Ep 129: The Murdaugh Murders: Analysing the Crime Scene and Law Enforcement Response, Part 3
Laura shares her analyses about the targeting of Maggie and Paul, the choice of location, the sequence of events and when triangulated, it reveals that this horrific double murder could only have been committed by someone close to them. Laura dives deeper into the crime scene behaviour including the modus operandi of how Maggie and Paul were killed, the different types of weapons and different types of ammunition being used and how this points to the killer(s) being from outside the home. Laura explains how the evidence fights itself and shares her experience about what this means, as well as spotlighting the puzzling law enforcement response. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, Laura analyses the 911 call Alex Murdaugh made on June 7, 2021, in which he claimed he had discovered the dead bodies of his wife, Maggie, and his son, Paul.

Ep 123: The Murder of Sarah Everard: A Deep Dive into the Culture of the Metropolitan Police Service with Henry Riley
In this episode Laura talks with special guest Henry Riley, LBC journalist, about Sarah Everard’s abduction, rape and murder by Wayne Couzens, a Metropolitan Police officer. What followed was a nationwide outpouring of grief, shock and anger. Women shared stories of male violence whilst the Metropolitan Police downplayed Couzen’s as an unfortunate ‘bad apple’ and declared he ‘was not a police officer.’ Since Sarah we’ve heard nonstop about police officer’s including David Carrick perpetrating abuse and violence towards women. More recently Wayne Couzen’s extensive indecent exposure history was revealed, and the fact women reported him but the Metropolitan Police Service failed to act. Henry shares his investigation into PC Terry Melka, a police officer convicted of indecent exposure who is still a serving Metropolitan police officer. Laura details her experience of working in the Metropolitan Police and how police perpetrators were dealt with. This important interview was recorded on the day Baroness Louise Casey published her deeply disturbing 363-page report detailing institutional racism, sexism, misogyny and homophobia in the Metropolitan Police. Baroness Casey has called for urgent root and branch reform of the “Boys Club” that’s the UK’s largest police service. Trigger warning: Listener discretion is advised.
