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 continues to analyse Alex Murdaugh’s third interview/ interrogation with SLED’s Special Agent David Owen and Senior Special Agent Jeff Croft on August 11, 2021 at Walterboro. Murdaugh’s good friend and lawyer Cory Fleming was by his side.

Laura highlights Murdaugh’s reaction when caught in a lie, as well as a key tell when he’s lying. In the final one minute and twenty-six seconds of this interview Special Agent David Owen switched gears and directly asked Murdaugh if he killed Maggie and Paul. Murdaugh’s answers are revealing and left Laura in no doubt that he did. Listen to Laura as she breaks it down. You won’t want to miss this.
