Above The Law? (S01E34)

Above The Law? (S01E34)

On Monday, Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin filed a federal lawsuit in an attempt to block Richland County from releasing more jailhouse calls through the Freedom of Information Act. In today’s episode, we tell you exactly why this case isn’t a typical true crime story and why Alex isn’t your typical (alleged) criminal. In this case, we’re dealing with a former public official and a whole lot of alleged public corruption.   As we peel back the layers of history in the Murdaugh family, We see that Alex and Paul Murdaugh’s misdeeds didn’t happen in a vacuum.  For decades, it appears like people have been looking the other way as the Murdaugh family’s unchecked power spun out of control.  See more videos on the Murdaugh Murders here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPC7aLBzSFHqIz_jDachzQA And a special thank you to our sponsors: Cerebral, Hunt-A-Killer, Bannon Law Group, Nature's Highway CBD, Embark Vet, VOURI, Hello Fresh and others.

Drug Smuggling And Operation Jackpot - What Happened To The Money? Part Two (S01E31)

Some of the biggest questions in this case revolve around the money — what happened to it? Why was Alex Murdaugh (allegedly) stealing it in the first place?  Does it have anything to do with the murders? To understand Alex Murdaugh’s ties to drug trafficking and find answers to the money questions— we need to look at a man who was a good friend of the family. A man named Barrett T. Boulware.  In this episode, you’ll hear about the Murdaugh family’s ties to alleged drug smugglers and look at how this plays into the big picture.  Check out a video explanation of the Murdaugh / Boulware properties we discuss in this episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StHXgB0oSoQ Research in this podcast was provided by Will Folks And Jenn Wood.  See more videos on the Murdaugh Murders here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPC7aLBzSFHqIz_jDachzQA We want to learn more about you - please click here to fill out our Listener Survey for a chance to win an amazon gift card.

Who Was Maggie Murdaugh And What About Buster? (S01E30)

You asked, we answered.  Our followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram submitted hundreds of questions about the case in the last week.  A lot of you asked questions about the Murdaugh’s family history – who Maggie was... Who buster is... What was in Paul’s criminal past? What was in Alex’s criminal past? How did these people with so much wealth, power and privilege become the family in the center of a snowballing crime ring? In this episode, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dive into these very important questions. You’ll hear from Kim Brant, a Hampton local, who tells us about another side to Maggie that hasn’t been reported before. We tell you everything we know about Buster Murdaugh, the older Murdaugh son often lost in this saga.  And in later episodes, we will answer more of your questions.

How Many People Will Go Down For This? (S01E29)

How Many People Will Go Down For This? (S01E29)

After Friday’s indictments, Alex Murdaugh now stands accused of stealing at least $8.4 million and faces 74 charges. If the latest indictments told us anything, it’s that Alex did not do this alone - but how many people will go down for this? And how bad will this get? In this episode, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell walk you through every detail of Alex's newest indictments that appear to hint others are involved and may face indictments of their own soon. Attorney Justin Bamberg, who is representing at least 8 clients in this case, joins us in this episode. Justin explains how deep loyalty is in a place like Hampton, South Carolina — and how betrayed the people there feel as they reckon with the truth behind two of their most lofty businesses. ** In the last episode, it was said that Russell Laffitte was the former president of Palmetto State Bank. He is the former CEO. This episode was written by Liz Farrell.

What Happened To Hakeem Pinckney? Part One (S01E28)

What Happened To Hakeem Pinckney? Part One (S01E28)

Hakeem Pinckney was an inspiration. He spent his whole life overcoming the odds.  His hearing started deteriorating at a young age, but he never complained. In fact, he won a national championship in football when he was a senior at the SC School for the Deaf and Blind.  But when he was 19, he was in a horrific crash with three other family members that forever changed his life. For Hakeem, the injuries would leave him a quadriplegic dependent on a ventilator. In 2010, Alex Murdaugh, Corey Fleming and Palmetto State Bank's CEO Russell Lafitte began representing passengers of the vehicle accident, including Hakeem who was paralyzed but aware. But he persevered. His mother Pamela told us that he was improving before he died suddenly in 2011.  10 years later, Pamela learns that Murdaugh allegedly stole insurance money from the Pinckney family after the accident, and again from Hakeem's wrongful death settlement against his care facility after his ventilator was mysteriously "unplugged". In this episode, you'll hear the powerful voice of Hakeem's mother Pamela, from his former teacher, and from Justin Bamberg, who now represents at least 8 of the alleged victims of Alex Murdaugh. Justin's sights are set on justice, while Pamela just wants to know what happened to her son - something she never received from the first set of settlements.

