They have the local cops wrapped around their finger and they’ve kept them from investigating cases they were involved in. Throw the cops in prison with the entire family.
Let’s not guess the motive. Unless you can read minds you are only speculating about what happened and why. Maggie may have been killed bc she threatened to expose Alex’s theft. Paul may have been an inconvenience, a witness that Alex couldn’t leave alive. Having done criminal cases longer than many have been alive, I know better than to guess why people do things bc people have all sorts of reasons.
Alex killed them for insurance money. He had NO intention of dying, but wanted to frame the idiot who shot at him bc he knew too much... Just like the maid. Evil corrupted family.
He didn’t do it himself but he definitely had the other dude do it then snitched on him he was out of town and had an alibi but they haven’t said who that alibi is if it’s family or friends then that alibi won’t mean 💩 but if it was others with no ties to him then his alibi will b good.

This is after having been previously charged with a number of felonies unrelated to the murder charges he faces now regarding the deaths of his wife and son. He has also been disbarred. It seems the chickens have come home to roost. This does not happen often, certainly not often enough when wealthy and/or powerful people are involved.

What about the cases he trialed as a prosecutor /assisted prosecutor? If he had an opioid addiction for years, those cases he trialed over should be looked into also. This guy is just awful!
I hope the truth will come out without too much interference from the good ol' boy network, The evidence of their hands in this case is already too obvious revealed by the case of Stephen Smith. The complete lack of integrity shown in the house keeper's family's settlement is a huge red flag and seems to paint daddy in the worst possible light. No wonder he tried to fake his own murder. This is a cautionary tale of the dangers of privilege and undeserved power.
You’d be suprised what people do when they have a 500 dollar a day substance habit and an opportunity to steal 10k or 10M comes across their desk … it’s a crime of opportunity, in a position of trust … even if it’s quite a long play … corrupt, money hungry ppl will all have their day though …
Honestly with the water right next to them, wouldn't be surprised if drugs were bing shipped. Probably people and weapons to animals, hell who knows what else. Small town with corrupt politics.
He had an opioid addiction. Not Uncommon to hear cases of people taking $1000's a day in Oxy. Take that times years of being an addict you end up in the millions of dollars. Not to mention the other costs associated with being an addict and making horrible decisions repeatedly. Most people just aren't able to fund an addiction at that level.
Yep they are making it all about a hug drug addiction. I think he had an addiction, but I believe he might have been a supplier, having others deal under him, plain and simple.
I know right?? Only 20K?? I thought it would be in the millions at least. To keep him locked up so wouldn't flee, or try something stupid and so they could build a case against him. I guess law enforcement don't care if he gets out. This case gets more bizarre every day.
Wouldn't the insurance company require the death certificate prior to paying out any monies & see that the death was ruled "natural" but they're paying out an accidental death claim for a slip & fall? Something's not right with the insurance company either.
This family's been getting away with shady crap their whole lives cuz they were a " wealthy prominent respected family"! How wrong that turned out to be! People say he's been buying their way out of trouble n it now comes out he's been stealing money!? He's a real manipulator and narcissistic nutjob!
I don’t believe the drug addiction- just an excuse to get away. I think like you it is all about greed. There has been 5 murders in the last 5 years involving Alex and his sons, I don’t believe anything he and his lawyer says especially the entry and exit head wounds.
@@lindahammond7759 .. I agree you're not that addicted to opioids for 20 years and besides that lawyer already lied about it being a skull fracture the guy would never have been let out of the hospital within one day for a skull fracture
Alex would not have staged his killing to collect insurance, because he had no intentions of dying. The only reason for someone to conjure such a story, would be to make it appear, someone was after the whole family. Including him! That would be because he is the one that killed his wife and son. And the reason he did that probably was for insurance money. And to quiet the story of the boat crash, that has drummed up all the other crimes he has committed. Evil, Greedy, and self-serving at all costs!
This family is notorious for sketchy actions causing random people’s deaths. Buster killing Stephen in 2015, Paul killing Mallory, they all need to go!
