If only dogs could talk 🙏🏻
What is it about this guy that I just don’t trust anything he says or does
They did. On the video. That nailed him.
@@margo3367 I loved that so much. Definitely was supposed to happen that way, and if you think about it it’s such a random video, one that most of us might even delete
But it helped speak for them so much
@@elizabethnadler4876he’s a rich privileged weasel
Need a dog whisperer 😂
having the supposed worst day of his life and asking strangers how you doing is extremely awkward
Yeah unboubtedly. It's so full of evil energy. Look at him sitting there in the court room. I understand due process but without all the evidence if I seen him there without context I'd assume he done whatever it was.
Exactly 🫣😶🌫️🤯🤔🤔🤔
Yeah I noticed that,and I thought that is so weird! Did he just stop,break character,and say "hi,how ya doin?" to someone walking by? Like WTH?! 😳 That would be the last thing on my mind to do! ABSOLUTELY the total last thing id be doing is greeting people and asking how THEY were doing when my spouse and child were feet away with their brains blown out....um no,that is just such a HUGE RED FLAG to me!! 🤨🧐
Just noticed that unreal and the jerkoff whining noise if I was the cop I would have tased his neck
Nervous response because he did it
Anyone else notice how he switches from hysterical to calm multiple times
He does it so many times .. here and in the interviews.. turns his emotions on and off like a light switch
Exactly like a cold-blooded murderer
The worst acting ever!!!
It's noted by colleagues that while in his role as attorney, he is able to switch the "emotions" on and off easily so... Is this just more theatrics?
When my brother was murdered I was there before any LE or ambulance. He was shot in the head with a double barrel shotgun at point blank range. IT WAS HORRIFIC! I was uncontrollable. I never once said "I'm sorry " for crying and for screaming. They had to end up putting me in the ambulance because I was about to faint. I could barely speak or breathe. True, people react differently but his behavior is odd.
My condolences Tina ❤️
Oh, Tina. I wish I could hug you. Well I am weeping for your terrible loss. Bless your heart.
Thank you.
OMG I'm so, so sorry! 💔
One of my close friends found her brother in his room after he shot himself in the head with a shotgun, and he was only like 15 or 16!!
It severely traumatized her, to say the very least.
I am so sorry for your loss and the horrific scene and trauma you've had to suffer and I'm sure continue to suffer through every day.
God bless you and don't ever be afraid to seek support every time you need it because you're worth it and deserve it!
So sad I'm sorry
He touched the bodies but no blood on him, he changed and puts on a great act. I believe he did it hands down!
He went to his parents’ house which was close by. I think he changed clothes and threw his bloody clothes away. The sitter at his mom’s house testified and that basically he had threatened her. She said on the stand in her testimony that Alex told her “don’t forget I was her 40 minutes “ but she testified that he was only there 20 minutes. She was so scared on the stand. If you haven’t seen her testimony you need to watch it. Her name is Muchell Smith.
FIND HIS CLOTHES FROM THE MURDER AND CASE CLOSED... HOW IN THE WORLD YOU CHECK FOR A PULSE ON TWO GUNS SHOT VICTIMS AND NOT A DROP OF BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS, CLOTHES SHOES!!!!! NO WHERE
Where was the oldest son at the time of the murders? Please 🙏 don't let the oldest son be involved. This is getting scary and WIERD
THE RIFLE GAVE HIM PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY FROM GPR EVIDENCE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE MOTIVE.
@@BellTechnical And it just so happens they got their sons both the same rifle, and he stated one was missing for a while now and he never reported that to police. He's been planning this for a while now
@4:16
AM: “It’s official that they’re dead?”
Officer: “Yes”
The relief that pours over him when he heard those words…
Guilty.
Right!!
And then says I’m sorry….I’m very sorry!
Yup he's checking so much to see if theyll have dying words on him
You nailed it!
The way he just goes, "Mmm..." after they confirm that his wife and son are dead. It's creepy that he immediately starts making plans and asking questions about them covering their bodies up etc.
Those poor dogs witnessed EVERYTHING and then had to stay next to the dead bodies. Dogs are extremely attached to their owners so for those dogs to helplessly witness them die is horrific!
Bubba, Grady, & Cash being the closest kennels to Paul and being FAMILY dogs, just breaks my heart!! Some people just think of dogs as a tool for hunting. NOT family!! Alex even admitted that NOBODY was there!! Of course! The dogs were not alerting to someone else on the property(Proof in kennel vid)! My heart breaks for all the animals there and the families who are victims of Alex's nightmare!!
My son has a beautiful dog from a rescue shelter. She's the sweetest dog, and so attached to him. She loves everyone in the family, but she's most attached to him. When he's at work, she keeps looking out the window, and if my husband comes home, she waits impatiently at the top of the stairs to see if it's my son, then walks away disappointed when it's not him. When my son comes home, she goes nuts with happiness. I cannot imagine what she'd do if something happened to him and she was there and couldn't get to him.
Oh honestly as sad as this is, that’s all I could think about tbh, those poor dogs who had to go through this, I don’t care what anyone says but dogs do feel and they feel just as hard as humans😔
I feel sorry for the dogs and not anybody in this vomit inducing family. May they all rot.
