Murdaugh family is an example of growing up privileged, entitled, and never hearing the word No. Their legacy will forever be synonymous with greed, gluttony, and corruption.
@@raydavison4288 Sorry but the "plantation owners", their violent slave masters & their "veterinarians" should have been charged for their crimes of kidnapping, torture, assault, rape, castration, murder, etc. before being publically hung & left twisting in the wind until the gallows was needed for the next slaver...
They say that the third generation loses the money ,but not in this case . If the third generation had lost it all , then the fourth and fifth would have been fine . So sad , too bad . Thankgod my Great Grandfather’s fortune was dispersed in my father’s time . 😂
that is what the saying “the sins of the father will be visited on the children” means Everyone thinks it means that children are RESPONSIBLE for what their father might do wrong…but it isn’t. It is that what a father does will have life experience consequences for following generations, the descendants are AFFECTED by the actions.
It’s important to note Alex had millions but stole the money from insurance meant to go to his deceased housekeepers sons. One son was taking care of his disabled brother when their trailer home foreclosed and rendered them homeless while wealthy Alex still picketed all of their money. His alibi also has not checked out during the murder of his wife and son and everyone in his life, including his loved ones, have testified against him. The kids on the boat all testified that Paul hit his girlfriend and drive naked and recklessly out of anger as they begged him to stop. They crashed and Mallory died. This is the most vile family I’ve ever heard of and the scary thing is this power has lingered in the south for generations but the “good ole boys club” is slowly dying.
Nay the good old boy club will always be there even when there no more Alex because there more there just like him money ,power , hiding in the shadows they all had there hand in the cookie jar with Alex people will be surprised who they are if ever found out .Guess just like Epstein little black book powerful people in it guess someone shut him up . Remember keep your friends close and your enemies closer
You forgot to mention how awful Maggie was on the phone call to 911 when Gloria Satterfield fell on the steps. It really inconvenienced her day! Horrible family, all of them, even the family still alive sticking up for the dead ones and Alex!!!
"As having an intact head is important to remaining alive".... this is why we have to pay attention to the video. No lead-up to the great one liner, no drum roll, just strolls along and hits us with the best line ever
This family reminds me of the "affluenza" case, where the young boy committed vehicular homicide of several people while he was also "under the influence." He received a slap on the wrist, after which he and his enabler mother went on th run to Mexico. Lovely people, aren't they?
I'm a native local to the area, live close to the Murdaugh law firm actually. My entire life I've always heard if you wanna make some shit go away, you talk to Alex and he'll hook you up lol. Paul was only a year or two older than me so we had a few mutual friends and our parents went to highschool together. I've heard from mutual friends that Paul was a chronic alcoholic and that all he'd ever do at parties was stand in the corner with a bottle and drink liquor. It's absolutely crazy seeing this story being talked about by so many people.
@@Alex-kg4ko So Alex would have blood spatter from being there defending he & his wife. What makes that plausible is Alex is an atty & he should know CSI! SO MANY DEATHS! Maybe Paul did them all with Buster trying to protect little bro with st killing. God knows!
@@Alex-kg4ko I have tried to wrap my head around this, but the only reason I can think of for Paul killing Maggie is that it was a plan that Alex came up with to keep all of the estate. Then Alex cleaned up the mess and only witness by blasting his own son. I tend to believe that if Alex did it, then he shot both of them. Maggie first with Paul's gun that is now missing, then Paul coming out of the storage room to check what was happening. Or Alex somehow got lucky and left the kennel right before two killers arrived. The latter seems less likely tbh.
Murder in the Murdaugh family. Enough drama for a made-for-television series, as well as some possible urban legends. Thank you for your analysis, Dr. Grande!
Funny thing is this plot has similarities to the new season of Dexter. In this season Dexter sets his signs of the rich, entitled bratty son of a wealthy, powerful local. The kid killed innocent people by recklessly crashing into their boat.
