Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were shot dead at the dog kennels at Moselle on June 7 2021. Alex Murdaugh called 911 claiming he found their bodies. He was later arrested and convicted for their murders. Two local journalists played a pivotal role in unraveling Murdaugh's corruption, abuse and escalation to murder - Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney.

In this fascinating episode, Laura is rejoined by co-host of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast Liz Farrell. They discuss:
1. Alex Murdaugh's appeal;
2. several mind-blowing revelations about the trial regarding the data
3. behind the scenes of the hit Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family including what it was like for Alicia Kelly to play Liz;
4. those who tried to discouraged Liz and Mandy from investigating Alex Murdaugh;
5. the toll it takes on investigative journalists when investigating a case like this, and,
6. Laura answers Liz’s sobering question about how she deals with the realisation that the world hates women.

This episode highlights the critical role of investigative journalism in holding powerful offenders to account and exposing systems that protect them for far too long. This is a compelling and essential watch. Truth and accountability matter. And journalism can change outcomes.
