Alex Murdaugh, scion of the once-powerful Murdaugh family legal dynasty, received two life sentences on Friday, concluding a dramatic and shameful fall from grace. Despite vehemently denying responsibility for the deaths of his wife and son, Murdaugh was convicted of their murders. This is sure to carry on a legacy of intergenerational trauma in both the family and community in the Low Country.

During his sentencing, Murdaugh stood before Circuit Court Judge Clifton Newman, adorned in a beige prison jumpsuit and restrained with shackles on his wrists and ankles. The judge condemned the 54-year-old defendant and imposed the maximum sentence: two consecutive double life sentences for the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh.

Following this tragedy, it is important for the community to come together and heal. They can do this by seeking justice for the victims, supporting their loved ones, and ensuring that this type of violence does not occur again. It is also crucial to have open and honest conversations about mental health and the importance of seeking help when needed. By taking these steps, the community can move forward from this tragedy and begin to rebuild.

Episode takeaway: In my opinion, the saga of the Murdaugh family is a cautionary tale on how intergenerational trauma can create a ripple effect of tragedy and destruction. I am hopeful the family can heal and work towards what came next.

The Elephant in the Room in the Murdaugh Case, and Intergenerational Trauma Feb 25, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at https://www.betterhelp.com/MPM and get on your way to being your best self.

This past week, the defense team has started presenting its case in the double murder trial of Alex Murdaugh. Today, Murdaugh spent his final day on the stand answering questions from prosecutors, admitting to having fabricated stories, and committing financial fraud that he will be eventually tried for.

But WHY has there been no serious discussion about how opioids may have contributed to the Murdaugh family's tragic circumstances? Does the family's intergenerational trauma lead to their substance abuse issues? This means there has been no mention of how the misuse or addiction to opioids could have played a part in the events that led to the murders.

Opioids are a class of drugs that include prescription pain relievers, such as oxycodone, as well as illegal drugs, like heroin. They can be highly addictive and have been the subject of a public health crisis in the United States in recent years, with many people becoming addicted to prescription painkillers and turning to illegal opioids like heroin and fentanyl when they can no longer obtain prescription drugs.

Why is no one discussing the Opioid Crisis?!

Episode takeaway: In my opinion, the saga of the Murdaugh family is a cautionary tale on how intergenerational trauma can create a ripple effect of tragedy and destruction.

The Murdaugh's Generational Trauma; Psychopaths Side by Side: Chris Watts & Dr.Jack Boyle. Sumner Redstone. Feb 17, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at https://www.betterhelp.com/MPM and get on your way to being your best self.

Episode Highlights include:

• This episode also features a segment of my Psychopath Showdown episode, comparing my father Dr. Jack Boyle to Chris Watts.

Chris Watts is a name that has become synonymous with one of the most shocking and tragic crimes in recent memory. The case began to unfold in August of 2018, when Watts reported his wife Shanann and their two daughters, Bella and Celeste, missing from their home in Frederick, Colorado. He later confessed to killing all three of them and disposing of their bodies in a nearby oil field where he worked.

• Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl!

•The Battle for a Media Empire: The Unscripted Story of Sumner Redstone and the Rise of Power and Corruption. In their new book, Unscripted: The Epic Battle for a Media Empire, James B. Stewart and Rachel Abrams chronicle the successes and failures of Redstone and his troubled domain.

• The Murder of Chad Entzel: The Shocking Story of Nikki Sue Entzel's Betrayal

Nikki Sue Entzel was once a loving wife until she met her lover Earl Howard, and decided to take matters into her own hands. In 2019, Nikki and her lover murdered her husband, Chad Entzel, and tried to cover it up as a suicide.

Today, Chad's mother and sister read their victim's impact statements, calling her out for her lies and betrayal.

The sentencing for Nikki Sue Entzel has been pushed until March 6, 2023, when she will finally face justice for her crimes. The case serves as a reminder of the destructive power of betrayal and the importance of seeking justice for victims of crime.

* The Murdaugh Trial: The State's Case rests

On day 20 of the trial, the state presented a comprehensive timeline that revealed inconsistencies in Murdaugh's statements to authorities. The state also revealed a possible new motive for the murder: in May 2021, Maggie was concerned about drug use and researching pills online after finding several bags of pills in Murdaugh's computer bag.

• Intergenerational Trauma and the Legacy of The Murdaugh Family

PMPED, the law firm founded by Randolph Murdaugh Sr. in 1910, has been a fixture in Hampton as a one-person law firm for over a century. However, the legacy of the firm is shrouded in controversy and scandal.

Recent findings suggest that Randolph Murdaugh Sr. may have committed suicide in a train accident, rather than the accident being purely accidental. This revelation sheds light on the possible origins of the intergenerational trauma that has plagued the Murdaugh family for generations.

