Edit those phone numbers out wtf you're doxxing them
@@christophernaggs4018 not like he is using his phone anymore ... 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@christophernaggs4018 its part of the public record !! (i think)
Any objections ?
@@corinnag3 his brothers number?
@@christophernaggs4018 it’s probably an old number I’d imagine or they would have blurred it out
Even if he didn’t do this, he’s such a heartless person. His housekeeper falls on his property and her one son was evicted because he couldn’t afford their house payments and Alex gets a big settlement for them and keeps all the money! How heartless do you have to be to do that?
I agree his financial crimes don't make him a killer
he's a sociopath....narcissist....& a psychopath....wrapped up like in a nut bar roll
Don’t forget the Smith boy who they believe is connected to the family
He's getting his just desserts. His wife Maggie had visited a divorce lawyer a couple weeks before the murders. Paul was getting ready to go to court for the death he caused, and then there's the money-laundering/money thefts he was responsible for. The guy is a dirtbag!!!!
I have no doubt he did this as a LIAR and THEIF will kILL to save themselves$ no matter who is in their way and in this case it was his wife and 2nd born son! Alex is from CAIN$ 'roots$'
Alex Murdaugh, "I can't tell you of anyone I am overly suspicious of."
... Proceeds to list all the people he is overly suspicious of.
🤣🤣🤣
He’s a clown 🙄😂
Everytime something happens he has to accuse others and is way out to lunch. Like he could have said "I owe millions so maybe the banks or someone I ripped off"
Uncanny amount of detail and composure for someone who just found his son with his brain on the ground and his wife murdered. I would be crying to the point of gasping for air and vomiting if I found anyone, much less my loved ones.
Everyone is different, everyone react to traumatic events differently. We should not make our presumable reactions as an absolute.
I understand he was a lawyer and or prosecutor? So he's expected to go into professional workmode then
You're also a woman. Men are taught to keep their composure. Imagine how much more painful it would be to suppress the pain while complying with law enforcement.
He's also talking about his son Paul in the present tense like he's still alive.
Surely everything at this moment is surreal to him, and reality has not set in. Not to mention this interview is several hours after the 911 call.
The police are literally pressing him with lots of logistics questions that cause him to go into that type of calm logical thinking. Not that your opinions on how someone would and should act are special or anything absolute or even meaningful at all.
It is typical of a practical person/personality type to react this way, to get the 'business' at hand done. You cannot discount his sobbing earlier. Can't fake what we just saw. Reasonable doubt here!
He went from seemingly devastated to unbothered really quick
You'd think he would be showing signs of anger about somebody having just massacred his family.
And more sadness.
People react to shocking ebvents in many different ways.
@@combatepistemologist8382 sure, but most just wouldn't be able to think straight enough to give a thorough statement. Too many emotions to deal with.
Shock and confusion can alter emotions. It happened to me. I didn't cry for several days. I don't know his guilt or innocence, but everyone reacts differently.
yup. it's called "vanishing perpetrator". when someone's guilty they're less likely to speak of a perpetrator, so much so that they usually speak in passive grammar like "they were killed", instead of "someone killed them".
That boating accident is crazy in itself. I've seen a few different documentaries on this whole family. Even the cockiness of his son after the accident while everyone else is in tears and freaking out, attempting to look for the missing girl, he's there with this attitude of "you know who I am?! Can we wrap this up?" Insane.
I would have been embarrassed if my son acted the way his did … just a disgusting brat!! Both are nothing more than images of him
What documentary?
@@ForgetMeNott907 it doesn’t come out on Netflix until Feb 22
@@jeffb.4800 comes out on Netflix Feb 22
@@brandonsmith3782Smith Low Country The Murdaugh Dynasty. I also watched in one night.
You can see how uncomfortable the cop questioning him is. I can read his mind…he’s thinking “I’m sitting next to a man who just murdered his wife and kid”.
Man the whole family was a train wreck, what stood out to me is the careless way the mother talked when she was reporting on the housekeepers accident, and the son father and grandfathers behaviour at the hospital after the boat accident very heartless bunch capable of anything.
Generations of no accountability.
He doesn't mention being scared for Buster or himself or asking about protection for them. If a murderer is on the loose and taking vengeance on your family, wouldn't that be a concern? Wouldn't you be fearful for the life of your remaining child, your mother alone at her house, yourself?
💯
Not only that, he was also "yelling" during his 911 call. I would be whispering because I would be scared of the perpetrators coming back.
