Ep 312: The Murdaugh Murders: Analysing the Macro Timeline of Events, Part 14

from Crime Analyst · host Laura Richards

The Hulu’s series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh’s behaviour with forensic precision.   Registration for spring 2026 Masterclasses is now open here: bit.ly/LRMasterclasses2026 *** Listen to the new introduction. It’s important information regarding Alex Murdaugh’s appeal and psychopaths like Murdaugh and Dominique Pelicot (Gisèle Pelicot) being called ‘good guys.’ Laura shares important facts and evidence that point to motive and continues to unravel the timeline including Murdaugh’s significant debt and borrowing, his horrific abuse of power and trust of vulnerable clients and so-called drug addiction. Pamela Pinckney, her son Hakeem Pinckney along with Alania Plyler Spohn and Hannah Plyler turned to Murdaugh at the very worst time in their lives. He used and exploited them, funnelling off money from their legal wins in addition to the money he earned from inflated legal fees and expenses. Laura shares what this behaviour reveals about Murdaugh’s psychology and how it relates to the motive for brutally killing Maggie and Paul and staging their murders as a revenge kill for the boat crash. Join Laura as she breaks it all down. #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #MalloryBeach #HakeemPinckney #AlaniaPlylerSpohn #HannahPlyler #MurdaughMurders #Murder #AlexMurdaugh #MaleViolence #Timeline #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast #TrueCrimePodcast Clips   https://www.facebook.com/HLN/videos/alex-murdaugh-the-south-carolina-attorney-accused-of-arranging-for-a-former-clie/463324845181026/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11796695/Murdaugh-shamelessly-exploited-quadriplegic-client-hed-cheated-1MILLION-commercial.html https://www.live5news.com/2022/11/14/six-witnesses-take-stand-during-trial-former-bank-executive-connected-murdaugh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWHIsk9nmko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHRknEJ6PRY     Sources   https://murdaughmurderspodcast.com/ https://www.nbcnews.com/dateline/in-the-news/alex-murdaugh-vowed-help-says-defrauded-rcna54289 https://www.foxnews.com/us/newly-unearthed-alex-murdaugh-commercial-ad-video-allegedly-exploits-former-disabled-client https://www.wjcl.com/article/alex-murdaugh-shooting-911-call/38039450 https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/local/2023/07/17/after-settlement-whats-next-in-legal-matters-involving-beach-family-updates-murdaugh-sc/70422485007/   2026 Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community      Laura offers 2026 Masterclasses- There is still time to register for coercive control February 25, DASH Risk Masterclass March 11 and 12 and DASH Train the Trainer.   Register for Masterclasses      www.dashriskchecklist.com   www.thelaurarichards.com      For more insight and knowledge, advocacy and professional development join The Crime Analyst Squad.
