I know John Murdaugh appears like an honest and sincere guy, but I believe his hands are dirty in all this. Mr Clean up guy!!!
SLED and the local police should have had Murdaugh in the police station INTERVIEW ROOM that very night. So they're guilty of treating Murdaugh as the whole country thought the Murdaugh family was; "prominent", law abiding citizens, and "wealthy" "BIG SHOTS"!!!
NO WAY WOULD YOUR EVERYDAY JOE LIKE MYSELF HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BLABBER THEIR STORY, GET A HUG AND KISS AND TUCKED INTO BED LIKE THEY DID WITH MAURDAUGH!!! 😠🤬
All of this is very disturbing.
DEATH PENALTY 😡🤬😡
When sitting in the car, Alec reminds me of a small kid who fakes crying and once in a while looks at mother to see if she believes his crying🤣🤣🤣
💯
That's what Dr. Phil said on his Feb 15&16th shows. His tears were not real. In the car interview, he puts his finger's to his eyes and then rubs fingers together. Dr. Phil said he is feeling if there's any tears. It's very good show's. Dr. Phil had his number it's all a total lie he said. If that was my family members. You could have heard me whaling into the next county. Police would have had to drag me away from them.
😂😂😂😂
WELL SAID
I actually thought that too! So funny someone else thought that.
Thank God Paul got him and his mom justice. Also I'm grateful for Judge Newman for looking past his narcissistic behavior. Such a wonderful and fair Judge.
And his own son died rwo weeks before the trial or so. The judge..
Is a lot of truth. Think defense made a big deal out of things that weren’t a problem. Alex did flee scene immediately and despised if evidence at the solicitors house. They treated him with kid gloves and got him that way. If they did it the other way they would have got nothing. He had a wall of lawyers at scene. Did get the key evidence Alex overlooked that sealed his fate . Think they could have searched the house better. Yet Alex didn’t leave evidence he is a lawyer . He cleaned up at kennels. He knew perfect spot to kill them. Outside at night we’re guns were while Paul is in kill zone. Next to hose and a cabin with bathroom. The fact he left phone off for an hour the. Starts using it non stop is read flag. Funny thing is Alex tried to hard to build alibi and you could see it. In his data and interviews.
I think it’s outrageous, that, while he’s deep breathing (murdaugh)he says to someone coming up “How you doing” in a totally normal voice
I noticed that too. Very telling.
@@alfandeddie me, too.
Me too if my husband and son was just murdered I wouldn’t be able to speak, couldn’t imagine saying how u doin like we just passed each other on the street 🤦♀️
That was one of many things I noticed with that interview. I knew he was guilty immediately.
I would lay my body on my child or have them in my arms and nobody would be able to move me or quiet me. My screams would be heard miles away. They would last for days upon days and nothing but pure exhaustion would enable me to stop screaming and crying in agony.
That “hey, how’s it going” was chilling because he went from acting, to no emotion at all
Yea! "hey, how's it going?" "Fine,... you?" "Not bad,... except the dead wife and son situation" Incredible!
Kind of like Chris Watts when he went and shook the cop's hand and introduced himself all casual like when he first arrived at the house! There's a lot of similar behavior between those two1
Exactly, like he was casually asking someone how there are doing.
Great point. Strange response indeed
@@kowalski3769 so true!
I will never forget Maggie’s only sibling testifying for the prosecution and she said she asked him if he had any idea who might have done this and he replied,”All I know is whoever did this thought about it for a long time.” Mrs. Proctor, (Maggie’s sister) also said that her family was afraid and staying at different houses but alex never acted like he was afraid.
Probably the only truth he's ever told since this whole thing
Oh he was afraid for Buster, he was yelling at the cops to get him and send police to his college first thing! So yes he was afraid fir his oldest son, why if he supposedly killed them! Makes no sense
@@deborahbeltz718 to get people to assume his innocence. It baffles me people still think he's innocent when there is a digital trial
Alex changed clothes thinking it would make any accusers look ridiculous since he's sparkling clean. What he failed to realize was squeaky clean is equally as suspicious as soaking wet when dealing with family members that he claimed to assist.
Not so bright
Correct. But he’s not a serial killer & this is so personal & his first time (I hope)
So you can only plan so much , the rest you have to figure things out as they unfold 🤷🏽♀️
There’s no such thing as a perfect crime. It’s easier for us to pick errors out this situation, after the fact
Exactly!