There's no way he spent millions and millions of dollars on opioids. Gambling, that's where millions go, imo. And that's just the millions missing from the law office, what about the 3 million from the death lawsuit of the maid. Privilege and greed ruined this family, addiction is secondary
@@rhondasisco-cleveland2665 ^^ Yes your theory fits best, IMO so that- and additionally possible "pay-off"/hush money for the MULTIPLE sh!t sons' involvement in just two of the cases of extremely hideous behavior with tragic outcomes *that we know about* where each were tied to the heartbreaking deaths of two other young people; their alleged involvements/culpability therein ranging from "definitely responsible" as to the belligerent BUI resulting in a death and endangerment of his friends, to "cmon. this kid idiot did it" (my very unprofessional opinion) in regards to the hit and run. "there's no get out of jail FREE card" as they say, so payoffs and dirty under the table transactions is where I'd put my money on this one too
I notice you did not mention that Gloria Satterfield had 4.3 million dollars of life insurance. Since when does someone take out 4.3 million dollars of life insurance on the life of a housekeeper? This alone makes her death highly suspicious.
@@follybeachusa I think it's just as suspicious to have a limit that high on AD & D clauses in homeowners insurance policies. Typical limits are much lower.
That was home owner's insurance...he had a large home and when someone slip, falls, and completely dies, your homeowners insurance is about to get sued for everything it's worth.
Yes, Gloria, the housekeeper had raised Paul and Buster. She had worked for them 25 years. She had 2 sons and 1 was sadly mentally retarded. Alex told them, he would take care of them after Gloria’s death. The boys were living in their mom’s trailer and Alex let them lose the trailer and become homeless! That is certainly evil! Alex actually had a 4 million dollar insurance policy on Gloria! I hope he goes to prison! 😡😡
Paul had a $30m dollar lawsuit hanging over the family like a black cloud from the boat accident. It’s pretty clear why one son was targeted over the other one.
I’ve said from beginning son causing boat accident and girls death would have to go, guess wife had a good insurance policy to help him out too … very sad for surviving family members with morals ….
WOW YOU THINK SINCE HE LOST HIS LICENSE HE COULDN'T GET ANY OF IT. HE MANUFACTURED CASES TO STEAL FROM VICTIMS TO CONTINUE THEN INSURANCE MONEY POPPED IN HIS HEAD
I knew a guy in high school who was similar in personality and behavior to the prosecutor’s son. His parents came into large sums of money by selling off land that had been in their family for generations and by renting out small, run down homes in the community. He was arrogant and behaved in ways that screamed, “I’m entitled!” He waved 100 dollar bills around in classes and at school dances and football games. We all lived in a small town in the 1970s when inflation was rampant, so he used his money to impress everyone and to get his way. He married a beautiful, sweet girl right out of high school, but she divorced him a year later due to his drinking, drug use, abusive behavior, etc. Long story short...he ended up broke, living in a broken down mobile home and alone...he’s still a womanizer and still drinks and occasionally takes drugs. He caused much heartache over the years and he was arrested many times...his family will have nothing to do with him.
One thing that wasn't mentioned, Alex's wife had hired a forensic account to go though the family"s personal account. It is reported she had found irregularities. Then she ends up dead.
Alex had them both killed. A "two for one" deal. Get rid of the kid with a pending murder trial and also the wife who was getting ready to take him to the cleaners. Alex I suspected staged the scene for the housekeepers death and then manipulated the financial payout from her death with his cronies. I hope justice will be served.

Loved you statement "Being powerful often leads to abusing power." And then laughed at the comment "Having an intact head is important to staying alive.," ;D Love the incredible amount of work and care you put into all your content, and very much appreciate your unique, very witty humor! ♡
Unfortunately opiate abuse/addiction and cocaine use is not uncommon in the legal profession. I was shocked to find out my best friend’s lawyer son was introduced to drug use in a well known “party group” of lawyers, judges and physicians…
How timely that I stumbled upon this video, since the trial of Alex Murdaugh for murder is currently in progress. This reminds me of the OJ Simpson trial where the defense is stacked with the best lawyers. Thank you Dr Grande for your detail analysis and hopefully you will provide an update review of this trial.
Thanks for covering this. I've been following this case since Maggie and Paul were murdered. This case just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. I live in the Lowcountry and I think this family has been drinking way too much marsh water. And just as a side note, we don't say things the way they're spelled because that would be too easy; Alex Murdaugh is actually pronounced as ALEC MURDOCK. I know, I don't get it either. Just a real deep-fried Southern Gothic novel unfolding before our eyes.
