This family's story has more dramatic twist than a soap opera.
bubba will sell the Family story to Hollywood - WATCH.
That's why they never watched tv
Alex is guilty!!!
Alex is guilty!!!
Worse than a Soap Opera!
Alex was setting this man up so he could blame him for all the murders.
That may be true. The story of this family is stranger than fiction. The Noor Jasmine channel presents a few great videos about this family.
@@DM_21 hey @DM, I like Noor, but no one comes close to the investigative work and incredible production quality of this family than Eric Alan who's also responsible for the 'To catch a murderer' series on Netflix. Here's a link to his YT channel, click playlist and watch his 7 part deep dive that will show you footage and reveal information about each and every person involved in this crime family that is never revealed by other true crime channels. Enjoy ruclips.net/user/EricAlanVideos
Good point, never thought about that.
Yes I definitely agree with you !
Yes he may had this idea
Alex didn't want to commit suicide. He wanted to make it look like someone was out to get him like "someone else" killed his family.
A wise man once told me 2 people you never trust " a lawyer and the weatherman".
Alex guilty as they come!!!!!
Wise man
does the corruption with this family ever stop
This is what happens when a family has generations of power in an area. They think they're immune to any judgement.
Looks like arrogance was the final downfall.
@@JeanneOxley exactly right. they have been wheeling and dealing and committing crimes and corruption. they’ve been in touchable for a century
😂😂this meth head’s story doesn’t make sense
Tee Cox, if this Murdaugh,Alex is found guilty and gets life in prison as he should. You would think it would end but there's the oldest son, and I believe the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, so the saga will go on.
@ Joanna Pierce let’s hope he get convicted , will be keeping my eyes out on what happens after.
A rich person changing their own tire lol. Who would believe that?
Alex has proven repeatedly that he lies to cover facts. I believe Smith, not Alex.
🤣🤣🤣
Right, what a joke 🤣 ah, damn I got a flat,hmm guess I need to buy a new car. 😊🤣
And they were run flat tires. Didn't need changing. Guy can't do anything right.
Murdaugh the boomer foiled by technology at almost every turn. The tyre, the iPhone , Snapchat LMAO
So we got two lawyers saying two people are "innocent". Only thing I know for certain is both those lawyers are lying.
Lawyers/Liars what's the difference 🤣👍
😅
Word up!😅
Yes they are both, liars!
He paid smith to tell the suicide tale. It was never a suicide plot, it was an attempt to get investigators to think the murderer/s of Paul and Maggie were still out there. He got found out and then changed his stotyy
I wish the State would paint this picture, because I think that's exactly what happened
100% 👍
@@lucybowers5520 smith is a CI now in a Federal Rico case IMO for drug trafficking through Miami. This case is strong enough on evidence to convict in this case. The Feds are not going to share their strategy with the state when they’re is a large drug trafficking operation from SC to the tip of Florida . That much the prosecutor’s must know on a confidential need to know basis only .
Yup. Its slowly beginning to make sense now. Because it was baffling before.
@gooner: He was shot though, or at least injured and the medical records prove it. Otherwise the State would have said that and made the whole thing much more clear before they rested.
Murdaugh he wrote
nice 😄✔️
Pronounced Mur-dock.
@@AgreeableOnion Ever heard of wordplay?
Good one
Angela Lansbury would have a field day with this one!!! 😂
Alex asked for his medical insurance card that morning, dead men don’t need insurance but a man planning on going to rehab does, after a fake suicide attempt..
But why?
@@london5945 to build his aliby
After stealing the insurance money owed to the son of the housekeeper, who 'tripped' and died, AM knew that the son was being evicted from his trailer home for lack of payment, and AM couldn't care less. AM had known the housekeeper and her family for 20 years.
Pure evil!
And one of the dead housekeeping son was extremely disabled
AM is monster
That lawyer is an absolute damn joke!!!☝️☝️☝️☝️😂!!! Ever wondered about the D- Minus lawyers that barely made the bar??!!. Well.... there’s DEFINITELY one right there!!!!!!😂😂😂😂☝️☝️☝️ freakin ridiculous!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im not the smartest cookie in the jar and I could even tell that the old man had himself a crappy lawyer.
