The Disturbing Case Of Alex Murdaugh
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ส.ค. 2024
- This disturbing case of betrayal, greed, and an unquenchable thirst for power started in the summer of 2021 in Hampton, South Carolina, USA. A young man and a middle-aged woman were gunned down by an unknown assailant. The police made no arrests, how could they? Officially there weren’t any suspects. Strangely, the only statement law enforcement made was that they were confident there was no risk to the public. But why were they so confident? Did they have their own suspicions? This tale of deceit is like nothing else you will have heard before.

Thank you for breaking this case down and FINALLY giving us a verdict. So many Crime Channels were so thirsty to release an incomplete video with false promises of updates that never happened. When I saw you doing it, I knew it would be done right! 👏🏾 great job.
An understandable report. Thank you for the clarity.

100% I saw just 2 videos and I hit sub and the bell, I NEVER do that, but he covered a case in my country so well, better than everyone who covered it in this country! Just well done :D
Pa pa is gone.. An eye for an eye doing that to Mallory Beach without an ounce of remorse. Maggie should've left years ago. I followed every 2nd of the Mallory true crime videos. Before the slayings took place then watched every 2nd of the trial. Now he might get a new trial. If he does hopefully he'll say the persons name who helped slay his family. Just looking at Alexes beady little eyes people should've known he was untrustworthy. Snotting himself on the stand. The family photo reminds me of the Munsters
This is one of the most complex cases that I’ve ever seen, and you’ve managed to whittle it down to a perfect length while still telling the whole story, and telling it really well. Nice job guys.
Yes, I've been following this case in Australia, and you read 'this' and you read 'that', and this was a great account of the whole (well maybe not whole) story..
Great coverage of the current facts!
I followed the case, saw the Netflix series, followed the podcast about them, followed EDB, Court TV, The Harvard lawyer, but I wanted to listen to your take on it because I just love the way you tell the tales. This is the voice I'd like to hear in all the documentaries I see. ❤
When that voice says “ He spit on her and called her a bitch” it hits different
I’ve seen this case covered by many other people but you’re take is the best most impartial one yet .
Agreed!!!
how is it impartial when he labels paul as being 100% the driver in the boating accident yet he was only charged (not convicted) so he can’t be named as 100% the driver because he never went to trial for it! there are also multiple inconsistencies in the other survivors stories (including their “alex tried to brainwash/manipulate us into saying it wasn’t paul” fable). literally read any deposition from the kids/police from that night instead of regurgitating nonsense from a netflix documentary and it becomes abundantly clear that we genuinely have no idea who was driving the boat because those kids lied and omitted information so much. connor could have been the driver just as much as paul but y’all would rather stick to “all murdaugh’s are bad and terrible and evil” because it makes for a ‘better, cohesive story’ or whatever. fuck outta here with that bs
Beyond Evil - thank you so much for the upload. Its been said: The First Generation creates the wealth, the Second Generation consolidates the wealth, and the Third Generation pisses it away. There are variations on this theme.
A million thank yous for explaining this story so clearly and to the point! I really learned a lot!! 😊
never trust these rich gingers
Thanks for explaining this case all the way through. I was so confused during the trial that I just kind of ignored it. Now I have enough information to hold some sort of conversation about the case if asked.
I felt the same exact way!
So did I.
Tell me why his other son looks like the kid villain from incredibles 😂😂
Holy cow, I had to look it up. You’re absolutely correct. 😂
Poor guy looks like he'd burst into flames in the sun 🔥
Fuuuuck he does look like Syndrome 😂 aka Incredi-Boy lol
the whole family is ugly . period
gingers smh
Besides those who were victimized by members of the Murdaugh family, I imagine many folks in that community were sick of the entitled attitudes & above-the-law behavior of the Murdaugh clan. I'm sure some were relieved to see their power come to an end.
Nicely done! I watched some of the trial on TV. Your recap pulled it all together.
Horrible crime but its hard for me to feel sorry for Maggie and Paul as they weren't exactly good ,innocent people. But still didn't deserve to die that way.
Thank you for such thorough commentary. This case has disturbed the whole world.
Let’s hope that ALL rich, powerful people are held accountable for breaking laws, just like everyone else. No matter WHO you are, who you know or what position you’ve held, such as POTUS, for example.
