A veteran personal injury attorney, Alex Murdaugh, 54, was heir to a legal dynasty that has held sway over South Carolina's Lowcountry region for more than a century.On 7 June 2021, he reported finding his wife Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22, dead near the dog kennels on the family's sprawling estate.
No arrests were made for more than a year, but Murdaugh was indicted last July on two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon while committing a violent crime.
He insisted he was not involved in the deaths, but state prosecutors argued he shot the pair at close range with a rifle and shotgun.
After less than three hours, a jury found him guilty on all charges.
He now faces 30 years to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors chose not to seek the death penalty.
The convicted murderer is separately facing a wave of financial charges, including allegations he embezzled millions from the family-founded law firm at which he was a partner.
Prosecutors said in court that he murdered his wife and son to distract from his misdeeds and gain sympathy.
They called more than 60 witnesses over four weeks in an effort to poke holes in Murdaugh's alibi and expose numerous inconsistencies in his version of events.
Investigators never found a murder weapon, but the prosecution built its case using circumstantial evidence including mobile phone data and gunshot residue.
Perhaps the most significant piece of evidence was a video taken by Paul at the dog kennels minutes before he died, in which Murdaugh can be heard in the background. For 20 months after the murders, Murdaugh insisted he had not been at the kennels that night, before admitting at trial he had lied.
Over two days on the witness stand last week, Murdaugh testified in his own defence - a high-risk move for any defendant.
He acknowledged for the first time he was at the dog kennels that night shortly before his wife and son were killed.
He conceded he had lied several times to investigators, citing a long-standing addiction to prescription pain-killers that made him "paranoid".
And he admitted to years of theft from clients and people he "loved and cared about" so that he could fund his abuse of opiates.
But, he said, none of it meant he was guilty. Tearfully referring to the victims as "Mags" and "Paw Paw", he said: "I would never intentionally do anything to hurt either one of them."
The testimony was Murdaugh's "Hail Mary", Mrs Williams told BBC News. She said that, as a former prosecutor, he knew juries like to hear from a defendant and knew he had to explain why he said he lied.
In 2018, the family's long-time housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, died after an apparent accident at their home. Murdaugh encouraged her adult children to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Murdaugh's insurance company paid out to the tune of $4.3m, but the Satterfields did not receive a dime. Murdaugh later admitted he had kept it all.
Police are now re-examining how Ms Satterfield died. The Murdaugh family claim she tripped over their dogs and fell down the stairs.
The year after, Paul drunkenly crashed a boat in an accident that killed one of his passengers, Mallory Beach. He had been charged and was out on bail at the time of his death. Murdaugh implied on the stand that he had faced death threats since the incident.
Three months after his wife and son died, in September 2021, Murdaugh was injured in a roadside shooting. Authorities later revealed he had staged a botched hit job on himself with the aid of a distant cousin, so that Buster could collect a life insurance policy. - บันเทิง
Omg what's up with the hair 💇 dude it's like you were 🤯 shocked 😲 😁
Glass houses Roxie. Shall I make a snide comment about your profile picture?
It’s just hair. You’re weird.
@@SCOTTONTAPE love your hair its your signature ...if a person doesn't have anything to say nice it needs to be kept to themselves....be mindful your on his channel 🙏🏾
@@mshumble6596 thank you MsHumble well said. I can definitely take jokes about my hair lol it’s just annoying how most people think they’re the first and/or particularly clever . If it’s funny I laugh.
Love you thanks for watching!
@@SCOTTONTAPE I love how you pinned this! hahaha! What a "female dog". Also, your hair is perfect, it's your image at this point.
Hahahaha love it Scott. What's the saying "Lipstick on a pig is still a pig"
Scott I just love how respectful you always try to be whether it's near someone's property or at someone's grave
It’s a shame that after two years, the family hasn’t shown the respect
due to Maggie and Paul to install a headstone. At least respect them in death if not in life Buster!
Exactly what I was thinking
Buster is a sociopath he don't care about anyone but himself
agree! should have been in the first year, very disrespectful from both sides of their families!
I was going to say the same thing that’s grave for his wife and son is awful. Not expecting a huge headstone but something better than what is there.
Wow no headstone that’s so sad .
Very well done, Scott. I'm a South Carolinian and watched this whole trial. I always felt AM did it. Thank you for doing this vlog. RIP M&P
I still feel they convicted him on the financial evidence which showed his character for lying and theft. They did Not prove he murder him wife and son.
I watched the whole trial too and always thought Alex was guilty.
Anna from England
@Tondra Cook He was the only one there at the time they died. It's on video thanks to Paul.
