    True Sunlight – Luna Shark

    Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight is the intersection of True Crime, journalism and systematic corruption.  Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking their style of reporting beyond Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators. We expose the truth wherever it leads giving voice to victims like Mica Francis, Sara Lynn Colucci, and Christa Gilley, while still pursuing justice for all the victims you’ve met so far like Stephen Smith, Dallas Stoller, and others.
    True Sunlight is the antithesis of True crime. True Sunlight values accuracy over “access journalism”. True Sunlight is shed with empathy — not exploitation. True Sunlight was created as a matter of public service — not just entertainment. While the name of the podcast has changed, our mission, values and team have not. We are simply expanding our horizons while continuing to shine a much needed bright light on crime and corruption wherever it appears.
    Ranked #1 and #2 globally in 2021 and 2023 respectively as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight provides unmatched insight into the crimes and criminals exposed on MMP and dives deep into new instances of where crime meets corruption across the US.

    We empower listeners to understand their legal and judicial systems through investigative journalism while providing tools to hold agencies and public figures accountable in order to change those systems for the better.

    TSP #69 - Alex Murdaugh’s Biggest Loss Yet? Buster Triples Down on Defamation Claims + Police Kept Public Info from Mica Francis Before Her Death Oct 03, 2024
    Show notes

    Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell celebrate Alex Murdaugh’s biggest loss yet … one that will effectively keep him behind bars for the rest of his life.

    Also on the show, Buster Murdaugh triples down on his defamation claims against Netflix and Hampton County reporter Michael Dewitt. In a federal filing this week, Buster argues that — though he left out the context of Dewitt’s words in his original filing in South Carolina — including all of Dewitt’s interview on “Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal,” actually helps strengthen his claim. Plus, the drama outside Solid Rock Ministries church in Myrtle Beach has NOT calmed down. On Sunday, pastor JP Miller was accused of assaulting a protester dressed as Jesus, and protesters were accused of harassing JP’s alleged paramour by shouting “demeaning” comments at her.

    Mandy and Liz also took a look at the FOIA logs for Myrtle Beach and Horry County police departments to see who was seeking information on Mica Francis. And what they found was shocking: Before her death, Mica was seeking public information from the police … and they gave her next to nothing.

    TSP #68 - Legal Bullying From JP Miller and Greg Parker + Russell Laffitte Appeal + A Bestiality Accusation? Sep 26, 2024
    Show notes

    Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take on the Good Ole Boys once again, starting with lawyers who knowingly file frivolous lawsuits. Last week Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller and his attorney Russell B. Long filed a defamation complaint against a paralegal who said he called her law office in search of a divorce attorney who could “destroy” his wife, Mica Francis, whose body was found in a North Carolina swamp last April.

    Not only is it laughable that JP believes this hurts his already-bad reputation, the complaint doesn’t articulate that anything the paralegal stated as fact is untrue. Also on the show, a newly released report from Horry County Police Department shows that JP Miller was accused of bestiality this past June. What?!?! We'll share all that we know about this public document and our ongoing fight with Horry County to release all that can be according to SC state law.

    And Mandy and Liz take a look at the checkered past of Mica Francis’ psychiatrist … Dr. Duchesne... the one who seemed to take JP’s narrative as fact. Note: Mandy and Liz both pronounce Dr. "Duchesne" as they interpreted/researched it but its the same person...

    Plus, an update on Russell Laffitte’s Federal Appeal Hearing and another South Carolina judge’s conduct is raising questions in the Beach case.


    So much to get into... so let's dive in...

    TSP #67 - Medical Records Expose JP Miller’s Influence Over Mica’s Mental Health + Part Two of Chloe Bess and the Bowen Turner Hearings Sep 19, 2024
    Show notes

    Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their coverage of two appeal hearings heard last week in the case of thrice-accused rapist Bowen Turner and his sweetheart plea deal.


    Today. listeners will get to hear Part Two of the Chloe Bess interview, where she talks about what it was like being in the courtroom and on her thoughts about how the system continues to coddle and make excuses for Bowen, who sexually assaulted her as a teenager.


    Also on the show, Mandy and Liz begin sharing their findings from the stack of medical records leaked to them in the Mica Francis case, starting with the first few months of 2018, the year of Mica’s first alleged suicide attempt. From the get-go, Mica’s marriage to Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller was defined by a questionable mental health diagnosis that continues to plague her memory to this day, five months after her death. Records from January through March 2018 show that Mica had immediate doubts about this diagnosis and a — despite her husband’s insistence that she remain compliant with her medication — JP himself was playing pharmacist.

