For nearly half a century, Randolph "Buster" Murdaugh Jr. was the chief prosecuting officer of a circuit that harbored bootleggers, poachers, rumrunners, and cold-blooded murderers.

But the Murdaughs were not the only interesting personalities in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

The 14th Judicial Circuit is a strange corner of coastal South Carolina populated with mysterious, colorful characters on both sides of the law.

On this episode you will meet Ed McTeer, known as the "Witch Doctor Sheriff" and his hoodoo adversaries, including Dr. Buzzard and Dr. Bug.

Michael DeWitt writes for the USA network and is the author of The Wicked Hampton County. His book, the Fall of the House of Murdaugh will be released in November.

Seton Tucker and Matt Harris also host the podcast Impact of Influence.
