The devil has always walked among us, often disguised in the friendly faces of family members, but driven by wild demons: alcohol, drugs, or mental illness.

In The Wicked South Podcast Episode 7, Michael, Seton, and Matt study family annihilators in S.C. Lowcountry history, and why Alex Murdaugh represents the worst of the devils in the human spirit.

Matt and Michael dive into the fascinating history of banking in Hampton.

During the Great Depression, Randolph Murdaugh Sr. prosecuted crooked, corrupt bankers and sent them to prison. Almost a century later, his descendant, Alex Murdaugh, conspired with a dirty money lender to steal millions. This week, that disgraced banker, Russell Laffitte, is set for sentencing to federal prison. 

Meanwhile, we explore the colorful history of the Laffitte banking legacy, including a Hampton banker who loaned money to moonshiners and rubbed elbows with bank robbers.

Matt Harris and Seton Tucker continue to tell the story of the Wicked South.

The wicked preacher took the underaged girl under his wing, then fast and prayed until God "sanctioned their union." But lo and behold, a child was born, and it was no immaculate conception. 

Criminal charges were filed, and it would become one of the most sensational and scandalous trials in Randolph Murdaugh's historic career.

Michael Dewitt, Seton Tucker and Matt Harris bring you another case from the Wicked South.

It is a case eerily similar to Stephen Smith's unsolved homicide. Another dead Hampton County teen found in the middle of a H.C. road with lots of unanswered questions, and shockingly local police are connected. Another grieving H.C. family waits years for unrequited justice. Protests rise and lawsuits are filed against two of the most powerful men in the land, solicitors Buster and Randolph Murdaugh III, but will there be justice and accountability?

A wicked man was just passing through the 14th Circuit when he ran afoul of the law. In an ill-advised show of mercy, 14th Circuit Solicitor Randolph Murdaugh III released him, not knowing of his violent past in multiple states. That suspect went on to rape and murder almost a dozen women and become known as the horrific Charlotte Strangler. 

Today Henry Louis Wallace sits on North Carolina's Death Row facing nine death sentences—deaths that could have been prevented if the criminal justice system, including Murdaugh and the 14th Judicial Circuit, had not broken down.

In the first episode of The Wicked South, Seton, Matt and Michael take a dive into the history of the Murdaugh family.

Every good family story begins on a bloody battlefield and ends in disgrace in a courtroom -- or sometimes a gentleman's strip club.

For more than a century, the Murdaugh family of Hampton County made legends of themselves -- on the battlefield, on the gridiron, and in the courtroom—until one man brought about the Fall of the House of Murdaugh. Here is how they did it, and how it helped them build a legal and political dynasty. 

Follow the Murdaugh mystique from the Civil War to the controversial 14th Circuit -- and co-host Seton Tucker just may surprise you with her intimate knowledge of Hilton Head gentlemen's club history.