The Prosecution has not done a great job of presenting the case. Alex was fired because of theft of firm and of victims represented by firm. The fire arm used on Alex was a 22. Alex was not seriously injured. The Prosecution has not presented a clear timeline of events. Good chance the jury will hang. Court TV, Law and Crime are carrying the trial. Emily D Baker a legal commentator is carrying the trial .
Read several generations of crimes not only AM's crimes! This families was allowed to be rich , substance use age , & powerful. Has karma followed? Best real murder & crime stories Years of more discoveries to come to light! Stay tune! 📖📚
This has been never ending here in SC. Just when you think you heard it all, more misdeeds come up. Alot of corruption going on here. You will probably have to update this weekly.
I love how quickly you get to the point and how calm you are during your presentation. Also, your subtle humor. It was Packed full of information in a short period of time as well as very interesting. Thank you
Dr. Grande thanks for doing an analysis on this disturbing to everyone case. Reinforces my belief that just because someone is from a family that is a lot richer with old money that doesn't automatic mean their lives are a lot easier than mine is.
Money has ruined many lives and families. Leisure is dangerous for those without morals and self-control. And after you have driven a $250,000 car for six months, it's just your car.
Dr Grande- "...Because they're dead." Could I love this man anymore? I think not. (Proper use of ellipsis? 🙂) Another great video! Well Alex, if you're going to destroy a 100 year family legacy, do it to the best of your ability. Mission accomplished. I hope Buster gets the help and support he needs.
@@JustDr.S I know it's possible he was involved but I just don't think so. There isn't a shred of evidence to tie Buster to anything. Just because he's a part of that family doesn't make him guilty in my mind. If anything I would have to guess that dad and bro were ashamed that there was a rumored relationship between Buster and Stephen.
@@royalmichaels1289 I just wonder why it seemed to be so quietly and widely believed to be him immediately by so many people though. There are those that surely did not ALL have a true reason to assume his involvement beyond, like you said, merely being part of this family/assumptions based solely therein...but it's those that were close enough to him to be called in by state investigators, like the person in the short audio clip, that were scared and reluctant to even speak their name that definitely had me asking, well wait now why did they (the witness/one being questioned) not just rebuke the allegations right away about Buster, even if they had truly believed or even known him to be involved in Stephen's death? The reporting here that there were multiple or many people that acted this way, apprehensive to even speak his name one way or the other, is feeling idk sketchy at best. MAN! This case by case by case saga of this family is in a word: bonkers. Tragically and like neverending-ly bonkers.
@@1hawtMetz I love to hear from people like you who aren't afraid to look at the facts and put pieces to a story together and come to their own conclusion. The reasons folks do this imo is that they don't want to think for themselves. They just take anything they are told and accept it even when it doesn't make sense. Similar principle as when interviewing a suspect you never give them the chance to deny. Once you make that first leap into doesn't make sense then it's easier and easier to go down that path and make even bigger stretches. Imo, Buster is the living person suffering the most. I believe him to be different and that's probably part of what saved him from his family and from turning into them. I fully believe he is a victim.
I've listened to a lot of discussions of this story, but this one is the most amusing while still providing relevant information and clear analysis. Thanks!
Overly indulgent rich Daddy is overly protective of his self-important punk son, leading to horrific shotgun deaths of his family and taking a bullet (sort of). And now he's going to face REALLY BIG prison time. I bet he gets 20+ years just for what they've got on him so far. PERFECT!
“Having a intact head is important to survive.” Wow isn’t that a great truth! For mankind as well! Also having power often leads to abusing power! Both are why we must learn to correctly love ourselves to truth in one another! TT Dr Grande!
This has all the elements of the type of intrigue characteristic of a novel by Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides, The Great Santini, Lords of Discipline), though I suspect that even that venerable South Carolina writer could have come up with so many fascinating twists and turns in a story.
I really think this shows how damaging it can be when you try to 'protect' those close to you from the repercussions of their actions - as in most cases, preventing these repercussions (losing their job, going to jail etc) endangers them even more in the future as they are never forced to examine and change their ways, which can eventually lead to significant harm/death of themselves, or others Especially when this pattern of covering is repeated with each generation.
