Published: Wed Aug 10 2022
Description
The Plyler sisters were just little girls when Alex Murdaugh and Russell Laffitte entered their world. Now, more than 15 years later, they are discovering all the ways these two men (allegedly) secretly enriched themselves off their settlement money. We talk with Alania Plyler about what it was like having Russell Laffitte as her conservator and the betrayal she now feels knowing what he was doing the entire time. Plus legal analysis on what duties a conservator is supposed to perform from Eric Bland. The Murdaugh Murders Podcast is created by Mandy Matney and Luna Shark Productions.
