It baffles me that this dude was mildly annoyed with his family, and he went straight to killing them. Did he consider maybe moving out like an adult?? Nope, just murder.
Coz they are always big babies. Don't want to move out and work. Easier to murder the family, live in the paid off family home and collect the insurance money. Awful hey
And leave the comforts of home, 3 square meals all the games you can play and no bills… Murder is DEFINITELY more of an option than giving up that gravy train.
Jesus Christ that 911 call and subsequent explanation from Alex is horrible. It's like he didn't even rehearse his story before he lied about it. "Uhhh yeah someone shot us! I think? I'm shot in the foot. Other people in my house? Uhhh well my dad is dead on the floor. Yeah we were shot by a... maaaaan? Yeah. Like a human man. Pretty sure he had like... a face and stuff."
Jackson: "Okay, I am going to invent a home invasion and to sell this story better I'll injure myself." 911: "What did the home invaders look like?" Jackson: "I did not expect nor plan for this question."
This has got to be the worst attempt to get away with murder I've ever seen. If the case wasn't so tragic, it would be comical. Thanks Jiles for another great vid !
I love how annoyed he is on the 911 call. Like he actually thought they wouldn't ask him any questions, just immediately feel sorry for, believe his extremely thin story, give him some pain meds, then let him go on his way. I just love how his whole plan start to fall apart after like the second question by the 911 operator.
Yeah, and how he answered every question the 911 dispatchers with a question: Was it a man or woman? A man??? What color clothes and skin? Uh black??? Black person wearing black? Uh, yeah???
Him and that turtle neck dude from Louisiana are the most incompetent family annihilaters I've ever heard of. They ask if his sister is ok "...um I guess so..." Never occurred to him to even pretend to have checked on her. Also she was shot like six times even if she was still alive she is not okay 😂
That house that he lived in with his family is beautiful, and he had all of the advantages anyone could want…yet he destroyed everything. He took away the parents who gave him life and took care of him for two decades and a sister who was vibrant and should have had a chance to live. He viciously and selfishly and stupidly took their lives from them. If he never had to face consequences for his actions before, he needs to now…with no mercy.
He lived filled with hate and hateful parents. Given his beliefs, they always think, "If 'they' just go away, we'll be better off," but what they don't realize is that their hate is greedy. It WILL turn inward. It always does. And that's what happened here. You'd think he'd have at least spared his father, another far-right white male, but no. Pops had to go too.

"Sociopathic wuss" describes the majority of right-wingers (and the guy and his sister's texts did make it clear he was a right-winger). The left doesn't "hate guns" but there is a reason we don't have the fetish for them that right-wingers have and it's because a gun is the great equalizer - if you're a coward and can't win with words, just pull out a gun and intimidate others. Guns make them all into tough guys. Yet the killer was an extremely online not willing to leave his mom's basement and get a job type, the kind of person the right tries to portray the left as.
Just like the Darlie Routier case. Both kids just slaughtered by the so called “intruder” but her wounds were superficial and the fact that she claimed to be sleeping through her children being stabbed and that one of her sons after being so viciously attacked was able to come to her and try to wake her up
The short panning video of his sister's bedroom with her still in the bed deceased. Morbidly peaceful & surrounded stuff animals and pictures of friends. Every little thing she spent a life accumulating. Just a happy young women who's returning home from college to their childhood bedroom... That shit absolutely broke my heart.
No seriously I watch these videos probably at an unhealthy rate lbs but when I saw her snuggled in her bed amongst her entire childhood completely minding her business being wholesome and peaceful it instantly crushed me and pissed me tf off smh
The thing that always got me was, that he got shot in the foot to the point he had to "crawl". He couldn't even walk out to the police when the came. So he's saying a man , who killed three others, just shot him in the foot and didn't finish the job? He was like "aww man, I gotta get out of here " and ran off ?