I heard that Paul was home. No autopsy, death certificate said natural cause, Paul has anger issues. There has been 5 murders in the last 5 years involving Alex and his sons. I don’t believe what Alex or his Attorney says.
@@djrobbzblog1915 If he was the only one home, he might have pushed her or bumped into her hard. She must have overheard or seen something and needed to be disposed of.
Paul was driving i get it, paul was drunk i get it! What i dont get is why anyone would,by choice, GET IN THE BLOODY BOAT THEY KNEW WAS GONNA BE DRIVEN BY SOMEONE INCAPABLE OF DRIVING!! & MORE - INCAPABLE OF BEING REASONED WITH! why do people climb into cars with drivers they know are intoxicated? Please, dont get into vehicles being driven by drunks - dont do it....theres no happy ending - ever. I promise you!
From the contrived 911 call when he "discovered" his murdered wife/kid, to the murder of his son's gay lover, to the murder of his house keeper, to the shot in the head, while changing his tire, (knife used to slash tire, belonged to him), to the embezzlement, If it wasn't for bad luck, this guy wouldn't have any luck at all! Coincidences?, perhaps.
@@circusbrains Eric Alan, another You Tube channel covers this entire story and there were comments made by a relative of Steven Smith, (the guy found dead in the road) that he was in a relationship with a member of the Murdaugh family and that it wasn't Buster. That leaves either Paul or Alex.
@@bbe3034 I love watching this that talks about the case on u tube cuz they exsplain everything there's something about this case I can't put my fingers on it it just seems so rehurst why would he kill his wife and sons when he new he had so much to loose and that all this would come out and you would think he would have alot of people after him you know been killed in jail but no he's nice and calm and then there the one that said he lent him money why in the hell would you lend him money knowing he's in jail and then go to court to get it back he's a lawyer something fishing and all those bank accounts he new those would be found he's a lawyer.
I can almost certainly guarantee that it was someone associated with either the female that was thrown from the boat or the young man who was beaten and left in the middle of the road dead. Law enforcement is completely stupid when it comes to he investigations into these events. The grandfather is influential and crooked, the sons are both influential and crooked and the father is no better.
All I know is we have more Lawyers in SC per capita. We don't have a lot of crimes here, they must have a side hustle somewhere as you can see. If no crime, they make one up.
Everybody in the legal system of that town appear crooked. I even question the insurance company because her death certificate said died of natural causes, which we know is not true, however since when would insurance pay out for wrongful death with that cause of death on the death certificate?
Corruption always catches ya in the end. There are over a dozen people who would have liked to have been the shooter. Im sure the community is better off.
I feel sad for the 19 year old girl killed on the boat, for the housekeeper (I’m sorry I don’t know the ladies names) and Stephen Smith for their precious lives being caught up in this circus. Their lives and memories are worth so much more than the Murdaughs drama and crimes. They shouldn’t be remembered because of this family.

Because Alex called them. The police didn’t even get there until the helicopter was about to take off. He wanted to get taken out of state to a hospital in Savannah, GA. And I’ve yet to figure out where the mysterious Good Samaritan that gave him a ride fits in.
I didn't understand that either and he was shot in the head would he be able to make that call.and once the helicopter saw his head wouldn't they have called of the helacopter
@@lynnhoffmann247 you might want to look in TH-cam at True Crime Recaps “Murdaugh Family History II South Carolina Drama “. Some of that history about the family you might already know. I didn’t know since I live in Charleston, SC. But I do remember “Operation Jackpot.”
@@lindahammond7759 Thanks, I’ll look & see if I’ve watched it yet - I’ve seen so many TH-cam videos about this case. I moved down to Allendale County in 1983, then to Hampton County in 1992 and had an office job where we only saw clients once or twice a month, so never heard any gossip. I do remember back in 1995 when CXS Railroad finally got out from the state allowing all of their cases to be tried in Hampton County. The Murdaugh’s made millions off of them alone. I now know a lot more people locally than I did back in the 90’s. ETA: Yes, I’ve watched and commented on that episode. 👍🏼
That family offed their housekeeper! N they did it for the money! Alex has to be an evil monster to do that to her boys who clearly trusted him to handle everything to do with her death n law suit asks himself! That's exactly what he counted on tho!