Where are their headstones . It’s been two years
I don't think Alex did it, He lied & he smiled but He didn't kill Maggie or Paul
Respectfully done, Scott. I past through this County often when I'm in Charleston and it'll never be the same again. From Walterboro to Edisto and the rural back roads where the mansions lie, it'll never be the same. Thanks for the great walking tour of familiar territory. It'll never be the same, again.
💔💔💔💔💔
The music you always put with these videos is so emotional. It's hard to explain, but it hits my soul with you telling the story. Be safe out there.
I’m in England, I saw the 1st interview with Alex in the police car, with the behaviour panel, I could tell from that this guy was obviously not being truthful, he was saying 1 thing but his body language was saying something different, he could be crying (without tears) one minute and talking normal the next he is a master manipulator and 100% guilty , great video Scott xx
He’s a horrible man
My wife and child have been shot badly. That was a rehearsed 911 call. 1st red flag
I love watching your videos. The compassion you have covering these tragic stories is commendable.
Thank you Scott for covering this.
So many people hurt by all the string of events of this. RIP to Maggie, Paul, Mallory, Gloria.
And Emily says Thank You. ❤
RIP Stephen 🏳️🌈
RIP Steve x
Thats a lot of people dying in suspicious circumstances around one family! Here I UK I watched the Netflix episode about the poor girl on the boat. It was compelling. Didn't realise that there had been other murders until after. Money breeds contempt. Rest I peace to all the victims. ❤
The trial was on TV what did they expect in Hampton? Good job done well again Scott.❤ from 🇬🇧 p.s I love your hair....
@@suehurrell134 there is a new documentary on Sky Crime here in UK.
Pore little Ole alex.
Thank you Scott for bringing us to the scene. I can't physically go to the grave site, you did it for us. I will contribute to your PayPal. You are a blessing, continue your good work.
I watched the Auction of their belongings and I just had to turn it off. Seeing Maggie's kitchen belongings, and clothes, was too much.
Honestly, I've always thought that it was Buster.
And Alex took the fall for him.
Thank you. Good video, tasteful and respectful.
A sad and tragic story. Killing a mother/wife and their son. Once again Scott, you covered this hot topic with dignity and grace and most of all, respect. Thank you.
🕊️🙏❤️
I think maybe the lady said aggravating because of all the attention brought to the quiet area. Just a thought.
Leesa, I agree with you 100%👍
New subscriber from South Carolina. Thank you for taking time to do a video on this case. Great video done respectfully.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for covering this awful case..I live in Charleston,SC and me and my friend tried to grab a seat in the court during the trial but it was always too crowded .We did pay our respects to Maggie and Paul while we were driving around that day..
Wow, surely someone in that family has the money to get a couple of headstones, or even a shared one! It just looks so neglected 😢
You are very respectful and informative in your video!
Scott telling the story respecting the victims. RIP to the victims 🙏
But the picture when he was talking about buster was a picture of paul
Great job attempting to explain this extremely tragic and messy situation Scott. Per usual, all of your hard work is greatly appreciated sir. Love the channel and always looking forward to the next vid you drop.
Yes Scott,This made International News as many other cases in America do ,Thank You for your videos on such cases ,You always nail it!👍🏼💯
i was hoping you would cover this one! good job dude!
Thank you. You covered this tragedy eloquently.
I used to live in Savannah and if you’ve never been there, it’s definitely worth seeing while you’re down there
Beautiful and respectful job, Scott. Thank you.
Great video Scott!!!! 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!
I love your videos Scott. Been going through a rough few months but your videos always make me happy to watch! Thank you!
Hope you feel better soon Rachael!
Can you imagine the victims being laid to rest with the family of your murderer, where he will be also, when he passes. I wonder if the remains will remain there or if her family will move them.
Just found your channel and so glad I did! Love the way you deliver the story and the respect you show. Just wondering what the leaving of the stones mean? Looking forward to binge watching your other videos!
Xcott, you"ve got a great future with these videos. I think drones are the future to so you need some 4K or 8K ? camerasand maybe pay someone to do drone shots. great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Don't ever change the music you play during your videos please. It gives life back for moments to the ones where they no longer have a heart beat.
You would think the family would have bought them a nice headstone.
What an interesting but undeniably tragic story. I hadn't heard most of the details until now. Thanks for sharing and for being so respectful.