Stupid is as stupid does. Wonder who did all his law school work.
Go take a bb gun and shoot a ziplock bag of red jello. Shoot the bag. Put on your white Tshirt and touch that bag after the shot. Not only was the Tshirt clean there was no hand print or DNA transfer on the body. Maggie's DNA was found in Alex's vehicle. Not in the passenger seat. Not in any seat. It was on the steering wheel of the vehicle. All over it in fact. How does a person's DNA get on a steering wheel but not on the seat door or body of a car?
Poor Maggie. Her last moments were horrifying.
Yes
And Paul.
😪
20 years of Alex doing drugs and stealing from clients, she 'never had to work, always had anything she wanted' according to Alex. Two houses, a Mercedes, vacations all the time. She didn't notice the drugs sooner? Didn't insist on rehab which his insurance would've paid for? There's a saying 'people who marry for money earn it'. Not saying she deserved to be murdered after seeing her son's brains blown out, but dayum. Clueless. For decades, clueless. And it's been reported that Moselle was a party house for all Paul's underage friends. Free booze, drugs, guns and ammo. How could they have not known? Not exactly stellar parenting skills. Paul with Buster's ID, the keys to the boat, nicknamed 'Timmy' for how horrible he acted under the influence. Maybe Alex had a 'Timmy' side too. That would explain a lot. Jekyll-Hyde. An addict who needs his fix will do ANYTHING for it. ANYTHING. Maybe Paul found Alex's drugs and took them down to the kennels with him, refused to give them back.
He can see the son's brain but took his pulse to see if he's breathing. Right.!
I thought the same thing!! He probably lied about that too
Yes Betty he sure did.
To me the first thing that I noticed and many people missed is that Alex was in the middle of the crime scene when it was dark. Considering the location is remote. Anybody who thought that there were killers out there wouldn't have felt safe in there and waited 15 minutes Police response. There he was standing in the middle of a horrific crime scene without any fear of anybody out there who may want to kill him. As we heard in the next day he wasn't also afraid for his surviving son.
His wife and son murdered. Then the head of his own family dies. Plenty of different family houses owned by his blood relatives who are also grieving. Alex goes and stays with his inlaws. Nosy bugger.
@@alonawhalen
Isn't he hilarious???
Reminds me of the Jeffrey MacDonald case. He was a Green Beret at home with his family. "Gang" broke in and brutally killed the wife and young children, but left the GREEN BERET with just a wound. Like we were supposed to believe that they would go all out on the wife and kids, but the guy that is a trained threat just got a scratch.
Here in the middle of nowhere his adult son and wife were gunned down and he wasn't afraid whatsoever? He is essentially a DA for years, the 4th in the family line, that sent people to prison and doesn't assume the "killer(s)" are out for him? It didn't add up.
I thought the same.
He lied so much.
Yes the Mob Squad podcast pointed out that when the first deputy arrived Alex was standing in the exact location the shooter shot Maggie from. I believe he saw his shoe prints in that area and walked all over the shoe prints so he would be able to explain why his shoe prints were there.
He wore white for a reason. To create a statement that "look at me, I am clean". Apparently, he is not as smart as he believes. 🤣
@@AJ.943 Yes I believe he said he had showered earlier and that’s why he didn’t want to go down to the kennels with Paul and Maggie because he didn’t want to sweat since he had already showered.
Yes, he also said he checked for pulse, turn them and touched Maggi. Yet he was till so crisp and clean. Not believable. A bit too scripted or staged.
This was an awesome interview. Thank you for answering so many of our questions. Great work to all the investigators and first responders. You put a terrible man in prison for life.
However, at 9:30 on, everything was unclear and strangely worded.
I agree. These responders were doing their jobs. Very professional.
Thanks to First Responders for … dealing with the messy aftermath !
When said “how ya doing” that was the end for me.
No blood on his shoes, NO way he walked over to them!
No hand print on Paul's body either.
I have said all along he was too clean! As an OR nurse you can’t get near a bloody scene like that without getting blood on you. He never touched them! He already knew they were dead.
Right, and he made sure they were both dead!!
He MADE SURE they were dead
He never hugs his dead son...😪😪 at least. He is a Monster.