Great analysis Dr Grande . With some people, power and fame corrupts. I just hope those innocent people who were killed, gets the justice they deserve. Thank you Dr Grande, that was a brilliant topic.
Buster must be in hiding. After all, I personally believe Alex murdered his wife and son, Paul. I also believe Paul murdered Steven, and of course he was completely culpable for the death of Mallory.
Buster (real name Kevin) is the one suspected of killing Stephen Smith. They were friends, or something. So, all except the mom seem guilty of something or other.
Why do you believe Paul killed Steven? As noted in the video, there is no actual information about why Paul was suspected in the death of Steven, except that he was questioned. But why was he questioned? Was he questioned as part of a group, i.e., anybody who knew Steven? Or some other reason? And Paul seems like a person with no redeeming characteristics, and yet why did someone kill him and his mother? Was it in fact revenge for the death of the girl on the boat, or was there some other reason? And again, given his other unhinged behavior, it seems quite possible that Alex may have murdered his wife and Paul, but again, why? There seems not to be much information about motives in this case.
12:01 one of my favorite clips ever about this case. Dr. Grande...your look of disbelief with the Timmy character is priceless. I come back to it if I need a boost.
Yes...please analyze this crazy case! We need you to sort it out!! Always good to switch over to your channel when so many questions arise in complicated events. 👍🤔
Your videos gave me something to look forward to each day I was sick this week, Dr. Grande. I’m ever so grateful for all the work and care you put into the content you present everyday. ❤️ I think this case is, by design, a mysterious one. 🤨 There are so many inside jobs and cover-ups with these families, it’s likely we will never know. I think the son was no good to his core and the family and others paid for the creation of that monster.
Dear Dr Todd, good analysis. Apart from the fact that use of illegal substances is harmful, as you mentioned, the use of so called legal intoxicats, like alcohol, is also harmful for the person using it and for the community. It has been extensively proved by scientific research and is also prohibited in ALL religions, including in original Christianity. It is causing millions of deaths, misery, crimes, lost healths and careers, broken marriages, welfare, and costing hundreds of billions in health bills and lost productivity.
No chance of bad blood getting into the Grande line! Imho, one of the reasons so many of us respect Dr G and his work is his inherent decency, it’s so comforting and inspiring in this troubled world. I think many, if not most of us have lost all faith in those meant to represent, judge and entertain us; where generosity, compassion and honesty is vital, all we get is greed, selfishness and lies. It’s reassuring that so many love this channel and that it’s growing all the time; as well as testament to the incredible quality & Grande work ethic it maybe also shows that regular folks are, for the main part, good, if they’re drawn to a man who is carved out of integrity, intelligence and compassion.😭🖖
Thanks for covering the case, I really enjoyed this. You did a really good job of succinctly describing all this vast and nuanced information in an incredibly cogent manner. Not a skill everyone possesses, especially in relation to this case.
Dr. Grande has moved from wearing ties to wearing button-down shirts, loose around the neck- and so I feel like a little kid seeing her teacher in Target for the first time. 😳
Jeepers Dr. Grande. Can you please do this one again only go a little slower? Or maybe provide a program. I can't keep up with all the characters in this one. Thanks Doc.🙂
Just watching some of the footage of Murdaugh's trial. He seems to have been a thoroughgoing piece of work. He stole from his firm, his clients and even tried to steal the compensation for the family of his housekeeper who had worked for the Murdaugh family for twenty years. It would be interesting to hear your take on the trial, Dr Grande.
Thanks for answering my question Dr. Grande!!! ❤️ I kept hearing about this case and all the different details. It seemed...complicated. Thanks for your analysis!!!
"Certain people will never be convicted of anything because they're dead", just goes to show that if you're determined enough you can weasel your way out of anything.

Alex was named in that lawsuit too, targeting Paul made no difference.

Seems like there’s so much more to this story than what we know still. I bet there’s a long list of people who hated this family.
Wait till Alex goes to prison!
That Chapter did a two parter on this case. Very in depth. You might want to check it out. It's entertaining, too!
@@JustDr.S Came here to say that! He explained everything with so many details.
@@kikilo9647 Yeah, Mike did a great job and I'm glad he did the update, too. Glad he gave it a goo! 😂
@@JustDr.S thanks I’m so intrigued I’m going to look this Channel up!