Yes this is so very heart breaking. Those poor fur babies to witness their momma and brother be killed right n front of them at close range really close range. Wow this father is a evil monster. He never deserved the wife nor the son or those poor helpless dogs ..man there's some fkd up people in this world. U just never know what kind of person someone is this 💩 here shows us all that evil exists very closely
This man is a piece of work!!!! He called everybody immediately before even calling Maggie’s parents!!!
Exactly. He was calling everybody and their brothers and sisters and friends. I think he was doing that too, to avoid having to talk with the police officer.
Or his son
He never did call her parents. Not sure who called her sister Marion. The sister then called her parents and drove to their town. The parents took it very hard of course.
He only called the people he knew could be there to damage evidence.
Heartbreaking after hearing the testimony of the coroner. His son was looking at him when he shot him. Twice. So he knew his dad was taking his life. Maggie knew something was off when she sent the text saying he was acting suspicious. I’m certain when she saw him with the gun, she knew why. As he shot her at least 4 times.
Giving a story about the boating incident within a minute with police is very telling. His entire aura is off.
She sent a text that AM waa acting suspicious? I must have missed that?
He actually asked..."Is it official"??.... WTF kind of question is that!!!!
In other words...."Can I start the insurance paperwork"??? THIS IS HORRIBLE TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO!!! DOES SOUTH CAROLINA HAVE THE DEATH PENALTY??? HOPE SO 🙏
Who and when did Maggie text anyone saying he was acting sus?
I agree, and there were small footprints going from one end of the back of that building to the other end, it's chilling to imagine that Maggie must have been just terrified trying to hide. I would have been screaming with fear.
If you’re not sure they are dead wouldn’t you be sitting by them with a comforting word or hand to ease their pain until help can arrive?
The first thing officers do is remove you from the scene. The first thing paramedics do is clear a scene.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to I think she means he should've been with them when they arrived. He was not.
Absolutely 😢
I think I’d be covered in blood from touching my child or husband if I found them like that. He looks clean! Heartbreaking what Maggie’s and Paul’s last thought was My husband/dad is shooting me.
“Guilty on the grounds of not behaving predictably and rationally.” Is that it?
To think he killed them around 9pm, went to see his mom, called people on the drive and then came back and had to fake shock and panic an hour later. Narcissists think they're the smartest person in the room. They rarely are.
He KNOWS they are dead and asks the Officer, "Are they dead?"
A demon on earth...OMG
He was just making sure 😅
@@SaddamHussein726fr sure.
First thing I noticed is he starts talking about the boat accident right after the officer walks up...Her sister testified that the one thing he was concerned about was clearing Paul's name ( after he was deceased) she said she was more concerned who killed her sister and nephew. He wants HIS name cleared...not Paul's.
Yep, he needs to get Paul's name cleared to erase the liability lawsuit!
Yeah he thought long and hard (yeah right) about this alibi that it was somebody against Paul and the family.. and him getting shot on the side of the road didn't work because cousin Eddie.
Setting up a reason for the murders right away.
Exactly! He was worried the lawsuit would wipe him out. True victims look for answers.. why…who? He a psychopath & murderer!
He was giving his alibi within 30 seconds of LE getting there. “It’s a long story”, who cares when you find your wife & child dead? How many times is going to ask if they are dead? He forgot he said he checked their pulse.
And if it was an ambush, he really looked like he was worried about being collateral damage. Anyone in their right mind would have been terrified that the "alleged gunman" could still be somewhere near. Yeah he was he did it!!
@@athenavan2242 that's why he went to the house and got the gun...in case the murder(s) were still around. People need to remember the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, which thus far, the state has not done. They are throwing all his financial crimes in to muddy the fact that their facts don't show AM as the murderer. Rumor mills run wild down here in the south
Him saying to his sister-in-law I'm going to clear my boy's name really struck with her into everyone who found out he said that.. she said well My first thought is who killed my sister and my nephew!?
He also gave his own motive/ his first statements are about the boat wreck trying to create suspects
And if he checked Paul’s pulse he would’ve seen his brain blown out of his head. No need to ask.
It is so incredibly haunting to hear those dogs barking... THEY'RE TRYING TO TELL THE WHOLE STORY!!! so disturbing...
Poor dogs
yes, they are almost weeping.
Those cops just casually walking in the crime scene is unbelievable. Tape it off and wait for investigators. That’s it
I was thinking the same thing! They walk all over that crime scene. All around the victims.
What an awful monster of a man. Justice is coming!
Whole family is rotten.
Found guilty on all counts after less than an hour of deliberation. Given two consecutive life sentences in state prison.
@ 4:53
Alex stops crying, nods at an officer, and says “how you doing?” YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
I think it was the guy, his brother arriving that said: "How ya doing"?
@@Pamlandy2 it was shown in court it was Alex that asked how you doing.
Folks, AM saying How you doing does not prove anything except that he is a southern man and we always say this to acknowledge someone...even when we are distraught. If you start without all the background rumor mill and documentaries and listen to just the evidence, the state has not at all proven AM killed them. They have shown that a slew of other people had motive to do this and pin it on AM.
Stopppppppp.
@@writeongal Buster is that you!?! this is definitely not just “a southern thing “ to be dismissed. He’s in the middle of wailing and telling a sob story, immediately stops doing it (because it’s fake) and says how ya doing without a single issue, then right back to the sob story. Any criminal interrogator can tell you what he’s doing is textbook deception.
And you cannot just dismiss all the “rumor mill” because so much of it is true.
