Ep 290: The Murdaugh Murders REMASTERED: Analysing the Crime Scene and Law Enforcement Response, Part 3

Show Notes

The Hulu’s series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh’s behaviour with forensic precision.

Laura shares her analyses about the targeting of Maggie and Paul, the choice of location, the sequence of events and when triangulated, it reveals that this horrific double murder could only have been committed by someone close to them.

Laura dives deeper into the crime scene behaviour including the modus operandi of how Maggie and Paul were killed, the different types of weapons and different types of ammunition being used and how this points to the killer(s) being from outside the home. Laura explains how the evidence fights itself and shares her experience about what this means, as well as spotlighting the puzzling law enforcement response. Listener discretion is advised.