That don’t mean anything. Brian kolberger left people alive at place he killed 4, so did bundy when he was killing nursing students in Florida, so did btk
Yes, me too, I felt particularly bad for Sabrina. Her brother and father both sounded miserable to live with. Total psychos. I hate it when parents try to push their views and opinions on their kids. Both her brother and her father attacked her for having her own political opinions. That is such a stupid way to behave.
@@Psychofadder77 what makes you think you're even a little bit funny, you muppet? A young girl (and her parents) were slaughtered but let's make hahaha comments about it 🤦♀️
What a shocker of an intro to the video. You are very good at lining up reality for criminal ' insanity '. Super good pacing, and perfect for us working the night shift 😂
It is extremely rare, that one person gets shot to death in the house, and the survivor only in the foot. Of all places…the foot.. after unloading on a member of the household. He showed his brilliance when he didn’t even fathom that he’d be interviewed by veteran cops of over 5+ years on the job.
i went to high school with him and was even in classes with him, we were in the same graduating class. absolutely nuts this happened. rip to the entire family.
I watched the trial for this kid. It was clear from the beginning that he'd done it. His story was ridiculous and he clearly shot himself in the foot. What he did to his family was horrendous but he showed no remorse at all. He shot his whole family because he didn't want to get a job! 🙄
Things like this make me glad my parents were firm with me while I was controllable I'm older now and if I had a shitty mindset it'd be harder to fix so thank you mom and dad for your expertise
"We know nobody else went in or out of your house." "Well that would make me the murderer but that's impossible because I'm shot. In the foot." "Hear me out but what if, now this going to sound crazy, but what if you shot yourself in the foot?" "I did not anticipate this question..."
Unfortunately, it seems that he was deemed “intelligent” by those who were ill-equipped to make such a determination, or just in order to shield him from the truth. Had people been more honest in their evaluations, perhaps Alex would not have felt capable of succeeding in this crime.
The lack of emotional reaction is such a giveaway. If someone broke into my parents house, killed them and my siblings, and left me maimed, I'd probably just kill myself then and there. No doubt I'd be sobbing incoherently the entire time they try to interview me
No kidding! And it’s always telling when they claim someone else (especially family) should be there but don’t immediately call out to them to see if they’re okay or responsive.. you can bet that I’d be yelling so crazily that my neighbors would likely call 911 before I could if I weren’t already on the phone with them! The fact he failed to mention his mother and sister were also in the house was the first alarm bell for me when watching the trial; especially when mentioning his sister would’ve been upstairs but never mentioning his mother obviously would be too as it wasn’t like she were out on business or something.
Yeah but then you would look guilty cuz you can’t be too emotional and you can’t be emotionless and if you do this your guilty and if you don’t do it you are guilty. It’s so annoying. I swear I’ve seen the cops and many channels say literally everything shows guilt, only because someone guilty is doing it. When an innocent person does it no one says anything about it.
Even if I have seen a case covered elsewhere, I always love your take on it. This guy really did shoot himself in the foot with those bs stories. Thanks for such great content, Jiles.
@@Sati457 youtube has a glitch now where when you comment on a short, the comment shows up on the next video you watch. I'm assuming that's what happened there.
"I love my family, I would never do anything to hurt them," he said without any emotion or passion. Any innocent person would feel appalled, angered, and/or confused why people are accusing you of attempting to murder your family. -And any smart person would demand for a lawyer and stop speaking to those people!-
This guy is one of the least convincing liars I've ever heard, especially when he says he was doing hand to hand combat with the intruder but then can't explain what he looked like, and even after the dispatcher trying to pull answers out of him, he can't do better that "black guy in a black shirt"
In maga Iowa, in that neighborhood, I'm sure someone would have noticed a black guy casing houses in minutes. I did laugh, however, wondering how Alex' "normal" sex life is going in prison.
@@susanpitcher5956 That's what I said! There have been several stories of black people (not just men) who were interrogated at best or lost their life at worst just being in such a neighborhood (that's not blended). In this case, you can't convince me that the neighborhood Karens wouldn't have been in an uproar on Nextdoor and wouldn't have called the police, if not went out with their piece themselves. He was smart enough to know that it's an easy accusation but not smart enough to know it didn't fit the environment.
