Nancy Guthrie and Alex Murdaugh: A Kidnapping in Freefall and a Conviction on the Ropes

Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Hidden Killers to break apart two major cases defined by institutional breakdowns — the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation and the Alex Murdaugh Supreme Court appeal. In the Guthrie case, eleven days have passed with no suspects. Sheriff Chris Nanos released the crime scene early, grounded his thermal imaging aircraft for five hours over a personal dispute with the pilot, and spent ten days telling the public that critical doorbell footage was permanently gone — until the FBI recovered it from backend data. The Guthrie family has bypassed law enforcement entirely, communicating with the alleged kidnappers through Instagram and hiring private security. The FBI released surveillance footage through Director Kash Patel's personal X account. A man was detained in Rio Rico for eight hours and released without charges. The forty-one-minute gap between the camera going dark at 1:47 a.m. and Nancy's pacemaker losing Bluetooth at 2:28 a.m. is the strongest forensic data point — but bridging it to a defendant remains the central problem. Faddis assesses what a prosecutor can build from what exists and what the investigative failures mean for civil liability. In the Murdaugh appeal, the South Carolina Supreme Court justices aimed their toughest questions at the prosecution. Becky Hill's perjury conviction has rewritten the jury tampering landscape. Chief Justice Kittredge called the corroboration of tampering allegations "striking" and challenged the state on Rule 404(b), noting the trial court excluded nothing. Jim Griffin argued there's no direct evidence — no eyewitnesses, no weapons, no biological transfer from a close-range shotgun blast. Faddis reads the bench and explains which of the three possible outcomes today's hearing pointed toward — and why a federal appeal may follow no matter what.