Exactly. The War crimes of Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden need to be prosecuted.
Like the Clinton's and the Bidens!!
@@timmysixxstrings Settle down
Yeah - Clintons, Obamas and Bidens, who are ALL protected liars, pervs and criminals!
@@timmysixxstrings Like every politician. Although, I'm sure you believe your side is all squeaky clean. lol
You never disappoint. Organized, informative, and entertaining. Other channels were quick to cover this, but rushed to sloppily throw it together, desperate for views. I’m glad you took your time and did your homework. Blew everyone else out of the water, even the documentaries. Even if they somehow are able to miraculously overturn the murder verdict, it won’t make a damn days difference. I really hope they televise the trial for his financial crimes and fraud. He deserves an award for being the worst person in America.
I have watched many breakdowns of the Murdaugh crimes, but this is by far the best one.
They forgot to give him extra charges for naming his human child Buster. BUSTER. Thats criminal.
His real name is Richard, buster is just a nickname
Holy shit I laughed way too hard at this🤣🤣🤣
@Ernestine McConnell thats even worse.
Amazing video- I love your narration and your visuals are great. You're one of my favorite channels!! Thanks for your hard work!!
Thank you!
I’ve heard this story so many times but your take on it was so clear, and straight to the point . I really enjoyed ! I also enjoy your podcast ❤
The, " whole family," looks cold, and sadistic.😮
That was the best most thorough coverage 👏 thank you
This video was a masterful breakdown of this whole situation. Well done!! And it's original. Not recycled content from another channel.
I’ve watched this story so many times. This one is by far the best. So well done!! Thanks for the hard work ❤
Pretty sure neither murder weapons have ever been found but supposedly alex did own a .300 blackout rifle that was missing from the property along with a shotgun
The blackout belonged to Paul - a Christmas gift from his parents.
Those guns were buried with Randolph
I don’t want to victim blame here like at all but if his friends knew how drunk Paul was and how he gets then why even get on the boat with him I don’t get it
Ikr? Especially since someone else had offered to take them home
But death happens so fast.its scary
Because they didn't want to mess up the friendship with the rich kid with all the money
The victim should be blamed! I would never want my teenage daughter within a mile of these brats.
Teenagers’ brains aren’t fully mature. They often make bad decisions. This one was fatal to one of them. Maybe two of them if you count Paul, too.
@Maria Reckner
I have thought the same as you, and they ending up winning law suits and receiving money.
The murder weapons were never found brotha. The shells used for the murder were matched to other shells found on the property but I’m pretty sure the actual weapons were never recovered
Right
Those guns were buried with Randolph
As a great poet once wrote, mo' money, mo' problems.
RIP To the GOAT The Notorious BIG.... Baby Baby
A rich poet
I have been following this case since 2019 with great interest. Your podcast is right on the money you did your research and you did it well plus I’ve also seen all your beyond evil podcast. Excellent work.
Well he’s not on the money - he says one of the guns in the home was one of the murder weapons but that’s not correct, they never found either gun. Prolly dumped them on his parent’s property or somewhere in between there and mozelle
I didn't pay attention for a minute or two; now I'm lost 😂
Listening to Rich people problems can do that to you🤣
I am pretty certain that the shotgun used in this horrible double murder was never found, contrary to this otherwise very accurate and well-done report! Jim C.
you are right.
Neither weapon was ever found. They found spent shells around the property that matched shells found at the crime scene. They found matches around the property that matched the shells from both the murder weapons shells. No weapon ever found.
He killed them, the left to his parents home. On his way to their home he disposed the gun or guns. If he doesn’t confess, police will never find that gun.
I'm sure those guns are somewhere on his parents property. Plus his bloody clothes. Imo
Jim C: You are correct about shotgun never being found. Note: contrary to several comments here that both weapons were never found......@7:30 commentator mentions that of all the weapons found in the hunting lodge *one* of the weapons had been used in the killings.
You did a great job with this story!
Brilliantly put together as a summary of this tragic event.
Having watched this case, from diverse sources, I'd have to say that your upload is the best I've seen and not just for the clarity. Thanks for the upload.
Wooooo! This one was a doozy. Best and most extensive coverage of this case I've seen yet. Thank you! ❤
The way he cheated his maid's family of the money was utterly disgusting! All because of DRUGS!