He had already been to the house, changed, showered & driven to throw Maggie's phone & returned to the scene.
Like Alex I'd be more concerned about the sunflower seeds. /s
@@sunnyann7 🤣
This is why I have trust issues. Imagine forming a relationship with someone and building a family together, then one day that person wants to murder you for money. It’s insane!
Right huh! He was a man of high status too, not a homeless man off the street. Can't trust anyone.
She felt something was off tho - she was filing a divorce. But very often the partner it too late to get out of there.
Well the chances are pretty slim you could find a guy without a conscience like this one, honestly! I know today there seem to be a lot more sociopaths but surely we could pick up on signs something was off. Or maybe they just change overnight. I don’t think so.
1in 100 people are psychopathic. you can get better at spotting them.
@@janicescott7338 nope its literally 1 in 100 people are psychopaths.
I had to put my dog down in the most peaceful way and I couldn’t even talk for 5 minutes without breaking down the next 2 days. This man just witnessed his wife and son dead in front of him and he’s this calm a few minutes after finding them.
I hear you, I just went through this. The pain is so immense it just brings you to your knees. Just excruciating without words to describe.
And no blood on him either
Some people react differently
It's creepy how calm he is.
When one of the first people you call to a murder crime involving your wife and son is your lawyer makes me curious
Is that his lawyer in the backseat?
He called his two brothers. Not a lawyer. Well his brother is a lawyer. But not his.
Like everyone is sick in that car
His personal attorney (not his brother) is in the backseat along with a female detective.
One of the first things he does when he gets in to the car is he looks up at the camera. He’s also scanning the dash. Creature knows exactly how to act
I saw that too, him looking at the camera and dash.
If I was the officer I would have asked he had a cold or needed a tissue:)
It's the oxys
I would've been sick sitting in that car with him snorting and spitting and the lawyer coughing.
It was like he was looking into my eyes. So creepy.
I couldn't find my dog for no more than 30 seconds inside my own house, thought she had escaped somehow and almost had a panic attack. How a parent can be so cruel to their own family like this is unimaginable.
I feel traumatized by this case. I cant begin to imagine the hurt he has caused his family and the whole town.
If I saw my family like what he is saying you wouldn't be able to understand I was speaking human. He snaps right out of crying and I have not seen a single tear!
Yeah, I guess to be fair everyone is different but I am sometimes hard to understand when I'm under far less stress. I'd be an inconsolable basket case, cops would have to talk to me later.
The absence of tears means nothing. Plus, we have to remember... his son caused the death of a beautiful young woman with a very large family and then bragged to people in town that his daddy would get him cleared of any charges.
I think the cops are a little one-sided here.
His name is MURDERock! What more proof do you need??
I can't remember phone numbers on any given day and he can just rattle them off after seeing that
I thought the same thing. I've always said if anyone messes with my kids, just put me in a straight jacket. How do you function after seeing all that
One of the most suspicious things is how he claimed he touched both bodies and actually tried to roll Paul over and didn't get any blood whatsoever on himself.
Very suspicious. He didn’t. He just wants to seem caring. Concerned. Liar
Right. He's clean as a whistle in the cop car!!!! He said when he got back from his mother's house, he found the bodies, tried to check for a pulse on both bodies, tried to flip his son over to get a pulse but wasn't able to, and then he called family/911. No blood on him whatsoever! The cops do notice this. I can tell watching this video that they knew he was the one. They're pretending to care because the police always want to make sure a suspect isn't aware they know.
Well for someone who's actually been through something similar brain matter and I... I checked the pulse of 4 people had no blood on me at all. I also left them after and got a weapon till the police arrived. Finally my demeanor wasn't much different either. The hysterics didn't come till the next day. Shock of what I just went through. I also didn't go back by my dead family. How could anyone look at their loved ones like that. If you could I'd question that more
@@KayInMaine And they're aware they're working with one of the most famous (infamous) people in the entire state.
@@KayInMaine It's late at night, long day already, it's been raining off and on, hot and humid and his shirt looks like he just put it on...
I bet he picked up his phone to see if there was anything on it that shouldn't be and then realized they would be able to see if there was any activity after death so he put it back down near the body. This case is heartbreaking and so disturbing. It's more convoluted and unbelievable than any movie
You are SO right! And they were asking about a timeline and he couldn’t say anything because he hadn’t gotten his story straight! And he said that he had been at his moms for 40 minutes but we now know that her caretaker said it was just 20 minutes but he had asked the caretaker to lie and say it was 40 minutes.