Yes clean no hands.
Finally justice!
Wow! If you had any doubt, this female officer nailed it on the clothing and shoes being so clean.
it is kind of hard to miss this even just watching without knowing anything for the first time. it should have been suspicious to his law buddies even.. in particular after he stole all that money. plus it's always husband and the guy who finds them, statistically.. and his acting was so terrible
I would really Enjoy seeing a much Longer Interview with these Amazing 1st Responders &. SLED Members.‼️
I would have been on the ground dying, devastated. No way could I have given a statement.
I would have been screaming louder than the gunshots.
Exactly!!!
Thank you for your service and thank you for a well done job! Justice wins.
The constant clearing of his throat seems to be him trying to buy more time to think what to say next. Not a single tear. He’s exactly where he belongs.
You all did AMAZING! Together all of you fought for Maggie and Paul and you got their killer. He is now serving 2 life sentences 👏
For someone to have the right to remain silent...Alex sure chose not to exercise this right. He would not stop talking. That alone implicated him, running his mouth.
Fascinating interview. Alex's body language is off the charts. When you get to see it play out, in different interviews, and the Trial. Even in the Jail House phonecalls to Buster. He still lies and embellished his story. How could any family member trust a word he says
Or will they see and hear what they want . Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪
🍀
Well Randy has said he thinks Alex as involved somehow and that no one will probably ever know the truth.
maggie's sister made a reference in her trial testimony that alluded to her trust in alex changing.
So basically Everyone knew he was a liar from the start and were just waiting patiently for the evidence to prove it.
Thank God the jury saw through this pathological, evil bastard.
He has a long time to consider his actions - with Maggie and Paul visiting him every day and night.
He's not the kind of guy that buys into that. He looked his wife and son in the eyes and pulled the triggers multiple times. He shot Maggie in the head execution style and watched his son's brains literally splatter and still had the mind to complete his alibi tasks. Their ghosts visiting him won't keep him up at night. Their ghosts will leave his cell thinking it was their fault.
@@jetsamperes5762 I agree with you. To kill both so mercilessly, he would have to have a conscience to have Maggie & Paul visit him.
It is unfathomable that after seeing his son's brain splattered all over & a hole in the back of his wife's head that he asked the 1st responders "are you sure they are dead?"🤮🤮🤮
Alex made sure the scene was tainted by getting friends and family to come distroy any evidence. And he made sure to hang his badge on his clothes during the car questioning.
What? Where did you see that Alex was sporting a badge when being questioned in the car?
Kind of sounds like the Ramseys, calling friends, neighbors to help taint the scene without them knowing what he was doing.
As I recall, that was during the scene at the boat accident!
I just noticed that tag pinned to his left pant belt loop!! I was wondering if they made him get an identification badge to enter the car. Wow!! For those of u who missed it. Watch the interview again. Alex has what looks like a tag given to someone to identify them in a secure building. It has a imprint of a Police badge.
@@alonawhalen Nah, that is the SLED agent’s business card that is laying in Alex Murdaugh’s lap. [Actually, it is the Sheriff’s Officer’s (the female in the back seat) business card. He drops it, later during the interview, and she offers him a replacement when he cannot easily locate it again.]
I'm so glad they let him just ramble on
Strategy by prosecutor and SLED
They did a GREAT job. And handled it PERFECTLY. Well done.
Great interview revealing a lot of important points. The biggest one to me was that "he was so clean" after all that drama he was saying about rolling them over, putting a phone back in the pocket, checking the breathing, etc..... He wanted to "look" clean figuring it made him look innocent. He basically shot himself in the foot at every turn in this escapade. Grateful the jury was able to see through the shenanigans !
Wow…very interesting to hear their impressions….they had their finger on the pulse right from the get go.
Yeah... they did, but it was very obvious too.
Cleary, but she should have kept her mouth shut on that question. She doesn't know what the detectives were thinking.
Thanks for the insight! Something felt off whenever he spoke & that explains it. Having recently lost my husband unexpectedly, I was unable to reconcile the scene & his reactions! I struggled w/ real sobs & could barely speak . Tears didn't start/stop as needed 😭😭😭
so sorry for your loss ❤
Master of Wit 😊 I still have tears many days💔💔
Exactly I would have been a mess!
