  • Summary

  • The Murdaugh family was one of South Carolina's most powerful legal families. Three generations of Murdaughs held the position of solicitor in the lowcountry for almost one hundred years. In February of 2019 a boat crash killed 19 year old Mallory Beach. Paul Murdaugh, the son of prominent SC attorney, Alex Murdaugh, was charged with three felony counts of boating under the influence, including causing the death of Mallory Beach. June 7, 2021 Alex Murdaugh found his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, brutally murdered, shot to death on their property known as Moselle. On March 2, 2023 Alex was convicted of murdering Maggie and Paul. Between the murders and the convictions many other crimes came to light. No one could have expected the twists and turns the story has taken and it is not finished. Seton Tucker and Matt Harris started the Impact of Influence podcast soon after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. You may have seen them talking about the Murdaugh saga on CourtTV, Murdaugh documentaries on Oxygen and Fox Nation and episodes on American Greed and Nancy Grace. Seton and Matt continue updating the Murdaugh story and are now covering other crimes that have occurred throughout the Southeast. Impact of Influence is now a Youtube channel You can find them on their Impact of Influence FB page or Mattharrispodcast@gmail.com

    Jaden's Law, A Grieving South Carolina Mother's Fights For Change
    Feb 3 2025
    Jaden’s Law We talk to the mother of Jaden Phillips about a proposed legislation, bill H 3602, “Jaden’s Law.” The bill is of great significance to Jaden’s family after tragically losing their 19 year old son in a boating accident. “Jaden’s Law” is designed to address critical gaps in the South Carolina’s response system for boating accents. It would enact new requirements for 911 dispatchers to access injuries and the nature of the accident. Additionally, it would implement improvements on how law enforcement agencies are notified and work together to properly investigate accidents involving deaths and homicides. Jaden’s mother seeks to give him a voice and improve the current system in hopes it helps other families.

  • Rose Petal Murder Trial Delayed

    Rose Petal Murder Trial Delayed
    Jan 21 2025
    In the previous 2 episode we went in to detail on what has been dubbed the Rose Petal Murder. The trial was scheduled to begin January 13. It has been delayed and you will hear why. On Oct 13, 2021, 41 year old Christina Parcell was found brutally murdered in Greer, SC. Parcell had suffered 31 stab wounds and www.Fitsnews.com dubbed the homicide the Rose Petal Murder because rose petals were found scattered around Parcell’s body. When word of Christina Parcell’s murder spread, there was an outpouring of kind words about Christine. However, sometimes things are not what they seem. Shortly after her murder Parcell’s fiancé was arrested, but not on charges relating to her murder. Parcell had also been involved in a contentious custody battle with the father of her child. Eventually an arrest was made for the murder of Christine Parcell but it was not her not her fiancé or the father of her child. This horrific story involves murder and allegations of criminal sexual conduct with minors and buggery.

For People Who Prefer Their Facts from First Hand Sources

If you’d rather hear canned presentations from the traveling band of pundits who chase the latest headline, this is not for you. But, if you want fresh information from people who know the facts, the history, the ramifications of in-court and out of court decisions and the reverberation in the lives of the people left to put their lives together after the case is decided and the famous people have flown off to find the next courthouse lawn, this podcast is for you.

Just Keeps Getting Better

I really am enjoying this podcast. Every time I listen, it gets better. They interview experts in various fields: from a local historian to a legal analyst, an expert on FOIA, and a local reporter who was first on the scene of the murders. It's educational and informative, and, most importantly, factual. I enjoy the conversational format as well; makes for easy listening, like being a guest at a dinner party with well-informed guests discussing the local Murdaugh saga.

No Depth

No depth or analysis of the issues in this case. Occasionally a guest will offer good insight. Hosts not so much. Compared to other Murdaugh Murder podcast this is very lacking. Still listen to see if I’ve missed any news but don’t enjoy as much.

Balanced!

Enjoyed your balanced coverage and discussions. Had to delete another podcast that was horribly skewed and cringy. Thank you!

I've listened to other Murdaugh Podcasts

but this one is a step above because it seems more objective than some of the others. No doubt that might irritate some, but for those of us who appreciate fact sharing and not dramatization, this is a great listen.