...yes and even stranger that the fingerprint guy didn't find ANY prints on it. Really?
Yes it's possible. I wonder if they have security cameras outside their/ their neighbours homes/ inside some vehicle in their area? Most people have phones, many record themselves/ take videos/ pics from their window/ car.
Was lady trapped into telling her wheabouts?
Was she planning a suprise and got misunderstood for having an affair?
Was she being watched/ followed by her kidnapper?
Did she book any holidays?
Did she play the lottery/ WIN MONEY?
Was she planning to leave him?
Did she discover her husband's secret? Crime / past
- did the lady keep a diary/ journal?
Was she logged on to dating apps?
- most people NEVER just leave their pets and disappear.
@@michellebaca1024 interesting
Turns out the phone was dead. Battery life was presented in court
Watch his eyes, after every statement he makes. He's waiting to see what their response is, and if they're buying it. Psychopath.
How does he check pulses , with large pools of blood around them and not get blood on him
Why would you check a pulse? If your kids brains are everywhere and the whole back of his head is missing
I think the cop doing the interview is'nt buying any of this.
Exactly,changed his clothes
Cause he took a shower and changed his clothes would be my guess. Doesn't his hair look wet?
@@bonniebroach4721 the housekeeper later found a damp towel, khakis, and a shirt on the bathroom floor. The floor was also wet.
It’s crazy how the tears dry out so quickly after a “breakdown”
that's because it wasn't no tears from the start
@@josephnelson4376 lol I know that’s what I was implying
The dude is a business person he is just trying to get as much information out as quickly as possible. They are practical. This man is obviously grieving. He's just trying to be strong. Man, can we just try to give the benefit of the doubt? Listen to his words while you judge his demeanor. Many people are like this. It's called shock! Reasonable doubt!
This kind of stuff doesn't really mean anything everyone is different and responds differently to tragedy, some people go crazy and some people shut down... some people concentrate on other things and some people get stuck reliving it over and over... everyone acts differently you can't decide his guilt on something like this. We just have to watch the trial and wait for all the evidence to come together and see what the jury decides... hopefully they will get it right.
No I do the same thing.. it probably comes from a parent who wouldn't let him cry so he stops himself because to him crying is not allowed
Wow, how can he be so calm. When my dad pass away of cancer, I was numb from head to toe, didn't want to talk anyone N here he is so calm talking to the Detective....
Im always amazed at how calm these officers are in these intense situations and how normal they make this all seem to the party they are interviewing.
Right? And everybody falls for it, even a friggin lawyer just keeps talking like it's friendly questions, I watch so many of these detectives acting so concerned to drill ya for info..idiots
It's just a job.
When my son was found dead you better believe I was on the floor wailing for hours and days on end. He is just describing this as if the trauma was to much for him. Not that he lost the most important people in his world.
Sorry for the loss of your son💔💙 🦋
I’m so sorry for your loss
@@Onj207 🦋
@@tracievendetta1908 Thank you so much, that is very kind of you.
ikr and his son had the back of his head blown off. omg!
He knows exactly how to act , lawyers are excellent at it
AND he is a Gemini Lawyer... let's see if he can pull this off!
He’s a personal injury attorney who just saw his wife and son shot. His sons brains were scattered. No attorney I know would be that detached, just sayin
Plus it's in his last name
@@joymonger69420 I agree. 5 mins or less tops they knew.
@@babsmalone5486 everything he did was premeditated just so he could get the life insurance money. He had his wife and his son killed
A guy who can murder his own child and then calmly, carefully fabricate a bunch of stuff that he hopes will implicate another innocent person - that's just other level psychopath. As well connected as he is politically, it's no wonder our society is run by absolute sociopaths.
If my wife & son were murdered , I would not be able to control my emotions, crying, disbelief, nothing resembling calm and collected like Alex M.
He is a Lawyer, an expert in lying.
How can you tell when A Lawyer is Lying ? Answer = when you see his Lips moving. 🤣
Man if I saw 2 strangers killed that way, I would be more emotional than this guy and I would be crying real tears.
He could see Paul’s brain but tried to to turn him over to see. Clearly they were both dead. He thought Paul would have a pulse without a brain? I know people can be in shock and I’ve never experienced that but still…..this is weird.