Is he a drug fiend? Yes
Was he just notified the day of these shootings he was getting fired? Yes
Did he try to pin someone else on driving the boat in 2019? Yes
Did he steal millions from victims and write personal checks to himself while giving true victims nothing? Yes
It’s a common theme, when the crap hits the fan, Alex goes off.
The deference shown to Alex Murdaugh by the police officers is stunning. They arrived at the scene of a double homicide; Alex has a shotgun, one victim shot by a shotgun the other by a Blackout and somebody please tell me why he was not put in a police car and questioned immediately as a suspect! His roaming freely around the crime scene making phone calls is disgraceful!
Same as me
The privilege
Innocent untill proven guilty
@@dxddyminato3145 yes but the spouse and the person who dials 911 is always the first suspect and will be until there alibi has been confirmed. Which is not the case here. For all them police knew he could have been in the process of committing mass murder and isn't finished yet. Normally that's what would happen they wouldn't just let him roam freely if for no other reason he could be trying to hide evidence or tamper with the crime scene. This is not normal procedure at a double homicide also they let many visitors contaminate the crime scene rather than preserving it for evidence. Thank God for Paul's video otherwise he may have walked free for this.
I think the police and the investigators and SLED did a phenomenal job !! This guy has close to “100 Lawyers/Friends on their way already. I’m sure things could have gone better but everyone with a badge was on an extreme uphill journey and under a microscope from the jump. Remember they were only being told lies from the husband/ father , the one who found them and the one who dialed 911 , yeah we may need to hear from ya AM !! Feel bad for Buster
Even the poor dogs can sense that there loved ones have been killed by this sicko breaks my heart listening to them crying
Yes the dogs witnessed the slaughter and need comforting.
Poor dogs, so distressed
Poor babies those dogs have more empathy than this monster
I usually don’t jump to conclusions or react any certain way to how people comport themselves in the immediacy of such circumstances. But this feels almost 100% staged.
Just 100%? More like 1000%!
One of the police officers at around 55 minutes said whatever this is it's not going to be hard.. I wonder what that meant and what they saw and what they knew already..
I felt so bad for the sheriff who was TRYING to freaking secure the scene and not contaminate it. He did his best however his colleagues literally walked ALL OVER the whole parameter of the crime scene. There was so much evidence there that kept popping up all over and they're all just standing around taking up a more dang space. He found drops and drips of blood, casings ..like were any of them trained accept the sheriff on how to secure a scene. They all need to go back to training. That sheriff said "Jesus Christ under his breath so much, even he couldn't believe his colleagues were stepping all over the crime scene. Gee wiz. Idiots.
Let’s not forget, that this is one of the most powerful families in that town. I think it was done intentional, to help him and fk up the scene. So it could remain “unsolved”. Tbh.
Thank goodness no matter how hard they tried, it didn’t work. It’s the old good ole boys, helping a brother out. 😡
I know I was so freaking mad watching them just walk around playing with their flashlights shining it on the body is over and over.. 🙄😡😡
And they were practically standing on top of Maggie's body while they were talking.. OMG
I use to live down there for awhile and let me tell you, it is a way different environment than most places, things are extremely slow down there, a lot of the businesses don't even accept cards only cash, and the educational system is extremely behind, I really don't think they were trying to mess with the evidence, I think they really honestly don't have the sense to understand the sheriff is probably from another state lol. I was blown away when I lived down there, but the people were so friendly I will eventually be moving back when I'm ready to retire.
They did not search the house either , too bad . Until was to late .
He was very professional for sure, really on the ball. Yeah ppl walking everywhere, i noticed one guy near Pauls body wasnt wearing gloves
He keeps saying they are dead right because he wants to make sure they are dead.
He doesn’t act like a man who just lost his family to a stranger. He asked the officer how he was doing.
He kept asking are you sure they are dead, and seemed relieved when they said yes.
Yes
So true
yep. if they were alive they'd be able to tell the police it was Alex.
Yes all the times he asked if they were dead was just bizarre- he could see Paul’s brain on the sidewalk!
I know that everyone reacts differently and I really hope he didn’t do it 🙏🏻
One thing I know for sure. If it was me and two of my family members were shot and I was standing there, you’d have to sedate me because I would not be able to deal with it 😔
And, I'd be shaking uncontrollably. He just isn't behaving like someone who just found his two family members brutally killed.
The only people who react differently to severe traumatic situations like this one for example, are those who are trying to act naturally traumatized , in shock, etc from walking into something so unbelievable, especially this scene! For the animal lovers, we would probably be clinging to our dogs who just witnessed their owners being slaughtered....just saying
@leigh9103 I agree poor dogs still standing there scared probably
He did do it lmfao
@@catgray1 And precisely how do you know how someone should behave in this situation?
What you should be saying are words to this effect:
☆ _"I lack sufficient knowledge and experience in such matters to be capable of weighing the facts and circumstances necessary to form a qualified opinion."_
This Sergeant is so in control of the scene. Calm, soothing voice to Murdaugh..even though he didn't deserve it. Supervising the other officers and not getting caught up with the stress of the situation.
Omg you could see straight through his act.
His demeanor the way he’s responding and answering questions , he’s trying to make sure his time is consistent.
I mean it’s written all over him.
God is the judge, jury and prosecutor!
In the afterlife yes GOD is that, but in South Carolina his fate will be set by his peers!
Karma will be the final judge
That's not a very balanced proceeding.
