MMP Remastered #48 - Means, Motive & Opportunity - Who Killed Maggie & Paul? Part Four
True Sunlight
The Stakes of Accurate Reporting
Liz and Mandy reflect on the career and personal risks they faced while investigating powerful local figures.
Originally released in June 8, 2022, Means, Motive & Opportunity: Who Killed Maggie & Paul? Part Four marks the moment when journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney pieced together the strongest early case against Alex Murdaugh using credible inside sources and relentless investigation.
This episode details the mounting forensic and circumstantial evidence — including video placing Alex at the crime scene, financial pressures closing in, and the unraveling power networks that long protected the Murdaugh family.
With trademark precision, the journalists break down how opportunity, motive, and means collided on June 7, 2021, leading to two brutal murders that shook South Carolina.
2025 Mandy and Liz also talk about the emotional toll of reporting under immense pressure, the public backlash they endured, and how truth-telling in a climate of corruption became both their calling and their survival.