Yes and then he asked multiple times if they are dead
I agree. It is strange, he's acting off this entire video. But I want to say people can and do react strangely to things like this (tw graphic) i.e. Jackie Kennedy climbing onto the back of the car after JFK was shot was actually to grab a piece of his brain. She held onto it until they got to the hospital, where she proceeded to hand it to a nurse. So idk, to me his lack of tears and weird comments are what makes him seem so suspect more than anything else
@@Kayla-wy2vx thats true but Jackie also didnt speak almost at all and was in such immense shock she didnt change her outfit for a long time after the shooting. She showed legitimate signs of shock and distress, he switches between emotions and seems to act indifferent to the deaths in my opinion.
@@thomasrobinson306 Jackie was offered to change her outfit several times that day/night. Her response was 'let them see what they've done'.
You don’t have to turn someone over to check for a pulse. If, he did turn them over to check for a pulse, I’d imagine he’d have some blood/DNA on his hands.
"My office number" HA, YOU WERE FIRED TODAY! You have No office number!
Right!!
Guilty….I knew it…his tears are not real, he’s able to “change emotions” quickly…what a monster
It's scary knowing that people will put their family or anyone in dirt for money
They still from u too
@@YeahThatPart*steal?!
What money ??
The wife and the son had no life insurance.
What money would he gain by killing his wife and son exactly?
we're just big bugs.
Imagine killing your own son my son is six years old and he’s my best friend in the entire world. Literally my best friend we do everything together I don’t have him full-time but he’s always been my best friend we split it 50-50… I could not imagine.
I know it’s not all the audio, but I would imagine if he didn’t know the killer, he would be imploring the detectives to find the person, help keep him and his family safe, etc. Just odd he’s so calm if a would-be killer were still loose.
And his son and everyone else coming to the scene (first his lawyer) when it's pitch dark outside and you never know if there's a sniper hiding in the woods. He obviously knows who did it and that there's no more danger in the dark.
Right they’d be looking for him as many families as he’s stolen from... they’d be looking for buster too with the stephens case. So he wouldn’t assume safety, even if he was ready to die his housekeepers and other family would be at risk.
Amazing how no tears are being shed…
He’s just seen his wife and sons dead bodies and he’s holding an in depth, detailed conversation???!!There is no way that I could even string a sentence together! Enough said.
"His cellphone popped out of his pocket..." Sure it did.
Wow. He stopped crying long enough to provide quite a Suspect List. We could solve so many more crimes if everyone just kept a list like this in their heads in case they ever needed it for a murdered loved one.
Lol
😂😂😂😂
He did steal millions from people
His son was involved in a boating accident where a girl died and the girls brother said "I'm gonna kill you"
He did have a housekeeper die under suspicious circumstances and then fraud her family out of money
He also had a career putting people behind bars.
So to claim that there couldn't be other people that would want to harm him or his family is a little crazy
@@moriordan85 well his son's case w the boat death was about to cost him a LOT of $$$.
It's been a long time since I've had a for real from the gut belly laugh, this comment is hilarious to me
He is so calm and collected considering he has just lost his wife and son .something is not write with him ,I would be a mess if I had just witnessed my sons dead body.
He's awfully clean for someone handling mutilated bodys, like taking pulses
The officer is already suspicious. I can see it in his eyes.
this man's sociopathology combined with his power and desire for power, very, very frightening
Wow. Thank you for not editing out those phone numbers.
If this happened to my wife and son, I’d be begging every minute to please do this another time. I just need to be around my family.
The way he’s holding himself, his own guilt is oozing out of every pore….
Totally weird to say the least, absolutely perverse by definition
I can't wait to hear what the Behavior Panel on YT has to say about this 'interview' with Alex after finding his wife murdered and his son with his head blown off AFTER he faked an attack on himself. lol
Idk if he did it or not but he is innocent until proven guilty
The way he keeps touching his peter is a dead giveaway.
I have no sympathy for this man. Saying he and his wife have a great relationship was a lie. They weren't even living together. I've never heard of so many people dying around one family before.
If it were my spouse and child they would have to sedate me.
Listen to his choice of words. He said "As good as it can be." I believe he's responsible for their murders whether he shot them personally or was the reason they were shot but his word play is very telling
He really wants you to believe he was so proud of his son knowing he was upset with the stuff he was doing
Hello just curious how come they were not living together even tho married seems odd
Would understand if was bf and gf
@@danbruno5945 Alex lived mostly a hunting property and Maggie lived at beach house. Hunting property is close to Alex's work. Their marriage was not in a good place. Ck out the Murdaugh Murders Podcast ytube channel. They have about 4 yrs history on this family.
@@tarotmafia you have no idea what you are even talking about lmfao. What is wrong with you?