I'm so sorry you lost your husband! Sending hugs and prayers!
You reacted that way because you loved your husband, and were truly shocked. Alec reacted the way he did because he murdered them. I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you comfort and peace. ❤❤
You can honestly tell that Alex has never had any type of discipline in his life. He honestly thought that LE was buying everything he was saying as that is what he is use to. The fake crying, his baby voice change while explaining the scene, the sad faces & no eye contact was giving him away.
I think he thought local LE was going to handle the whole case, which he would have had considerable influence, but the State (SLED) was called in, so Alex was eventually going to be busted...yay!
really glad that first responders have some awareness of body language cues...
He “figured it out”. Then he got figured out. ✅
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 to these 2 responders for sharing this info. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
To me the biggest indication that some staging of the crime scene happened is the water hose. It is seen uncoiled in Paul's dog tail video. Immediately after that recording Paul's phone was at the feed room where it remained. With the timeline having the murders four minutes later, with Paul never leaving the feed room and Alex & Maggie dealing with the dog & guinea hen, nobody had time before the murders to coil the hose. One possibility is Alex actually used the hose before the murders in preparation for the speedy cleanup his planned alibi would require. He did tell his sister-in-law after the murders that whoever the killers were they had it planned ahead of time. I'd suggest immediately after the murders he removed his clothes & shoes, bagging them & the guns for disposal. Bags for that purpose likely would have been already been there. He then could have hosed down and put on the poncho raincoat he had earlier put there. Gunshot residue he failed to wash off could have been transferred to the inside as he pulled it over his head. Why wear the poncho? Because he'd know he needed to avoid transferring anymore evidence to himself or to the crime scene. Before leaving for the main house in his golf cart he picks up Maggie's phone with it recording 59 steps. Those steps could be steps of Alex carrying it to the cart and then from the cart to his Suburban. I think he left the hose on the ground when he left the crime scene. Upon his later return he likely took several seconds to assess the scene from his vehicle to determine if it was safe to call 911. He likely saw the hose but knew he'd have time before police arrived to coil it up. Why coil it up? I think he had in his minds eye a vision of how the scene should look and the hose (suggesting a clean-up had occurred) wasn't how he wanted it to look. He's the only person who would have bothered to coil it up. No cartel hit-men or 5'-2" child assassins would have bothered. That it was coiled is clearly indicative of his staging the scene.
I agree about the hose. I’m curious- was there a combing of the rest of the property? Would they be able to tell where Alex had walked and stood to bag things up? If he Sat something in the ground would there be evidence of that? If he had used the hose to wash anything wouldn’t it still be mostly there just spread out? Was there anyone in the trial who testified about the other areas of the property?
Also were his prints on Maggie’s phone? Was anyone else’s prints anywhere? There are just still many questions I have!
Absolutely!
@@srock7967 SLED needed to have let loose a pack of cadaver dogs, two scented with P andM's blood. On all the M's properties. Might still work. Bet they's find other bodies from the drug trafficking days when stuff was flying in and out.
The water hose is being sprayed. It can be heard in Paul's video. Alex calls Bubba to get the dead chicken. Chicken is found inside the dogs kennel on top of the dogs house. Police body cam shows the large wired coop with the door open. Alex states that when Bubba gets out of his pen he B Lines to the chicken coop behind the storage shed. He admits to taking the chicken from Bubba. Chicken is in the kennel. That puts Alex with the hose running very clearly as heard on the snap chat evidence. The storage shed Paul was shot at is the building before the big coop. Then there is a lower to the ground either pump or drain with a cover. That row ends with a rather large all wired structure. That's the coop.
He was also very concerned about stating he only moved the bodies as little as possible and about looking at Paul’s phone. He is already thinking about his defense.
He’s an attorney so not unusual. The clean clothes and his mouth gave him away anyway. Brilliant.
I just feel
Like if Alec was so paranoid about the paul boat death
Why not install security cams?
Bc Moselle was always a crime scene & criminals don’t record their dealings
They knew no one would dare come out there based on how far and their guns. This was an inside job for sure.
Remember Alex blamed Gloria Satterfield's fall on the dogs. Bubba got the last laugh with the dogs. Paul's video with dogs in the sound, nailed Alec's timeline. 🐶
Great job first responders! It takes special people to go into that line of work. Y’all did a great job and I can’t imagine the trauma of just processing a crime scene such as this. People can judge the forensics but they got a conviction so 🧐
I wish I had heard these things sooner. This is valuable information. I hope LE and the prosecutors had this information.
