TSP #19 - What Dick and Jim Want Jurors to Hear About Alex Murdaugh + Cory Fleming Seems to Be … Missing?

In 2015, Stephen Smith was killed in Hampton County, South Carolina and the case remains unsolved... On this second installment of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, investigative Journalist Mandy Matney discusses the Stephen Smith case, highlighting the 2180 days his family has waited for justice.  We detail the chaotic 2015 investigation, noting the lack of evidence suggesting a hit-and-run, despite a pathologist's ruling. Smith's body was found with severe head trauma, but no other significant injuries.  The case was complicated by jurisdictional issues and conflicting reports. Rumors linked the Murdaugh family to Smith's death, but investigators failed to connect the dots or substantiate any of the claims. Plus, we shed light on some other recent developments including a $100,000 reward offered by the Murdaugh family and the discovery of Maggie Murdaugh's cell phone.  On this episode, we take a deep dive into case files to find out what went wrong in that investigation and how its connected to the Murdaugh Murders of 2021.

From early recordings at journalist Mandy Matney's kitchen table to a global sensation ranked #1 on apple with a scripted series on Hulu, the Murdaugh Murders Podcast exposes the truth from a tangled web of deceit, theft and murder. In these first 93 MMP episodes, we give voice to victims and gets the story straight amidst the noise then continue coverage of other cases on True Sunlight Podcast... same feed, same great mission. On this very first episode Mandy Matney discusses the Murdaugh family's history and recent tragedies, including the 2019 boat crash involving Paul Murdaugh, the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, and the 2018 death of Gloria Satterfield. We detail the double homicide of Paul and his mother Maggie on June 7th 2021, noting the involvement of SLED due to potential conflicts of interest with local law enforcement. At this point in time, Alex Murdaugh, the family patriarch, is a person of interest but provided an alibi that would later implode due to good police work and some dogged reporting holding those agencies accountable. In order to understand the double homicide investigation of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, we need to understand the Murdaugh family, their power in South Carolina and the three mysterious deaths tied to them...