What’s crazy is I believe he is sad about losing his “boy” and this is genuine grief for what he did to him and the last image of him. Alex was willing to brutally murder people he loved because it was best for him. Its so crazy.
Yeah. I agree. Just because he did it doesn't mean he isn't in shock or grieving the loss. People are complicated.
@@suwaidajalal Some people are also psychopaths. Take a quick google search on them, it'd explain Alex very well and you'll come away knowing about 1% of the population do not have a conscience, feel guilt or remorse...and are impulsive asf, they mimic emotions they see in others and it always seems off at times they don't have much experience with...in other words, he doesn't feel the grief/remorse so doesn't know exactly when and how to fake it and all the regular folks on here sense it (excluding those on here working for the defense).
The poor man was so upset. Could hardly chew his gum!
🤣👏🤣🤣🤣
I can't help but to pronounce his last name like "Murder" at this point
Good one
I exactly have the same!!! Hehe 😜
"I've never been prouder of him, how he handled that incident." drove a boat carelessly stinking drunk, killed someone, and faced NO consequences because of his last name. Real proud.
Actually, it was Alex who was facing the consequences of that boat crash which really became the impetus for the murders
yep this 14th Circuit solicitor fam is above the law~the Entitlement Force is strong w this family..
And imagine killing someone. Getting away with it without any serious consequence just for your life to be taken by your father. He'd still be alive if he was behind bars...karma...just saying 🤷🏻♀️
@@angelabuchan9872 uhm… AM was no where near that boat the night of the accident.
@@angelabuchan9872 Sorry?? No, it certainly was not Alex, it was Paul and his friends on the boat! I don’t know how you’d think it was Alex ?
2 people just hanging out in the back seat?
To me personally i think the most damning thing is he’s getting someone else to tell Maggies parents. He knew there was no way he could fool them face to face
I definitely get your point, but I really do think he believed he could fool everybody and that it was just for show.
Look how he keeps watching them from the corner of his eye, for their reactions to him, and his awareness of the camera. If you’ve ever suddenly lost someone you know you’re hysterical or in shock. Plus the distancing language he uses, “my boy” not Paul. On the call it’s “my child”, not Paul. Why would he touch Paul’s cellphone, before even checking MM? THEN he compliments the 911 dispatcher??? REALLY? Wow.
I think he touched that phone...cause of the video the son took minutes before the murders that has the dads voice heard in the background he was trying to delete it my opinion though, when the father stated he was not there...suspicious as...
I get so hysterical, I can’t breathe and can’t make words.
I agree about the camera and watching them. Not the distancing thing because my boy is different than the boy.
He’s so capable of blabbing forever. Wtf. I’d be surrounded by paramedics if I’d seen my family like that. He’s suspicious as F and creepy.
What are you talking about ?
Not every body grief the same , do you have to cry?
He tried to do something with the kids cell phone? His son is laying there with brains everywhere and his first instinct is to do something with the cell phone?
Stopped himself too.
I think he meant he was trying to call 911, but couldn't, likely due to a passcode
Well now we know
Paul was recording a Snapchat video
He probably tried to erase it
He has answers to every question like he is very prepared even when grabbing the phone from his pocket he was full of energy. If you witnessed your loved ones murdered shouldn’t you be a bit zone out or out of focus wherein you may have to ask the detective to repeat the question and feel weak when doing or grabbing something?
Good observation.
The police officer apologized for having to ask him questions. AM isn’t in cuffs or at the police station. This is the definition of privilege and entitlement. A
M will pay for all his dirty deeds in life.
His demeanor changes so radically ion this interview!
Look at you detective you 👏
Why would anyone feel safe enough to call family members to join you if you just came upon two shot persons? Why’d he think it was safe?
I did I called my sister to come. I did pretty much all he did. Got a weapon. Check pulses got no blood on me and my emotions were about the same. Shock. The hysterics came the next day. He is also a opiate abuser. What do they do? Numb you
Because he knew the only murderer was the one he saw in the bathroom mirror.
Excellent point. If anyone found dead people your first reaction would be to run away thinking someone is still there with a gun that’s aiming at you. But he didn’t do that because he knew he was safe.
When my dad died I hit the roof and I kept going in and out of being hysterical and being calm. My problem is not his response but the evidence…that’s what gets me.
Anyone who is grieving will never be in the frame of mind to answer these many questions like this
This dude hasn't dropped not one tear down his face!
😤
😡
Lol .... that's untrue.