@@leespup More precisely, it’s always the “uniquely challenged” guilty ones. Anyone who told Alex that he was “intelligent” did the entire family a huge disservice. Such an assessment would only be valid when comparing him to a brick.
This channel is my new favorite! My bf always catches me watching and asked me, ”you’re not gonna murder me, are you?” I cackled because he’s not into true crime and doesn’t know how difficult it is to murder someone close to you and get away with it… rip to the family of this waste. The irony is lost on him
I got shot in 2017 Made me ponder and wonder about vengeance. Not getting caught was priority #1. And believe me i was plotting. I tamed my vengeance and glad I did.
LMAOOOO 🫣🤣 I watch true crime all the time too at times, I get asked by my significant other also if I’m going to murder him? I even got asked that by oldest son. Ma you’re not planning anything funny are you? Me: why would you guys think that? Well because all you watch is crime stories. Me: ohhh so you guys don’t see the other times I watch politics and other news!? My oldest: EXACTLY 😂
The police body cam footage alone shows how full of it this guy was, surrounded by his dead family members and he's not even fazed, most people would be trying desperately to see if anything could be done to save them but he's too busy acting like he's at deaths door with his cut leg
The entitlement and fragility here are truly terrifying. How did this person make it to adulthood in order to carry out this massacre? I'm in almost disbelief.
Thanks for also mentioning that the gun was an unusual model and difficult to load. The ballistic expert that had to watch a TH-cam video to understand how to load this gun then showed the jury the weird way in which to insert the rounds, thus proving there's no way an average person could figure it out. A very interesting bit of circumstantial evidence in this case.
"This weapon requires a level in Exotic Weapons proficiency that the average player doesn't have, but that THIS player DOES have." Dude was dismantled by a Dungeons & Dragons scenario.
@@amityislandchum I think that's a good piece of evidence if this guy had knowledge of that type of gun and its not the easiest than that seems good to me
Well if my daughter was joining terrorist that burned down entire cities with they’re angry and think strip shows for children is cute…I would also not be very happy
@@kelseywelsey2924 wow you’re literally the person I’m talking about, you’re allowed to have extremist right wing bigoted views but your children can’t have their own opinions
They act like they hate [insert brown radical group], but I really think it's jealousy. They want *exactly* the same things, for women and children to have no rights or protection except for what they choose to bestow upon them in the moment. They want women covered up, in the kitchen, breeding, not talking, not saying "No." They want access to as young a partner as they wish; they want to be able to smack their partner around without consequence, etc. Two sides of the same rusty coin, but they're so delusional they can't even see it.
"I didn't see anything abnormal about Alex while we played video games online together." - Clearly a close friend of Alexs' who knew him intimately... 🙄
if you think anyone deserves to die over political belief, you've lost touch with reality and need to log off/seek help. edit: this applies to everyone regardless of affiliation
First off, thank you for covering this one, Jiles. I found out about this case during the Alex Murdaugh trial and well, ofc the Murdaugh trial had all my attention. I tried getting more info on this Alex on both youtube and reddit and I didn’t come up with anything so it was a nice treat to see your, as always, insightful upload. June 2021 was a very active time period for both Alex’s but listening to this one’s testimony made me realize how much the other one kinda nailed all the interrogations. The capacity to construct such a huge lie and carry it off is NOT easy. As smart as they said this kid was, he failed miserably at his story. This is probably the worst attempt I’ve ever seen. The naïveté is incredibly baffling. And then his refusal to accept the evidence laid out in front of him is also kinda like a statement on political extremism as well. I feel so bad for Sabrina she was living the college life and coming to age on her own terms. It’s sad!
I’ve watched several videos about this case and been left somewhat confused and wanting a better picture every time, right when I saw you uploaded a video about it I knew I was going to finally get the full picture and I was not disappointed, thank you!!
