S2 Ep4: Alex Murdaugh The Murders Part 1

Alex Murdaugh is a former prominent lawyer from South Carolina who gained national attention after a series of scandals in 2021. He comes from a wealthy and influential family that has been involved in the legal profession for decades.
Murdaugh was a partner at the law firm Peters Murdaugh Parker Eltzroth & Detrick (PMPED), which has been a prominent law firm in the state for over a century. Murdaugh specialized in personal injury law and was known for his success in winning large settlements for his clients.
In June 2021, Murdaugh's wife Maggie and their son Paul were found shot to death on their family's hunting property. Murdaugh claimed to have discovered their bodies upon returning home from an out-of-town trip.
In September 2021, Murdaugh resigned from PMPED and announced that he was entering rehab for an opioid addiction. Soon after, he reported that he had been shot in the head while changing a tire on the side of a rural road. The incident initially sparked an investigation into attempted murder, but later it was reported that Murdaugh had orchestrated the shooting in a botched suicide attempt.
During the investigation into the shooting, it was revealed that Murdaugh was being investigated for allegedly embezzling millions of dollars from his law firm over several years. PMPED filed a lawsuit accusing Murdaugh of stealing funds, which led to a cascade of legal and financial troubles for the Murdaugh family.