Lol, it'll be ok.. just breathe slowly
😁
He's more upset about the sunflowers dying than he is about his wife and son.
Surely he’d be shivering in shock?
Even allowing for differences in responding to tragedy, how different people grieve, etc., his actions during this interview are indeed odd. I assume he’s never before seen a stranger’s brain blown out much less a loved one’s. Yet his thoughts are organized, clear, and seemingly not affected by shock or trauma.
I’ve seen (and through my own experience) that you can be grieving one moment and in tears, and then for another moment you can be relatively composed and talk coherently, but then another crying jag takes over as you’re hit with reality, and you can’t form or speak a clear thought or sentence. But overall the trauma makes your thoughts disjointed and memory foggy or muddled.
He answered the detective’s questions, but then he would carefully watch the detective as he wrote down the answers as if he were trying to gauge if the detective believed him or not. Then he would get a distant, far-off look in his eyes as if he were reviewing his responses in his mind to see if they sounded truthful.
I thought his shirt looked awfully clean, unwrinkled, and fresh for someone who wore it during a drive to see his mother, back again to his house, out to the kennels where he found his wife and son, tried to find a pulse for them, and then called 911, went back up to the house to get his gun and go back to the scene. All during a hot, steamy, rainy night in the South. His shirt was barely crumpled.
They're not odd, they're human!
Very good observation!
Who else knew Maggie and Paul were at the kennels besides Alex? If the answer is “no one” then the identity of the killer should be obvious
Not only that but Maggie was lured to the kennels by a text from Alex. She wasn’t even going to be there that night. No idea about Paul.
The prosecutor/AG said Maggie was swatted. She was invited to the kennel so she could be killed. We are going to find out that Maggie's friend received a text from Maggie that night saying Alex had asked her to come to the kennel property and Maggie told her friend that she didn't trust him. She's dead now.
Literally. No one knew where tf they were that night.
@@cestmoifu1406 …..well Maggie was somewhere talking to a friend on the phone as Alex as texting her to meet him at the dog kennels. She thought it was odd and mentioned it to her friend. She must not have been fearful though. So, her friend knew but was not a person of interest. Other than that…..just Alex. No idea if Paul knew or not.
@@WyattRyeSway Maggie said to her friend that she didn't trust Alex, meaning, him inviting her over that night was odd and not normal.
There's no bobbing now... You can honestly see him start to relax when he thinks this investigation is going to go the way he's leading them.
When he is asked “what made you come out here tonight?” Way too much detail
Why are they in a CAR and not a room? Wth?
Everyone reacts differently, so you can't judge someone for crying or not crying after a tragedy. However, it's suspicious if someone seems to rapidly switch emotional gears during the conversation. Murdaugh goes from making sobbing noises (without producing any visible tears) to talking more or less normally. He's talking the most normally when he's answering detailed questions where he has to think. Faking emotion takes mental energy. He seems to drop the performance when he's reciting the details of his story. And then he's right back to making sobbing noises.
It seems this "everyone acts differently after a tragedy" is really just an excuse for the guilty. I have never experienced this lack of true emotions in real life.
agree Kerri Rogers, if you don't cry or show true shock and sadness then you are indifferent to what happened.I would be in pieces for the rest of my life. yes, I would function but my heart would be forever broken...
Yes, I zoomed in and saw no tears.
I realize, everyone emotes differently, but he’s wiping his eyes when there are no tears. Odd.
My father and brother didn't die horrible deaths but when they died, I didn't cry. Weeks later, for both their deaths, I cried a lot. Got severely depressed
When your Wife and Son have been butchered in Cold blood you would be inconsolable , this guy is a fake !
Wife and youngest son - just found, brutally murdered on their home property by an unknown gunman (or two). Wouldn’t you fear for the safety of your remaining child, and advise him _not_ to come home (it’s a large property, and the crime scene technicians are working on only a relatively small portion of it), but to lodge with friends or at a hotel?
Good point!
Yeah, there could be a crazy sniper out there and our family is his target. Geez, the blood curdling sheer fear! STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!!!
Exactly! Zero concern for his remaining family... seems very odd given the situation.
I have found it astounding that Buster wasn't even among the first people he called. He called Paul's friend Rogan before even calling his son to tell him that his mother and brother were dead.
@@pagelogsdon5574 Yes! That was so telling. Had to get the lawyers and those that could help him build/protect his narrative in action before he had time/capacity to touch base with Buster… and still not for Buster’s safety. Fascinating and horrifying.
