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 - Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell.

Laura is joined by award-winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney, creator of The Murdaugh Murders podcast and executive producer of the eight part Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family,.

In this episode, Laura and Mandy unravel Alex Murdaugh's disturbing behaviour and Mandy takes us behind the scenes of the new hit Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family sharing many unique insights including what it was like to take down such a powerful and dangerous man, how the Hulu project came together and what it was like getting to know Brittany Snow who was cast as Mandy, as well as Jason Clarke in his role as Alex Murdaugh and Patricia Arquette as Maggie.