Loved you statement "Being powerful often leads to abusing power." And then laughed at the comment "Having an intact head is important to staying alive.," ;D
Love the incredible amount of work and care you put into all your content, and very much appreciate your unique, very witty humor! ♡
Great timing !!!....I just sat down after doing some gardening, now I'm getting my daily fix of Dr Grande.
Remember to breathe Maureen LOL
@@tomlewis5542 Lol...ok all good !!
Unlike Opioids or alcohol, addiction to Dr. Grande's videos is not unhealthy!
@@bthomson Ha ha ha...so very true.
Unfortunately opiate abuse/addiction and cocaine use is not uncommon in the legal profession. I was shocked to find out my best friend’s lawyer son was introduced to drug use in a well known “party group” of lawyers, judges and physicians…
Thank you for this Dr.Grande this family tree has shaken a few bad seeds out, I hope all the victims get justice .
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
The sad part to me is that the Beach family has offered their condolences, even with having lost one of their own.
That is true class.
Very classy
The Beach family are good people. They have compassion.
Heartbreaking for the Beach family. I’m sorry for the loss of their beautiful daughter.
That's not sad, that's character. The Beach family has character and forgiveness.
How timely that I stumbled upon this video, since the trial of Alex Murdaugh for murder is currently in progress. This reminds me of the OJ Simpson trial where the defense is stacked with the best lawyers. Thank you Dr Grande for your detail analysis and hopefully you will provide an update review of this trial.
The evidence is all circumstantial 🤷🏼♀️.
He was found guilty yesterday, too.
Thanks for covering this. I've been following this case since Maggie and Paul were murdered. This case just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. I live in the Lowcountry and I think this family has been drinking way too much marsh water. And just as a side note, we don't say things the way they're spelled because that would be too easy; Alex Murdaugh is actually pronounced as ALEC MURDOCK. I know, I don't get it either. Just a real deep-fried Southern Gothic novel unfolding before our eyes.
Its a year later. Hes on trial for his wife & son's murder. I'd love to read your thoughts thus far.

The Prosecution has not done a great job of presenting the case. Alex was fired because of theft of firm and of victims represented by firm. The fire arm used on Alex was a 22. Alex was not seriously injured. The Prosecution has not presented a clear timeline of events. Good chance the jury will hang. Court TV, Law and Crime are carrying the trial. Emily D Baker a legal commentator is carrying the trial .
Read several generations of crimes not only AM's crimes! This families was allowed to be rich , substance use age , & powerful. Has karma followed?
Best real murder & crime
stories Years of more discoveries to come to light! Stay tune! 📖📚
Irish name
This is the craziest story in a long time!!!
"Had an alibi" has come to mean nothing to me.
Always interesting.
Your analysis is spot on.
Your humor is outstanding.
Peace 💕🇺🇸🇺🇸💕
"Alex assumed he didn't use his head anyway, so why not shoot it?" Was optimum.
*brain
🤣
That had me LMAO!
Dr. Grande stays with the shade!
Deadly 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
This has been never ending here in SC. Just when you think you heard it all, more misdeeds come up. Alot of corruption going on here. You will probably have to update this weekly.
I love how quickly you get to the point and how calm you are during your presentation. Also, your subtle humor. It was Packed full of information in a short period of time as well as very interesting. Thank you
Dr. Grande thanks for doing an analysis on this disturbing to everyone case. Reinforces my belief that just because someone is from a family that is a lot richer with old money that doesn't automatic mean their lives are a lot easier than mine is.
Yep. Nor does it mean they automatically operate from a place integrity, dignity and compassion and, gratitude for their material largess.
Money has ruined many lives and families. Leisure is dangerous for those without morals and self-control. And after you have driven a $250,000 car for six months, it's just your car.
I look forward to the wit of Dr Grande possibly more than the subject matter. He just keeps such a straight face. Priceless! Keep it up 'Doc'.
I would love an update to this case after all that's been discovered during the trial 😳
Power and greed always has unhappy ending.
Great video Dr Grande as always!!!
Dr Grande- "...Because they're dead." Could I love this man anymore? I think not. (Proper use of ellipsis? 🙂)
Another great video!