Because he has to explain the bullef that grazed his head - it also would "add to the credibility" if he was killed later, in hopes the I insurance payout to his so is made without delay or question .
More like, he didn't want a slow suffering death and didn't know how bad injury MIGHT be. (or) he hired and expert shotter so he could claim mental instability for trial of wife n son.
No no no. It was an attempted murder that was staged so Alex could get SLED off the investigation of him. He want to make them think that the same Unknown suspects were now trying to kill too. He did not want to be charged with the killing of Maggie and Paul. Also, the life insurance company on his wife refuse to pay Alex as long as long as he was a person of interest. It was agreed that if they got caught, Alex would say assisted suicide.to throw off SlED and get sympathy from future jurors.
He is all about greed. He was trying to save himself. He did not do it for his other son. Do you really believes all the lies from Alex and his lawyer?
Did he plan to return the money he stole from his firm by using funds he WOULD HAVE received from his wife and son's death? Did he really think he could get away with stealing that much? ir just ccx that greedy?
This reminds of the series Ozark. Minus the cartel and the Bryde family of course.. It's the powerful and heavily connected families in a quiet and far away town, with lots of secrets and skeletons.
They should exhume the body of the young man found in the road. I mean initially telling the mother it was a gunshot wound to the head, then changing it to hit and run...something wicked this way comes.
Cmon. We all know what happened here. He’s a big time lawyer, he represents a client that either offered to do him a favor anytime he needed it or he told the client that the client owed him one. Walla, calls a hit on his family. the son might’ve just been in the way or a witness. He probably just didn’t want to be with his wife anymore.
His wife was hiring someone to look over the books cause she suspected something since the accounts kept bouncing, plus she also went and saw a divorce lawyer about 1 hour away.
The kid was becoming a liability due to his pending boat accident that killed Mallory Beach. The wife was preparing to file for divorce and she would have found out that there was no money because he squandered it in drugs.
They meant to get Paul too...He was about to cost papa a bundle in wrongful death and DUI injuries!....The Court fees and fine were gonna be exorbitant as well!
You will see that on TH-cam True Crime Recaps “Murdaugh Family History II South Carolina Drama “. I figured you already knew about marijuana and Operation JackPot. Also how Alex got the 1700 acres hunting lodge for $5.00.
" this is the kind of story that has no good ending" disagree strongly, the good ending is that the correct culprit is identified, prosecuted & processed in to prison.... congratulations to everyone here that did prosecute the correct culprit & it mustve been agonising for them. In the past AM had prosecuted cases with the same man that prosecuted him here,. They upheld the law - & presented the evidence as it was...AM wanted everything, he wanted the money he'd stolen, he wanted the sympathy for his wife & son, he wanted the nasty things to go away - even setting up another man to take the blame. Was gobsmacked that he gave his licence to practice & loss of income away.... so readily & ofcourse that was gonna happen but i think he believed that he'd "get over it " somehow bc thats what i believe...& not worried about $$ for his drugs, he's got plenty stached away..... we'll see i guess....
What ever happened to STEVEN Smith? ?????? ?? JUSTICE FOR S.Smith pls.pls.what happen????? Pls.pls...justice has too be service pls...SMITH PLEASE PLEASE THIS HAS TO BE JUSTICE FOR STEVEN SMITH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. ...
Alex suicide attempt was really staging an attempt of murder so SLED would stop investigating him so life insurance would finally pay him millions for Maggie death. Not sure if Paul had life insurance. He wanted them to think that now the unknown suspects in Maggie and Paul murders were now after him. The “suicide attempt” was a back up plan if they got caught.
Maggie died for the insurance money. Paul died because he was about to go to prison for the boat accident. People keep talking that Alex wasn’t there, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t pay someone else, which I think he did. I think he also orchestrated the Smith boy’s death because he was a gay friend of Buster, and people were gossiping the boys were a couple.
