In February 2019, Mallory Beach was killed in Beaufort County, South Carolina as a result of a horrific boat crash on Archers Creek near Parris Island. Paul Murdaugh was indicted for Boating Under The Influence Resulting In Death among other charges and awaiting trial.

On this episode, investigative journalist Mandy Matney takes an initial dive into case files to find out what went wrong in that investigation and how its connected to the Murdaugh Murders of 2021.

Learn the details of events leading up to the crash, including Paul Murdaugh's intoxication and erratic behavior. The investigation was chaotic, with delays and alleged confusion over who was driving the boat.
 
Paul was not administered a field sobriety test that night. 

The civil lawsuit, filed by Mallory's mother, Renee Beach, and led by Mark 'The Tiger' Tinsley targets Parker's gas station and the Murdaugh family for facilitating Paul's drinking... among a variety of other claims.