Hey Scott would you do one of these on filming locations for road house and maybe Patrick swayze's grave
Love your videos Scott , always respectful and honest AF , love and prayers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
You did a great job. Scott sooner will be a movie out about this. I wish we could’ve seen where he went to prison, but I’m sure that we’ll come down the road. I’m curious who Buys that big house
Good job! Some of those people that live there think they own the town. They don't own it and will never own it. So people are going to come out there.
The south does some things with names. I was so confused when I first started following this case. Apparently Murdaugh is pronounced as Murdock there and Alex's nickname is Ellick, which is why some people have referred to him as Alec.
Alex is often pronounced as Alec as like a nickname type of thing
And it seems that people pronounce it as Murdock just bc it’s “easier” or often thought to be heard as Murdock instead of Murdaugh
I was for the for the best of the best to drop this video. Always top tier content
Been watching the trial from Scotland
First time I've watched you but I have been following the Murdaugh murders steadily. I found the way you respected the situation and didn't go in like a bull in the china shop admirable. You said you were from Canada, not sure if you're Canadian. Peace. 🍁🍁🍁
Congratulations Scott for your work thank you so much for talking about this tragic and sad story… RIP for all victims 💔
Please cover the tragic murder of Melanie Richey while you are in Augusta, GA! She was my friend, and her story needs to be known!
Scott another great video. Questions for you
1) do you know if the property is up for sale?
2) have you done the Chris Benoit murders/suide ?
Thank you Scott! I'm from Germany. 🙂
I can only guess that that woman’s annoyance lies in the fact that the true crime community has kind of taken over this case and made it, and Paul and Maggie, a circus sideshow without really considering them real people. It must be a total nightmare if you knew them personally.
It’s such a sad family story but thank you Scott for the little tour which you handled with respect
What's really effed up is that Maggie and Paul still have no gravestones 3 years later. Paul grandfather died soon after???? Wonder if he knew and died of heartbreak?
Thanks for covering this bro
The house and land was originally owned by a convicted DRUG SMUGGLER...that's why they had an airstrip at the house. Just some trivia for you. I watched the entire trial and both TV specials.
2 years and still headstones
I just read today the house and land sold for 3.9 million and is now being dispersed... Probably was tied up by court to spend any money.
Thats it? Wow
Great work Scott. Thank you for your efforts and bravery!!
Thanks bro that was a great video!! I digggg the hair due!!
Scott, I live 18 miles from Moselle!! If I'd have known you were coming to this little county, would've loved to have met you!!!! Keep your videos coming 🙂 I'm a huge fan!!
It's still sad that after almost 2 years, Maggie and Paul don't have headstones of some sort. They were disrespected when their loved one murdered each of them, but they are still being disrespected by not having headstones IMO. So sad. Some people feel they could be vandalized, but I don't feel that is the case.
Given there is still news about Stephen and Gloria, I doubt the sightseeing will stop any time soon. As I'm sure you are aware, the Moselle property is now owned by two other individual's.
very sad but interesting story thanks for sharing Scott 👍 rest in peace Maggie Paul and Stephen
Thank you Jacqueline!
He was crazy that’s for sure. I’m glad that he didn’t get away with murder. Hope justice is served for whoever killed Stephen as well.
Hey, thanks for this. Been waiting for a full fledged run down. This guy is guilty as the day is long 💯
You should do story on David Camm in Floyd County, Indiana. Wife and 2 children murdered. Buried at Graceland Cemetery in New Albany, Indiana. Then go into Louisville , Kentucky to Cave Hill cemetery where Col. Sanders, Mohammed Ali are buried.
I’ve been waiting for someone to do this
Me too
Eric Alan has had a few stories on this
@@scottjarrells8339 is he a true crime channel??
@@scottjarrells8339 ohh, I know that channel. I thought his name is Kevin??
Hobart Tasmania Australia watching ❤
Such a sad and tragic story, I hope he rots in prison. Love you're way of telling the story, you do it with so much respect, thank you for doing these videos with compassion
Thanks for the great informative video Scott😊
Well done, great job. Very respectful.
When it comes to the house, you can walk up to the orange rope, because anything before that is city property, I noticed when you were there, it was a ghost town, but that is very rare.
RIP to all those that died. Very sad! Cannot imagine how someone who had everything would considerate doing these horrible things! Thank Scott!
Surprised there isn’t a headstone for M &
P.
Oh so sad. Well done Scott (again). The music is amazing, so haunting 😚Love your hair 😝😁😆
First time here. I just subscribed.
Thanks for this Scott ✌️❤️
He would of pulled off the perfect murder had this been 25/30 years ago. That short video is what nailed him. Someone give this man a jelly ball 😂
Right? Social media wins!