@@kristi4113 Maggie also died because she was about to take Alex to the cleaners in their divorce. She was 1 month away from being legally separated from him; in SC it takes 1 year before divorce can be brought to court on those grounds. That’s also why she asked for a forensic accounting of their assets.
I agree with what the lady said....'it's a whole lot', I might add and some....that boat tragedy set off shockwaves, I just watched the 3 part Netflix series and it was a dozy, John Grishman or Agatha Christie would struggle to write this story.
And Mallory was in the boat with Paul Murdoch while he was drinking. Paul was charged with murder and was never punished…but then was shot 3 days after
When a person does a tonload of nonsense including illegal acts, don't bother to come out publicly to say anything. It just increases your family's embarassment!!!

I feel sorry for all involved but that newscaster in the red sleeveless sweater is absolutely beautiful. Also, there is a new youtube channel called "Eric Alan" who has an extremely good documentary who also lives in the same town in SC.
Karma is a bitch. Buster had my great uncle murdered in 62. He was going to testify against BUSTER to the A.G. of the moonshine operations that he had.
Mallory’s boyfriend said a mouthful that night and I believe every word!

What about the cases he trialed as a prosecutor /assisted prosecutor? If he had an opioid addiction for years, those cases he trialed over should be looked into also. This guy is just awful!
Typical SC corruption
I hope the truth will come out without too much interference from the good ol' boy network, The evidence of their hands in this case is already too obvious revealed by the case of Stephen Smith. The complete lack of integrity shown in the house keeper's family's settlement is a huge red flag and seems to paint daddy in the worst possible light. No wonder he tried to fake his own murder.
This is a cautionary tale of the dangers of privilege and undeserved power.
you are so right
No one steals millions to feed an addiction. They do if they are involved in the drug trade or something else nefarious.
You’d be suprised what people do when they have a 500 dollar a day substance habit and an opportunity to steal 10k or 10M comes across their desk … it’s a crime of opportunity, in a position of trust … even if it’s quite a long play … corrupt, money hungry ppl will all have their day though …
Honestly with the water right next to them, wouldn't be surprised if drugs were bing shipped. Probably people and weapons to animals, hell who knows what else. Small town with corrupt politics.
He had an opioid addiction. Not Uncommon to hear cases of people taking $1000's a day in Oxy. Take that times years of being an addict you end up in the millions of dollars. Not to mention the other costs associated with being an addict and making horrible decisions repeatedly. Most people just aren't able to fund an addiction at that level.
Yep they are making it all about a hug drug addiction. I think he had an addiction, but I believe he might have been a supplier, having others deal under him, plain and simple.
How is the bond set that low, $20K?? Wow the injustice system is really a joke.
I know right?? Only 20K??
I thought it would be in the millions at least.
To keep him locked up so wouldn't flee, or try something stupid and so they could build a case against him. I guess law enforcement don't care if he gets out.
This case gets more bizarre every day.
WHAT ABOUT HIS DEAD 💀 SON THAT CAUSED THE DEATH 💀 OF MALORY???
What about him? That's a vague question, to say the least 🙄
Awe… He’s a very caring person!! 😂
He cares about himself
Sure, bro, sure Lol
🤣
😆😅😂🤣😆😆
Who had the bright idea to play music during the entire video? You people should know better than this.
Wouldn't the insurance company require the death certificate prior to paying out any monies & see that the death was ruled "natural" but they're paying out an accidental death claim for a slip & fall?
Something's not right with the insurance company either.
Alex probably got it changed from natural cause to accidental, then back to natural later.
I covered it on my channel cell free to take a look. You might find something you didn’t know before 😎
The insurance company paid because of the power of the Murdaugh name. Its probably not worth 25 cents now tho.
This family's been getting away with shady crap their whole lives cuz they were a " wealthy prominent respected family"! How wrong that turned out to be! People say he's been buying their way out of trouble n it now comes out he's been stealing money!? He's a real manipulator and narcissistic nutjob!
There is much more that we Aren’t being told, and I bet it’s tied to Political Influence.