Am I the only one who finds it strange that there was not one security camera in the property? Just wondering…
I thought the same thing, no security or game cameras, odd
You’re not the only one. I’ve thought from day one if they had security cameras, then we would know the truth about the housekeeper that supposedly fell down the stairs. Not to mention this family was extremely careless with all of their firearms. They just left them everywhere for him, being a lawyer, he’s not too bright.
then they would have all sorts of illegal activity on camera
Alex knows that will be a question that is why he said when cross examined that he didn't take threats seriously because they were so ridiculous? Remember he is a lawyer. Prize backside cover.
I find it hard to believe they wouldn’t have game video cameras in the woods. Every hardcore hunter I know has game cameras.
Alex is a hunter. He knows what dead is. And everyone knows you can't live without brains. It's all a desperate ploy to escape what he's going get. Real soon! Justice must be served for ALL of Alex's victims.
Most people still hold out hope even when the person is clearly dead and even when they’ve been dead for hours. It’s a grief response, not acting.
Hunting is murder to some. No value to any life form.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to Exactly
Most don't think or have common sense b4 they speak.
I think he kept asking because he may be worried that there a chance that one of them could still be alive.
@@Nala_1230 What a bizarre response. I will review the evidence from an unbiased point of view and draw a conclusion. You seem to believe this is some game. A man’s life is at stake and you want to send him to prison based on your feelings.
Not ONE SINGLE PERSON I know would be making calls on their cell phone within like a minute of being told their wife and child were dead. They would fall to the ground and be crying hysterically, uncontrollable grief. Him giving the boat first was also unbelievable! That's the first thing he has to say to police?! He is a sociopath.
Totally agree, you would be on the ground crying and unable to speak with head thoughts going all over the place
I agree his behavior was not normal.
When I got "the phone call" every parent dreads, I first felt like a fiery sword cut me down the middle from top to bottom. A split second later I was a screaming bawling mess of utter, piercing grief. I didn't have the wherewithal to call anyone.
My heart goes out to the survivors who truly loved and cherished Maggie and Paul and for all parents who suffer the loss of a child.
He asks the officer if they’re dead, the officer confirms, then Alex tries to cry but instead apologizes to the officer! If it was confirmed that my loved ones were dead, I’d of fallen to the ground screaming! More than likely, they would’ve found me right next to them!
When I got the news one day at work that my little brother was dead, I screamed so loud it scared everyone on my floor! I heard later that everyone went home after that because my screams tormented them. That was in 2006 and I can still hear my screams! 😢😢
I’m so sorry for your loss💔
@@user-pm1ow2ck2hpeople are different,that's your experience
All I know is if that was my child dead on the ground I would be laying right there beside them they would have to drag me out of there I would be uncontrollable, erratic screaming crying …. I cannot imagine absolutely heartbreaking
SAY THAT!!! Same here!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Heather you have summed it up in your comment. Everything Alec says is a lie.
And you would be contaminating the scene. Compromising the catching of the killer.
Wish we could see a dialogue box of what the police officers are saying.
Ya I agree with this
His reaction seems too chill. I know that everyone reacts differently in these situations, but I feel like you're either wailing and sobbing and when answering questions you might wail less, or in shock. He wails and then coughs and apologizes, but as he does it, he sounds like not distressed or something. He just stops the wailing. Idk I can't explain it, but I can tell he is faking.
I would have gone bonkers
I agree, he's so fake it's annoying.
His addiction to opiates explains the “chill” demeanor to a degree. Still think he is guilty especially after the testimony that came out today.
Well he is a malignant Narcissist and they have no remorse or empathy. So it’s always an act and having to mimic the feelings and emotions. They only care for themselves. Not anyone else, and that goes for loved ones as well. he knew his life was unraveling and they were about to find out about all his criminal and fraudulent crimes. So they had to go, he needed to keep protecting Numero Uno, himself. Any and everyone is disposable to a narc. Including their own family.
Yeah and if this happened to my family and your first thought is maybe somebody took revenge I would be in a state of paranoia as well as devastated feelings
He must have had half those police officers in his back pocket,
I’ve NEVER seen a crime scene get ruined like this SHOCKING!!!
THE BODYCAM OFFICER not even being listened too
But you have to take your hat of for him trying 👏
May they rest in peace 🙏💙🦋🙏💙🦋
Did he just ask someone how they were doing at 4:54 in the video? That was beyond odd. My heart goes out to this mom and her son's family and friends. I pray they are in a better place. Also, praying for justice for them.
YES!!! I came straight to the comments to see if anyone else caught that. WTF!!😤
I don't think it' odd at all, it's a habit.
Especially since he was in the middle of answering questions about his son.
I knew he did it right then. Such an irrational behavior.
He did it a couple of times!!! Here at 40:04 he says it again, but his behavior is just a little more suspect to me…..
Apologizing once let alone thrice when crying isn't what a normal person would do when in this situation.
Ok detective.
Or stop in the middle of crying to say HOW YOU DOIN
@Jesse Porter stating one's opinion in a public forum is um how do I put it; oh just that; an OPINION. Assuming one's profession based off an opinion in a public forum is not only pointless, taken in a literal sense; hypocritical. Chin up buttercup 😘
Alex is so guilty! Maggie wanted a divorce. And Alex was being sued due to Paul’s boating accident. They were both going to cost him lots of money that he didn’t have! It’s really that simple! Maggie had even called her best friend on the way to Moselle and said she had a bad feeling about meeting Alex there!
