True Crime Now

Show Notes

A powerful South Carolina legal dynasty. Two brutal murders. Millions of dollars stolen. And a conviction that sent shockwaves across America.

When Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found murdered on their family's estate, suspicion eventually turned to the man who called 911 — husband and father Alex Murdaugh.

But behind the murders lay a tangled web of financial crimes, family influence and shocking betrayals.

How did one of South Carolina's most powerful families collapse? What really happened that night? And why has Murdaugh's murder conviction faced such extraordinary legal challenges?

In this episode of True Crime Now, Erica Voss investigates the rise and fall of Alex Murdaugh, the evidence that convicted him and the controversy surrounding the case.
