6 Years Ago: The Shocking Cover-Up Behin...

True Crime Today
About this episode
On the night of February 24, 2019, a boating trip turned deadly when a boat owned by Alex Murdaugh—a powerful South Carolina attorney—crashed into a bridge, throwing 19-year-old Mallory Beach into the dark waters of Archer’s Creek. What seemed like a tragic accident soon unraveled into something much darker: a web of privilege, power, and an alleged cover-up designed to protect the Murdaugh family name. With Paul Murdaugh at the helm, intoxicated, reckless, and shielded by generations of influence, questions arose about who would be held accountable—and who would walk free.
This episode dives deep into the Murdaugh family’s long history of legal and political control, the night of the fatal crash, and the shocking efforts to manipulate the investigation. From the disturbing behavior of Paul Murdaugh that night to his father’s alleged interference at the hospital, we explore the evidence of obstruction, the lawsuits that followed, and how this single event set off a chain reaction that led to the murder of Paul and his mother, Maggie, in 2021. Could the boat crash have been the catalyst that brought down the Murdaugh dynasty?

Join us as we piece together the full timeline of events, the legal battles that ensued, and the shocking twists that followed. With exclusive details, witness testimonies, and investigative findings, this is the definitive breakdown of the Murdaugh boat crash case. How did one night of reckless decision-making expose an empire of corruption? And what does justice really look like for Mallory Beach and her family? Listen now to find out.