    TSP #66 - Why This Week’s Hearing in The Bowen Turner Case is a Big Deal Moment + Survivor Chloe Bess Speaks Up For Victims Sep 12, 2024
    Show notes

    The Bowen Turner case in South Carolina has been one for the outrage records. Listeners across the country have been horrified as they watched the justice system coddle Bowen over and over while the thrice-accused rapist gave his second, third and fourth chances the middle finger. But now, something good could come from the case — a case that included the horrific bullying of Dallas Stoller, one of his accusers. Bullying that resulted in her death.


    Something good might come from Bowen’s 2022 sham of a plea deal hearing — orchestrated by a cunning lawyer-legislator, executed by a prosecutor blinded by ambition and approved by a Good Ole Boy judge. Change might be coming because of an appeal filed by another one of Bowen’s accusers, Chloe Bess.


    Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at the historic filing and what went down during oral arguments in front of the state Court of Appeals on Tuesday. The state’s victims bill of rights affords victims the opportunity to be heard in court. In trials, victims can testify before a verdict is rendered — before a potential conviction. But in plea deals they’ve been restricted to being heard only after the judge has accepted the pleading — only AFTER the conviction. Chloe Bess and her legal team are trying to change that … to finally make victims’ rights MEANINGFUL.

    TSP #65 - Leaked Medical Records Show Mica Francis’ Confusion Over Her Diagnosis + Bowen Turner Case Heads for First Appeal Sep 05, 2024
    Show notes

    Leaked medical records from Mica Francis’ in-patient and outpatient visits to mental health facilities were leaked to the public over the past week, and investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are diving in. According to the records — some of which were sent directly to Luna Shark Media and others that were posted online by a TikToker sympathetic to JP Miller’s plight — Mica was confused about her diagnosis and its symptoms.

    At the same time, these records raise questions about how Mica was being treated and where clinicians were getting some of their information about her alleged behavior. In one report, the clinician notes that Mica recognized the need to “listen to her husband when he raises concerns.”

    Also on the show, one of the two appeals in the Bowen Turner case is set to be heard and it’s a big deal.

    Next week attorneys representing one of Bowen’s victims — whom he pleaded guilty to assaulting — will argue that the prosecution and defenses deprived her from her constitutional right to be present at Bowen’s plea hearing. How the court rules could have a lasting impact on the future of victims’ rights in South Carolina. We will broadcast the hearing LIVE for Luna Shark Premium members next Tuesday at 10 am ET... So mark your calendars...

    TSP #64 - 'How Selfish And Ungodly’: What JP Miller’s ‘Evidence’ Says About Mica’s Mental Health (Part Two) + Murdaugh Update Aug 29, 2024
    Show notes

    Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their look into the Mica Francis case with Part Two of their deep dive into the pile of “evidence” her estranged husband — Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller — filed in her probate case.

    The evidence was meant to support JP’s claims that he was a good husband and not the cause of Mica’s death this past spring. Instead, Mandy and Liz are finding that the evidence — when pieced together — provides a disturbing look at the early days of the couple’s marriage. From the very beginning, JP seems to have seized on Mica’s alleged bipolar disorder diagnosis and appears to have used it as a way to contain and control Mica.

    Also on today’s episode, the Alex Murdaugh Clown Show is coming back to town. This week, jilted Juror 785 and Juror 630 make their television premier as they help Team Murdaugh manipulate the headlines ahead of Alex’s hearing in the state Supreme Court for his conviction murder conviction appeal.


    We are also very excited for our Cups Up At Coco’s On The Beach September 28th at 5pm. We’ll toast Cups Up to Summer with a little low-key summer beach bash, book signing, and happy hour. Mix, mingle and bring your copy of Blood On Their Hands to get it signed. We’ll share some laughs, and raise a toast to a wildly busy summer.

    TSP #63 - ‘The Scariest Thing Of Our Entire Lives’: The Horrifying Truth Revealed From JP Miller’s Evidence - Part One Aug 22, 2024
    Show notes

    Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue their in-depth coverage of the Mica Francis case.