Let's remember that the "I had to fix my flat tire" story didn't mention that... He had run flat tires on that vehicle!😂
When justice is biased, crime dances around openly
Thank you for an easy-to-understand history lesson of this once-powerful family dynasty. Very well done! 👍👏🤔
You forgot there's suspicion around Gloria scatterfield's death too... Some suspect Paul had a role in that too and Maggie covered it up (hence why I didn't say 4 innocent)
😱
Yeah i saw that also
Paul loved Gloria. If anyone did k ill her, it was Alex, so he could get more money.
If they had pushed her down the stairs they NEVER would have called an ambulance or let her live to report them. It was merely an accident.
@@abbatroubleI respectfully disagree. The shove could easily have been followed by threats if she said anything. That’s how people like this entire disgusting family operate. I’m not saying that it was or was not on purpose, no one will ever know that, but fear of exposure by a peasant is simply not anything these lords of the realm would waste two thoughts on.
The name says it all: “Beyond Evil”- that’s the Murdaugh family (not just Alec, he’s just the one that got caught… I believe the forefathers were scum too).
Thank God their reign of deception has come to a close. Hope the surviving son isn’t like the others!
Yeah you don’t hold on to that much power for that long without breaking some eggs
Alex still have 2 brothers who have their own families, they're still powerful I bet.their whole clan needs to be investigated.
Murdaugh by name
Murder by nature
😮
I watched hours of videos of this trial and thought I had watched it all but this video is so well done that I learned so much more and understood the timeline now! 😊subscribing!
I love your videos. I watched the entire trial and neither gun was ever recovered that was used in the murders. They had 1 that was the same gun but not the actual weapon used.
Those guns were buried with Randolph
@@carolynwoolverton8810 I wouldnt doubt he moved his death along faster just to bury the guns w him!
@@carolynwoolverton8810 why do you keep posting that? Any evidence or just something you like to say?
@Wide Awake Human Clothing buried too. Randolph's last act to save his son
Saw the docuseries on TH-cam but this covers his conviction better.....crazy how people with power think they can get away with anything....but they usually can to be honest.....just imagine going to a bar or restaurant and getting drunk and getting in your car to leave and not have to worry about getting pulled over by the cops....and even if u did they would probably still let you slide
It's crazy because they decided to take the boat to avoid a dui checkpoint.
Very balanced, well thought out, and non sensational account of this case. Thank you.
This might be the best and most precise synopsis of this case to date.....out of THOUSANDS
This is The best video I’ve seen on this story! Absolutely incredible work!! Thanks 🙏🏽 Alec will rot in prison. What a great fall.
I am a victim of domestic violence from Australia and I have the deepest hatred for the POS police and (in) justice system 🤔
What do you mean? I hope you are doing well now?
Yeah, the pesky evidence requirement, what a shame.
There's no room for reasonable doubt that he didn't do it. He did it. If you follow the evidence. Especially the onstar and phone pings, not just the kennel video. There's no alleged anything. If anyone still believes he's innocent, you fell for his lies or are still in his pocket, despite the evidence in front of you. I hope those sort of people are never on a jury.
Yeah he lied about the whole thing and the electronic data got him
I mean no disrespect to anyone who lost a child to this family… but, if Paul’s drinking was so well known that he had a “Timmy” nickname, what were any of those young people doing associating with him? He was obviously a ticking time bomb.
Exactly !
This is an excellent explanation of this case! I have family in Hampton and when this first became know to the public on a large scale I watched about 70% of the trial. Had I not had a connection to Hampton I would not have paid any attention being that I live 1500 miles away.
Excellent summary
I've seen and heard that clip from Paul's phone. Compared to court recruitings I swear that voice is Alex's.
As for breaking down in court watching the video. Last I remember unless you have no tear ducts you needs tears to flow when crying. 🤷🏻♀️
Jurors said no tears
Excellent recap. I learned things I hadn't before. Thank you!
The fall started much earlier. It only came to a head with the murders of Paul and Maggie.
You are a legend ❤.. this video is handled as a masterpiece. Thank you for your efforts 😊😊
It shouldnt matter how much money you have or status you got, you break the law and take a life you should be held accountable.