There is a fantastic video from Dr. John Matthias, forensic psychologist and co-host of Hidden True Crime, on the Murdaugh legacy of trauma here: https://www.youtube.com/live/H4RHn8Sq8pY

Exposing the Lowest of the Low in HBO's “Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty”, Bye-Bye Brady and Dr. Phil, Alec Baldwin charged in Rust movie debacle. Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at https://www.betterhelp.com/MPM and get on your way to being your best self.

Lowest of the Low: Exposing the lowest of the low in HBO's “Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty”: I share my thoughts on the docuseries. Alex Murdaugh, who is currently on trial for the murder of his wife Maggie, and youngest son Paul, reminds me of my psychopathic father with all of the destruction his selfishness caused.

Rusted and Busted: This week, charges of involuntary manslaughter were brought in New Mexico against actor/producer Alec Baldwin and armorers Hannah Guitierrez Reid for the negligent and tragic death of cinematographer Halayna Hutchins on the set of the indie film RUST. What would a conviction look like and how would this impact the filmmaking world? I share my own story of how on-set negligence nearly cost me my head.

Bye Bye Brady: This week saw the surprise retirement of two living legends: 7 time Super Bowl Champion and GOAT quarterback Tom Brady said goodbye, again, after 23 NFL seasons, and daytime talk show icon Dr. Phil McGraw of “The Dr. Phil Show” says he will be retiring from the show after this current season ends.

Balloon?: A Chinese weather / “spy balloon” has been spotted over Billings, Montana in the United States, having many calling into question our National Security.

The Trauma Hangover - When Talking About Your Trauma Becomes Too Much, How I Reset. Jan 27, 2023

Show notes

This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at https://www.betterhelp.com/MPM and get on your way to being your best self.

In this episode of Moving Past Murder, Collier shares his personal experience of dealing with a "trauma hangover" after giving multiple interviews about the murder of his mother by his father. Collier discusses how sharing his traumatic story repeatedly took an unexpected toll on his emotional well-being and left him feeling exhausted. To combat this feeling, Collier turns to mindfulness practices to help "reset" and ground himself. Collier reflects on how he and other survivors navigate their parasocial relationships. This leads him to wonder if this "blurred line of reality" may have led Idaho 4 suspect Bryan Kohberger to potentially commit the murders of the four innocent victims.

The episode concludes with Collier sharing a list of these mindfulness practices with the audience to help others who may be dealing with similar experiences.

Ana Walshe, The Children, and What Now w/ special guest Gabrielle Fedora of True Crime Replay Jan 20, 2023

Show notes

The investigation surrounding the missing person's case of Ana Walshe took a dark turn this week when her husband, Bryan Walshe, already in police custody, was arraigned and charged with her murder. Police still have yet to recover her remains. It is now being concluded that they were possibly incinerated after being sent to a trash distribution center outside Cohasset, MA.

Detectives used the suspect’s internet search histories, blood and DNA evidence, and footage of Bryan Walshe purchasing cleaning supplies at a local Home Depot with the couple's three young children to secure the arrest warrant and indictment.

Gabrielle Fedora joins host Collier Landry in discussing this case and others. Gabby is the founder of True Crime Replay, a nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting families searching for loved ones and shedding light on existing missing person cases. Gabby channeled her own childhood story of abuse at the hands of a family member into the work she is currently doing to help others.

A Not So Private Idaho - Dr. Danielle Slakoff on Media Ethics in Idaho Four Case, True Crime Content and the Families Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

A Not So Private Idaho - Dr. Danielle Slakoff on Media Sensationalization in Idaho Four Case, Ethical True Crime and the Families Left Picking Up the Pieces

What is it about true crime that leaves audiences with a nearly insatiable appetite for the bleeding headlines? With the recent cases involving the "Idaho Four" and the apprehension of suspect Bryan Kohberger, and now the Ana Walshe disappearance, a media-feeding frenzy has reached an almost feverish pitch.

In this episode, Dr. Danielle Slakoff, an Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at California State University, Sacramento, joins this important discussion. As a researcher, she examines how the media portrays crime and victimization, having published recent work on how true crime podcasts portray intimate partner violence.

Additional episode highlights include:

• Moving Past Murder has won the Listener's Choice award at the 2022 Signal Awards

• The eerie similarities of a mother of 3, Ana Walshe, who went missing from her Cohasset, Massachusetts' home on New Year's Day 2023. The situation directly parallels the disappearance of Collier's mother, Noreen Boyle, some 33 years ago.

About the University of Idaho 4 Case: Bryan Kohberger is currently The Suspect in the Idaho 4 Murder Case. The Idaho 4 Murder case is a quadruple murder that took place in the state of Idaho in November 2022. Four college students from the University of Idaho were found dead in their off-campus house. and the authorities launched a massive investigation to find the culprit. The case gained nationwide attention, and eventually, the police arrested Bryan Kohberger as the prime suspect.