Right what a joke. There's no way he's a lawyer he tricked him or something giving this interview
Lmaooooo
Complete clown!
He is just exited on camera😊
You can't call him a hitman because he never killed him........hes just a hillbilly
🤣 Like Alex is gonna change his own tire
I believe him. I do not believe anything Murdaugh says
I do too. He hasn't changed his story. Murdaugh did.
I don’t believe either of them.
I don't believe he's an opioid addict either
I dunno. I don’t believe Murdaugh but this guy looked way far away when she asked him what he is guilty of then…seems like he’s lying
@@diddyfaplord he was his drug dealer. alec paid him lots and lots of $$ over the years - by check! So there is a paper trail.
"Devil All The Time " is a good description of Alex Murdaugh.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Lol
Poor man, can you imagine how many people this man has had his friends locked up & killed for no reason? The wife knew too much.
Yes you nailed it Maggie knew way to much....
How could anyone in high profile jobs like Murdaugh hide a 20 year Oxycontin addiction? Utterly NONE of his coworkers said they saw any sign of it. Where did all the millions of dollars he stole go, he didn't eat it all. I don't think he was an addict at all, I think that was supposed to be his alibi.
I agree or he would be thinner
Addicts take the drug to feel and act normal once their body becomes dependent
@@mschlund1 He had plenty of money to go to rehab at any time. He could even have hid where he was going and told his partners he needed a 'break' from everything, personal time. No one had to know. Instead we're to believe he blew the heads off two of his family members to make everyone feel sorry for him and delay the inevitable reckoning about the financial crimes. The whole thing is nuts.
Gambler?
@@dorisfaust8965 Black make
-I killed the maid.... I killed my wife and son.... They are going to catch up too me and lock me up forever.... I'm too chickensh!t to do the crime and the time, I'd rather be dead.... But I wanna leave something for my other son.
There.... 4 CASES SOLVED!
finally thank you for stating the obvious wtf wrong with law enforcement too rich too white to be even considered killed the maid and stole the insurance money in 18 got away with it and here we are
Or Paul killed the maid. He was home alone with her.
How is the dead kid in the road tied into all this?
@@14isoldenough check out my homemade theory.....🤔
Yep the maid knew too much… I’ve thought maybe he had his wife killed and the son was accident he was just wrong place wrong time and they couldn’t leave a witness. But I don’t think anyone has ever even questioned maybe he had them killed?!?
So its All About MONEY, So follow the MONEY.
Joe Exotics brother.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
LOL!!!
😂😃
This interview did not last 48 hours.
Which dimension are you in?
lol
" "...." " means 4:14 😂🤣😂
Sounds like in South Carolina the main form of income is suing instead of working
It is a very powerful rhetorical expression of brainstorming work ❤💰
This guy reminds me of that 1 uncle that you are only allowed to see once every 2 years and only under a parents supervision
The saying, We are only as sick as the secrets we keep, has never been more fitting for this crime family of SC.
How can you believe anything that Alex says?
*So who is Murdaugh going to blame for his longtime housekeeper’s death in his home and the money that he might’ve stolen from her family’s wrongful death settlement?! And who’s he blaming for the money he allegedly embezzled from his law firm?! And what’s happening with the case of the young man found in the middle of the road a few years ago that he’s somehow involved with?!*
*Curtis Smith and opioids are to blame for all that too?!*
Thank you! Paul Murdaugh was a known pathological liar. We all know where Paul got that from.
Maggie was there when she feel not Alex he didn't get there till Maggie was already called 911
Curtis Smith is so innocent that Alex Murdaugh animal is the devil for real
@@lindsaybeard7727 Maggie & Paul.
It most likely was an accident, but Alex Murdaugh has created doubt here because of all of his horrible doings.
@@Janesgirl22 It was not an accident. The wife PUSHED her. They had not been paying her for awhile, and was quitting that day. Plus, she found alex's drug stash, and told Paul about it. Paul confronted Alex, and pressured him to detox. They wanted her out of the picture.
He wanted people and police to think his family was being assassinated. So it would take the heat off him
Love the mullet!
He looks pretty "fat & healthy" for being addicted to opioids.
Yep the classic feathered mullet. Second only to the mighty Kentucky waterfall
This is a completely different story from what Alec said! Wow
Right?