I agree, but it does seem to happen often. Where I live, it is a small county. A few years ago a retired judge hit a woman with his car and hurt her, nothing happened. Then 6 months later he hit 3 teenagers walking on the side of the road, killed 2 of them and seriously injured the 3 rd. Again no arrest, he had to pay a $1500.00 fine.
Nice job. A couple of items-Beaufort, SC is pronounced Bewfort. Beaufort, NC is pronounced Bowfort-long ‘o.’ Two different cities, two different states, two different pronunciations, but named after the same guy. You used the North Carolina pronunciation. Also, by SC law, all civil cases must attempt mediation before being allowed to go to court, so it was not an unusual requirement by the judge.
Sorry about that, we will avoid such errors in our future videos. Thanks for your honest feedback. ❤️
Why does buster look like the ventriloquist dummy from goosebumps? 😂😂😂
Alex has ruined quite a few lives SMH.. This is what greed will get you. He is exactly where he belongs and his son, Buster should be joining him soon! I believe that Buster had everything to do with Stephen Smiths death🙏🏼 both of his sons knew that there would not be consequences for their actions.
There is zero evidence - at this point - that Buster was involved.
Paul may have been involved as well.
@@abbatrouble yeah Stephen was a male gay prostitute on Craigslist - dude was doing some super risky stuff so a lot higher chance his death was related to that rather than Buster. But Buster did come off like a psychopath on the stand so who knows - you’d think you would show at least some emotion on the stand during the trial of your father who is accused of murdering your mom and little brother… but he was cold as ice
I watched docus about Stephen's death and based on the known facts it seemed like there are no evidence to link Buster to his death. all they had was a rumor and it was unclear who spread it. it's a typical he said she said. There are currently 3 people who are more likely to be his killer than Buster.
Hearing the narratos say "He spit on her and called her a bitch" in that voice made me laugh my ass off
Misinformation,,, neither weapon was found
It came home to roost. Judgement day may be a little harsh. He better beg GOD for mercy😢
Busters' Island....how entitled.
They never found the weapons that were used in Paul & Maggie's murder. They found shot gun shells that matched the shells from the murder. They did a lot of hunting on the property. They were able to determine that the shells were from the same weapons however they never found them.
Those guns were buried with Randolph
Character is destiny. You can look at someone's character and see what trajectory they are on and predict where that will take them. Very early on when the parents enabled Paul to drink, that was leading to trouble all by itself. The core of the problem though was that everyone in this family felt like they were above the rules and conventions the rest of society is expected to follow and that's a recipe for a bad end. It worked for a while by help from equally corrupt people in power, but once things went out of control, no more cover-ups were possible.
I just found this channel and I'm very impressed with it, I love the narration as well as the voiced used for it. Not to mention the structure of your videos and how they are handled. So many true crime channels make their videos way too long, and within a reasonably timed video you law out all the facts and actions of the crime. It makes the videos very digestible, and I cant wait to see what crime you cover next
I attended school with kids who did this all the time... not unaliving anyone, but rewarding terrible behavior. Rich kids stealing cars and wrecking them, parents sponsoring under age drinking and coed slumber parties ...
Why don't people just say killed or murdered anymore?
@@griffbenoit7687
Because TH-cam flags certain words and often deletes the comments that contain those words. Those are some of them. It’s a way to get around the community guidelines/rules for apps. It happens on Facebook a lot too.
They do this is slums, trailer parks, tenements, middle class urban homes, rural middle class homes, lower class rural homes etc etc. Rich kids do this probably less than kids in very poor urban areas. Just sayin’. Also no, I’m not a rich kid. I’m a rural middle class kid.
Screw saying our hearts are out to those two instead the guy in the road, house keeper and the girl in the boat are the ones our hearts are with
The best Voice on the Beat.😂😂😂😂
It was also said that SLED confiscated a computer from the murdaugh family after maggie and paul's death might have some implications for Buster and stephen.
This was the best version of this story EVER!
Lol this is the best video, “his reputation was going down faster than a lead balloon”😅😂
This is the most well put together doc on this family that i have seen
Best coverage ever! Thank you from a new subscriber.
Welcome aboard! ❤️
New subscriber also
Amazing video!🎉
FYI
Motive is not necessary to be found guilty of murder. Only means and opportunity, of which AM had.