I think it's more like look at the face of greed
I don’t believe the drug addiction- just an excuse to get away. I think like you it is all about greed. There has been 5 murders in the last 5 years involving Alex and his sons, I don’t believe anything he and his lawyer says especially the entry and exit head wounds.
@@lindahammond7759 .. I agree you're not that addicted to opioids for 20 years and besides that lawyer already lied about it being a skull fracture the guy would never have been let out of the hospital within one day for a skull fracture
And evil, person has to have an evil heart to kill someone intentionally.
@@FaithandNova He has been evil for a very long time before the 5 murders involving him and his sons in the last 5 years.
Watch Eric Alan. He has so much info on this family.
This is better than the OJ Simpson trial.
yes... cant wait for it on netflix haha
I cannot wait either!
Alex would not have staged his killing to collect insurance, because he had no intentions of dying. The only reason for someone to conjure such a story, would be to make it appear, someone was after the whole family. Including him! That would be because he is the one that killed his wife and son. And the reason he did that probably was for insurance money. And to quiet the story of the boat crash, that has drummed up all the other crimes he has committed. Evil, Greedy, and self-serving at all costs!
So Smith goes through withdrawal in jail, while ol' dude gets medically assisted detox? Nice.
This is wild I live in the area and I just want answers lmao it’s just so many unanswered questions and goes so much further back than we know
Do you know of any other murders the Murdaugh family is connected to? I'm consumed by this mysterious and twisted case.
Lose the irritating background music. Makes it hard to hear/concentrate on the story.
This family is notorious for sketchy actions causing random people’s deaths. Buster killing Stephen in 2015, Paul killing Mallory, they all need to go!
Every little Southern town has characters like this. Arrogant 'big fish in a small town' lawyer/crooks. Their children are usually even worse.
Between the exposure he brought to the 14th circuit and partners at PMPED, Alex may want to avoid 5th floor windows.
He's a very caring person alright. Cares about himself a whole hell of a lot. Doesn't leave much room to "care" for others
When is the NETFLIX series on this case. The entertainment industry has a plethora of material here on this case by itself.
Alex Baldwin would be great for this role
I feel as though he killed his wife and son.
But why would he just kill one son? I’m not saying you are wrong / but how do you pick one?
No way.
He did. The wife was wanting an audit of their $$ and the son was going to need hush money for the cops after Mallory's death.
@@zoeyrochellezhombie829 Reported that she had also gone to see a divorce atty the weak before.
The fact that his law firm is named “PMPED” is in itself a 🚩
Why isn’t anyone asking what family members were at the house when the maid fell?
Was it one family member, or all of them?
@MarkMcCall if I'm NOT mistaken 👁️💭
that #AlexMurdaugh SAID that he was the ONLY ONE @ home. 👁️ Find it HARD to believe ANYTHING he says
I heard that Paul was home. No autopsy, death certificate said natural cause, Paul has anger issues. There has been 5 murders in the last 5 years involving Alex and his sons. I don’t believe what Alex or his Attorney says.
“Timmy’s” friends say he (Paul) told them he was home…Alex was covering for him. 🤐 Allegedly…
The doggy did it !!!!!
@@djrobbzblog1915 If he was the only one home, he might have pushed her or bumped into her hard. She must have overheard or seen something and needed to be disposed of.
Wanna bet that this family presented themselves as good, humble Christians and Conservatives…🤪
You'd lose the bet.
LOL, like those creds actually mean anything.
They are and were Democrats.
The stress in his voice completely changes when he notifies the dispatcher he already touched them. (6-7min mark).
Yeah I caught that too! 🙄
5:20 mark.
Dudes a fraud all around. His 911 call reminds me of Kavanaughs accuser
@@yurmabeechaudits3522 Reminds me of rump
i noticed that too! lol
Paul was driving i get it, paul was drunk i get it! What i dont get is why anyone would,by choice, GET IN THE BLOODY BOAT THEY KNEW WAS GONNA BE DRIVEN BY SOMEONE INCAPABLE OF DRIVING!! & MORE - INCAPABLE OF BEING REASONED WITH! why do people climb into cars with drivers they know are intoxicated? Please, dont get into vehicles being driven by drunks - dont do it....theres no happy ending - ever. I promise you!
