Podcast
True Sunlight
Hosted by LUNASHARK · EN
Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast,
(which inspired Hulu's Original Series Murdaugh: Death in the Family), 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 Bauer 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 #156 [Part Two] - Reasonable Fear of an Unreasonable Justice System: More on Mandy's $176,500 Punishment Without Process
6d ago00:48:04Tap to summarize[Part Two of Two] In Part Two, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down exactly how Parker's attorneys weaponized a judge's old-fashioned notions of what a scared woman looks like — and why South Carolina's appointed judiciary has no reason to care what you think about it… Demand better! Attorneys for a billionaire gas station owner billed $310,000 — the cost of approximately two murder defenses — in secret billings – to punish a journalist for wanting to feel safe at her own deposition. A deposition that was attempted in March and happened in April. Judge R. Keith Kelly obliged them, ordering Mandy to pay $171,500 in attorneys fees and a $5,000 fine to coerce a deposition that already happened back in April. We believe that Mandy’s constitutional rights were violated and it makes us worry for all of us. The contempt charge brought by attorneys who represented Alex Murdaugh's convicted co-conspirators and decided by the same judge who lets Gregg Roman continue to dodge his deposition… the lesson is clear: EVADE SERVICE at all costs and skate free.

1w ago00:53:32Tap to summarize[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell react to a stunning contempt ruling ordering Mandy to pay a $5,000 fine and $171,500 for billionaire Greg Parker's legal fees — a sum greater than what many murder defendants pay for their entire defense, and a penalty whose line-item breakdown has been sealed from Mandy and the public. Mandy argues the ruling has nothing to do with a missed deposition and everything to do with punishing a journalist who refused to stay quiet. David Moses reads directly from South Carolina contempt law to expose how the order may exceed its own legal authority. Then Liz breaks down the bigger picture: the evidence connecting Greg Parker to Gregg Roman, the photos of Mallory Beach's dead body, and the documentary that used them — a puzzle hiding in plain sight while Parker's attorneys keep everyone focused on Mandy.

FEED DROP: Wherever It Leads... Milan: 'Festina Lente' Making Haste Slowly Through Milano With Tour de Force Marta Mondelli
2w ago00:59:09Tap to summarizeWe're taking a break from True Sunlight this week, but we hope you enjoy this episode of 'Wherever It Leads... Milan' Follow the show at staypes.ky/wherever Tourists sprint to Rome and Florence while one of Europe’s most alive cities hums quietly in the north — and that’s exactly what makes Milan extraordinary. This week, writer, author, and Milanese insider Marta Mondelli pulls back the curtain on a city of hidden courtyards, wooden streetcars, world-class aperitivo, and jasmine-soaked springs. She explains why cappuccino after 11am is a “crime”, why the Milanese party as hard as they work, and why spring open days unlock palaces most visitors never see. Journalist Mandy Matney and producer David Moses share their own Milan memories — late-night dumplings in Chinatown, a train through the Alps, streets packed on a Tuesday like it was Saturday — while Marta weighs in on Lee Gilley’s asylum claim in nearby Turin and Italy’s growing conversation around feminicide. Plus: Lake Como, Turin, and the art of spending your tourism money where it actually matters.

TSP #155 [Part Two] - Pink in the Courtroom: Why Greg Parker Apparently Fears Free Speech
3w ago00:57:29Tap to summarize[Part Two of Two] Investigative journalist Mandy Matney is still processing — but she’s not shrinking. In Part Two, Mandy begins the episode reflecting on how Greg Parker’s scorched-earth legal campaign was supposed to scare her into silence and instead flipped a switch. Then David delivers a blistering First Amendment Moses Moment, calling out Parker’s attorneys for using the court as a weapon against a non-party journalist — asking what she was wearing, how many Instagram followers she has, and why she dared to eat dinner in public. And Liz Farrell breaks down Parker’s desperate venue transfer motion, which weaponizes LUNASHARK’s own Crowd the Courthouse 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 posts as evidence of jury contamination. Then we roll the tape: Debbie B. Barbier’s closing argument, Judge Kelly’s bench remarks, and the moment the courtroom turned. The billionaire’s lawyers claim billings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for the failed deposition. But Parker still can’t buy or force Mandy’s silence.

TSP #155 [Part One] - Judge McCaslin Takes the Wheel: Murdaugh Retrial Hearing Recap
3w ago01:07:14Tap to summarize[Part One of Two] The first hearing in Alex Murdaugh's retrial was supposed to signal a new era for Team Murdaugh. Dick Harpootlian promised bigger, bolder, different. What we got instead? Old Dick. Old Trick. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down every move from the June 29 scheduling hearing before Judge Debra McCaslin — the no-nonsense judge who called the warden herself, set a firm April 5, 2027 trial date, and wasn't about to let Dick charm, delay, or bully his way through her courtroom. From the shackle saga to the laptop drama to Team Murdaugh’s DNA boondoggle, it's all here. Plus: what Dick's courtroom behavior may reveal about his real strategy — and why the Becky Hill federal lawsuit might not be about the money at all.

4w ago01:13:46Tap to summarizeInvestigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into the spectacular self-destruction of Weldon Boyd's case against attorney Mark "the Tiger" Tinsley—the wannabe blueberry farmer who sued the lawyer representing the family of the man he killed. Spoiler: Judge Hyman tossed it. We walk through the June 10 hearing, Desa Ballard's baffling "declaratory judgment" demand, and the question nobody could answer: what exactly are we trying to remedy here?Then there's Ken Moss's bizarre motion to recuse Judge Eugene Bubba Griffith, built on a mysterious affidavit he refuses to produce—and a subpoena aimed straight at LUNASHARK®...?

TSP #153 [Part Two] - “We All Look Like A Bag of Crap”: What One Brave Horry County Cop Revealed About The Spivey Investigation
Jun 2000:40:39Tap to summarize[Part Two of Two] Before we return to the Horry County internal affairs files, we have to talk about the civil contempt hearing on Monday June 22 at 9am in Spartanburg - see y’all there! In our opinion, team Greg Parker’s last-minute attempt to bar LUNASHARK® from filming a public courtroom tells you everything about who fears the sunlight. Then investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into CSI investigator Shellneil Tamasi, a by-the-books officer whose IA interview cuts through the spin. She didn't like towing Scott Spivey's truck with his body still inside. She questioned why guns went back untested. She noticed the rush to "self-defense" before the vehicles were even processed, and the people who didn't belong at the round table. Amid a department we've criticized hard, here's a rare bright spot: a cop who documents, and who says what too many wouldn't.

TSP #153 [Part One] — Horry County Police Interviews that Brandon Strickland and His Lawyer Bert Likely Don’t Want You to Hear
Jun 1801:06:50Tap to summarize[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into the Horry County Police Department's internal affairs investigation of the Scott Spivey case and the looming presence of former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland throughout it. Strickland insists he "stayed out of it" and "distanced" himself — yet there he is on recorded calls with Weldon Boyd admitting he was "working in the shadows," and — according to his own colleagues — sitting in on a meeting about Weldon Boyd’s phone, and walking into the evidence room to say "just give Weldon and Bradley their guns back." We break down the IA interviews and learn more about what went on in the investigation leading up to the decision not to charge Weldon and his co-shooter. The interviews shed light on why the guns weren’t tested by SLED, how investigators determined the outcome before evidence was even collect and the odd emergence of the “steroid theory.” Plus: why we'll see you inside the Spartanburg County Courthouse (Courtroom 6d) on Monday, June 22 @ 9am (The 5 Year Anniversary of MMP #1).