The prosecution was not obliged to prove motive. They did, but they did not have to in South Carolina. In South Carolina also circumstantial and direct evidence are equal as evidence.
I still don’t get the “motive” behind killing his wife and son
His family’s reputation in the area spans back many generations. The wife and son were about to ruin it. Paul was a mess, he’d killed the girl on the boat, he was basically an alcoholic and always getting into trouble. Maggie was preparing to divorce Alex and was also discovering all his financial crimes. Things were falling apart and I think he killed them to save his name and the Murdaugh name more generally
@@Dr_KAP thank you. Makes sense
@@Dr_KAP still not enough to kill your son and wife tbh
I used to think is life insurance
But this makes sense
I've watched this on different channels and this was honestly the most insightful coverage. Thank you so much.
All of them, rotten apples and corrupt
This is like the third time I’ve watched a video about this case. Mind bending.
It's incredible how far this guy went to cover his actions and bad decisions, he has to be the biggest scammer of all times
They never ever say the preventable criminal behavior took the life of this beautiful girl who will never finish HS ,college , get married, have children, it’s all gone she’ was taken by that entire family😢🥺👹👹👹👹👹👹
Wrong, they never found the weapon used in these killings!
Why cant cops do their job based on the facts and not money or who they are. They are all human beings
Hard to hear inaccuracies so confidently told. This story is extremely well documented, yet there are flubs in numerous places.
WTF?
No guns taken from the property was used in the murders. The Blackout rifle and the Binelli shotgun are still missing. The Blackout casings at the crime scene matched casings in the yard at the house and that's how they determined that the family guns had been used. They were identified by the matching casings. The actual weapons have never been recovered.
Awesome Video
Think about what your president gets away with if this can happen at those "little" levels of the oligarchy...
An eye for an eye , that's why this keeps happening ,look he's been sensationalized
what about Gloria’s death? The house keeper and the money they got for her death that they promised to give to her family 😢
Her sons got 4.3million
He covered that in the video, did you not watch it?
Excellent, excellent compilation of such a convoluted case!!! I had given up trying to understand the complexities of Murdaugh's story in its entirety, but you presented it in art form lolol. My only question is that although I am nowhere near educated enough on the repercussions for withholding incriminating evidence to the police, lawyers, etc.; however, surely the prosecuting lawyer's actions must have appeared suspect when he recused himself (and I realize your theory that he may have known something damning was speculation). But what about obstructing justice, wouldn't he be investigated for at least that charge?
No, during the beginning of the investigation for all he knew it could have been anyone. Once he was told that the investigation was leaning towards someone he knew he recused himself. If he had stayed on the case, despite who was being investigated and his relationship with him the accused then that would have been wrong. So he did not do anything wrong to recuse himself.
That red hair!! That’s a curse in of itself!!
The only question they couldn't answer "where is the money." There is no way he spent that much on drugs.
Lawyers have said that it will come out during the trials for financial misconduct. Patience, Grasshopper.
Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Very true indeed. Only God wields absolute power. This Alex fella is extremely conniving
Gloria, Beach and Stephen's families got justice from Paul and his parents..hope law enforcement ppl who tried to cover up also get their punishment
The motive.
The youngest child is reckless. He hates that. The wife is too easy on the kids. Which caused the youngest child’s behavior to get out of control.
I bet dad didn’t want his kids drinking and partying. Then the girl dies. He wants to punish the kid, mom won’t let him.
In other words, they probably had a difference of parenting styles which in turn damaged the their marriage. With the wedge digging in deeper as time went on.
They’re what kinda people? Rich, famous, in the spot light and media attention. Divorce is not an option. It’ll ruin the reputation of the family name.
There’s your motive. Why are motives so hard for people to figure out? Dig in that direction and I bet I have the right idea.
The wife wanted a divorce.
Alex was a drug addict.
She hired a specialized accountant (forensic) to examine their financials
He was a thief and knew this was BAD and he was busted
He panicked
THAT is the motive .
They were BOTH shitty parents. Neither more lenient that the other. You can’t be a solid parent when your popping oxycodone and running defense trying to keep people from noticing you’re stealing their money.
Is it just me or does it feel like we're entering the supervillain times. All these people look like real supervillains
