About the episode
Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong speaks with Wall Street Journal national affairs reporter and New York Times bestselling author Valerie Bauerlein to discuss the whirlwind case of Alex Murdaugh. In 2023, Alex – a respected attorney and patriarch of the ultra-powerful Murdaugh family dynasty – was convicted of murder in the deaths of his wife, Maggie, and his son, Paul. Candice and Valerie discuss what it was like to be in the courtroom, what Valerie learned about Alex and the Murdaugh family’s influence in South Carolina’s lowcountry, and how her reporting and exclusive access came together in her book, The Devil at his Elbow: Alex Murdaugh and the Fall of a Southern Dynasty.Be the first to know about Wondery’s newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!
