The now-infamous Murdaugh family is at the center of a litany of criminal charges for and investigations into fraud, obstruction of justice, the 2021 double homicides of Paul Murdaugh and his mother Maggie, the 2015 murder of young Stephen Smith, the suicide-for-hire plot of family patriarch Alex Murdaugh, and a vast insurance scheme that preyed on the region's most vulnerable citizens.

'Rich People Problems': The Victimization of Russell Laffitte (S01E62)
Russell Laffitte and his wife, Susie, gave an epically tone-deaf performance in an effort to get one of his two ankle monitors removed earlier this month. Mandy and Liz take a hard look at a recently released transcript of what went down in federal court on Sept. 6. What should have been a run-of-the-mill hearing, was anything but as Russell and Susie tried to convince a judge that he too is a victim of Alex Murdaugh.  We also hear a powerful response from Alania Plyler and stay tuned for more detailed legal analysis from Eric Bland this Friday on our new Cup of Justice Bonus Episode.

Who Killed Stephen Smith? Part Six (S01E61)
In this episode, we caught up with Stephen’s mother, the wonderful and resilient Sandy Smith, and Mike Hemlepp, Jr., the Columbia attorney who stepped up to help after Sandy’s previous attorney let her down. We asked Sandy and Mike where things with the case stood and how they felt about everything. While the case gained some momentum last year after SLED took it over from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, it’s now 15 months later and we were hoping by now to know more.  Mandy and Liz take a new look at Stephen’s case. And now, we’re angry and demanding answers.  IF YOU KNOW who killed Stephen Smith, or who covered up this crime, please call: Crime Stoppers of the Lowcountry: (843) 554-1111 Mike Hemlepp’s Office: (803) 373-1706 Or Email [email protected] SUNscribe to our free email list to get alerts on bonus episodes, calls to action, new shows and updates.
