True Sunlight MMP Remastered #15 - Was Alex Murdaugh Actually Shot? Part Two
This remastered 15th episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast features journalists Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney unpacking the contradictions, chaos, and cover stories surrounding Alex Murdaugh’s now-infamous roadside shooting.
Recorded as the truth about Alex’s insurance fraud scheme began to unravel, this episode reveals how the incident became a desperate attempt to shift public sympathy while investigators closed in.
Mandy and Liz Farrell dissect conflicting 911 calls, bizarre timelines, and law enforcement’s inconsistent response — exposing how power, privilege, and deception collide in South Carolina’s Lowcountry.
With insights from attorney Johnny McCoy, they explore how “Cousin Eddie” Smith became the fall guy for a tangled web of lies.