Well Alex, if you're going to destroy a 100 year family legacy, do it to the best of your ability. Mission accomplished.
I hope Buster gets the help and support he needs.
Buster is the one who was thought to be involved in the car accident/shooting death of the young man, Stephen Smith.
@@JustDr.S I know it's possible he was involved but I just don't think so. There isn't a shred of evidence to tie Buster to anything. Just because he's a part of that family doesn't make him guilty in my mind.
If anything I would have to guess that dad and bro were ashamed that there was a rumored relationship between Buster and Stephen.
@@royalmichaels1289 I just wonder why it seemed to be so quietly and widely believed to be him immediately by so many people though. There are those that surely did not ALL have a true reason to assume his involvement beyond, like you said, merely being part of this family/assumptions based solely therein...but it's those that were close enough to him to be called in by state investigators, like the person in the short audio clip, that were scared and reluctant to even speak their name that definitely had me asking, well wait now why did they (the witness/one being questioned) not just rebuke the allegations right away about Buster, even if they had truly believed or even known him to be involved in Stephen's death? The reporting here that there were multiple or many people that acted this way, apprehensive to even speak his name one way or the other, is feeling idk sketchy at best. MAN! This case by case by case saga of this family is in a word: bonkers. Tragically and like neverending-ly bonkers.
@@1hawtMetz I love to hear from people like you who aren't afraid to look at the facts and put pieces to a story together and come to their own conclusion.
The reasons folks do this imo is that they don't want to think for themselves. They just take anything they are told and accept it even when it doesn't make sense. Similar principle as when interviewing a suspect you never give them the chance to deny. Once you make that first leap into doesn't make sense then it's easier and easier to go down that path and make even bigger stretches.
Imo, Buster is the living person suffering the most. I believe him to be different and that's probably part of what saved him from his family and from turning into them. I fully believe he is a victim.
Relationship? Like Stephen got Buster off a time or two by giving him a bj, and then treated him like a piece of crap
Love your rather biting humour. Gives me many chuckles!
Tante Heike, Voll lustig -:))
This one gave me xtra giggles! 😂 Clever Dr. Grande!
I've listened to a lot of discussions of this story, but this one is the most amusing while still providing relevant information and clear analysis. Thanks!
Its always a grand time when Dr Grande uploads!!! Interesting and informative. Plus you get the bonus of his super sense of humour!!!
Doctor, when I want my toast with no butter, I come straight to you! You are so, so awesome! Keep on keepin on, with love from Tulsa.
I’ve been waiting for your take on all of this since I saw the headline!! Thank you again Dr. Grande. You are a national treasure
It's easy to find strong suspects in a family where so many people around them are dying.
A sunny Saturday ends with a Dr. Grande video. That's what I call an _happy ending_ or _happy weekend_ - thanks a lot, Dr Bella Grande❣♥️💕
I have another definition of a happy ending.
@@ahhh...5765 😶 🙈 🤣🤣
Why whatever do you mean? 😇
@@ahhh...5765 What a naughty boy you are❣😂
I always try to keep my head intact. It has worked for me for 65 years.
Whenever addiction is involved, there is a lot of drama and secrets. Sometimes the drama is there to deflect..
Good point!
'On one occasion, when Timmy was present...' gets me every time! 😀
Overly indulgent rich Daddy is overly protective of his self-important punk son, leading to horrific shotgun deaths of his family and taking a bullet (sort of). And now he's going to face REALLY BIG prison time. I bet he gets 20+ years just for what they've got on him so far. PERFECT!
DC Kidd you predicted it correctly! Guilty with two consecutive life sentences.
“Having a intact head is important to survive.” Wow isn’t that a great truth! For mankind as well! Also having power often leads to abusing power! Both are why we must learn to correctly love ourselves to truth in one another! TT Dr Grande!
What the heck ????.....I'm going to have to watch this about 20 times to wrap my head around it !!
This has all the elements of the type of intrigue characteristic of a novel by Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides, The Great Santini, Lords of Discipline), though I suspect that even that venerable South Carolina writer could have come up with so many fascinating twists and turns in a story.
You are so right on with your comment!!!
Much like, "Who shot JR?"
Agree, Richard. I have been feeling the Prince of Tides motif for months!
