In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson talks with South Carolina attorney Joe McCulloch on Alex Murdaugh's motion to dismiss the charges leading up to the retrial. McCulloch, who represents Murdaugh jurors from the first trial and Yemassee Police Chief Greg Alexander, details what he calls the "Murdaugh Madness" - the never-ending allegations and rumors around the Murdaugh case, as we sort fact from fiction. McCulloch breaks down the defense claim that false blood stain evidence on Alex Murdaugh's white T-shirt went to the grand jury, testimony about the rifles used in the murders and what he says has come of the Greg Alexander weapons claims.
Murdaugh's retrial is scheduled for April 2027.

According to multiple reports, SLED is looking into whether Alexander and another Yemassee officer removed the shotgun and .300 Blackout rifle used in the murders, along with bloody clothing, and transported them to the police department. The weapons have never been recovered.
Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys have filed a motion asking prosecutors to disclose what they know about the investigation. They cite a tip that Alexander arrived early at the scene, offered the defendant a change of clothes, and that the guns and clothing were brought to the Yemassee police station.
As of now, there are no confirmed findings or charges against the officers.

Former South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon joins Anne Emerson to break down what’s next in the Alex Murdaugh case after the evidentiary hearing on October 16, 2026 before Judge Debra McCaslin.
Judge McCaslin warned both sides that she would not allow the proceedings to become a circus or permit anyone to use the courtroom as a platform for publicity or theatrics, setting a strict tone for the retrial. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with Charlie Condon, who explains why Harpootlian had to apologize after claiming Murdaugh passed a lie detector test about the murders “with flying colors,” why Judge McCaslin reprimanded both the state and the defense, and why the defense scored a win: new testing of unknown male DNA from Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails and DNA from her phone can go to defense experts.
They also discuss the fight over .300 Blackout ammunition and what Condon calls a “totally revamped” defense on experts, setting up a battle of the experts at retrial.

The defense and prosecution have been trading a "dizzying" flurry of filings over what the jury will and won't see, and the judge is about to start making calls.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson speaks with Valerie Bauerlein, a Wall Street Journal reporter, author of The Devil at His Elbow, and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning co-creator of the podcast Camp Swamp Road, who has covered the Murdaugh case since 2021.
Bauerlein breaks down the issues Judge Debra McCaslin is expected to address. The defense is asking the judge to privately review state grand jury testimony tied to a tip about the missing murder weapons and is accusing the state of failing to turn over information. They are also asking the judge to order testing of cartridges against other crimes, access to raw data from the crime scene scans, and cellphone extraction data they say the state never fully provided.
Bauerlein shares why she thinks this will be a very different trial from the first one, what the South Carolina Supreme Court's decision means for the evidence jurors will hear, and what the biggest challenges will be for both sides.
Alex Murdaugh is presumed innocent in the retrial.

At the August 14 motions hearing, Alex Murdaugh's defense attorney, Jim Griffin, dropped a bombshell tied to reporting from FITSNews: a possible connection between the shell casings found next to Maggie Murdaugh's body in 2021 and an execution-style murder just a few miles away in April 2026.
Valerie Bauerlein sits down with FITSNews reporter Jenn Wood to pull back the curtain on that reporting, including the original tip about Frank Alexander Brown III's murder in Allendale County, her verification process, and what she learned directly from South Carolina's State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) just last week — information Wood had no idea would become one of the first things out of the defense's mouth in court. Bauerlein also details never-before-presented texts from Alex Murdaugh's phone that didn't surface during the first trial, digs into the mystery of where Maggie's Mercedes actually is right now (hint: not where it should be), and explains why Eddie Smith has never gone to trial. It's an episode Murdaugh junkies will not want to miss.

Valerie Bauerlein was in court Friday as Alex Murdaugh walked in to his motions hearing without shackles or an orange jumpsuit — dark sport coat, baby-blue tie. What unfolded played like a preview of the defense's case for next year's retrial. Former South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon helps break down what armchair detectives need to know with host Valerie Bauerlein, best-selling author of The Devil at His Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty, and the reporter who covered the Murdaugh murder trial alongside Anne Emerson in 2023.
The stunner: defense attorney Jim Griffin said a recent Allendale County murder has been linked in press leaks to the Murdaugh murder weapon — and asked how that can be. Judge Debra McCaslin set the trial for April 5 and said she intends to stick by it. From Cousin Eddie to DNA to a change of venue to an attempt to toss Alex Murdaugh’s testimony from the first trial, this conversation is your roadmap of the Murdaugh retrial stakes — not a docket read, a defense-case preview. Charlie Condon unpacks it all and suggests the defense's theme ahead of Alex Murdaugh's April trial.

We had to speak with an expert who could tell us how time of death is actually determined… and is there room for error?
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson speaks with Joseph Scott Morgan, Death Investigator and host of the podcast Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan, who helped create the national standards for determining time of death. He helps us understand the physical process coroners and medical examiners use to narrow down that timeframe, and examines the coroner’s actions in the Murdaugh murders with his expert perspective - what he did, and more importantly, what he didn’t do during that examination.
Alex Murdaugh’s case returns to court on Friday August 14th for a retrial hearing, when Judge Debra McCaslin could rule on where the new South Carolina murder trial will be held, along with other pending motions.

