First and foremost, we are announcing a new way to send tips and communications as we pursue answers in the death of Stephen Smith. It’s time to turn up the pressure and remind everyone that this is the case to close in 2024. If you feel comfortable to send tips straight to SLED, please do so at [email protected]. If you want to send confidential tips to our team in coordination with Stephen's mom Sandy, you can now do so at AnswersForStephen.com.

2024 will mark 9 years since Stephen’s death and we’re going to do everything in our power so that Sandy doesn’t have to spend another year wondering what happened to her son.

There is STILL HOPE THAT WE CAN SOLVE THIS CASE. And by the way, there is a $30,000 reward for anyone who gives information that leads to an arrest. 

We refuse to let this case go cold, no matter how many distractions the Murdaugh mess throws our way. If you know something, say something. Please. For Sandy, for Stephen’s family. We are begging you. AnswersForStephen.com or [email protected].

Now, in this 30th episode of True Sunlight, South Carolina's Supreme Court has finally assigned someone to take over for Judge Clifton Newman and hear Alex Murdaugh’s motion for a new murder trial.

Who is former Chief Justice Jean Toal? And what could the appointment of this legal trailblazer mean for the future of Alex’s case? True Sunlight Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell discuss the latest development in the Murdaugh Murders Saga. Plus they answer listener questions about Becky Hill’s case and whose side they’re on.

Are investigators getting closer to Alex Murdaugh’s missing millions?

True Sunlight Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell discuss an under-the-radar disciplinary action issued this week by the South Carolina Supreme Court, suspending the license of a Hilton Head Island lawyer who might hold some answers as to where Alex stashed his stolen cash. Also on the show, why it’s now more important than ever for people to keep their eyes on the ball in the Becky Hill case.

True Sunlight Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down Alex Murdaugh’s 50-minute speech to the court during his sentencing Nov. 27 for his financial crimes. Though nauseating — and, frankly, inappropriate given that he directly addressed the victims — this unprecedented speech from a defendant provided the public with a bird’s eye view to the full spectrum of his narcissism and his criminality. Also on the show, the quest to get Alex a new trial in his murder case has taken an alarming turn. The focus now seems to be on ensuring that Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill’s credibility is worse than that of the Egg Lady Juror as Team Murdaugh continues its full-court press in getting just about everyone removed from the case.

True Sunlight Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell unpack everything that went down at what has to be the most bizarre court proceeding in South Carolina’s history: the sentencing of Alex Murdaugh.

We are BACK! First of all, we want to say thank you to Eric Alan for his amazing work on Mountain Mystery Part Two, which gave our entire team a much needed break over Thanksgiving. Be sure to check out his YouTube channel here for more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@Eric-Alan 

This week we'll start with some good news, an update on the Becky Hill drama, plus a puzzling situation in Duffie Stone's 14th Circuit. We'll also discuss the brighter moments of Murdaugh's sentencing, such as the bravery the victims showed as they confronted a monster and the grace they showed in forgiving him. We also delve into the plea agreement itself and what it might mean for Alex achieving his No. 1 goal: to be a free man again. This week focuses on the victims' grace, forgiveness, hope and bravery. Next week, we'll pick apart Alex's nonsense. 

We are back on the Blood On Their Hands Book Promo Tour and Mandy is coming to Nashville this weekend. We can’t wait to meet you at The Co-Op Hillsboro village on Belcourt Ave At 1 pm for a book signing Sunday Dec 3. We hope to see you there!

Luna Shark Productions continues its mission of getting the story straight and giving voice to victims by presenting part two of “A Mystery Mountain: What Happened to April Jones?”

So much has happened in the Murdaugh case over the past week. It’s honestly mind-blowing the twists and turns this story continues to take. We’ll get into ALL of this very soon. However, in this special episode of True Sunlight Podcast, Eric Alan Daume reports from the Blue Ridge mountains of South Carolina and continues his investigation into April’s death, as well as the deaths of Kevin Craig and John Evans and the disappearance of Faith Roach. While in the middle of reporting on this compelling story — and as more and more doesn’t seem to add up — Eric finds himself caught off-guard by grim news, deepening the mystery of these Oconee County tragedies.

Eric Alan’s reporting is not only thorough and fearless, it’s compelling and will have you on the edge of your seat as he grapples with the unexpected and confronts the challenges we’ve all experienced in our reporting on true crime stories. In this latest episode, he has invited all of us behind the scenes on his journey to get at the truth about these mysterious deaths and disappearances in Oconee County. 

It’s been a while since we first introduced “A Mountain Mystery.” We invite you to return to True Sunlight Episode #15 to relisten to Part One. And find Eric Alan’s YouTube channel where he has published a number of video episodes on this spellbinding saga

Thank you to ALL OF YOU for listening and for helping us shine the light on this important case.

Once again, the prosecution is proving that Alex Murdaugh is nothing more than a judicial terrorist; and his lawyers will stop at nothing to carry out his orders. True Sunlight Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell discuss the South Carolina Attorney General’s response to Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin’s motion for Alex to get a new murder trial. For the past two months, the headlines have all but celebrated Dick and Jim’s claims of jury-tampering. Now, a fiery response to that motion — filled with Big Creighton Energy — shows just how wrong the accusations are.

A lot of you have asked how you can get signed copies of Blood on their hands and now we have answers. There is a very limited supply of signed copies available at Mandy's event at USC in Columbia, SC presented by the School of Information & Communications this Monday at 7pm.  This will be the ONLY opportunity to buy a book a day early and get it signed after the show.

And for Premium Members only, we'll be at the Roasting Room in Bluffton, SC for a special Premium Member appreciation event Thursday November 16th at 7pm. Click the link to learn more: https://lunasharkmedia.com/event/stayperkyandpesky/

On this 23rd episode, True Sunlight Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell catch you up on the latest drama in the Alex Murdaugh cases — and whoa, what a week it has been.

In an act of utter shamelessness, Alex’s brother Randy, his former law partner Johnny Parker and law firm PMPED have officially jumped in line to take what they claim is their share of Alex’s $1.8 million in known assets … and, based on their requests, they think it all belongs to them.

Dick and Jim have officially asked the Court for a new trial in the murder case. And — in one of the lowest of low-down dirty moves — they’ve asked the state Supreme Court to remove America’s Judge — Judge Clifton Newman — from all cases involving Alex.

Plus, what’s up with Alex’s bestie Chris Wilson? We'll dive into all of that!