Thank you for doing this...I live in SC and really have not heard much about this until the last month or so.
Not too surprising since cover up and power plays abounded!
@@bthomson There are so many different layers to these events and webs of lies. I hope everything can be solved and justice served.
Watch Eric Alan. He has amazing information on this case.
This case has so many twists!
Almost time for an update !!
This is one of the strangest recent cases... Like a web of knots caused by repeated coverups of continous crimes.
I really think this shows how damaging it can be when you try to 'protect' those close to you from the repercussions of their actions - as in most cases, preventing these repercussions (losing their job, going to jail etc) endangers them even more in the future as they are never forced to examine and change their ways, which can eventually lead to significant harm/death of themselves, or others
Especially when this pattern of covering is repeated with each generation.
Great analysis Dr Grande . With some people, power and fame corrupts. I just hope those innocent people who were killed, gets the justice they deserve. Thank you Dr Grande, that was a brilliant topic.
Buster must be in hiding. After all, I personally believe Alex murdered his wife and son, Paul. I also believe Paul murdered Steven, and of course he was completely culpable for the death of Mallory.
But who killed the housekeeper?
I think Paul is suspected
Buster (real name Kevin) is the one suspected of killing Stephen Smith. They were friends, or something. So, all except the mom seem guilty of something or other.
Buster was seen leaving Edisto a day or two ago.
Why do you believe Paul killed Steven? As noted in the video, there is no actual information about why Paul was suspected in the death of Steven, except that he was questioned. But why was he questioned? Was he questioned as part of a group, i.e., anybody who knew Steven? Or some other reason? And Paul seems like a person with no redeeming characteristics, and yet why did someone kill him and his mother? Was it in fact revenge for the death of the girl on the boat, or was there some other reason? And again, given his other unhinged behavior, it seems quite possible that Alex may have murdered his wife and Paul, but again, why? There seems not to be much information about motives in this case.
I heard of this recently, thank you for covering this, Dr. Grande. You make my day! 💜
10:24 - 10:31 Our daily dose of the doc's snark [chef's kiss] ❤
Your cat is beautiful! 💕
@@AimeeAimee444 Yes, it is. But, way to judgemental! 🤣
You did it! ♥️ This whole case has our little county on edge!
I’ve been waiting for this… thank you’
There’s so much more to this story. The Murdaugh Murders Podcast is very enlightening on the history as well as all of the alleged crimes.
Thank you, Dr. Grande! I hope you and your family are having a great weekend.
This family clearly abused their power. And clearly some people did not approve. Thank you for your analysis Dr Grande! Always informative! 💖💖
Eventually, this story of drugs, ego, and greed will make its way into a movie or book. But, first, justice must be done.
Justice is not here on earth.
There's something already on Netflix about the murders and Murdaugh.
12:01 one of my favorite clips ever about this case. Dr. Grande...your look of disbelief with the Timmy character is priceless. I come back to it if I need a boost.
Thank you for analyzing this family. Here in the Lowcountry it's been making front page news for weeks. We Southerners love stories like this one.
Yes...please analyze this crazy case! We need you to sort it out!! Always good to switch over to your channel when so many questions arise in complicated events. 👍🤔
Good morning Dr.Grande.
Thank you for the Saturday blessing.
We all appreciate your work.
Wasn't using his brain anyway...good one Dr Grande. As soon as I heard Alex had been shot I thought his story wasn't true.
Your videos gave me something to look forward to each day I was sick this week, Dr. Grande. I’m ever so grateful for all the work and care you put into the content you present everyday. ❤️ I think this case is, by design, a mysterious one. 🤨 There are so many inside jobs and cover-ups with these families, it’s likely we will never know. I think the son was no good to his core and the family and others paid for the creation of that monster.
Hope you are feeling better.
@@threetreasures7698 Thank you! I think I am finally on the mend.
I agree. Now that Murdaugh has been disbarred, maybe some of these other cases might be looked into again.
