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 investigative journalists played a key role in unraveling Murdaugh's corruption, abuse and escalation to murder - Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell.

In this episode, Laura continues her analysis with investigative journalist Liz Farrell, co-host of The Murdaugh Murders podcast who is played by Alicia Kelley in the eight part Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family.

Laura and Liz dive deeper into:
1. the investigation into Alex Murdaugh before and after the murders of Maggie and Paul;
2. Paul's violent abuse of Morgan Doughty;
3. what Alex Murdaugh, Brian Walshe, Jesse Butler and Brian Laundrie share in common;
4. why law enforcement place too much weight on controlling men's narratives;
5. the triple shooting of Charity Beallis and her twin daughters at their home address, and;
6. Alex Murdaugh's 79 page appeal filing.

This episode highlights the critical role of investigative journalism in holding powerful men to account and exposing systems that protect them for far too long.

Watch and understand how coercive control manifests behind closed doors and how they manipulate and control law enforcement and others into believing their narratives.

This is a compelling and essential watch. Truth and accountability matter. Good investigative journalism can change outcomes.
