Ep 285: Murdaugh: Death in the Family with Mandy Matney, Part 18

Show Notes

Laura is joined by award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney, creator of The Murdaugh Murders podcast and executive producer of Murdaugh: Death in the Family, on Hulu. Laura and Mandy discuss the Murdaugh case, Mandy’s experience reporting on the powerful Murdaugh dynasty, and the new TV show.

Laura and Mandy also explore how coercive control operates behind closed doors and how the risk to women dramatically increases when they try to leave an abuser. Together, Laura and Mandy examine the broader patterns of power, privilege, and control that enabled years of abuse and the courage it takes to expose them.
