How to get away with Murdaugh | Part 1 True Crime Society

We start this episode discussing some of the non-update Gabby Petito & Brian Laundrie updates (specifically, Gabby's family's Dr. Phil appearance and how Brian is probably NOT living in a bunker in his yard) and the disappointing news regarding Alexis Sharkey's alleged killer.

If you don't care about any of that and only want to hear about Murdaugh She Wrote (lol), fast forward approx 18 minutes.

Where to start with the Murdaugh saga?  It is A LOT!  We have broken down their story into two parts.  For anyone who is not familiar with this one,  Alex Murdaugh and his wife Maggie lived an affluent life with their two sons Buster and Paul in South Carolina.  They were/are basically South Carolina Royalty - their family has been high profile in the area for decades.   

A few years ago, things started going really wrong for them - their housekeeper died mysteriously and Paul (allegedly) caused a boat crash while drunk that killed 19 y/o Mallory Beach.  And then in June this year, Alex found Paul and Maggie murdered at one of the many homes they owned.  Police have now reopened other cold cases in the area, looking for connections to the Murdaugh's. And to top it off, Alex allegedly paid someone to shoot him in the head in a suicide-for-hire insurance plot. 

I told you it was a lot!

In this episode we discuss:

- The Murdaugh Family History
- The hit-and/run/possible murder of Stephen Smith
- The death of Gloria Satterfield - the Murdaugh family housekeeper for over 20 years
- The fatal drunken boat crash that killed Mallory Beach
- The murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh

We will finish off the story in next week's episode - updates are happening daily at the moment!
