The Murdaugh Murders

The case of the Murdaugh family has captivated the nation and has dominated the headlines. The Murdaugh family has been influential in the town of Hampton, South Carolina for over a century. But a series of scandals over recent years has swirled around the Murdaugh name. In 2019, 19-year-old Paul Murdaugh crashed a boat that ended the life of 19-year-old Mallory Beach. In June 2021, Paul and his mother Maggie were found dead.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss this fascinating case out of South Carolina. There are a lot of twists and turns involved. Alex Murdaugh, the father of Paul and husband of Maggie, has been accused of embezzlement and insurance fraud. He recently turned himself into place on the latter. But, because of the Murdaugh name and their clout, many people believe they've gotten away with more than other families would have. Rumors are still flying as to who may have killed Paul and Maggie and the reason for the murders. Are they connected with some of the other allegations that have been levied against their family members?
