  • Resumen

  • Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight is the intersection of True Crime, journalism and systematic corruption. Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking their style of reporting beyond Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators. We expose the truth wherever it leads giving voice to victims like Mica Francis, Sara Lynn Colucci, and Christa Gilley, while still pursuing justice for all the victims you've met so far like Stephen Smith, Dallas Stoller, and others. True Sunlight is the antithesis of True crime. True Sunlight values accuracy over "access journalism". True Sunlight is shed with empathy — not exploitation. True Sunlight was created as a matter of public service — not just entertainment. While the name of the podcast has changed, our mission, values and team have not. We are simply expanding our horizons while continuing to shine a much needed bright light on crime and corruption wherever it appears. Ranked #1 and #2 globally in 2021 and 2023 respectively as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight provides unmatched insight into the crimes and criminals exposed on MMP and dives deep into new instances of where crime meets corruption across the US. We empower listeners to understand their legal and judicial systems through investigative journalism while providing tools to hold agencies and public figures accountable in order to change those systems for the better.

  • TSP #91 - The Coverup that Was Never Questioned: What Really Happened When Wayne Miller Was Accused Of Sexual Assault In The 1980s

    TSP #91 - The Coverup that Was Never Questioned: What Really Happened When Wayne Miller Was Accused Of Sexual Assault In The 1980s
    Mar 13 2025
    This week, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — with the help of reporter and researcher Beth Braden — share Part One of the elusive 1989 WPDE investigative news report on the sexual allegations against JP Miller’s father (exclusively obtained by LunaShark Media through a whole lot of peskiness. Up until today this news segment hasn’t been available to the public … possibly since 1993 when it last aired in the Florence and Myrtle Beach areas. Today, we dive in deep on previously unknown information about alleged sex predator Wayne Miller and the cover-up that he and his colleagues appeared to take part in. Also on the show, Horry County Police Department reopens its (pathetic) investigation into the 2023 shooting death of North Carolina man Scott Spivey. On Wednesday — just one day after the resignation of Horry County assistant police chief Brandon Strickland — Horry County announced that there were unresolved questions in the closed case and it was being referred to the FBI. What’s weird is that Strickland appears to have been friends with at one of the shooters, North Myrtle Beach restaurant owner Weldon Boyd. And what’s even more strange is the case already underwent a review by SLED and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson’s office. Does does this mean there’s a chance of Scott’s family seeing justice?

  • TSP #90 - JP And Wayne Miller’s Churchy-Business Kingdom Crumbles With Jane Doe No. 2’s Abuse Allegations In New Lawsuit

    TSP #90 - JP And Wayne Miller’s Churchy-Business Kingdom Crumbles With Jane Doe No. 2’s Abuse Allegations In New Lawsuit
    Mar 6 2025
    This week, investigative journalists — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — broke news that a second Jane Doe case had been filed against Myrtle Beach pastor John-Paul Miller, accusing him of sexually abusing a 14-year-old student at Cathedral Hall Academy (formerly known as Grand Strand Academy), a school owned JP’s father Wayne Miller, who is named as a co-defendant in the case. In 1999, when JP Miller was 20 years old he allegedly molested the child after inviting her to play piano with him alone in the church sanctuary. The girl told a teacher about what JP allegedly did and instead of the school offering the child help, she was forced to write “I will not lie about JP Miller” 5,000 times. Mandy and Liz break down the latest allegations against the Millers and share text messages between JP, his ex-wife and Mica from 2022 or before that addresses the child sexual abuse allegations against JP. Also on the show, part one of the history of the Millers’ alleged scheme to use their school as a staging ground for abuse. Plus an update on the Justice for Mica protesters and JP’s frivolous lawsuits against them.

  • TSP #89 - ‘I’m a survivor’: Lawyer Behind Explosive Lawsuit Accusing JP Miller Of Rape Has No Fear + Pastor Disaster In Court This Week

    TSP #89 - ‘I’m a survivor’: Lawyer Behind Explosive Lawsuit Accusing JP Miller Of Rape Has No Fear + Pastor Disaster In Court This Week
    Feb 27 2025
    Investigative journalists — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — broke major news this past Tuesday with the announcement that Myrtle Beach pastor JP Miller has been accused of raping a 15-year-old girl at his father’s church, Cathedral Baptist Church (formerly All Nations Church), in 1998 and again sexually assaulting her in 2023. The lawsuit was filed by Jane Doe No. 1 against John-Paul Miller, Reginald Wayne Miller, and their churches, including Solid Rock Ministries. Mandy and Liz share details of the lawsuit while connecting the dots on what was happening in JP’s life at the time. Plus, they sit for an interview with Rock Hill attorney Randy Hood of McGowan, Hood, Felder and Phillips law firm, who is representing Jane, to learn more about Jane’s case and what the world of litigating institutional child sexual abuse looks like. Hood is no stranger to suing churches on behalf of sexual assault victims. He also represents clients in the case against Morningstar Fellowship Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina. On Tuesday, Mandy and Liz also broke the very important news that attorney Mark Tinsley from the Murdaugh Murders trial — aka Zero Dark Tinsley and Tiger Tinsley — is also representing Jane in her case against the Millers. Also on the show, JP Miller appeared in Magistrate Court on Wednesday for a hearing related to seven of his cases against protesters and … well, he did a terrible job, as expected… The premium extended episode includes a play-by-play featuring the most pertinent highlights.

Probably one of the most well researched podcasts

I am thoroughly enjoying this podcast. I can't believe that I was so right about the father. I knew nothing about any of this and said from the beginning that this mystery is a case of familial homicide. Mandy expertly picks apart the investigation at every stage and shows how the police and various agencies failed in each case. I love how she puts it in relative order and places details so we can tie them back mentally to previous clues without needing an intricate clue board to keep up with it.

Now, as for the voice complaints: Mandy is the one that brings my attention to her voice. I did not notice it until she had highlighted those critiques at the beginning of all the episodes thus far. I don't have a problem with her voice, but she does sound disinterested. She brought up the Kardashian reference and I can't "unhear" it. I feel if she would move beyond bringing it up, the critique won't stand out so much. I really enjoy this journalist and feel she will do amazingly large things and be a credit to justice everywhere. Now, POD ON!

Great coverage of the Murdaugh scandals

I live in Savannah and have been following this story since Mallory’s death. Mandy has done a fantastic job covering this case and is a stellar investigative reporter. She’s doing her best adjusting to a medium (podcasting) she probably never expected to be jumping into. She’s not a professional voice actress people. Bless your heart to all the folks giving her a tough time.

Great listen

I am enjoying this podcast. Please don’t listen to what people say about your voice. I love that you say this is the facts we know. You never state your opinion but just the facts. Keep up the great work, I don’t think this story is over yet.

AMAZING PODCAST AND DELIVERY

What an amazing podcast. Everything from in depth investigation and ESPECIALLY the delivery. Matney's voice is perfect and for those rude people on here that have reviewed with nasty, hateful remarks about it are known as Karen's, negative nellies, and just plain hateful! Keep on Matney ~~ We love you and your voice