Alex Murdaugh body language breakdown: What stands out to an expert in spotting deception?

On Monday, June 29th, we watched Alex Murdaugh appear in a South Carolina courtroom for a pretrial hearing ahead of his 2027 retrial for the murders of his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and his son, Paul Murdaugh. With all eyes back on Alex, we’re asking whether his physical movements in the courtroom - like his tongue pressing repeatedly to the inside of his cheek - were signs of nervousness, deception, or something else entirely.
Today’s guest lends her expertise to help us read between the lines of physical behavior, and spot the “tells” that others might miss.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with body language and deception expert Susan Constantine to analyze Alex Murdaugh's behavior during his recent retrial hearing. Her upcoming book “How to Spot a Liar in 7 Seconds or Less” examines deception and nonverbal behavior.
Susan Constantine is no stranger to Alex Murdaugh and his ongoing case, and in this conversation, she tells us what she believes his body language reveals. What red flags did she notice in the courtroom, and what does she expect to see in the April 2027 retrial? She also breaks down Alex Murdaugh's body language in the 2021 police body camera video captured at the Moselle, South Carolina crime scene, and when he took the stand in the original 2023 murder trial.

With Alex Murdaugh's murder retrial approaching in April 2027, one of the biggest challenges may come before opening statements are ever delivered. After jury influencing led to his original 2023 murder convictions of Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh being overturned, selecting 12 impartial jurors for retrial will be a critical part of the next chapter.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with jury consultant and body language expert Susan Constantine to break down how attorneys will build a jury for the Alex Murdaugh murder retrial. This is an expert who is no stranger to the true crime spotlight - in 2011, she was inside the courtroom throughout the entire Casey Anthony trial in Orlando, Florida. When it seems nearly everyone has heard of a case like the Murdaugh murders, how do prosecutors and the defense determine who can still be fair?
Susan explains what happens behind the scenes during jury selection, from analyzing body language and listening for subtle verbal cues to conducting extensive social media research on potential jurors. It’s her job to identify potential juror biases... so what exactly does she look for?
If you're following the Alex Murdaugh murder retrial, this conversation offers an inside look at one of the most important and least understood parts of the criminal justice system.

Three years after Alex Murdaugh was convicted of murdering his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and son, Paul Murdaugh, a sample of unidentified male DNA is at the center of the investigation as we anticipate an April 2027 retrial.
At Alex Murdaugh’s hearing on Monday, June 29th, defense attorney Jim Griffin renewed his push to have DNA reexamined by Othram. Othram is the forensic genetic genealogy lab known for solving cold cases and assisting in high-profile investigations, including work connected to the Bryan Kohberger case. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with forensic DNA analyst Tiffany Roy to break down what the DNA evidence could mean for the case, and what she thinks should happen next in her expert opinion. How significant is touch DNA? Does it deserve another look using today's advanced forensic technology?

His 2023 convictions were overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court which ruled former Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca “Becky” Hill improperly influenced the jury. Murdaugh remains incarcerated for 22 state financial crimes and 14 federal charges serving both sentences concurrently, unaffected by the murder retrial.
A status hearing is set for August for Judge Debra McCaslin to decide pending motions on a change of venue and allowing independent DNA testing of samples from under Maggie Murdaugh’s fingernails, among others.

Alex Murdaugh's retrial is scheduled for April 5th 2027, and many expect it to become one of the biggest true crime trials in America all over again. With a new judge, new legal battles, and renewed public attention, the next chapter of the Murdaugh saga is already taking shape.
In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with veteran South Carolina attorney Joe McCulloch, who says Judge Debra McCaslin is about to become a "lion tamer in a three-ring circus." McCulloch has a unique perspective on the case, having represented Connor Cook after the deadly boat crash involving Paul Murdaugh that tragically killed Mallory Beach. He also represented two jurors during the Becky Hill jury tampering investigation, attended the original six-week murder trial in 2023, and has spent more than 40 years practicing law in South Carolina.
The first Alex Murdaugh murder trial captivated the true crime world, and McCulloch believes the retrial is primed to be round two of that media spotlight. We examine what happens next, and what’s on his mind as a true insider to the Murdaugh case.

Alex Murdaugh was back in court on Monday, June 29th, and his second murder trial is officially scheduled. Judge Debra McCaslin set a date for April 5th 2027, and we’re getting a glimpse into potential strategies for both the prosecution and defense.

Anne also revisits her interview with Captain Jason Chapman of the Colleton County Sheriff's Office, one of the first officers at the Moselle crime scene, after defense attorney Dick Harpootlian referenced the theory of a "cleaned crime scene" in court.

He alleging she violated his civil rights by tampering with the jury during his 2023 double-murder trial. Hill previously pleaded guilty to state charges of perjury, obstruction of justice, and misconduct in office. Comments Hill made to jurors was considered as improperly influencing the verdict.
The complaint claims Hill wanted a guilty verdict to help sell her upcoming book about the trial. Murdaugh's team is seeking more than $600,000 in compensatory damages—mostly tied to the costs of the original trial—along with punitive damages. His attorneys have stated that any recovered money will not go to Murdaugh personally, but is intended to hold Hill accountable.
