TSP #151 [Part One] - Scott Spivey Investigation: The Case of the Missing Crime Scene Log
[Part One of Two] In Part One of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell begin sharing their reporting on the Horry County Police Department’s internal affairs investigation into the what went down during the (shockingly corrupt) Scott Spivey case. In September 2023, 33-year-old Scott Spivey was shot to death on Camp Swamp Road in Loris, South Carolina, by North Myrtle Beach business owner Weldon Boyd and Weldon’s friend Bradley Williams. After calling his mama and his lawyer from the scene, Weldon made another call before police arrived: to Horry County Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland. On this episode, we break down the investigation within the investigation. It’s not enough that Horry County police repeatedly broke protocol to help protect Weldon from being held accountable for Scott’s death, seasoned investigators on the scene completely mismanaged one of the most basic things to an investigation: the crime scene log. Was it sloppy police work? Or was it yet another way to help a buddy?

TSP #150 [Part Two] - Revealing The Receipts On How 'Egg Lady' Was Removed From Murdaugh Jury
[Part Two of Two] How does a pro–Alex Murdaugh troll theory end up in The New Yorker? In Part Two of Episode #150, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell trace exactly that. James Lasdun's May 26 New Yorker story leaned into a years-old lie: that LUNASHARK®, Clerk Becky Hill, and attorney Mark Tinsley conspired to plant an "anonymous" email and get the “Egg Lady” booted from Murdaugh's jury. None of it is true — and this week, the receipts come out. For the first time, Mandy and Liz reveal the full story of whistleblower Christine Avery: the real timeline, what the team actually told her, demonstrating how the "Plan A / Plan B" framing falls apart. They expose the "narrative washing" that smuggled Christine's name onto a “Beach v. Greg Parker” witness list, the felon's Ai-generated "slop" and the lazy reporting that let a manufactured theory go national. As South Carolina barrels toward Murdaugh 2.0, this is how disinformation gets dressed up as journalism — and how we plan to punch back.

TSP #150 [Part One] - How Does a Pro-Alex Murdaugh Troll Theory End Up in The New Yorker?
[Part One of Two] In Part One of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down James Lasdun's Becky Hill piece and explain why it reads less like journalism and more like the latest brick in Team Murdaugh's three-year 'narrative-laundering' project. From the recycled "pizza conspiracy" to the false claim that Mark Tinsley has known Christine Avery since 2020, this is what happens when a writer for the New Yorker wanders onto a Murdaugh chessboard perhaps without realizing he's a playing piece. Mandy and Liz connect the dots between Dick Harpootlian's subpoena-power threats, Greg Parker's attorneys, the Egg Lady juror's book written with a convicted felon, and the recycled smears designed to discredit the credible voices standing between Alex Murdaugh and an acquittal at his retrial.Receipts are coming in Part Two — out Friday.

TSP #149 [Part Two] - Alex Murdaugh Madness 2.0: Suing the Hand That Got Him A New Trial + Death Penalty On The Table?
[Part Two of Two] Read this with a Film Noir voice in your head (Think Maltese Falcon or China Town) 🙂 It all came down at ten a.m. on the thirteenth of May. Five to nothing. A murder conviction, vanished like smoke through a cracked window. And just like that, the Murdaugh circus rolled back into town led by capital city Dick and bow-tie Jim, hitting every television set in America, peddling the same tired song: no motive, no weapon, holes like Swiss cheese. Then they filed a curious little lawsuit in federal court, suing the very clerk who handed their client, Alex Murdaugh, his second act. Funny business all around, but not a paycheck in sight. The Attorney General talks death penalty; everybody hollers politics. Somewhere a mysterious juror cooks collard greens and the Egg Lady wants the records unsealed… and let the record show, so do we. Meanwhile, shady lawyers keep circling Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, hoping to silence the dames who won't stop talking. The dust hasn't settled. The shadows run long. And in this town, the truth still walks the streets alone.