That part!!
Prayers out to all those first responders to such a hideous double murder. You can't unsee that kind of horror. Thank you to all those men on the crime scene.
THANK YOU RHONDA. WE LEARN TO DISASSOCIATE WHAT WE VISUALIZE TO TREAT OR ACCOMPLISH A TASK BASED ON OUR TRAINING.
U
There were women as well. Not just men
They actually looks like they liked it they kept shining their flashlights on them.. know about these keystone cops.. walking all over the crime scene through it all over they were practically standing on Maggie's body talking
@@KimberlyBishh umm no. You don't understand police work and detective work if you think that's why they're checking their bodies so much.
Alex went from sounding frantic, to calm as day, to creating alibis, then suddenly remembering to ask about his dead wife and son. That is just not normal behavior in these circumstances.
Wow, I can't even imagine how I'd act if my kid was murdered, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't start by saying "this is a long story..." As a father, I'm so worried about the safety of my kids that I dream about it sometimes. I'd probably end up in a crazy house.
Yes. To all of it
The HOW U DOIN IS ALMOST AS FUNNY AS THE 911 CALL WHEN THEY ASKED IF MOSELLE WAS A MOBLIE HOME HE GOT OFFENDED AND SAID LOUDLY ITS A HOUSE
When they asked was it mobile home I hollered. Alex was thinking, "Excuse me Peasant?" LoL
Bringing the boat story into it seems to be part of a scheme to prive he wouldn't do this.
Almost like he had his story planned…😉
Thanks to Paul's video, we know Alex was at the kennels with Paul and Maggie. Alex probably had the weapons already hidden behind something before he lured them to Moselle and to the kennels. This was obviously planned to some degree. Alex clearly shot Paul first, then shot Maggie after she ran towards the gunfire to see what just happened. Alex may have screamed for help. Once she realized what was happening she turned to run...but it was too late to escape since Alex was already aiming the rife at her. Who knows if we'll ever know the real motivation for this, because this is so senseless to begin with. It makes no sense for a stranger to have done this with the family weapons.
Motivation -= insurance money. He killed Paul so that people would think it was boat accident revenge.
Thank God Paul is speaking from his grave and gave us direct evidence of his killer. Times up Alex!! Hearing this poor dog barking is heart breaking knowing now that Bubba never left Maggie’s side and had to witness her murder, and couldn’t do anything to protect her.
Amen sister I thought the same thing
He absolutely did not deserve to die, but if you actually knew anything about Paul you’d be grieving for Maggie instead.
@@herec0mestr0ble didn't deserve to die is debatable but should've definitely been locked up for the casualty on his boat due to his reckless drunk driving
Maggie didn't love that dog. If she did, that dog would have been at the beach with her, not in a concrete enclosure!
@CYRUSTHEVIRUS Yes he did, and he’ll have to answer to God on that. But I’m sure glad he took his killer down with him.
Big problem is that Alex specifically asked Maggie and Paul to come home that evening because his dad was in the hospital -Maggie was supposed to go with him to his Mom's house (Maggie was not aware his dad had been transferred to the hospital). This was all testified to by Maggie's sister. Most of the things Alex said are lies.
Obviously a set up leading lambs to slaughter! Paul and Maggie not staying there. I find it hard to believe random killers would not know they were there nor would they know of the hour window of alec being in almeda to come randomly kill his family hello! Both Maggie and Paul were getting ready unknown to them to go down on alecs ship of financial devastation. Lost his job he was looking at jail time for his crimes financially. No longer able to support their lifestyle. Paul and Maggie financial liability. Alec is ruthless in all of his actions. Alec states he is a drug addict.that usually is a doctor jeckle Mr Hyde situation. I personally experienced that with a spouse and came close to loosing my life on several occasions. It's all a tragedy! To what lengths people go to its crazy.
Random killers do not come use family guns to commit the crime. This was a crazy situation I hope the jury finds justice for Paul and Maggie no one deserves to die like that.
There you go. That makes sense. Feeling sorry for a dog want solve this murder.
Instead of talking about his wife and son brutally killed with force of shotgun blasts, he talks about the boat case, trying to pin the murder on "someone after the family". He talks about everything else instead of the horror that has occurred to HIS family! Jeezus! Does this get any worse??? Oh yeah, it does, when he tries to "get shot" by a stranger on the road!
Everyone knows it is almost always the husband that kills the wife. The police should have treated him as the number one suspect right off no matter the situation.
When you spew your alibi, timeline, whereabouts, family history , suspicions, before cop says hello.. red flag
I feel horrible for these dogs. They witnessed something awful and you can hear them crying 😢
Some humans were affected too
yeah they are crying
Why do some people sympathize more with the dogs?
@@lindasavary4407 because dogs are better than most humans that roam this earth 💯
they should have taken Alex by the dogs...bet they would have growled at him!
I never realized how close together their bodies were. Maggie saw him murder Paul before her own death. I can't imagine the horror.
I thought they were 30 yards apart... maybe 30 feet?
That’s probably not true. She would have ran.
Immediately started placing the blame on others before even being questioned
How can a dad ride around with his son for 2 hours visiting knowing he was going to kill him later that day? Just chilling 😢
I thought the same
the way he calms down when he confirms deaths again is chilling .
