Mandy Matney’s hit podcast, “Murdaugh Murders” fascinated true-crime listeners like myself by reporting in real time on the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh at the hands of husband and father, respectively, Alex Murdaugh. It also provides the basis for the new limited series, “Murdaugh: Death in the Family,” (now streaming only on Hulu). Mandy talks with me about facing off against the century-old Murdaugh legal dynasty; gaining the trust of sources who feared possible retribution from the Murdaughs; her theories about what might have happened the night Alex Murdaugh killed his family, and the process of dramatizing her reporting for the screen.
