TSP #94 - Buster Murdaugh Claims ‘Sinister, Depraved and Menacing’ Depiction Of His Family; Court Docs Say + Why The Latest 911 Call From JP Miller Scares Us

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share updates (1:19) about South Carolina’s thrice-accused rapist Bowen Turner and his quest to get off the sex offender list, plus the latest in the (2:30) Christa Bauer case in Houston, where her husband, Lee Gilley, stands accused of murdering her and her unborn baby. (3:34) Also on today’s show, Mandy and Liz comb through Buster Murdaugh’s amended defamation complaint against Warner Brothers and share their thoughts on Buster’s arguments and the challenges he and his defendants might face. (39:30) Plus, Myrtle Beach churchy business bro “Pastor” John-Paul Miller is at it again. The LUNASHARK Media team FOIA’d for a 911 call JP placed from his newest mid-scandal church on St. Patrick’s Day. Turns out, JP — who stands accused of raping one child and sexually assaulting another — has some sort of homeschool operation happening in a rough-looking strip mall … or at least that’s what he told police. Is JP running a quasi school? Or was he just saying this in the hopes of once again getting his revenge against protesters, who were filming him from the public parking lot? And finally, a quick update about Myrtle Beach Police Department’s announcement that it reopened and reclosed the (36:22) Chris Skinner case.