This has a little Florida guy vibe to it
😂😂
Alex was never his friend..so sad
Absolutely the Craziest Case that I have ever heard...
“Hillbilly” is a racist term. 👌🏿
I believe this man , but police need to investigate and we will find out
How? You haven’t seen evidence of the scene?
Your sn idiot if you do...
you just believe people when they say some something without seeing the evidence?
lol
I don't believe him but I wouldn't convict him, if I were a juror.
The police, they tried to say that young man found dead in the middle y the road was a hit and run, yet another cop( rookie,I think) saw that the dead guy clearly had his head bashed in with a club or bat or something and his theory was dismissed ignored and overlooked. ??? Again there's a connection with the Murdaughs even the dead man's mother feels something is terribly wrong with the investigation of her sons death.
There was a headline yesterday about Murdaugh having a $50,000 a week opioid habit-I don't think even Keith Richards spent $50K a week on his habits..
impossible
The amount of opiates that Murdoch has testified to using did not come from this little hillbilly man. He may have been a connection or a go-between but this little guy does not have Alec murdaugh money.. if I'm selling pills to a man like Alec murdaugh I am going to have Alec murdaugh money. I'm not going to deal to someone much richer than me and not try to pillage their funds in any way possible
Weknow Alex is not chase a tire kind of person….he would call AAA
Why would someone getting 50k a week from Alex shoot him?? Cut off his income. Nope.
AM should be in jail he is very dangerous guy, he would hurt anybody
Both are Lying, both know what happened.
Yeah I'm thinking Murdaugh family has alot of skeletons, the corruption doesn't end with Alex
Alex isn't even man enough to know how to change his own tire. We all know he would be calling AAA..
The real question is *who plays Curtis Smith in the movie??*
Randy Quaid?
😂
If someone is addicted to opioids they would be a lot thinner than him!!
Not true
True
Something caused a lot of infected neurons to spit fire...
"I have sympathy for anyone going through addiction..."
DING DING DING DING!!!!!
Something is off with this guy too. Also, after seeing the shell casings in relation to the bodies in the trial. That two types of guns used. It is plausible there was an actual second shooter and not Murdaugh framing it as such.
Edit to add: Murdaugh seems highly calculating to just drop an assisted suicide on this guy. I think Murdaugh just wanted to get injured that day. Not die. To reinforce someone was trying to get at the family. He's one diabolical man. The only reason his embezzlement charade was foiled was because his idiot kid killed that girl and got people looking into his dealings.
I agree
My thoughts exactly
Then why did he confess
@@london5945 because his story had so many holes ….
@@london5945 because he got caught.
My lord. Bust out the Banjos! It's like a scene out of DELIVERANCE.
“Murdaugh she wrote”.
This trial is like reading "ALL the Prresident's Men" with many characters and twists, turns and rabbit holes to untangle.
I definitely think Alex killed his wife and son.
Cousin Eddie looks like “Dog the Bounty Hunter” starter kit
Smith is Boss Hogg's scapegoat just leave him out of it.
Stupid 48 Hours, excellent reporting failing to mention that this guy is actually Murder’s 2nd cousin not some random hillbilly. EXCELLENT work 48 Hours 🙄
Why would anyone believe Alex? He is a perpetual liar.
So if he wasnt a drug dealer or the go between..... why are there bank records showing Edding get paid by Alex weekly with large sums of money?
HILLBILLY HITMAN??? AYOOOO!!!! 😂😂😂
Uh yes, buddy boy, Suicide attempt IS a CRIME! What school did you go to again?
Smith is telling the truth. Please don’t change reality
Hello!👋sorry disturbing your privacy I was going true some comments before getting yours and I decided to say hi if you don’t mind can can we be friends..?
I don’t know who to believe
They call you "The HiLLbiLLy h!tm@n"😂🥴 I'm screaming rn.
I feel like his lawyer is doing a terrible job defending him
What about all those checks made out to this fella ?
Holla at me CBS next year when the other shoe drops
Great questions from the reporter!!
Let's think for a moment. How many people call someone else to help them commit suicide? Does anyone come to mind? I'll wait.
They call someone so they WON'T commit suicide.
Murdauch is a lawyer. He knew suicide was excluded from his life insurance policy after two years.