Wonder if he was relieved so there would be no chance they could tell what happened to them? Hmm.. 🤔😳🤦♀️
@@crystalfaulkner1777 definitely
I noticed that as well
@@arb9001 definitely yes sick pos
@@crystalfaulkner1777 yes he was that was relief I agree
Right away he goes in to his alibi. "Funny you should ask, this is a long story...so my son got pulled over."
His acting job is so cringe.
Even more heartbreaking to watch after guilty verdict.
Weird how he was "upset" talking to the cop & then casually says "how ya doin" to another & thwn goes back being "upset" again
He asks the cop "how you doin?" After he just saw his family members exploded
When you think that you've committed the perfect crime, there's a million ways to f it up
My heart breaks for these dogs! They saw the entire scene! They were no doubt traumatized. Pleading for attention. Their squeals and yelps were ignored. I hope they have a safe home now. Poor pups! Such a horrible tragedy all around. Thankful justice has been served quickly!
The housekeeper took Maggie's dog but don't know what happened to the others
With how gruesome Alex is, I’m surprised he didn’t shoot the dogs too with bullets flying everywhere
Frrr their barks were very worrisome. They were scared out of their minds 🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️
@@imaloose 😂
This is how hunting dogs always sound in pens when people are near.
We need to thank the dog for having an issue with his tail because without that there’d be no video that sealed AM’s guilt. Evil narcissist sociopath who clearly hated his son and then to chase after Maggie as she ran away completely terrified at what she saw and no doubt knew what was coming next.
Paul’s friend Rogan is the unwitting hero. He asked Paul to send him video of his dog.
@@dallasfan24
That’s so true!
Exactly! Thank you Cash!
I would be a basket case, screaming in anguish if i found my son and husband like that. Just totally beside myself with grief and fury for whoever did it. Even thinking about this happening to them sends my pulse racing and brings tears to my eyes.
Everyone reacts differently but I feel the same.. especially your child… and finding them. My husband and I have been together since we were 15. 22 years. 4 kids. If this happened god forbid idk if I could go on in that moment they’d have to sedate me in the hospital. I’d be very concerned about my other children begging them to ensure they’re safe and screaming asking why they weren’t scouring the wood line/woods and him with hunting dogs if I had to id get them out myself and be on someone’s trail. Given all the circumstances his history motive etc. with his body language and calling 20+ people to come stomping around contaminating the scene, he was somewhat calculated just trying to cover his tracks. My worst fear is losing a child or my husband I’d be beyond consolable. Couldn’t even speak coherent words
Absolutely! I love how people are jumping in saying “people react differently” sure that’s true but NOT like this. He’s clearly guilty!!
I would have been cradling my dead child no matter how bad his head wound was . I would have been holding him , in hysterics,, and a bloody mess !! A spouse would be terrible too but your child just hits different. How could he ???
For a father who’s an attorney and was worried about his son Paul bcuz of numerous threats towards him from the boating accident, I would think he would have high security cameras and what not🤔
Even him being a defense attorney you’d think he’d have security cameras everywhere on his property. Even for his dogs. As that’s a pretty big kennel. It baffles me as in todays world most ppl have them.
Ring cameras and on as they’re not that expensive to have. 🤔
GUILTY!!!!!!!
Unless you were planning a murder…
He dealt with PI cases not crime
Maybe because he had many side shenanigans running of his own that didn't want eyes on him. Must have had game cams in hunt areas but refused them on him. Thank goodness for phone & vehicle record spying
This case is so twisted I'm surprised he didn't have them either, but if he did they would be "broken" a few months back... you know, faulty wiring or something convenient like that... sicko this guy
It's interesting how he apologizes after confirming with the officer that his family was dead.
I know he's technically referring to his state of emotions, but it is rather interesting if he presumably did murder them. Kind of a subconscious response or something of the like.
It's like he is subconsciously admitting guilt while feigning innocence.
Very interesting perspective and point!
Yep!
I thought the same thing!
My heart broke even more hearing and seeing those poor dogs 💔
Same. It’s terrible
If only they could talk! They watched their master and son killed.. she took those dogs with her almost every day.
Poor dogs know Maggie's dead. She loved them and they loved her.
It's sad
Who says "how you doing" in a time like this
He first talks about the gun then the boat story etc... Then ask if they are dead! He is a MONSTER!!
Couldn’t he be in shock and panic ?
I see no deception here. Just a genuine reaction to finding such a horrible scene. I’ve witnessed people finding their loved ones and talking with paramedics and police. This is exactly what it looks like. They want to help them so they try to focus and answer questions, they ask if they’re ok, they have moments where they break down, their thoughts are a bit jumbled as they try to cope. He asked nearly word for word the same questions most people ask in this situation. If you watch enough of these cases, you’ll see people who did it tend to not ask about the victims at all. They’re focused on themselves. I don’t see a guilty man here but I haven’t reviewed the rest of the evidence.
He said he rolled Paul over, touched Maggie and Paul. Then later he asks if they are dead. No gunshot residue or blood on his clothes or hands, except one grain). Really???? None??? After he touched two victims, each with multiple gunshot wounds??? He LIES!!!!