    Earlier this month, exhibits filed with Horry County Probate Court by Mica’s estranged husband, Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller, were made available to the public. To JP Miller, they are evidence that Mica Miller was a sick woman and he only wanted the best for her — that her estrangement from him was the result of family pressure and not because of anything she felt.

    He is adamant that he bears no responsibility in her April 27 death. But does the evidence show what JP says it does?


    Over the next few episodes, Mandy and Liz will analyze the exhibits piece by piece and discuss what this newly revealed information actually says about JP’s relationship with Mica.

    In Part One, they explore the first two months of Mica’s marriage to JP and specifically the events that occurred in the 30 days between Mica’s surgery on Dec. 1, 2017, and their church wedding at the end of the year. JP maintains that Mica experienced a bout of post-anesthetic psychosis and that the effects of this lasted in some form or other until her death. But is that really what happened? A look at emails and texts from that time seem to point to something else … and that something looks a whole lot like coercive control.

    Also on the show, a FOIA request from Luna Shark reveals new information in Mica’s case. In February of this year, Mica Francis reached out to the South Carolina Secretary of State’s Office to report that JP had allegedly stolen her notary seal.


    Premium Members get an extended episode with analysis of the so-called “undecipherable email” from 2017 that JP claims shows the depth of Mica’s break from reality....

    TSP #62 - 'They Feared He Had Killed and Buried Me Somewhere’: New 911 Calls in Mica Francis Case Reveal Haunting Details Aug 15, 2024
    Show notes

    Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are once again forced to scrap their plans for an episode topic because of breaking news.

    On Tuesday, TikTok user JusticeNTruth4SCcourts posted never-before published 911 calls from Mica Francis and her estranged husband Pastor JP Miller. This caught Mandy’s and Liz’s attention because they had FOIA’d Horry County for just about everything one can think of or related to this case and yet these calls were not disclosed to us. This public agency said to us that they gave all they found....? Are the police protecting themselves and violating public information laws? Or is this trove of calls now part of a bigger investigation into what led to Mica’s death in April?

    Mandy and Liz break down the new calls and what they mean to the timeline.

    They also consider new information revealed by both Mica and JP and how it fits into the bigger picture. What role — if any — did JP’s oldest son play in the harassment Mica was experiencing in February, March and April? And did Mica actually sign the power of attorney that granted JP complete authority over her medical decisions?


    The deeper the rabbit hole goes, the more sunlight Mandy and Liz seek to bring in this case.

    TSP #61 - JP Miller Airs More Dirty Laundry... Was It an Attempt to Pressure Mica’s Family into a Settlement? Aug 01, 2024
    Show notes

    After Monday’s settlement was announced between Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller and the family of his estranged wife, Mica Francis, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at what led up to this moment.


    For the past two weeks, JP Miller has gone on a media tour … and when that tour didn’t seem to get the reaction he wanted out of the public, he appears to have made a decision: It’s time to post the recording from the night of March 11, when JP discovered that Mica was with another man. And not just that! Another video was posted: the full two-hour recording from JP’s NewsNation interview, in which JP’s comments about Mica’s family — which were edited out from the broadcast — could now be heard. Both recordings were posted by TrueCrimeRI, the mysterious TikToker who seems to have partnered with JP in an alleged effort to get “Justice for Mica.” As JP and his circle publicly celebrate the settlement — and celebrate the call from Mica’s family to end the Justice for Mica protests outside Solid Rock at Market Common Church— we are learning so much more about the fight that Mica had ahead of her in her divorce if she had lived …

    TSP #60 - A Breakdown of JP Miller’s Media Tour + Mica Francis’ Best Friend Wants Accountability Jul 25, 2024
    Show notes

    Today, investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at everything JP Miller has said on the record thus far and offer an analysis of how his statements jibe and conflict with each other and with police and court records.

    Over the past month, Pastor JP Miller of Solid Rock Ministries in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has taken to TikTok videos to combat what he says are lies being told about him after his wife Mica's death.

    Over the past two weeks, though, those videos have come down and JP appears to be on a media tour of sorts, starting with a two-hour interview he gave to TikTok user FloDaddy, a sit-down interview with a Myrtle Beach newspaper and a nationally televised hour-long segment on NewsNation.

    Also on the show, Mica Francis’ best friend Charlotte Korn returns to discuss her thoughts on the cease and desist letter JP’s lawyer sent her (along with a demand for evidence) and talk about what she thinks of JP’s interviews.