Poor Sabrina. She had to live a life of hell and then have her brother murder her for literally petty things, but more because she was smarter than him 😔
Having political disputes is not tragic. Its tragic to kill over it. I have very different polical views from my sister. We have fought about it and never has the thought crossed my mind to kill her for it. There is much more to this than we know. Bottom line, he is crazy.
Those terrifying moments before their deaths must have been terrible! Imagine knowing that your own child is killing you & the people that you love & cherish above anything.
I'm always amazed at how people who claim someone shot their family in the head and chest will shoot themselves in the arm or foot to show they were a victim too.
The minute I heard him say to 911 that the intruder was black... !!! He is shot in the foot, the intruder doesn't grab the gun back and finish the job? He doesn't call to his sister and mom for help during the 911 call. Doesn't ask about them when police/medics arrive. I was unaware of the things his sister thought about the men in her family, thanks for the extra information. And walking around wearing a sword, good grief!
A professional hit man? Planned the hit weeks ahead of time, calculating his every move, knows exactly the time they’re home, knows and memorized the layout of the house and precisely where the cameras are located and avoids them, But Oops, forgot his gun! What a reprieve, it’s the one time they forget to secure their rifle!
4:12 As you can tell from the time code I just started watching and I’ve seen enough to know…1) no one broke in. 2) he is the one that for some vile reason, killed his family members(s). 3) he’s an idiot… 911”where were you shot”? Answer…downstairs! Being shot downstairs is a painful place to be wounded and it certainly helps the EMT to know what type of wound to expect! The Eagle Scout picture speaks volumes. Looks like he has every award and the sach doesn’t have space for 1 more badge. He could be a high achiever or his parents expect/demand he strive for perfection. If my family was all murder together I would be so devastated I’d be if not catatonic, on the verge of a breakdown! It doesn’t effect him at all…..stoic guy or a cold blooded murderer.
No it's not. You are beyond worthless. You don't fucking understand how 911 works. The dispatcher is taken information, That's their job period. As soon as somebody calls 9 1 1 and request ambulance they send 1 out right away. People like you just fucking drive me insane. It doesn't matter what the dispatcher does. They're not the ones coming to the call, they're just taking information. The more information they get the more they can tell the cops when they get there so nobody gets hurt further. God people like you are just fucking Unbelievably dumb.
This guy had so many things going for him, he's decently good looking, apparently at least academically capable, a great family that gave him everything, a nice home. He threw it all away for literally no reason and ended 3 good people's lives.
Sorry, to me he's awful looking, with these fat stumpy legs and unfortunately about 20 mins (of not more) of this the interview is shown with a visual of area between those stumpy legs with dirty feet. I almost wanted to puke watching it 🤢
I love coming to your channel. I like hearing little things that you found out or added thats true along the way. I will never forget the interview you personally did with Ryan Wallets dad. Cry I did. You took the story to heart and actually meant his family thats how you know someone loves what they do. Awesome job as always 👍👍👍👍 if I could push the like button a hundred times I would.
This guy is me as a 5-year-old. “Did you take a cookie?” “No! Someone came in and took the cookie and told me they’d push me down if I told!” “Really? Someone broke in to steal a cookie. What did they look like?” “*TV static noise*”
Good morning from North East England, it’s 8:40am here. I’m surprised as I thought South Africa had a bigger time difference to us than 2 hours lol. Have a great day. 🙋🏼♀️👍🏻

That truly made me feel sick. That he had the gall to be so stoic through out everything. Nothing mattered to him. Well why should it he did the unthinkable killing his parents and sister. Yes a monster with a one way ticket to some place warm waiting on him. Thank you monsters your forever awesome.
I can tell by the way the LEOs are asking “Alex WHAT HAPPENED?” They suspect him. And the ambulance scene reminds me of Chacey Pointer without the hyperventilating 😒

GREAT comment!😂
The thing that always got me was, that he got shot in the foot to the point he had to "crawl". He couldn't even walk out to the police when the came.