From 3:20 - 3:45, never have I seen guilt look so obvious…it’s actually hilarious. His lizard brain kicked in and he couldn’t fake human emotion. It’s like he is thinking about how he should be acting…strange and just oh so guilty.
My heart goes out to his family, they felt safe with him, guard down and he betrayed them in the most horrific way.
Thank you. It was so obvious to me as well. I mean he’s not a good actor at all. What a monster
Definitely was trying to steer the detective where he wanted him to go… When the detective said he didn’t know what to think the look on Murdochs face said it all is nodding his head and you can almost hear him thinking I’ve got to convince them I got to convince them
Narcissist
Alex was never going to kill himself.
When Alex called cousin Eddie perhaps asking to meet for drugs or he told Eddie that he was depressed, thinking about killing himself.
But Alex was going to kill cousin Eddie and make it look like cousin Eddie had not only killed Maggie and Paul but then tried to kill Alex.
Then Alex would shoot Eddie, killing him so he couldn't talk.
But Alex's plan didn't go as planned.
When Alex acted like he was going to shoot himself, they wrestled with the gun, Alex was grazed instead of Eddie left dead.
Eddie left probably not realizing what almost happened.
Alex had to think of a new excuse to explain a GSW to his head to doctors and police.
That actually makes sense
Yes. His story ever made one bit of sense.
There's no way he wouldn't have had something on his hands and/or shoes
Check Randolph's coffin for those guns.
Thank you for posting this! Previously, their interview portion was relatively cut short on your video, so I’m glad you guys showed more.
I am so glad this interview was done. Maybe it will answer some of the questions flying around in groups.
You two did a fine job. I was very impressed with your observations and overall handling of the crimes.
In my opinion, SLED Agent David Owen, definitely suspected Alec within a few minutes.
Excellent job guys. Justice has been done for Maggie and Paul. I have to say when I heard how they recovered Paul’s Snapchat video with the voice of Alex on it and how they opened Paul’s phone to retrieve it gave me goose bumps.
No there still 2 killers out there. You must be slow
@@wardog2016 so said the simpleminded wannabe troll who is bored with his own sad life and now seeks attention from strangers on the internet. Weirdo
Since Alex claimed to have gone and touched both Maggie and Paul there should've been blood on his hands and shoes at least. Since he had NO blood anywhere on his clothes when the police got there, it confirms he lied and changed the clothes he wore when he killed them. Those clean clothes are very telling and suspicious.
He’s standing above his slaughtered wife and son in the middle of explaining the murders when he turns on a dime and says “how you doing” to another officer. Weird.
Covert narcissist move right there.
I’m so proud of our South Carolina Law Enforcement!! They did a Fabulous Job gathering evidence and figuring out that Alex was the suspect! The “Dream Team” attorneys did a Fantastic Job laying out the evidence for the jury, and the jurors did an Excellent job listening to witnesses and evaluating the evidence to come to the rightful guilty conclusion!! Just Super Proud of our state and the people here!!
Okay. The South's going to do it again right?
Thank you for sharing these additional details. It is extremely sad and heartbreaking to hear. Nonetheless, I believe this is important information the public should be aware of. Thank you both for your service!!! Consummate professionals!!! 🙏😇
Respect for these two professionals
This interview is so enlightening. Answers many questions. They gave explanations to questions asked during and since the trial. Great interview.
I absolutely agree when certain people say how can someone do all of this in 10-15 mins? The Idaho killer killed 4 people with a tiny knife in less than 6 mins and disappeared..Its amazing what “prior” planning and preparation can achieve in 15 mins 🤔
The knife that was used in the Idaho killings was not a small knife. Secondly, his wife's texts messages on the evening of the killings that she did not want to go and meet Alex. According to several sources, Maggie and Alex had hit a rough patch in their marriage, and she was staying at the family's beach house on Edisto Island, approximately an hour away from the family's estate.