From the contrived 911 call when he "discovered" his murdered wife/kid, to the murder of his son's gay lover, to the murder of his house keeper, to the shot in the head, while changing his tire, (knife used to slash tire, belonged to him), to the embezzlement, If it wasn't for bad luck, this guy wouldn't have any luck at all! Coincidences?, perhaps.
@@circusbrains Pretty sure I had read that one of the sons was sexually involved with the gay kid who was allegedly the victim of a hit and run.
@@circusbrains Eric Alan, another You Tube channel covers this entire story and there were comments made by a relative of Steven Smith, (the guy found dead in the road) that he was in a relationship with a member of the Murdaugh family and that it wasn't Buster. That leaves either Paul or Alex.
@@krickette5569 i pretty sure he said from “a prominent family” ...not specifically “The Murdaugh Family”
Watch Eric Alan. He has so much info on this case.
@@bbe3034 I love watching this that talks about the case on u tube cuz they exsplain everything there's something about this case I can't put my fingers on it it just seems so rehurst why would he kill his wife and sons when he new he had so much to loose and that all this would come out and you would think he would have alot of people after him you know been killed in jail but no he's nice and calm and then there the one that said he lent him money why in the hell would you lend him money knowing he's in jail and then go to court to get it back he's a lawyer something fishing and all those bank accounts he new those would be found he's a lawyer.
Murdoch: *stages crimes
Phelps from the LAPD: “Go house-to-house to see what you’ve come up with.”
I can almost certainly guarantee that it was someone associated with either the female that was thrown from the boat or the young man who was beaten and left in the middle of the road dead. Law enforcement is completely stupid when it comes to he investigations into these events. The grandfather is influential and crooked, the sons are both influential and crooked and the father is no better.
...or the mysterious fall/ death of the maid.
I think it was a hired hit on his wife and son by him for the money.
@@sheilacrabtree5993 I think you are on the right track
Most of us think alex is behind the murders of his wife and "Child"
Its the Dad! Duh!
All I know is we have more Lawyers in SC per capita. We don't have a lot of crimes here, they must have a side hustle somewhere as you can see. If no crime, they make one up.
Everybody in the legal system of that town appear crooked. I even question the insurance company because her death certificate said died of natural causes, which we know is not true, however since when would insurance pay out for wrongful death with that cause of death on the death certificate?
Maybe he had taken out a life insurance policy on her and he was the one who benefited, Then how she died wouldn't matter.
Corruption always catches ya in the end. There are over a dozen people who would have liked to have been the shooter. Im sure the community is better off.
I feel sad for the 19 year old girl killed on the boat, for the housekeeper (I’m sorry I don’t know the ladies names) and Stephen Smith for their precious lives being caught up in this circus. Their lives and memories are worth so much more than the Murdaughs drama and crimes. They shouldn’t be remembered because of this family. They should be remembered for the wonderful beautiful people they were and the lives they led.
it’s so hard to believe that this is happening where i live….like where nothing happens.
yep, but when something finally happens, its a real doozy!!
The voice of a Murdaugh makes my skin crawl!!!! So feminine and shady!!!!. Maybe they will ALL rot in prison!!!
Can we give the brothers The Oscar for best supporting actors?
No shit...he is a very caring person.....shhhhiitt.
Then why were they air lifting him if they saw no enters or exits...?
Because Alex called them. The police didn’t even get there until the helicopter was about to take off. He wanted to get taken out of state to a hospital in Savannah, GA. And I’ve yet to figure out where the mysterious Good Samaritan that gave him a ride fits in.
I didn't understand that either and he was shot in the head would he be able to make that call.and once the helicopter saw his head wouldn't they have called of the helacopter
@@lynnhoffmann247 you might want to look in TH-cam at True Crime Recaps “Murdaugh Family History II South Carolina Drama “. Some of that history about the family you might already know. I didn’t know since I live in Charleston, SC. But I do remember “Operation Jackpot.”
