Alex Murdaugh: The Book That Exposes What the Trial Couldn't

from True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews · host Real Story Media

James Lasdun spent years investigating the Murdaugh case for The New Yorker and his book The Family Man. This interview covers it all — the manipulation patterns that started long before the murders, the evidence that was kept from the jury, and the psychology that finally explains how a father kills his own family.The book reveals that the boat crash narrative may have been built after the fact, traces Alex's staging and framing patterns through the hospital and the roadside shooting, and uncovers a backdated check to a police chief who was at the crime scene.It surfaces calls with men with criminal records on the day of the murders that prosecutors left off the jury's timeline, Cousin Eddie's failed polygraph, and physical evidence — unidentified tire tracks, Maggie's car in the wrong position — that was never investigated or explained.And it draws on decades of criminal psychology research to place Alex alongside documented family annihilators. Men who appeared devoted. Men who were described as loving. Men who killed their families when exposure became inevitable.The full interview. One conversation that reframes the entire case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
