In our first Absurd Recent, William takes the helm and dives headfirst into the absurd and insanely layered case of Alex Murdaugh; a true Southern scandal. For four generations, the Murdaugh name became known as THE Solicitors of Hampton, South Carolina. Alex Murdaugh took this title too far. He used manipulation, scare tactics, and gaslighting to keep his family's name safe. But when did it go too far? At what point did his proverbial “power” run out?

Join us as we answer these questions and more. All while throwing in our own theories. From interviews with witnesses, law enforcement, and survivors, we begin to piece together a history of crime that was brushed under the rug long before Alex Murdaugh got caught.

In this episode, Hanna deep dives into the case of BTK, our very first heavy hitter. We are dedicated to exploring the twisted mind and horrific crimes of one of America's most notorious serial killers, BTK.

Join us as we delve deep into the psyche of this cold-blooded killer, examining the details of his crimes, his methods of operation, and the chilling letters he sent to local media and authorities. Through interviews with experts, survivors, and those who knew him best, we'll explore the impact BTK had on his victims, their families, and the wider community.
