Why Were We Glued to the Murdaugh Murders?

2023-03-07T16:03:24-08:00

Wealth, murder and abuse of privilege; the true crime story with a moral. Key Points The Murdaugh case has had the appeal of true crime, amplified by wealth and privilege. True crime can increase perceptions of efficacy by providing strategies for protection and survival.

Between true crime documentaries, TV shows, podcasts, and the sleuthing of “internet detectives,” people can’t seem to get enough true crime.