The law enforcement source said that that Maggie initially declined to meet Alex at the family home, suggesting instead that they meet at the hospital. Ultimately, she consented to meet at the property, planning to follow Alex to the hospital in her own vehicle. On her way to the house, Maggie allegedly messaged a friend, saying that something about her husband's behavior felt "fishy," the law enforcement source says. "He's up to something," Maggie allegedly wrote to her friend.
This took way more time than 15 minutes as was said in the video. Someone helped him and it will eventually come out.
I think it was the other son or the brother. Everything will come out in due time.
Milli G, you think a Ka-Bar is a tiny knife?
Lol
Just the blade on one of those is 7 inches long.
It's a fixed blade designed and used by the military specifically for killing someone quickly & efficiently.
@@Ela-cw7fi Maggie texted Blanca, her housekeeper that she really didn’t want to go to Moselle because she felt like Alec was up to something but she wanted to meet him at the hospital instead.
She said the same thing to her sister, that Alec wanted her to come to Moselle so they can go visit his dad in hospital and she didn’t want to. Her sister said she encouraged her to go to Moselle and support Alec. You saw how she broke down in tears on the stand, that was the last conversation she had with her only sister.
@@mamarealtalk5850 not four people in six minutes though! 7 inch blade is not that big, granted it’s not a small knife like the OP said but…
The beady eyes are just evil.
I hate how when he’s in the car speaking with the detective, he’s almost talking baby talk. “..and than I flipped Maggie over…actually I went to Paul first”
Ugh!
The worst was his lip smacking on the stand.
His throat clearing during interviews was annoying
@@alfandeddie right!? wtf was that!?
And the spitting. Yuck 🤢
… ya know..ya know..ya know.. ya know…ya know…ya know… 🥸ye know…
Yeah his eyes were so scary. Totally weird kind of intense black and were stuck or weren’t moving normally. I noticed his scary eyes right away. Evil
He was too clean. Hmm 🤔 showered
3 great interviews that spoke millions! Sled , Country Sheriff, all did a great job 🎉🎉
After watching this video, hearing from these two first on the scene, I have 0 doubt they knew Alec did it right away. Tunnel vision? No. Alec was too obvious with his words and demeanor.
He probably did check their pulses, right after killing them. And before showering, and changing his clothes. But his brain did not reconcile the two acts while being questioned.
LE seemed more shocked at the crime scene and situation than Alex. He was trying to see if the were suspicious of him in the car interviews. So sickening I’m glad they saw through the lies and yes had help manipulating the crime scene.
Yes they were probably so rattled that they couldn't think straight.
It’s hard to believe that his family still believes he’s innocent.
I've always found it quite hilarious to hear some people talk about the lack of blood on his clothes, that he would be full of blood if he were the killer, and that he didn't have time to change out of his bloody clothes, hide them and change into clean clothes.
Of course he had the time and opportunity to change out of his bloody clothes and into clean ones. Look at the size of that property. They (for some strange reason) had no security cameras on that property. It would take him less than a minute to pull off his bloody clothing and pull on clean shorts and t-shirt. There is nobody around to see him... he would have just changed right out there by the kennels and could have put the clothes out in the woods. They didn't search the entire property. He also could have put the bloody clothes in a plastic bag and took them with him when he drove out to his mother's house and discarded them along the way. Without security cameras, he could have done ANYTHING out on that property without anyone but him knowing what he did. He will never say what really happened. I believe he will go to his grave without ever confessing to what he did.
Okay I get what your saying, but how about having time to wash his body and hair? I didn't see a mirror for him to check if he was sparkly clean and dry.
Absolutely. He could discard anything anywhere on 1700 acres of land w/ swamps. I think he planned this for months. They never tested his car or the golf carts for DNA did they?
@@sharondownie6008 He had time. It was the summer too. I think it would've been normally for his hair to be wet, considering it was summer. It was probably a hot & muggy SC night.
@@sharondownie6008 They think he used the yellow hose to wash himself off. In the video, he wipes his face with his shirt, in the court photos of the shirt after testing...that area was all blue
@@JessSoBeautifulTV I thought the same thing at first, but there was no blood found in the area of the hose.
You guys did a great job, it’s easy to play Monday morning quarterback for the people out there in Internet land but with a crime scene like that everybody is focused on their particular job. I really didn’t know much about this when I first started watching three weeks into the trial or whatever but during the trial when I saw that initial first contact at the Colosseum and Alex starts to speak I personally knew within five minutes that it was him. I could only go on my gut instinct and how I would probably react and he was so different trying to immediately point in the direction of the reason this happened was the boat accident. Everybody came up on he mentioned the boat accident like the 911 operator also. He’s a lawyer but he’s no actor.