The story is absurd.
Exactly. However I do believe this guy is his drug dealer
@@911dips5 I have no doubt Eddie is his dealer. Eddie is also the kind of guy Alex can pay to sit in or out of jail and mouth any story Alex tells him to.
@@michelleayres5608 and fast Eddie, won't snitch, if he does, he will lose his customers.
I think this is the same guy who tied up Alex's boss and brought him to the main house for Xmas. why you ask...because the pool couldn't get installed without that Xmas bonus.
Psychopathy in South kakilaky, what’s new?
Say what you will about the dude; he really doesn’t come across like he’s lying here
Murdaugh set Eddie up!
I'm starting to believe that he paid the drug ring to do it. Paid lots of money through Eddie to them in payment. AL set it all up. Getting Paul and Maggie to the dog Kendall was AL job. AL had to keep them there till the hit men showed up. It was so bad , they did him so bad. Tells me and the whole interview. He guilty but set it up.
What I believe too
I'm in this guy's side 100 percent
Sounds painful….
@@mountainman4859 lmao
Gayle pull that dam wig back
Gales face is such a turn away
I believe Smith
Me too
I've never heard of an insurance policy paying in the event of a suicide. He's a lawyer. He would know that.
My nephew committed suicide in Florida 2021. His insurance paid out he had a suicide clause with his insurance. Also, paid because it was 2yrs after he got insurance and made premiums
Why is this man in jail?
Alex is guilty.
Feel like I just listened to a brief of a Netflix show
The wife knew too much and the son hurt his ego due to the crash. Alex wanted them both gone
Slimy lawyers talking for another slimy man.. Figures..
If he wasn’t AM’s drug dealer why was he receiving so much money from Alex….I know Alex mentioned so was paid cash but he also said he was paid by check as well?
Looks like Gayle's hairdresser didn't show up today.
Gayle king isn't long for the news
Great Story ,,, almost impossible to disprove..
Why , how could it get to this.
Right, what has to happen to bring a family to this place in life. The Noor Jasmine channel presents a few great videos about this family.
I figured that you might want to watch them
You just can't make this s*** up!
Such a bs story from both…..if Alex wanted to off himself, he can do it all by himself.
But then his son wouldn’t get the life insurance money
There's no spare in his Mercedes' it has run flats so he wasn't changing a tire
What about all those checks written to Curtis Smith by Alex Murdaugh? These were checks for thousands of dollars.
He ran off after the incident. So did not have transportation. He went there in Murdaugh's car imo. So part of the plot. It went wrong. This guy is involved more than perceived.
Doesn't matter, HE isn't the problem in the world, the entitled and corrupt are.
Making a false police report is a crime last time I heard.
Imagine the crimes here before technology was able to catch them…the ol boy real days lol
I don't know who needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Inv'est some part of it if you want financial freedom.
You can say that again
Cry`pto is the new gold
@Martin Serrano Yeah,Stocks are good but Crypto is much better
Amazing,I just started trading with Mr Frederick Ried,he’s the best at that….with an initial investment of $1500 I made up to $5820 in few weeks of trading with him strategies are mind blowing 🥺
Yeah Trading without a professional like Expert Frederick is like gambling with your money
Aaaawwwww, he’s just an innocent, sweet, little man!
NOT.
Not Alex's Drug Dealer.. Alex wrote many checks for Drugs.. will be interesting to see how this plays out..
Alex’s addiction is a cover-up for his wrongdoings.
@@klmegm197682 Alex's Drug Dealer Cousin was cashing Checks for Alex to Launder money ..
I'm late to the party but... How did anyone think at this point after pulling this stunt AM was going to get off...
Tiger kings brother 🤣
I feel sorry for Buster. I don’t know if he’s a decent man or not but either way he must be hurting.
He killed Stephen smith.
People are innocent until proven guilty.
You might want to check out the Noor Jasmine channel. She has a few great videos about this family.
@@MissJ000 I don't think Buster killed Stephen. I believe Paul did because he was embarrassed having a gay brother, or Alex did for the same reason.
@@roxannemoser who's Paul ?
This little dude is crazy damn Curtis
What do you mean you weren't his drug dealer... does this guy really think he's getting away with this......