I think the man is innocent.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to The
That poor dog probably saw and heard it all.
can't believe he asked if he checked them. then said. so they are dead? so obvious. horrible acting by a horrible human being
Don't know which dog it is, but when the 3 officers were standing around Paul's body the bodycam footage included the kennel. One yellow Lab was standing at the cage watching quietly not barking, the other Lab was laying on the floor of the same cage. Both dogs were traumatized but the one laying down was clearly in shock. I know the signs as I'd witnessed it when my dad was taken by ambulance and never returned home, my dog and 2 cats showed outward signs of grief and mourning when he never came home. It took some time for them to recover, especially from the nightmares, animals feel loss too just as humans do.
So tragic,what's more tragic is the whole situation, and all of this essentially is down to one man trying to avoid dealing with what's coming. Being highly educated doesn't bring commonsense
Yeah. Another Anthony Todt.
He’s not highly educated
Thank you officer for allowing me to shower and change and bury my old clothes;
Certainly Mr Murdaugh, can I get you some hot coffee???
This man is evil, HE IS SO DISCONNECTED, he didn’t have not 1 REAL EMOTION… it’s really hard for me to watch this video without getting upset…
Oh but he has an addiction problem so that explains it away... monster
This man is a true psychopath I'm sure in the future he will be in the textbooks teaching others what the definition of a psychopath is like Jeffrey Dahmer and Tom Bundy
Watching the first minute of this video had me saying “IKYFL!” This guy can’t be serious. Give this man an Oscar! He indeed committed that crime!
When a person shows more concerned about talking about where they were an pretty much trying to set up their alibi before worried about their loved ones..watch em. He would go from being distraught & crying to talking normal an being fine. Emotions dont work like that
Edit: For the people who seem confused. Of course you dont know how you would react in a situation like this some maybe angry 1st sad or shocked but you do not EVER go from breaking down crying distraught to being able to straight face talk an answer questions in a blink of an eye.
@MzNikki Savage Exactly. How many people could even talk without being in shock for hours after finding both their spouse and son's heads were near blown off? I know everyone grieves in different ways, but this performance is so unbelievable.
I know when my son was murdered I was not coherent at all. Me and his mom could not drive home we were a mess for days months, we are just now learning to love again a year and a half later. We also did not find our son. I could not imagine seeing what had happened to our boy. Talking with detectives the next day was aweful and I don’t remember much of that time very well. They had to do a dna test to identify our son because the monster that killed him burned his body and I remember almost passing out as they did the dna swab. It was a surreal experience. I just cannot explain it.
Wrong. You don't know HOW you would react in this situation.
@@joncollins7969 I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 I can't even imagine.
For an example of what you’re talking about, watch Chris Watts. This video shows a normal reaction. He’s trying to talk to police because it helps his family. He asks about them several times and within just a few minutes. He’s clearly distraught. Your analysis of the situation is an uneducated one.
If you are poor, they don't let you walk around freely without handcuffs and questioning first. JS
Spot on ❤
Those whines from the poor dogs was breaking my heart.
His reaction when the cops show up are adrenaline, fear, anxiety, and trauma from what he saw when he shot and killed his wife and child.
Remember, he said whoever had done this had planned it for a long time.
Those dogs sound stressed. They are telling the story. 😢
Oh yeah they know, we just can't understand them
My dog is upset about me listening to this.
@@jensfaboo 😂 🐕 They are observant of every little detail and so sensitive!
There’s like a hundred strangers tromping around their yard. Of course they’re gonna bark. I’m surprised at how quiet they all are.
In the beginning when the officer asked for Paul's birthday, Alec stops speaking instantly to listen to what the officer's radio is saying. 5:10
I noticed his hesitation, but until you mentioned it, not the why. Good observation!
@@phyllisrenthomas8752I thought he just didn’t remember his birthday.
Well I can honestly and with 100% certainty say that SCLED and responding officer and EMS all collectively fck'd this entire crime scene up. No one should have been walking around in the dirt until someone could be there to examine footprints, tire tracks, etc... In a situation such as this you have to work it from the outside in, not inside out. Far too many people were allowed to walk around and touch and contaminate everything. Once again, we will never know what everyone should have known by now because of the incompetence of everyone involved. If Alex Murdough did kill Maggie and Paul he will most likely get away with it after seeing this video and hearing 16 days of testimony in court so far. I just don't understand the level of ignorance and incompetence associated with the investigation and crime scene of these murders. Pathetic at its best!
Yep...
Keystone cops at it again.....
Paul's video had him convicted so it doesn't matter about the crime scene.
@Donna Teet it in no way had him convicted. WTF are you talking about? That was circumstantial evidence at best. He did not kill his wife and son, but I bet "Cousin Eddie" knows who did. Eddie failed the polygraph, he refused to testify and he refuted everything and was a bigger liar than AM. Good thing you are not a cop, lawyer or judge. Sad enough that you could be a juror at some point.
@@donnateet1120 Yes... I hate that the prosecuters were saying the cops did such a great job! They could all learn something from this. The first couple of weeks I was worried... I mean really worried. Thank goodness he was caught on that video at the kennels and the OnStar Data or he would have gotten off. Juries don't like screw ups.
I have two kids! If this would have happened to my love ones, I don’t think I would be alive. My heart would have stopped right there and then.
The gall of this man trying to blame this on the Beach family. Haven't they been through enough. Alex doesnt care who he hurts.
A normal person would be inconsolable. They would be on the ground with their loved one!! They would be screaming, “Why???? Who would do this.” If you did it,you can cry from fear of getting caught and how gruesome it is. Otherwise, he is too chill for this to be zero involvement on his part.
4:29 Alex says "I'm very sorry"
For what ? the crimes committed?
