In each episode of Crimes of the Centuries, award-winning journalist Amber Hunt will examine a case that’s lesser known today but was huge when it happened. The cases explored span the centuries and each left a mark. Some made history by changing laws. Others were so shocking they changed society.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-09T20:22:35.066214+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689"},"episode":{"title":"S6: Murdaugh Country: Future Crimes of the Centuries?","slug":"s6-murdaugh-country-future-crimes-of-the-centuries","published_at":"2026-05-22T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689/s6-murdaugh-country-future-crimes-of-the-centuries","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/crimes-of-the-centuries-1330689","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8904951","audio_url":"https://pdst.fm/e/clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/prfx.byspotify.com/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8904951.mp3?modified=1779121240&sid=5034723&source=rss","summary":"You've heard the name. You've read the headlines. But the Alex Murdaugh story is bigger than one man's spectacular fall — bigger, even, than two people's horrific deaths. It's about the century of institutional rot that made it all possible. In this bonus episode of \"Future Crimes of the Centuries?\", Amber looks beyond the expected retrial to the people whose stories got buried under the spectacle: a housekeeper who died at the Murdaugh estate and whose sons were swindled, a 19-year-old whose suspicious death was treated as a traffic accident for years, and the clerk of court so convinced the system would protect a powerful man that she broke it herself — and may have handed him exactly what she was trying to prevent.","meta_description":"You've heard the name.
