Episode 123: The Murdaugh Family Murders
They say family secrets are like vampires - they never really die.
The Murdaugh family knows this better than anyone. For generations they were one of the most powerful, wealthiest, families in South Carolina.
But when those around them start mysteriously dying… and even two of their own end up dead.
You have to wonder - is someone finally getting their revenge on the untouchable family? An eye for an eye?
Or are the Murdaugh family secrets out for blood?

Podcast: “Murdaugh Murders” - by Mandy Matney
(I highly recommend following her podcast not only to get the deepest dive on this case out there, inside information, but also to get the newest breaking updates. She’s out here doing spectacular work and this minis ode wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work she puts into getting to the truth of this case.)
FITSNews (where Mandy is the editorial director) has also been leading the coverage on this case and I heavily relied on their articles for the sourcing of today’s episode.
