This week on Dead Diary, we're talking about one of the South's most powerful families - the Murdaughs of South Carolina. Alex Murdaugh, once a respected attorney from a century-old legal dynasty, now sits behind bars for the murder of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul.

But the road to justice wasn't straightforward. From a fatal boat crash that left 19-year-old Mallory Beach dead, to embezzlement, staged shootings, and one of the most talked about trials in the country, this case has power, privilege, and a chilling descent into chaos.