TSP #149 [Part One] - Will Accused Murderer Lee Gilley Actually Get Asylum After Creating An International Diplomatic Debacle In Italy?
As Houston, Texas accused murderer Lee Gilley awaits word on his fate after fleeing to Milan, Italy, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are on the case. Will Italy grant him asylum, or treat him as a criminal to be extradited back to the United States? New details have emerged about Lee's plan to escape his Houston trial for allegedly killing his wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, and their unborn child in October 2024. Lee's brother, Matt Gilley, testified that he didn't help Lee flee on May 1, but said Lee looked different at their mother's deathbed in April — heavier, bearded, with long hair. Matt's Zoom testimony came in an emergency custody hearing for Lee and Christa's two young children. Christa's family fears Lee's relatives will take the kids to Europe, yet a Harris County judge ordered the children returned to Texas. Meanwhile, two of Lee's attorneys move to withdraw and we dig into the 1983 US–Italy Extradition Treaty while Lee’s Italian attorney Monica Grosso says that Lee is exhausted from all his recent travels. We’re exhausted too, but Let's Dive in… 🥽 🦈 Join the LUNASHARK Premium Community - Together we go further ☀️ Listen to Reset Stories from Marta Mondelli Christa’s Family GoFundMe Ambassador Fertitta’s US Mission in Italy Episode Links See the incredible support of Mandy on May 15 🩷 Governor Abbott Signs Damon Allen Act Into Law At Safer Houston Summit - Sept 13, 2021 📰 “Sealed records signal possible shakeup for accused killer Lee Gilley's defense team as extradition decision looms” - Click2Houston, May 13, 2026 📰 “Why Lawyer for Texas Man Accused of Strangling Pregnant Wife Insists She Died from Something Else (Exclusive)” - People, May 7, 2026 📰 “Authorities question family of Houston fugitive Lee Gilley after he fled U.S. to seek asylum in Italy” - Houston Chronicle, May 14, 2026 📰 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Learn more about LUNASHARK Premium Membership at lunashark.supercast.com to get bonus episodes like our Premium Dives, Wherever It Leads..., Girl Talk, and Soundbites that help you Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight.

TSP #148 - Alex Murdaugh to Get New Trial in Murders of Wife and Son + Mandy & Liz Break Down the 5-0 Reversal
It happened on a Wednesday… Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the 27-page Alex Murdaugh murder conviction reversal that essentially boils down to two words: Blame Becky. They wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that money seems to help a defendant's chances at the state's highest court — while sticking to their belief that the evidence still points to one person who went down to the kennels and lied about it. In a unanimous 5-0 decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court reversed Alex Murdaugh's double-murder conviction, ruling that Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill "placed her fingers on the scales of justice." They also unpack the court's new guardrails on financial-crimes testimony at retrial, including the gutting decision to call Tony Satterfield's words unfairly prejudicial. Plus: reactions from Eric Bland, Mark Tinsley, AG Alan Wilson, and AG candidate David Pascoe. Same case. Same evidence. Same liar. Round Two starts now.

TSP #147 [Part Two] - Latest Lawsuit Against HCPD: Retaliations, Coverups and Suspicious Promotions for Scott Spivey Investigators
[Part Two] Join us May 15 at 10am in York, SC for Mandy’s Beach v. Parker non-party contempt hearing — wear pink. And we start with wild BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS about Lee Gilley’s flight to and detention in Turin, Italy as Texas Judge Peebles orders he forfeit his $1M bond. Then on On Part Two of #147, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into a stunning new lawsuit filed by former Horry County Police Captain Danny Furr — yes, that Danny Furr, the detective who arrested JP Miller's pastor daddy Reginald Wayne Miller back in 2006. Represented by attorney Jonny McCoy, Furr's 35-page complaint paints HCPD as a sloppy, retaliatory, good-old-boy operation that punishes anyone who tells the truth. We unpack the bizarre "un-arrest" of Harold Worley's son-in-law Thomas Wade Long, the suspiciously timed promotions of officers tied to the Scott Spivey investigation, Chief Chris Leonhardt's hiring of his childhood friend as captain, secret internal affairs investigations launched in retaliation, and the moment Furr was allegedly banished from county property after going to county council. The case is instructive — and infuriating.

TSP #147 [Part One] - Accused Murderer Lee Gilley Uses ‘Fake’ Belgian Passport to Flee Country Ahead of Trial, Feds Say
Lee Gilley — the Houston man accused of murdering his wife Christa Bauer Gilley and their unborn baby — has fled the country… to Milan, Italy! On today's episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down how a capital murder defendant out on $1 million bond cut off his ankle monitor on a Friday night, flew to Canada, then to Milan on fake documents under the alias "LeJeune Jean Luc Olivier," and is now begging Italy for asylum to dodge a death penalty Texas wasn't even seeking. How did Harris County pre-trial services miss this for three full days? Why did prosecutors barely fight bond in the first place? And what does it mean that Lee hired Dick DeGuerin — the lawyer behind the defenses of Robert Durst and David Koresh? Plus: the "Unicorn Killer" precedent that took years to resolve, the lies hiding in Lee's own polygraph, and the war on women playing out in Houston courtrooms.
