Murdaugh: Death in the Family: Inside the Scandal That Brought Down a Century of Power

When Paul Murdaugh's boat crashed on a February night in 2019, killing teenager Mallory Beach, it should have been just another scandal the family could bury. But this time was different. This time, someone was watching.
