Corruption Watchlist, Girl Talk, and Soundbites that help you Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight Here's a link to some of our favorite things: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/4cJ0eVn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** ALERT: If you ever notice audio errors in the pod, email ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and we'll send fun merch to the first listener that finds something that needs to be adjusted! *** For current & accurate updates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lunashark.supercast.com⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram.com/mandy_matney⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram.com/elizfarrell⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bsky.app/profile/mandy-matney.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠bsky.app/profile/elizfarrell.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TrueSunlight.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠facebook.com/TrueSunlightPodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram.com/TrueSunlightPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/@LunaSharkMedia⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	I don't know how the ORI County police officers who interviewed Weldon Boyd on the night of Scott Spivey's death can still call themselves cops.
0:13.7	But y'all, this interview is one of the most stunning examples of police incompetence slash corruption that we have ever seen. And I hope that this
0:24.0	podcast exposes the disgusting malpractice that took place in this investigation and leads to
0:31.5	accountability and change. My name is Mandy Matney.
0:39.0	This is True Sunlight, a podcast exposing crime and corruption, previously known as the Murdoch Murders podcast, which inspired Hulu's original series Murdoch, Death and the Family, premiering on October 15th on Hulu and Disney Plus. True Sunlight is a
0:56.6	Luna Shark production written with journalist Liz Farrell.
1:04.0	Hello and happy Thursday from Hollywood, California. If you follow us on social media,
1:10.0	I'm sure you heard the news, but I want to repeat it again.

1:37.8	in the description and be prepared to be mesmerized by images showing Jason Clark's scarily stunning transformation into
1:46.2	Elyke Murdoch, Patricia Arquette as Maggie Murdoch, Johnny Burchtold as Paul Murdoch,
1:52.3	Will Harrison as Buster Murdoch, and Britney Snow as well, me. Wow, that is still wild to say.
2:00.0	The Entertainment Weekly Story in The Link features quotes from our showrunner, South
2:04.7	Carolina native Michael D. Fuller. In the star of the show, Patricia Arquette, honestly,
2:10.0	I loved every word of this article, but I want to have David read two of my favorite parts
2:15.4	to give y'all a feel for what the show will really be like
2:18.6	and one it won't.
2:21.1	Co-creator and showrunner Michael D. Fuller grew up about an hour away from where the powerful
2:26.8	Murdoch family lived. So he, quote, felt a sense of duty and responsibility, end quote,