I hope you're feeling better. ❤💜💙💚🧡🤎
@@JustDr.S Absolutely! And thank you! 💜
Dear Dr Todd, good analysis. Apart from the fact that use of illegal substances is harmful, as you mentioned, the use of so called legal intoxicats, like alcohol, is also harmful for the person using it and for the community. It has been extensively proved by scientific research and is also prohibited in ALL religions, including in original Christianity. It is causing millions of deaths, misery, crimes, lost healths and careers, broken marriages, welfare, and costing hundreds of billions in health bills and lost productivity.
Excellent analysis.Thank you Dr. Grande.
No chance of bad blood getting into the Grande line! Imho, one of the reasons so many of us respect Dr G and his work is his inherent decency, it’s so comforting and inspiring in this troubled world. I think many, if not most of us have lost all faith in those meant to represent, judge and entertain us; where generosity, compassion and honesty is vital, all we get is greed, selfishness and lies. It’s reassuring that so many love this channel and that it’s growing all the time; as well as testament to the incredible quality & Grande work ethic it maybe also shows that regular folks are, for the main part, good, if they’re drawn to a man who is carved out of integrity, intelligence and compassion.😭🖖
Thanks for covering the case, I really enjoyed this. You did a really good job of succinctly describing all this vast and nuanced information in an incredibly cogent manner. Not a skill everyone possesses, especially in relation to this case.
I was hoping you'd cover this complex case thank you Doctor Grande
Dr. Grande has moved from wearing ties to wearing button-down shirts, loose around the neck- and so I feel like a little kid seeing her teacher in Target for the first time. 😳
I would like him to roll up his sleeves a bit for a relaxed look 😌🇬🇧
MM - Always a bit of a shock but a nice realization that they are just people too!
😂😂
hahahah this is APT. hilarious love it
Oh my gosh all these comments about sweet Doc is cracking me up. Thanks for the chuckles .🫢
Best on this case i have heard so far... Thanks DG!
YES! We were dying for this. Thanks Dr. G! Looking spiffy today !!
Excellent, as usual.
Luv it when you make me laugh.
Low-key witty zingers thrown in are your trademark.
As usual, right on the ball Dr. Grande.👍💙
Based on local comments on fb article posts on this story, I think calling the family "beloved" is a stretch..."feared" may be a better term.
Far from beloved, I'd say!
Easily my new favorite TH-camr always asking and answering the questions I wonder 🙏❤️🔥
Your humor delivered in a deadpan serious voice continues to delight! (about needing your head if you want to live...)
Jeepers Dr. Grande.
Can you please do this one again only go a little slower? Or maybe provide a program. I can't keep up with all the characters in this one. Thanks Doc.🙂
Just watching some of the footage of Murdaugh's trial. He seems to have been a thoroughgoing piece of work. He stole from his firm, his clients and even tried to steal the compensation for the family of his housekeeper who had worked for the Murdaugh family for twenty years.
It would be interesting to hear your take on the trial, Dr Grande.
This family…wow, it’s the craziest story. Too much money, too much influence, too much power-recipe for disaster.
I seriously want this to be turned into a movie, a crazy comedy in the vein of Raising Arizona, with Jim Gaffigan playing Alex Murdaugh.
Only if he does that thing where he narrates his thoughts with that high-pitched voice :D
Yes please
Yes please.
In my cast of characters the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Alex Murdaugh…
Too soon to laugh at these tragic deaths 😢. Your suggestion is in bad taste.
I enjoy your insightful commentaries immensely. Your deadpan humour is hilarious. Thank you.
Interesting case that I've been following. Thanks for visiting it.
Excellent commentary. Love your delivery
Excellent analysis Dr. G
🙌 yay!! Another great analysis by THE Dr G 🤩😁
Thanks for answering my question Dr. Grande!!! ❤️ I kept hearing about this case and all the different details. It seemed...complicated. Thanks for your analysis!!!
OMG Thank you!! I've been waiting for your opinion on this case.
You really are excellent at putting forth information in an organized and intelligible way. Thank you so much for your analysis.
"Certain people will never be convicted of anything because they're dead", just goes to show that if you're determined enough you can weasel your way out of anything.
🤣 Good one!
👏👏👏
I came here to see if you've covered this!! I haven't seen your vids in so long. Good to be back 😎
Been watching you fir awhile now.. I love how many subscribers you've gained. Can't wait to see you reach 1 million.
YES! NO ONE DESERVES IT MORE!!!
Watching again!!
