James Lasdun, the author of The Family Man, Blood and Betrayal In The House of Murdaugh, joins Impact.
At the heart of the Murdaugh case lies the shocking act of a father allegedly killing his son, Paul Murdaugh. This tragic narrative is not just about the crime itself but also about understanding the psychological and emotional landscape that leads to such an act.
Lasdun highlights the rarity of a father killing an adult son, noting that such occurrences usually involve younger children. This raises the question: what drives a seemingly loving father to commit such a heinous act?
Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Now they cover true crime, past and present, from the southeast region of the U.S.