@@lindahammond7759 Thanks, I’ll look & see if I’ve watched it yet - I’ve seen so many TH-cam videos about this case. I moved down to Allendale County in 1983, then to Hampton County in 1992 and had an office job where we only saw clients once or twice a month, so never heard any gossip. I do remember back in 1995 when CXS Railroad finally got out from the state allowing all of their cases to be tried in Hampton County. The Murdaugh’s made millions off of them alone. I now know a lot more people locally than I did back in the 90’s.
ETA: Yes, I’ve watched and commented on that episode. 👍🏼
“My wife and child…”. Child? Not even son? That’s a lot of emotional distance.
A hundred year legacy wiped out in a matter of months... Oh! How the mighty do fall!
That family offed their housekeeper! N they did it for the money! Alex has to be an evil monster to do that to her boys who clearly trusted him to handle everything to do with her death n law suit asks himself! That's exactly what he counted on tho!
Any monies obtained by books and films should go to his and his family's victims.
@@mariahenrich9602 Absolutely!
Am I the only one who noticed Riley Miller saying " Murdock ", not " Murdaugh " ? 🤔
That's exactly how they pronounce it. "Alec Murdock". They have their own unique accents and dialect in that region.
What I don't get, if he hired this man to shoot him, why phone 911 for help then?
Because he has to explain the bullef that grazed his head - it also would "add to the credibility" if he was killed later, in hopes the I insurance payout to his so is made without delay or question
.
More like, he didn't want a slow suffering death and didn't know how bad injury MIGHT be. (or) he hired and expert shotter so he could claim mental instability for trial of wife n son.
No no no. It was an attempted murder that was staged so Alex could get SLED off the investigation of him. He want to make them think that the same Unknown suspects were now trying to kill too. He did not want to be charged with the killing of Maggie and Paul.
Also, the life insurance company on his wife refuse to pay Alex as long as long as he was a person of interest.
It was agreed that if they got caught, Alex would say assisted suicide.to throw off SlED and get sympathy from future jurors.
He is all about greed. He was trying to save himself. He did not do it for his other son. Do you really believes all the lies from Alex and his lawyer?
Did he plan to return the money he stole from his firm by using funds he WOULD HAVE received from his wife and son's death? Did he really think he could get away with stealing that much? ir just ccx that greedy?
Easy to get away with murder in South if you are rich white and priviliged. Pretty much anywhere in US. But mostly South.
This reminds of the series Ozark. Minus the cartel and the Bryde family of course.. It's the powerful and heavily connected families in a quiet and far away town, with lots of secrets and skeletons.
They should exhume the body of the young man found in the road. I mean initially telling the mother it was a gunshot wound to the head, then changing it to hit and run...something wicked this way comes.
Cmon. We all know what happened here. He’s a big time lawyer, he represents a client that either offered to do him a favor anytime he needed it or he told the client that the client owed him one. Walla, calls a hit on his family. the son might’ve just been in the way or a witness. He probably just didn’t want to be with his wife anymore.
Cody i think you nailed it !!!
His wife was hiring someone to look over the books cause she suspected something since the accounts kept bouncing, plus she also went and saw a divorce lawyer about 1 hour away.
The kid was becoming a liability due to his pending boat accident that killed Mallory Beach. The wife was preparing to file for divorce and she would have found out that there was no money because he squandered it in drugs.
They meant to get Paul too...He was about to cost papa a bundle in wrongful death and DUI injuries!....The Court fees and fine were gonna be exorbitant as well!
They weren't living together at the time of the killings if u haven't heard that news yer
Nothing about the newest allegation that he was smuggling drugs in the past via his Beaufort coastal properties with a family from Allendale County? 🤔
The alternative news is way ahead of the Lamestream Media.
I knew it, once I heard the length of their family history I figured there's was either drug smuggling or trafficking involved.
@@TheListOf i
You will see that on TH-cam True Crime Recaps “Murdaugh Family History II South Carolina Drama “. I figured you already knew about marijuana and Operation JackPot. Also how Alex got the 1700 acres hunting lodge for $5.00.