So he's saying a man , who killed three others, just shot him in the foot and didn't finish the job? He was like "aww man, I gotta get out of here " and ran off ?
Laziest most half-assed attempt at a murder cover-up ever.
That don’t mean anything. Brian kolberger left people alive at place he killed 4, so did bundy when he was killing nursing students in Florida, so did btk
911 dispatcher: “A black man or black shirt?”
Alex: “umm, both?”🤣😩🤦🏾♀️
Yep...
He said that he wrestled the gun away from the black man and was shot in the process.
Poor Sabrina. I wish she could have gotten out of that household and lived her life.
Yes, me too, I felt particularly bad for Sabrina. Her brother and father both sounded miserable to live with. Total psychos. I hate it when parents try to push their views and opinions on their kids. Both her brother and her father attacked her for having her own political opinions. That is such a stupid way to behave.
I bet she does too.🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a shocker of an intro to the video. You are very good at lining up reality for criminal ' insanity '. Super good pacing, and perfect for us working the night shift 😂
Same, as a nurse working a dementia ward my night shifts go better with monsters 😊
@@staybent9380 I just got off a night shift on a general surgery unit!
Hello my fellow nurse 😊
It is extremely rare, that one person gets shot to death in the house, and the survivor only in the foot. Of all places…the foot.. after unloading on a member of the household. He showed his brilliance when he didn’t even fathom that he’d be interviewed by veteran cops of over 5+ years on the job.
I'm sure you know every case
i went to high school with him and was even in classes with him, we were in the same graduating class. absolutely nuts this happened. rip to the entire family.
I watched the trial for this kid. It was clear from the beginning that he'd done it. His story was ridiculous and he clearly shot himself in the foot. What he did to his family was horrendous but he showed no remorse at all. He shot his whole family because he didn't want to get a job! 🙄
Typical 18+ incel living at home, sadly 🤷🏻♀️
Kinda reminds me of the Grant Amatto case. It is amusing to see the cops figure it out so quick.
So little heart, he could only bring himself to going for his foot
@@MarlonBrando414 definitely. This will sound messed up. Even murderers can't do it like the generation before
Things like this make me glad my parents were firm with me while I was controllable I'm older now and if I had a shitty mindset it'd be harder to fix so thank you mom and dad for your expertise
The guys monitor going off as he lays in the hospital bed is the best.
Can only imagine his heart rate as they began to question him.
Improvised lie detector
"We know nobody else went in or out of your house."
"Well that would make me the murderer but that's impossible because I'm shot. In the foot."
"Hear me out but what if, now this going to sound crazy, but what if you shot yourself in the foot?"
"I did not anticipate this question..."
The way this guys answers questions is killing me inside. He thinks everyone is stupid but he’s really the dumbest one there
And he seems to answers questions with a statement that tails off to sound like it’s a question. Bafoon
Unfortunately, it seems that he was deemed “intelligent” by those who were ill-equipped to make such a determination, or just in order to shield him from the truth. Had people been more honest in their evaluations, perhaps Alex would not have felt capable of succeeding in this crime.
@@anhedonianepiphany5588You’re saying he was public schooled?
Its fascinating how so many family killers are young(ish) men and women from relatively affluent families who jump from distress to murder so fast.
Instant gratification.
They have been handed everything taught nothing and then expected to be a productive citizen.... it's crazy.
Hmm, it's probably because they have no resilience.
this guy just speaks/answers questions WITH questions, he keeps “second guessing” himself 😭

The lack of emotional reaction is such a giveaway. If someone broke into my parents house, killed them and my siblings, and left me maimed, I'd probably just kill myself then and there. No doubt I'd be sobbing incoherently the entire time they try to interview me
Same, with snot bubbles and mucus rivers. Full on ugly crying (with damn good reason).
No kidding! And it’s always telling when they claim someone else (especially family) should be there but don’t immediately call out to them to see if they’re okay or responsive.. you can bet that I’d be yelling so crazily that my neighbors would likely call 911 before I could if I weren’t already on the phone with them! The fact he failed to mention his mother and sister were also in the house was the first alarm bell for me when watching the trial; especially when mentioning his sister would’ve been upstairs but never mentioning his mother obviously would be too as it wasn’t like she were out on business or something.