He’s overly concerned with the groundskeeper killing the sunflowers but he killed his wife and son….
His reaction to the card handed to him is priceless. Trying his best to act his way out of being a suspect with little success
3:29… why would he grab your sons phone, and “do something with it”When it fell out of his pocket?
He's such a faker.
He keeps "sniffling" but not one tear!
As crazy as it seems, I think his tears for their deaths are real. But he still made the decision that saving his own life was more important than their lives. Horrible...
Where you see tears?!! Zoom in and tell me what you see!!🙄
Who rubs their eyes to check for tears. Twice
No innocent loving husband/father who just witnessed what this man did, would even be able to speak coherently at this point.
Cause you’d know
@@LA67895 that would be correct...
@@LA67895 don't you know it's the internet? Apparently everyone everywhere has been through everything and knows exactly what they'd do in every situation🤣
@@boofman0486 just one of the advantages of the internet....
Found my boyfriend deceased on the bathroom floor in 2017. I knocked on the door, called his name a few times and already had a sick, dreaded feeling.. I went to find something to unlock the door, found him in fetal position on the floor, work in healthcare so knew he had been deceased for a few hours just by looking at him. I shut the door, called 911 and refused to do CPR because I knew, it had been to far along to be of any help, just more traumatic for me. They rushed into my house and started to work on him, he was only 36 years old. Because it was unexpected it was a crime scene, where me and my children had to leave the house. Looking back at that day I probably looked very suspicious, I didn't cry, I got the kids ready for school and walked through the back of the house and out the door, out of site of what was taking place... Called out of work and dropped the kids off at school... Drove to the hospital, where they had brought him because they had said he was in Cardiac arrest.. I knew that wasn't true.. he was gone. The cops spoke to me and one said, we need to go back to the house and take photos, ya know.. in case you put something in his Cheerios... I remember the doctor coming into the family room to tell me he had been deceased hours before arriving at the hospital, nothing they could do. It's so hard to say, although I can admit saying he was dead or explaining details was always dreadful.. I hated the word dead, or died. Denial maybe? We definitely don't know how Well process something until that day God forbid comes.
😪😪
Thanks for this comment. It just goes to show all ppl react to trauma differently. Murdaugh’s lack of emotion doesn’t necessarily equate guilt. It could be shock or denial. It’s always frustrating that so many ppl think everyone needs to act as they would act and if they don’t, they’re guilty. It’s not fair. There’s as much lack of evidence that points to Alex as there is evidence. Where’s the blood spatter? GSR? He used 2 guns in such little time? Now he could’ve maybe wore some protection from blood and matter splatter and like washed his hands, and he coulda used 2 guns to throw off investigators, but they need to show how cuz of the unlikeliness. They can’t focus on his demeanor. This is a riveting case. I’m not sure if he did it or not.
HE HONESTLY MIGHT HAVE JUST ACCEPTED THE " L" AS A COPING MECHANISM. SHOCK IS SHOCK.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You were in genuine shock. He is not in shock he knows exactly what he's doing. Giving reasons for DNA, looking at them to see their reactions as he lies. Again I am sorry for your loss 🤍
I am so deeply sorry for your loss. So sorry 😞 💔 🫂
27:26 even in time of a supposed crises it’s about him, water, gum, who would be able to think about gum in a time like this! Raging sociopath
I note when speaking of his wife he says we had, she had. When he speaks of Paul he says he is, he has.
He could be crying by realising he had just done such a horrific act to his own family.
I agree
There’s no tears so I wouldn’t call it crying
well there's no actual tears so he's fake crying
@@cupcakesister5629 Tears are no special measure. They are easily faked.
@@sashachitownvillegas6850 Where is your proof it is fake?
I find it hard to believe that he would turn over his son's body knowing his brain was on the ground then picked up his phone and tried to do something with it. Sounds like he was putting into place a reason why his DNA and or prints would be on the phone.
Providing a motive immediately.
I don't believe him..Not one word.
Me neither. And mind you not a drop of blood on him, his shoes, his hands...it's a shame there is no video that shows what he was wearing when he arrived to visit his mother...this is all so strange...
Who knows what anyone would do in a situation of utter shock? This is a loved one dead. It's natural impulse to want to touch them and turn them, even embrace the body. They're in disbelief!
@@A.Walker. and not getting one single solitary drop of blood on you?
💯
@@fernandaolivares7926 Not sure if you have heard the nurse that cared for Alex’s mother statement on what he was wearing that night he arrived. She stated shorts, T-shirt and material like shoes.
