In the words of Alex Murdaugh, "I always knew I was going to get caught eventually,' he said. 'I'm just surprised it took y'all so long."

Valerie shows us the Murdaugh family history, revealing a chilling lineage of manipulation that bleeds into the town and justice system. The lives lost and irrevocably changed due to not only Alex Murdaugh's actions, but the Murdaugh lineage in general, deserve our attention and empathy. This is a story that lingers long after the last page is turned, reminding us of the fragility of justice and the depths of human depravity.