I would have taken that stance, but what triggered me were the moments when the SC old boys behaviour went against smarter detective work. There seemed to be a couple of instances. I mean you can explain to him, obviously, the house is a crime scene without making it seem he is a direct suspect. Of course, the house needs to be examined.. Maybe thats the only way to catch the killers, i.e. they could taken one of the guns from there and left traces. Vigilantes, too! It just seemed very subservient and pro-Murdaugh, while he was acting terribly anyway, so it made no sense to me. You can tell its a bit much about vitamin B in that community. It shouldnt be when you come upon a murder scene. Its what happened with boating thing, though that was manslaghter, so I find it extra aggravating. So yeah, I dont think all the responders did a great job.
Thank you both. After 911 and 1st interview I knew. The clean clothes ,clean hands etc
I just happened on something else: from the first responders videos, I noticed Alec has glasses in his t-shirt pocket...if he did all he said, how did he not drop the glasses somewhere?
Exactly!!
Alex was doing the shifty eye's, trying to get a feel if you guy's was buying his bs or not.
A very enlightening video!!! Thank you
There was a pool of blood around Paul at 10pm . If the phone had popped out it would have landed in a pool of blood surrounding Paul .
I think if there was no Snapchat video that Paul took, Alec could’ve gotten away with this. However, for an attorney he is definitely a terrible liar and a bad criminal. I can’t believe he got away with deceiving people and stealing money his entire life, but then not committing a perfect crime. He screwed up in every facet of his life. Can’t believe he didn’t get exposed earlier. And how can you get away with doing so much oxy every day and not get noticed?
There’s absolutely no way Alex was taking 50K worth of oxy a week. That’s over 400 pills a day. Plus almost every photo we see of Alex Shows him drinking hard liquor. Alex would have been dead long ago. There’s more to this story we have not yet gotten
There were privileges his family expected and received all their lives. He expected the same with this. There are always murders and crimes that happen that may be solved but never punished because of who did it. Look at Stephen Smith - the coroner immediately said 'man vs car, car won' when there was no evidence to support that. Look at Ahmaud Arbery. His killers were never going to face justice without his mom and that video. It was getting swept under the rug like so many have and do.
He is what you call a “ functioning addict.” It’s not like alcohol, where you drink and people smell it… or you are falling down drunk and getting DUIs.
He said on the stand that taking OXY made him feel like he could do anything. He just felt good. He was high all day every day, going to court and winning cases with millions in the out come.
There are so many people that do so many things high as a kite….and you would never know it.
Some people get a lot of grace for their objectively mediocre performance, purely because of who they are.
@@imoveritalready9388 so true
Especially opiates and stimulants
That is a good point , 1st time I am hearing it , he is crystal clear clean and he says he touched both bodies, Says He rolled each one over and he must have Stepped in blood because there was so much of it.
These two were so maligned by that reprehensible excuse of a man (Poots) that many of us actually believed there might have been sloppy work done. Listening to these two, I cannot imagine what they went thru processing the scene, dealing with that aftermath, and then, the betrayals from educated monsters, who also betrayed the public with their lies. A good defense is one thing, but lying and ripping apart reputations is not "defense" it's criminal.
I have the feeling dick harpootlian is going to have his day. Every dog has his day. And that guy is a crook allegedly
Australia here. Excellent video. Makes more sense of the crime and how law enforcement handles these situations.
This is a lesson to not underestimate the training of small town law enforcement.
So glad first responders are not letting AM get away with blaming everyone else for doing wrong when he made sure with his good ol boy routine, make everything and everyone, but himself, look wrong at that crime scene..
No way AM tried to check his son or his wife that he mowed down..
I often wonder if Maggie heard the first shot and ran to see what was going on and possibly saw the second shot happen with her own eyes before being chased by Alex. That would’ve been horrible for her to see. It would’ve been horrible for her to see Paul like that AT ALL but to actually see him being shot and knowing the damage that was caused. Idk. The whole thing is just so bad.