His law firm “pImped”.. how much you wanna bet we gonna hear about human trafficking?
Do we know if the wife and/or son had life insurance? If so, how much?
Of course they did.
" this is the kind of story that has no good ending" disagree strongly, the good ending is that the correct culprit is identified, prosecuted & processed in to prison.... congratulations to everyone here that did prosecute the correct culprit & it mustve been agonising for them. In the past AM had prosecuted cases with the same man that prosecuted him here,.
They upheld the law - & presented the evidence as it was...AM wanted everything, he wanted the money he'd stolen, he wanted the sympathy for his wife & son, he wanted the nasty things to go away - even setting up another man to take the blame. Was gobsmacked that he gave his licence to practice & loss of income away.... so readily & ofcourse that was gonna happen but i think he believed that he'd "get over it " somehow bc thats what i believe...& not worried about $$ for his drugs, he's got plenty stached away..... we'll see i guess....
I just listened to the 911 call that came up in my suggestions list. I gave this dude the benefit of the doubt but after seeing THIS…all hell no!
That GMA clip was cringe.
This is what happens when a family that becomes to powerful gets embedded in a small town , they become like the MOB !!
Alex Murdaugh, charged with 2 counts of murder, and possession of a weapon, during a violent crime; by SLED and grand jury 7/14/22
What ever happened to STEVEN Smith? ?????? ?? JUSTICE FOR S.Smith pls.pls.what happen????? Pls.pls...justice has too be service pls...SMITH PLEASE PLEASE THIS HAS TO BE JUSTICE FOR STEVEN SMITH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. ...
This family is cursed...........
No, just corrupt.
I wonder if there was a life insurance policy on his wife and son????
Of course there was
Life insurance on Maggie and Paul? would not pay Alex until he was no longer a suspect.
Alex suicide attempt was really staging an attempt of murder so SLED would stop investigating him so life insurance would finally pay him millions for Maggie death. Not sure if Paul had life insurance. He wanted them to think that now the unknown suspects in Maggie and Paul murders were now after him. The “suicide attempt” was a back up plan if they got caught.
Maggie died for the insurance money. Paul died because he was about to go to prison for the boat accident.
People keep talking that Alex wasn’t there, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t pay someone else, which I think he did. I think he also orchestrated the Smith boy’s death because he was a gay friend of Buster, and people were gossiping the boys were a couple.
@@kristi4113 Maggie also died because she was about to take Alex to the cleaners in their divorce. She was 1 month away from being legally separated from him; in SC it takes 1 year before divorce can be brought to court on those grounds. That’s also why she asked for a forensic accounting of their assets.
He definitely killed the wife & son
I cant help but think he actually killed his wife and kid. The kid was besmirching his name and his wife was looking into the family finances
I have wondered if he killed them.
Agree
I agree with what the lady said....'it's a whole lot', I might add and some....that boat tragedy set off shockwaves, I just watched the 3 part Netflix series and it was a dozy, John Grishman or Agatha Christie would struggle to write this story.
Did we forget about the housekeeper? Did we forget about the girl hit with the boat?
What girl hit with a boat?

HE DID IT! HE DID IT!!
When a person does a tonload of nonsense including illegal acts, don't bother to come out publicly to say anything. It just increases your family's embarassment!!!
It's interesting that his law firm's name looks like "PIMPED".
Ya, I noticed that, as well.
This reminds me of a real life version of " The Firm " . The Tom Cruise movie. 😉
You can’t have one family having so much power it’s ridiculous
Five dead around one guy. No arrests. Man he got. Power. 1700 acres land. He got whole system in his pockets. Then he gets out of. Jail (Sham rehab then goes back to rehab what a bunch of idiots. Just screwing the area. Just a criminal. No one else would be allowed to get out of jail. He’s. Just a criminal with criminal mind. If theif. Death!!!
It's like a soap opera. No disrespect to the mom and son.
He is a Murdaughrer. Guilty of Murdaugh!