Yeah but then you would look guilty cuz you can’t be too emotional and you can’t be emotionless and if you do this your guilty and if you don’t do it you are guilty. It’s so annoying. I swear I’ve seen the cops and many channels say literally everything shows guilt, only because someone guilty is doing it. When an innocent person does it no one says anything about it.
I really & happily don't know my emotional reaction, I could scream & cry or be frozen stiff from shock.
That's because you're a human being not a monster
Even if I have seen a case covered elsewhere, I always love your take on it.
This guy really did shoot himself in the foot with those bs stories.
Thanks for such great content, Jiles.

me too.
the more this went on, the more awful for Sabrina I felt. Poor kid.
Right?
"I love my family, I would never do anything to hurt them," he said without any emotion or passion.
Any innocent person would feel appalled, angered, and/or confused why people are accusing you of attempting to murder your family. -And any smart person would demand for a lawyer and stop speaking to those people!-
Yeah, that's actually overwhelming evidence that he did it. /s
This guy is one of the least convincing liars I've ever heard, especially when he says he was doing hand to hand combat with the intruder but then can't explain what he looked like, and even after the dispatcher trying to pull answers out of him, he can't do better that "black guy in a black shirt"
In maga Iowa, in that neighborhood, I'm sure someone would have noticed a black guy casing houses in minutes. I did laugh, however, wondering how Alex' "normal" sex life is going in prison.
Yeah, a monochromatic theme, black guy, black shirt, then my memory went black...
@@susanpitcher5956 That's what I said! There have been several stories of black people (not just men) who were interrogated at best or lost their life at worst just being in such a neighborhood (that's not blended). In this case, you can't convince me that the neighborhood Karens wouldn't have been in an uproar on Nextdoor and wouldn't have called the police, if not went out with their piece themselves. He was smart enough to know that it's an easy accusation but not smart enough to know it didn't fit the environment.
This is where the term “shot myself in the foot” came from
😂
Bahahaha!!! 🤣🤣
Just love how he's talking to operator like she should automatically know all this information, lol!
Always the guilty ones!
@@leespup Right?!
@@leespup More precisely, it’s always the “uniquely challenged” guilty ones.
Anyone who told Alex that he was “intelligent” did the entire family a huge disservice. Such an assessment would only be valid when comparing him to a brick.
Tragic as this story is, it's comic no one believed Alex for a second. No one.
To go from being annoying by your family members to just straight up murder them is disgusting
Everything about this case pisses me off
This channel is my new favorite! My bf always catches me watching and asked me, ”you’re not gonna murder me, are you?” I cackled because he’s not into true crime and doesn’t know how difficult it is to murder someone close to you and get away with it… rip to the family of this waste. The irony is lost on him
Yeah that’s the only reason you don’t wanna kill someone. 😝 So, instead of doing it ourselves we have to watch true crime to get our fill. 😜
🤣🤣 if we could only get away with it! Just kidding.
I got shot in 2017
Made me ponder and wonder about vengeance.
Not getting caught was priority #1. And believe me i was plotting.
I tamed my vengeance and glad I did.
@@alvaarez I'm glad for you too.

Well because all you watch is crime stories.

My oldest: EXACTLY 😂
Another excellent video Jiles. Keep up the incredibly well-researched and thorough work. Thank you for sharing.
TiM coming in clutch at bedtime once again! Always appreciate the high quality content.
Couldn't agree more.💙
The police body cam footage alone shows how full of it this guy was, surrounded by his dead family members and he's not even fazed, most people would be trying desperately to see if anything could be done to save them but he's too busy acting like he's at deaths door with his cut leg
The entitlement and fragility here are truly terrifying. How did this person make it to adulthood in order to carry out this massacre? I'm in almost disbelief.