Just looking at him. You couldn’t tell he just lost half his family!!!! It’s just crazy. Just seeing this! Ain’t no way the jury ain’t thinking he sus!
What a sicko. How can he put such an act??? There's no way any normal person after seeing their loved ones murdered be able to speak so quickly and nonchalantly... My Lord... have mercy.
Greed is just sickoooooo
Eyes are the windows to the soul. One look into his dead eyes and that's all the evidence I needed to know. GUILTY
You know nothing
Just having a normal conversation all calm when you should be in the ER having a total nervous breakdown from shock and grief.
I don't consider it normal to go to ER in this situation though
Can I add… the older son Buster’s friend was found dead several years ago. Unexplained circumstances?! Paul got bearly a slap on the hand over the death of that young lady on his boat. Which,Alex, didn’t mention during first questioning. He did talk about it initially. Although I don’t think it’s all come to a head yet. And as you all mentioned the cleaning lady and her family!
This is the first I've heard of Busters friend, can you provide a name and any details? I've been heavily researching this case for over a year now and this is something I've never seen mentioned. Tia 😊
@@tarotmafia His name is Stephen Smith! The case is being investigated but no ties to the Murdaugh family as yet. Just so strange that these folks are involved in so many tragedies and such deceit.
Why would he be focused on Paul's phone when he turned him over, seeing his brains everywhere. His phone? Really!
If you found your loved ones brutally shot to death. You wouldn’t think to touch them “limitedly”
And the dispatcher was “very good” 🤦♀️
One thing you have to give to guys like this and Chris Watts is that they are cowards to the very end!!!
Great live trial along with commentary Uncivil Law... just found it!
25:41 “What time was what?!” Very telling
For all those people who say he is acting. He well could be but drawing on my own experience when my father killed himself, I was in complete shock and to my own surprise tears were not an immediate reaction at all. It was panic , shock, numbness, fight or flight kind of emotions. Grief and pain came later and still are a big part of life now.
I’m sorry for your loss…. Were you calm like this and talking non stop and very coherent and not angry?
@@VerifiedVegan It's a bit of a blur thinking back but I remember being calmer than my spouse and telling him to get his act together and talking to people without breaking down. I guess it's different for everyone. The days following were much harder than the day itself. I have to admit though he is quite talketive/over sharing for what he just experienced.
I went through something similar and did so many similar things. I checked pulses got no blood on me. My emotions were about the same. Shock. Hysterics didn't come till next or maybe the day after. I left them after checking their pulses. The smell the sight I couldn't bear it. I left left them armed myself and waited for the police .. watching him I feel bad because I was there once and see nothing at all suspect about his behavior. But it's easy to judge something in something you can't fathom
Perfectly normal reaction. Some people become hysterical and some people start microfocusing on logical things like who do I call, what stuff do you need to do when someone dies, calling everyone to notify them of the death, planning the funeral, etc. Remember being a teenager at a good friend’s father’s funeral reception or the visitation and him asking if we were all having a good time. Family is often going through the motions on autopilot for the first few days or week making sure the funeral goes ahead like the person would want it, greeting people and coordinating with family, obituary, having family over, etc. If you love your family prepay for your funeral and buy a plot or arrange the cremation. Even stating your wishes about your funeral also helps out a family a lot and comforts them knowing you got the funeral you wanted.
When I got called about my husband dying suddenly and unexpectedly, I immediately asked 'What will I do with his truck?' and went into go mode to prepare for what was next. It's how I am in a crisis.
That said, I don't know how that guy is in these situations.
Yeah, this guy isn't upset at all. He's more focused on concocting the details in his story.
22:56 ... answering the question about does Maggie usually feed the dogs this late at night ... his answer was it wasn't unusual 'she played with the dogs every' long pause because he did not want to say she played with the dogs every day ... he stopped to choose his words to fit the scene and says plays with the dogs all the time. And he admitted Maggie hadn't been there for awhile ... so after not being there for awhile why are they out at the dog kennel late at night like that ... supports the claim that Alex coerced them to meet him at the kennel.
crying and not single teardrop on his face 😭😭😭😭
Just wow… how easily he speaks of them in them past tense immediately after their death. I lost my 22 year old brother to murder ..and it took me a very long time to refer to him like that.
He kind of switches from present to past during several times during the interview...still too composed and not one single tear.
"I tried to touch them as little as i could"...spoken like someone who prepped his lines..for forensic sake
The fact he turned one of the body's over,and his body language when sharing that information is very strange!
