Legacy of Death

Murder Most Foul

On January 23rd 2023, Alex Murdaugh - disgraced and disbarred attorney, scion of the influential Murdaugh family and South Carolina “good ol’ boy” - went on trial for the double-homicide of his wife, Maggie and their teenage son, Paul. But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Aside from the financial fraud and swindling of law partners and vulnerable clients, there are at least 3 other deaths connected to Alex and his family. Join me today as I try to sort out this case that has more head-spinning twists and turns than a ride at Disney with the help of my guest, Rebecca F. Pittman who has just finished her book on the case, Countdown to Murder: Alex Murdaugh: Money, Murder & Deception in South Carolina.