Thanks for also mentioning that the gun was an unusual model and difficult to load. The ballistic expert that had to watch a TH-cam video to understand how to load this gun then showed the jury the weird way in which to insert the rounds, thus proving there's no way an average person could figure it out. A very interesting bit of circumstantial evidence in this case.
"This weapon requires a level in Exotic Weapons proficiency that the average player doesn't have, but that THIS player DOES have."
Dude was dismantled by a Dungeons & Dragons scenario.
@@amityislandchum I think that's a good piece of evidence if this guy had knowledge of that type of gun and its not the easiest than that seems good to me

Sabrina deserved so much better, it’s so horrible to not be allowed your own opinions because the men in the house decided you don’t deserve them
Well if my daughter was joining terrorist that burned down entire cities with they’re angry and think strip shows for children is cute…I would also not be very happy
@@kelseywelsey2924 wow you’re literally the person I’m talking about, you’re allowed to have extremist right wing bigoted views but your children can’t have their own opinions
Liberals are too incompetent to have reasonable opinions
They act like they hate [insert brown radical group], but I really think it's jealousy. They want *exactly* the same things, for women and children to have no rights or protection except for what they choose to bestow upon them in the moment. They want women covered up, in the kitchen, breeding, not talking, not saying "No." They want access to as young a partner as they wish; they want to be able to smack their partner around without consequence, etc.
Two sides of the same rusty coin, but they're so delusional they can't even see it.
I wouldn't trust what anybody is saying when they're trying to convince others to hate someone els. They're always lying in that case.
Sabrina was such a smart beautiful girl and it sounds like Alex inherited some of his personality from his dad
Great observation, Captain Obvious.
Love seeing new episode notifications pop up. Thanks JILES YOU ROCK!
Liar, liar foot on fire...
"I didn't see anything abnormal about Alex while we played video games online together." - Clearly a close friend of Alexs' who knew him intimately... 🙄
my mind is boggled by the number of comments saying that Sabrina caused her own murder by being a "bratty liberal" or whatever
if you think anyone deserves to die over political belief, you've lost touch with reality and need to log off/seek help.
edit: this applies to everyone regardless of affiliation
She was independent that’s not even liberal! People dumb

your channel is CRAZY amazing .. you do great work and do so good for all victims ♥️
First off, thank you for covering this one, Jiles. I found out about this case during the Alex Murdaugh trial and well, ofc the Murdaugh trial had all my attention. I tried getting more info on this Alex on both youtube and reddit and I didn’t come up with anything so it was a nice treat to see your, as always, insightful upload.
June 2021 was a very active time period for both Alex’s but listening to this one’s testimony made me realize how much the other one kinda nailed all the interrogations. The capacity to construct such a huge lie and carry it off is NOT easy. As smart as they said this kid was, he failed miserably at his story. This is probably the worst attempt I’ve ever seen. The naïveté is incredibly baffling. And then his refusal to accept the evidence laid out in front of him is also kinda like a statement on political extremism as well. I feel so bad for Sabrina she was living the college life and coming to age on her own terms. It’s sad!
I’ve watched several videos about this case and been left somewhat confused and wanting a better picture every time, right when I saw you uploaded a video about it I knew I was going to finally get the full picture and I was not disappointed, thank you!!
Poor Sabrina. She had to live a life of hell and then have her brother murder her for literally petty things, but more because she was smarter than him 😔
Having political disputes is not tragic. Its tragic to kill over it. I have very different polical views from my sister. We have fought about it and never has the thought crossed my mind to kill her for it. There is much more to this than we know. Bottom line, he is crazy.
Poor defenseless family. They did not know they were living with their worst enemy.
This guys sounds exactly like my brother in law. Video games, no job, mom's basement, bank of mom and dad. The katana sword sealed the deal.
He joins Grant Amato, Jeff Scullin, & Chandler Halderson as some of the dumbest killers I've ever seen
Those terrifying moments before their deaths must have been terrible! Imagine knowing that your own child is killing you & the people that you love & cherish above anything.