His behaviour is very strange.. he starts crying then stops. His voice goes all squeaky then he's back to normal self. His 1st point to LE was to inform them of the boat accident... wth.. priorities all wrong.
Poor dogs knew what was up and showed more compassion than AM. Hearing the dogs whimpering got me 💔 Justice for Paul and Maggie
I've been hit with bad news over my decades. For me, it felt like I was in a haze or dream. Everything immediately around me, seemed to be moving very slowly, like I was in a protective bubble. I could hear, and see things, but it's like those things weren't being registered in my brain. Felt like my feet weren't touching ground... it's horrible. Later on, I still felt like my feet weren't touching ground. I'd sit, or lie down, and stare at nothing. Hours would pass, and it seemed like just a few minutes.
Shock and grieving. You move forward, but you truly never fully get over it. It's true, every individual may have a different reaction. However, watching this video, and the ongoing trial, this man scares me. He appears devoid of what most would call "normal" thinking and behaviour. I feel like his siblings know him VERY well. They grew up with him. They know what he's capable of doing. They know he's guilty.
So sorry you went through those tough times. I hope you are doing ok.
I like the cop Cody. You can tell he’s fairly new or never been to a homicide. He wants to help so bad and not mess anything up.
I feel bad for him. His boss keeps belittling him. It's cringe
Lol poor Cody.
Do I need to write their in and out times if they walk out and come back?
Boss: you don't need to keep doing all that
@@elondeheyzeus1971 when did his boss belittle him at all? All he did was try to tell him what he needed to do and did it in a respectful way. Maybe your feelings are too soft?
@@ls4.8frank it's OK we feel differently about things. no need to express your emotions onto me. That's something insecure beta males do
I like when they said "who's the most expendable one here who can write down names and times" and he shines the flashlight around his feet and says "that guy" lol
The dogs crying tells everything. Poor babies witnessed it.
I was thinking that the dogs must’ve felt something. They have such a keen awareness to things like this I think.
I was surprised how quickly they quieted down. Perhaps they were in fear so much going on
@@theunquietmindpodcast nah. They're just wild beasts and probably hungry/ uncomfortable with all the lights and people walking around at unusual hour
I believe they sensed death. Maybe it’s my fantasy but I thought they were crying. Grady and Bubba loved Maggie.
They’re dogs, dogs bark…….
“It’s official that they’re dead?”
-then in immediate relief mode, he calms way down and says,
“I’m very sorry” - for acting so upset.
Cop with the body cam was getting aggravated by that rookie cop and his incompetence
Dogs are highly intelligent, they are upset because the killer is still there. Maggie was close to the dogs, they know what happened.
I agree with you … the dogs do know the killer is still there . They are traumatized !
Those poor dogs. Well, of course the wife and son as well, but I can't stand hearing the dogs crying and upset.
I’ve met Alex before, he came to the local feed and seed I was working at, he was kinda odd, after he left my boss told me he’s a lawyer, about a few months later, I saw him in the news.
I am shock that he is asking and reassuring if they are dead! This is so involving him to the killing.
I mean yes he is 100% guilty. But asking over and over again if they are dead does not really attach him to the murder. The only reason why you think that is because you know he did it. If you watched with without knowing he murdered that family it would just look like a sad father that can’t cope that his family is dead.
Wtf are they doing to that crime scene?! Good grief. Destroy evidence much?
Did anyone else notice the ironed crease in the front of his tshirt? At the beginning when he’s talking to the deputy before he lifts his shirt to wipe his face… definitely a fresh shirt
Wife and son are dead and he's "how you doing?"
Their bodies are literally jlying on the ground, and he paces back in forth like he's just been in a fender bender.
If not for Paul’s Snapchat video he might have got away with this.
You are right, but a higher power was making sure that this man's evil reign of terror was going to come to an end. They have a documentary on Netflix about all the people that have suspiciously died connected to him and how the townspeople were terrified of him.
I'll never understand evil people like him, Watts and all the other murdering scum-bags, and then think "thank God I don't".
I'm not really tech savvy and don't know the differance between Snapchat & Instagram, but can you please tell me why Paul would have gone on Snapchat around the time of the murder's? Thank you 🤔🇬🇧
Has the jury seen this video yet? I hope so. It is very damning. He immediately gave himself an alibi. Who does that? Who keeps asking if their dead? His son’s brain is completely out of his head.
@@Zee-et4rd Thanks. I heard it at the beginning of the trial “Hey how ya doing?”, but did not know it was a video. How would I. They are not showing the viewers anything. I saw the video yesterday too.
You all are not taking into account that he is on pain pills and that interferes with the ability to cry normally 😢 The evidence doesn't show AM as the hit man thus far.
The jury will never see this. Unless they watch it after the trial.
@@BJenny38 According to Zee’s answer to my post and me remembering hearing this video at the beginning of the trial, the jury already has seen this video. Why do you think the jury “will never see this”? It is evidence and very damning evidence at that!
I wouldn't believe my kid was dead either. That part seems normal to me.
Unbelievable acting, as soon as the police officer came towards Alex he started talking about the threats his son was getting the whole 2years since his son murdered that young beautiful girl in the boat tragedy. Also he kept asking if they was dead because he knew they saw him shoot them & he wanted to be 100% sure.
According to my dog's reaction to those dogs barking, they have something to say and my doggy seems to think they are distressed..