Remember, in court, they said Maggie had hair in her hand? And of course no one ever continues up on that. But I think she had ran over to her son and maybe was holding onto his head/graphic stuff and that’s how she got her in her hand. she saw Alec coming and she jumped up and ran.
@@BuySellColoradoSprings The female responder stated it was Maggies own hair from her exit wound to the head
@@BuySellColoradoSprings The hair was mentioned in this video and determined to be Maggies
@@BuySellColoradoSprings ? The detective clearly stated it was Maggie’s own hair.
And then he shoots her, either she turned to run or the shot spun her around that's when he shot her again.
There still more to the story that Alex knows.
What do you have in mind?
Y'all did a good job with what you had to work with. Dick and Jim had to attack someone and in this case it was LE.
These folks are heroes.
Hats off to these two first responders! Their excellent observations are amazing!
They said that they think Murdaugh had help cleaning the crime scene?!?....and this reporter never thought to ask them to elaborate?!? What the hell Court TV?!?
Thank-you for this. The information is important for us so we can gain a clearer picture.
Learning educational video for sure
Well done, awesome work.
Thank you so much for your excellent job. You were in a very difficult situation and you mastered it brilliantly. A.M. thought in his arrogance he could fool the rest of the world for ever & ever like he did with all those folks he 'loved the most' & eventually killed, stole from & abused. The murdaugh-clan was relying on their 'name' (once again like with the boat accident) & this time, justice caught up with them. God bless you folks for your work. God bless Mr. Waters (brilliant Prosecutor) the Jury & Judge Newman.
This answered so many of my questions, thank you 🙏🏼😇
John Marvin isn’t being honest. He knows more and what’s with his crazy story about the white trucks and leaving one on the side of the road.
I missed the part about the white truck
Paul had been using JM truck since his was in the shop and JM had to use the old farm truck. It broke down on the way to Moselle and his sheriff friend had to pick him up and the truck was left on side of road.
John Marvin appears to be the family fixer.
@@kingriger77 so he says… this family is good at muddying things up and making a lot of what they call “honest mistakes.” Where are the guns and clothes and why the sudden boat trip to the Bahamas if that’s where he went.
@@vixtex yeah he puts himself right in the middle of the messes doesn’t he? 🤔
When JFK was assassinated Jackie freaked out and started scooping up his brains! we are not mentally equipped to handle something like that, poor Maggie hopefully did not realize what she was seeing and blacked out or something. I know it sounds crazy but as a mother I can't imagine seeing one of my kids like that.
Maybe she had Paul's hair in her hand?
GUILTY ALEX GUILTY!!
His voice is just so guilty sounding so unbelievable
The sad thing about this is that Paul and Maggie didn't need to die. Alex was going to jail either way because of stealing millions of dollars. No amount of sympathy would get him out of that so he should have left his family alone and spared their life..
The term anniholator us despite on of someone who I suspect affixed blame for his problems to other individuals. Like traitors before a firing squad in a dictatorship- no logic appllied to a mounting problem on a family it becomes a family annihilation.
I think Alex was filled with rage, I mean serious RAGE at his son Paul for causing the boat accident that was going to expose his years of stealing money from his clients and I think that’s why Alec killed Paul.
I believe Maggie was killed because (1) she would learn the truth about her husband and Alec didn’t want her to know the truth at any cost…OR (2) Maggie was a liability, and Alec blamed her for his stealing to keep up a certain lifestyle so he felt anger towards her for “putting him in that situation” (my words not his).
It could even be more reasons we don’t know about that he killed Maggie & Paul. Just my thoughts.
Yes
@@oldchevytrucklovers once you come up with any reason to kill Paul, you have to kill Maggie. Obviously. She would have known he did it. i mean the staff at the house and kennel know he did it, of course the mum would have known. she would have ended him one way or another. maggie had serious flaws, I don't respect her from what I have heard, but she was a bear mother, I believe that. its probably why she couldnt leave AM. he was the one with the ability to save her kid Paul from decades of prison
Very good interview... very clear and understand... thanks...
I think that’s one of the worst parts, is that Maggie came running, see’s her Son’s head blown off, brain on ground, then shot by her Husband sec. later.
I really appreciate the lessons on things.
Thats the first huge clue! No blood on shoes, clothes, or skin of dad who claimed he touched them.
Great interview. Really good points
Great interview