I'm always amazed at how people who claim someone shot their family in the head and chest will shoot themselves in the arm or foot to show they were a victim too.
🙏🏻My favorite channel coming through again when I'm involuntarily awake🤗
I was like YAY FOR THE MIDNIGHT POST! I couldn’t sleep.
Insomnia is lonely. Luv having jiles to listen to
The minute I heard him say to 911 that the intruder was black... !!! He is shot in the foot, the intruder doesn't grab the gun back and finish the job? He doesn't call to his sister and mom for help during the 911 call. Doesn't ask about them when police/medics arrive.
I was unaware of the things his sister thought about the men in her family, thanks for the extra information. And walking around wearing a sword, good grief!
Imagine what an impossible child he must have been, he’s too lazy to think.
What a ridiculous excuse of a man making this very poorly staged phone call. That was child level fake abilities
This young man is making my head hurt. Great video....horrible criminal
Oh my God! The female detective interviewing him is Sarah Lacina, winner of Survivor season 34!
“so he took your gun and shot you” 😂😂😂 the way he screamed yes like he was getting frustrated of bull shitting her
“So he took your gun and shot you” she knew right there
Thank you for including graphic content. Really adds to the intensity of the case!
A professional hit man? Planned the hit weeks ahead of time, calculating his every move, knows exactly the time they’re home, knows and memorized the layout of the house and precisely where the cameras are located and avoids them, But Oops, forgot his gun!
What a reprieve, it’s the one time they forget to secure their rifle!
4:12 As you can tell from the time code I just started watching and I’ve seen enough to know…1) no one broke in. 2) he is the one that for some vile reason, killed his family members(s). 3) he’s an idiot… 911”where were you shot”? Answer…downstairs! Being shot downstairs is a painful place to be wounded and it certainly helps the EMT to know what type of wound to expect!
The Eagle Scout picture speaks volumes. Looks like he has every award and the sach doesn’t have space for 1 more badge. He could be a high achiever or his parents expect/demand he strive for perfection.
If my family was all murder together I would be so devastated I’d be if not catatonic, on the verge of a breakdown!
It doesn’t effect him at all…..stoic guy or a cold blooded murderer.
I recognized her voice. It is her! Winner of season 34. She was a great strategic player and clearly a great detective!
Thank you for enhancing the audio! I've watched this on their local TV station but not even the subtitles helped
Rare occasion when an American dispatcher is actually sympathetic only to find out how fucked up this turned out.
No it's not. You are beyond worthless. You don't fucking understand how 911 works. The dispatcher is taken information, That's their job period. As soon as somebody calls 9 1 1 and request ambulance they send 1 out right away. People like you just fucking drive me insane. It doesn't matter what the dispatcher does. They're not the ones coming to the call, they're just taking information. The more information they get the more they can tell the cops when they get there so nobody gets hurt further. God people like you are just fucking Unbelievably dumb.
This guy had so many things going for him, he's decently good looking, apparently at least academically capable, a great family that gave him everything, a nice home. He threw it all away for literally no reason and ended 3 good people's lives.
He’s definitely not good looking
Decent looking? Lmao, he’s hideous inside AND out! 💀
Sorry, to me he's awful looking, with these fat stumpy legs and unfortunately about 20 mins (of not more) of this the interview is shown with a visual of area between those stumpy legs with dirty feet. I almost wanted to puke watching it 🤢
I love coming to your channel. I like hearing little things that you found out or added thats true along the way. I will never forget the interview you personally did with Ryan Wallets dad. Cry I did. You took the story to heart and actually meant his family thats how you know someone loves what they do. Awesome job as always 👍👍👍👍 if I could push the like button a hundred times I would.
You can tell the 911 operator cracked the case before anyone did 😂
This guy is me as a 5-year-old. “Did you take a cookie?” “No! Someone came in and took the cookie and told me they’d push me down if I told!” “Really? Someone broke in to steal a cookie. What did they look like?” “*TV static noise*”