Who Killed Maggie & Paul? Part Two (S01E26)

Almost seven months after Paul Murdaugh and Maggie Murdaugh were murdered in Colleton County, South Carolina, multiple sources close to the investigation said physical evidence directly ties Alex Murdaugh to the double homicide.

Taking On "The Firm" - Part One (S01E25)

Taking On "The Firm" - Part One (S01E25)

“The law firm dropped the ball here…” Previously on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, we told you about how Alex Murdaugh is accused of stealing more than ​​$6.2 million in alleged schemes related to his fake FORGE accounts at Bank of America dating back to 2016. He’s accused of stealing millions of dollars from clients while he was a partner at the law firm started by his great grandfather - PMPED.  But so far, PMPED has escaped accountability.  While PMPED partners have been claiming to “make Alex’s victims whole,” it appears like something else was happening behind the scenes.  On this episode, we speak with South Carolina attorney and lawmaker Justin Bamberg — who has stepped in the arena as a voice for victims.  Bamberg says a lawsuit, and possibly a class action, is likely coming against PMPED. He asks any of Murdaugh’s former clients believing they were taken advantage of to call his law firm at 803-956-5088 or email him at [email protected]. As you know, we are a mission-driven podcast - we expose the truth wherever it leads.  While accomplishing this mission we always take care to respect victims and we are sensitive to the traumatic nature of this story.  We are also very sensitive to our fans - many of which have requested MMP merchandise.

Alex Murdaugh Charged With 21 New Felonies (S01E22)

The disgraced South Carolina attorney, Alex Murdaugh, was hit with 21 new felonies from the state Grand Jury. His bond hearing — which was surrounded by skeptism — was postponed and that is a very big deal. In this episode, we discuss each one of the seven new indictments involving Alex’s alleged scheme and his new bond hearing which was mysteriously postponed. Sources have told us they expect to see hundreds of charges against Alex when all is said and done.  Some sources have told us that this case is going to be the biggest case of fraud the state — and maybe even the country — has ever seen.

Attorneys At War - Part One (S01E21)

Attorneys At War - Part One (S01E21)

Alex Murdaugh‘s “bulldog” defense attorneys, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, have apparently launched a war on Satterfield family attorney Eric Bland. While this might seem like a giant distraction to some, it’s important to take a deeper look at these recent moves by Dick and Jim to figure out what exactly is going on here.  Are they really trying to silence Eric Bland? Or is this just about egos? Lucky for us, Eric is not intimidated by the recent actions of the defense, and you’ll hear from him a lot this episode.  You’ll also hear from attorney Lauren Fox, a South Carolina Bar member, for legal analysis on these recent jaw-dropping actions. Also in this episode, Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney cover the recent judge "switcharoo" in this case and what that could mean.

How Many Crimes Will Alex Murdaugh Be Charged With? Part One (S01E18)

There are currently seven criminal investigations related to Alex Murdaugh and we'll review the salient points in each to capture a bird's eye view of this heinous saga. The Murdaugh name appears repeatedly in police interviews during the investigation of Stephen Smith's murder, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. In this episode, we'll review the funds Alex is alleged to have stolen from the Satterfield estate by false pretense, an obstruction of justice allegation stemming from the criminal investigation of Mallory Beach's death, his identification as a person of interest in the brutal murders of his wife and son, the alleged "suicide for hire" plot and resulting criminal charges, and the new reports of alleged ties to drug gangs, smugglers and perhaps beyond.

What Happened To The Money? Part One (S01E16)

On Tuesday, November 2, 2021 Judge Daniel Hall ordered an injunction and appointed receivers to manage and recover funds that could pay alleged victims currently suing disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh. Hall made his decision four days after attorney Mark Tinsley presented his arguments to appoint two outside parties — attorney John T. Lay Jr. and former U.S. attorney Peter M. McCoy Jr. — to have control over Alex and Buster Murdaugh’s assets, which is known as “receivership” in the court. We also hear from the attorney representing Gloria Satterfield's estate, Eric Bland whose investigation into the handling of Gloria's insurance settlement uncovered a heap of evidence which SLED and the SC Attorney General's office used to charge Alex with fraud and other indictments.

Alex Murdaugh was allegedly shot in a botched "Assisted Suicide Plot" on Saturday, September 4th, 2021.

Smith's attorney Jarrett Bouchette rejects this assertion. We also hear claims from Murdaugh's defense attorney and prosecutor's pleas for enhanced monitoring while out on bond for multiple felonies.
