TSP #59 - 911 calls shed light on JP Miller’s True Colors And Cohort + Stephen Smith Officer Claps Back (Sort of)

In this episode Mandy and Liz dive deeper into the Arthur Badger case and share how Russell Laffitte, Alex Murdaugh and potentially others allegedly aimed to reap benefits from the Badger family’s unimaginable tragedy. Despite how egregious it is and despite how much it has exposed the underworld of Alex Murdaugh, these circumstances deserve a more critical examination than they’ve received thus far. Names you’ll recognize like Corey Fleming, Carmen Mullen and others continue to pop up and we get some great insight from the indefatigable Eric Bland. Plus - we look at new developments in the Beach’s civil case against the Murdaughs and Parker’s.

As we reported in MMP this week, the Judge Hall reversed his earlier order that basically split the "boat crash" case in two and allowed the Murdaughs to indefinitely postpone that trial so Alex could prepare for his speedy murder trial. The Attorney General’s Office told us the murder case still hasn’t been scheduled.  While we wait for those crucial announcements, Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland want to share some conversations about what might be happening behind the scenes.

Recent revelations and legal filings have us wondering if investigators are maintaining the momentum needed to hold all of Alex Murdaugh’s alleged conspirators accountable. Or are they taking a page from the Good Ole Boys handbook and hoping that one man’s punishment will get the public to shut up and move on? Mandy and Liz share their take on journalistic ethics as it pertains to victims, dive deep into recent motion filings, and take a look at the entangling alliances within the federal and state justice systems.  SUNscribe to our free email list to get alerts on bonus episodes, calls to action, new shows and updates.

Russell Laffitte and his wife, Susie, gave an epically tone-deaf performance in an effort to get one of his two ankle monitors removed earlier this month. Mandy and Liz take a hard look at a recently released transcript of what went down in federal court on Sept. 6. What should have been a run-of-the-mill hearing, was anything but as Russell and Susie tried to convince a judge that he too is a victim of Alex Murdaugh.  We also hear a powerful response from Alania Plyler and stay tuned for more detailed legal analysis from Eric Bland this Friday on our new Cup of Justice Bonus Episode.

In this episode, we caught up with Stephen’s mother, the wonderful and resilient Sandy Smith, and Mike Hemlepp, Jr., the Columbia attorney who stepped up to help after Sandy’s previous attorney let her down. We asked Sandy and Mike where things with the case stood and how they felt about everything. While the case gained some momentum last year after SLED took it over from the South Carolina Highway Patrol, it’s now 15 months later and we were hoping by now to know more.  Mandy and Liz take a new look at Stephen’s case. And now, we’re angry and demanding answers.  IF YOU KNOW who killed Stephen Smith, or who covered up this crime, please call: Crime Stoppers of the Lowcountry: (843) 554-1111 Mike Hemlepp’s Office: (803) 373-1706 Or Email info@murdaughmurderspodcast.com SUNscribe to our free email list to get alerts on bonus episodes, calls to action, new shows and updates.