@Scottontape absolutely. It absolutely serves a purpose and has it's perks and helps solve a large majority of crimes and incidents that lead up to crimes. Definitely a win win. Nobody should ever be considered, "the law" or "above the law". His sons video was instant karma. Great work!
You should do the gabby petito story
Scott you are always very respectful and never judge, Ty for that. You covered this so well and so very sad, money isn’t everything and here is the proof 😿💔😿RIP to all invoked 😎
So, the entrance is now etched into my mind. Horrible! Waste!!
The home where they were killed, closed today. It's been under contract for awhile now.
A nasty lot, entitled children allowed to do whatever they liked, looking down on the ordinary working people around them. Only one I have any sympathy for is the Mother although her bad parenting was a factor in Paul's issues. Their attitude was to cover up any wrong doing whatever way they could to save their name. Alex is totally guilty but probably was high at the time.... he basically was just a high brow junkie. That buster lad is too sweet to be wholesome too. Definitely not the end of the story here.

It is sad they didn’t do more for Maggie and Paul’s gravesite other than that with the money that family has.. I live in SC and watching the case threw the whole trial and it’s a sad case
I follow the case and watch here in Jakarta, Indonesia feel so sorry for Paul and Maggie. Deep condolences for Maggie and Paul. I also feel sad that Maggie and Paul haven' t gotten their head stone graves. Who will take care of their graves as millionare family? R.I.P. for Maggie and Paul. Justice serve for them as Alex will forever in prison.
Thank you for doing such a great video on this. I watched it all from the beginning to the end and I think I even listened to every Medium and Tarot reader on this case that was put out. This family will continue to be in the news for such a long time. The media is what makes these cases such high profile due to being covered by everyone. There probably won't be anyone who can't say they don't know about his trial and the Murdaugh's. You did them great justice and show of respect.
Paul was a tool.... But Randy from big Blake is awesome
This house sold for 2.6 million or 2.9 million not sure but it went for a lot less than asked. there was an auction and they sold items that were in the house, couches and armchair one for $30,000. It’s made of leather for example. Such a heartless and mindless acts of betrayal!
Sidewalks are not private property. Neither are streets, unless marked as such.
So sad a whole family 😢 so devastating 💖🙏
Omg I was glued to his trial. I knew he did it! What a twisted and entitled man and family! Yet… it is very sad . Rip Paul and Maggie. Nice job Scott! Edited very well. Love ya dude ❤. Now I hope Mallory beech , Gloria’s kids, and Steven smith get JUSTICE!! Oh and WHY buster does your mom and brother not have any headstone!
Thanks Scott you did story wth grace and remember the innocent victims I didn’t relive about the young boy who was killed hopefully his family gets justice He needs to be life in prison
Good coverage Scott, feel very sorry for Buster and his loss because he's actually lost both parents and his brother too. That poor kid is now also being besmerched by the media over the death of Steven Smith, I do not watch things like Fox News only my local news here in Australia. However I love watching stuff on TH-cam that peeks my interest like your channel and Faces of the Forgotten. BTW I love your hair.xo
Awesome job covering this horrible murder and trial. Totally love your style, editing, and general journalistic prowess. The totality of your vids are what make them all so worthy of watching. Your presence in these films is genuinely felt as you are genuine yourself in your care for what you present. Great content here. Always respectful.....This upload is awesome as always. And - as always - I always look forward to when you post. Until the next one - take care, my friend....and be safe. PS - the hair hasn't looked better in a long while.
A lot of people are drawn to the tragedies of Alex Murdaugh and his wife and youngest son. They are said to have raised their 2 boys to know they were better than any. Others because in this part of the low country in S.C., the name Murdaugh over the past century has meant power, influence and wealth.
Maggie had stated that she had difficulty attaching to her youngest son at his birth and beyond. Any nurturing Maggie had as a mother was said to have gone to her first child, Buster. It is easy to see the lack of attachment to Paul and how very different he was from his o,der brother.
The parents also were lacking in providing their boys consequences when they were guilty of reckless bad behavior. This is certainly seen in there encouraging their boys to party and drink alcohol with them. The parents provided the booze, maybe drugs and the boys brought their friends into the mix and became a drinking excessively and no consequences.
Paul not only became belligerent when he was drunk but also he displayed physical oddities in his extremities. He also became an abuser physically and mentally to his girlfriend. All those on the boat the late evening/early morning, saw Paul abusing his girlfriend as well as derogatory comments to the other 2 girls and within limits to the 2 guys. Youth, lack of fully developed prefrontal cortex, kept them on the boat when Paul sowed them it was his boat driving recklessly when the others discussed first getting a ride by Uber or friends and being held captive to his evil personality.
