Ep 297: Investigating the Murdaugh Murders with Liz Farrell, Part 20

Show Notes

Laura interviews award winning writer and co-host of The Murdaugh Murders podcast Liz Farrell. Liz is played by Alicia Kelly in the hit Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family. Laura asks Liz about Paul Murdaugh’s history of abuse of Morgan Doughty being excluded from the series as well as the latest developments in Alex Murdaugh’s appeal filing.

Laura and Liz profile other abusive and coercively controlling men including Brian Walshe who mounted a lubricous defense at his trial for the murder of Ana Walshe and Liz shares unique personal insight, having attended school with Brian.

Laura highlights another potential hidden homicide – the triple deaths of Charity Beallis and her two children, and the unanswered questions surrounding the earlier death of Dr Randall Beallis first wife, Shawna Beallis.

Throughout, Laura and Liz expose how coercive control operates behind closed doors and in plain sight - how patterns of power, dominance, and entitlement escalate, and why these warning signs are so often missed. When we understand how power and control operate, we are better equipped to protect victims and save lives. Listen. Learn the patterns. Save Lives.