I have wondered what different the others could have done that the night wouldn’t end in tragedy.
-Not get back on boat at last stop
-restraining Paul physically and returning to the dock
-pulling the keys out of the ignition and maybe even throwing them into the darkened waters so the boat would be incapacitated and so would Paul.
In reading about the Alex Murdaugh family of wife and 2 boys, it is hard to understand that they never truly parented their boys and allowed them to destroy others lives,, properties in such preventable ways by teaching right from wrong and having consequences for bad behavior and not being supervised by parents who understood parenting responsibly.
All the guns, rifles, long gun not locked up but available to use at their whim, it is surprising no one was shot and killed when adding booze, guns, ammunition and no rules.
They talk about Paul as being the best friend, nephew, son when eulogizing him. All that shows is the basic foundation of being a good human who cares for others was there but not rewarded.
I thought about the sign of behavior in a young kid becoming psychotic. Did he torture animals and small kids. Then I realized he shot at will hogs, birds, rodents and was given a large property filled with things needing killing.
I think the main difference between Buster and Paul was Buster had a mother who lived him and treasured spending time. Alex, if what he says about a 20 plus year opiate addiction then they didn’t have a father who was grounded in reality and truthfulness.
What a mess these parents made when they decided to conceive and chose to only partially raise a good son….all allegedly .
Everything is my opinion only and for things not charged with or action taken, they are all edged.
Hi Scott ! Great job as always ! RIP Paul and Maggie , such a senseless murder . The husband deserves what he got Guilty from the beginning in my opinion.
The Moselle house was sold for over 3 million. Buster is getting like 550k. He won't get to keep it since his law suits are on their way. Buster needs cash for his attorney fees. As always, Justice for Stephen Smith
Thanks Scott for posting
7:26 that's Paul not Buster. 9:20 that's Paul not Buster. Love your videos bro I'm a faithful viewer.
Scott,
Each time you mention “Buster” Murdaugh, (7:24 & 9:19) you show photos of Paul Murdaugh (victim and brother of Buster)
Otherwise great video, as usual Scott. I was hesitant to say anything, didn’t want to seem rude or overly critical, yet I know after watching your videos, you strive to be as concise as possible and thought I should mention.
Also, the jury was out at the Mozelle property to view the scene at the tail end of Alex Murdaugh’s recent trial. I believe it was the day before the end of the 6 week long trial. I watched a good portion of the trial on Emily D Baker’s channel.
Rest in Peace Maggie, Paul, Mallory, Ms Satterfield, & Steven.
I was looking for a comment like this. I didn't wanna be the one to say it.
@@BamSlade I hesitated, believe me. Didn’t want to be “that” person either.
@@blondieb6946 well WE can be “that person”. If it had just been the one time I woulda been like oops he messed up. But then twice and I’m like ooooh he doesn’t realize it. A lot of ppl saying they followed the case but they didn’t catch the mistake. Either way… we all can agree that Scott makes great videos and entertaining content.
@@BamSlade I agree. I found his channel a month or two ago and have watched through most of his catalog of videos and recommended his channel to family and friends. He’s incredibly funny, kind, and so thoughtful to detail. I thought the same when I saw this twice, exactly what I was thinking too. Thank you for making me know I wasn’t alone. I appreciate it. 😊
@@blondieb6946 I’ve been watching him for awhile. We have never met but have a couple of mutual friends. I don’t think I’ve watched every thing he has put out yet. But I’ll get there. He’s a great go-to content creator. His humor is different and I enjoy it. I like how he just speaks his mind (when not telling facts/stories).
Thank you for your thoughtful coverage of this awful situation. I think it’s terrible that Maggie and Paul do not have a headstone yet after two years. There’s plenty of money in that family even if it came from the Uncles or Grandmother. Moselle is huge and it was just auctioned off furnishings as well this past weekend. They paid off AM’s legal fees or some settlements, and were still able to give Buster $500K perhaps he will order the headstone, although none of them seem to be all that warm and fuzzy at least to me personally.
May those connected to this devastation find rest and peace 🕊️Gloria Satterfield (Sp?), Mallory Beach, Stephen Smith and Margaret and Paul Murdaugh.
Still no headstones? It’s been years. Why?
@24:15 It’s stated that only 70 ppl live in that particular remote area. Which has long been the case. However as of today there are only 66. ☹️
Maggie knew what was going on. She's not that dumb. They said those Murdaugh you couldn't divorce them.
that is one sad grave side with plastic flowers...
