Buster is stoic, he probably was taught never to cry in public. Alex is the same way, when he gets choked up in phone calls, he quickly ends the call or changes topics. Poor guy, he’s really a third victim of his father, he just wasn’t killed and in some ways, it’s worse. His pain will be lifelong.
imo hes a good kid with a bad family......I think he ll be ok
Alec has mastered crocodile tears to a T .Buster is under alot of overwhelming stress .
Some of us have that cut off switch
I have to say the men I’ve worked with from the Carolinas were all like this guy.
Also yea, I find his calm unwavering voice through the tears and red face to be indicative of a controlled person. Probably raised to be that way.
Why does sled think a car is a good place to question people? I find that extremely odd.
The acoustics are pretty good
Plus easy audio/video
So strange.
so they aren’t at police station due to murdaugh reputation and wealth.
It’s the country and people ride around land and when telling how events unfold, you can’t just _point over there_ when driving the property for evidence and interrogation at the same time = tax money at work
Such a polite and well spoken young man. He didn’t deserve any of this horror.
No one deserved Alex.
absolutely 💯
I pray that the media is responsible for even more pain especially in a small town gossip is the very thing that lives on .
I railed against those documentaries and the death of Steven and the irresponsibility of slander.
@vickierose612 THIS!!! I am appalled at the way the media has slandered him and pretty much condemned him without any evidence at all! And all the people who still talk trash about him even after Stephen Smiths family has come out publicly and said they do not believe Buster has anything to do with Stephen's death.
His daddy was sweet and well spoken too you goofballs.
@@user-nd5ud7bh3jMy PaPa was a rolling stone .
He’s in shock.!!!! He was crying through the interview. He is trying to not cry because obviously that was a sign of weaknesss within their family! People are so mean and such haters sometimes!!! Be nice people it costs you nothing!
The date stamp says 6th October 2021? Four months after the murders?
@@frockabyebabyshabbychic26116/10 is June 10 in the US...
@@frockabyebabyshabbychic2611Actually, the date is 6/10/2021
Days after the murder
Exactly!!! Being nice costs nothing!! I find these comments Ironic. The people making them are no longer used to males who don’t cry like a baby when they have to work hard, nor do they know what being respectful looks like. They are however the first ones to blame a school shooting on bullies. Yet here they are, being bullies… like I said, IRONIC!!
@@frockabyebabyshabbychic2611🤯
Poor young man lost his entire family because of his greedy, deranged father. It broke my heart when he said he talks to his mom multiple times a day. I hope he is surrounded by caring people
He’s not out of the woods either
He lost his mother, brother and paternal grandfather within days of each other.
I don't see how Buster doesn't ask about what the cops know and if there is any risk to him. How could he not be extremely concerned with his own safety? As far as he knows at this point is there are a couple of assassins running around that just murdered his mom and brother. I would be grilling the cops and demanding answers.
Buster made it clear to the cops that, while him and his brother (especially his brother after the boat accident), may have had haters, he does not have any reason to believe that, any of that hate could have amounted to this. He is also clear that, his mum had no haters. So why should he be afraid?? He is just dumbfounded as to what just took place and so far cannot imagine anybody doing this. Being afraid means you believe that an enemy is out there targeting you or your family which he clearly stated he never thought so. Alex was the only person spurning that theory yet showed no sign of panic both for himself nor for Buster
He must have a good understanding of his family's dynamics. Too calm and collected IMO. A huge red flag.
he was extremely concerned for his own safety and goes into the detail of that when hes giving evidence
And, as the video continues, if you look, you will see he is wiping his eyes, and a few times when he moves his head, you see the bottoms of his eyes and they are red, at one point, there are tears on his lashes at the same time.
@@laikaevelyn4478 well said
Owe Buster an apology, he chews on his middle finger as a nervous habit. We thought he was flipping the finger during trial.
It’s probably a low key habit he & Paul both shared & began as youngsters & flipping his parents off?!
Five spaces is crazy.
My heart feels heavy for this young man. May he find peace and healing as he goes through life with these heavy burdens. I wish society would show compassion.
When have Americans ever shown compassion?
@zazasnruntz7505 so All Americans are heart less. Cuz you've met ALL Americans. Got it 🙄😒. I'm sure your country is united and everybody holds hands. Your country of politicians, government etc. Isn't corrupt. Only good people in your country huh? Go away you vermon. If we're so horrible then mind your own business and stay in your country where everything is puppy dogs and rainbows. Troglodyte!!
Stephen Smith
Why?
@@zazasnruntz7505you have a naive and twisted view of reality dude
I first didn’t care too much for Buster (not that my opinion matters in his life), but then as time has gone by, I’ve realized just what this poor man must be going through on top of dealing with the loss of his entire family. My heart does go out to him and I do hope he will be able to be happy in life. ❤
I agree. He only knows what he is taught. He is similar to his dad with the lack of emotions that men aren't supposed to show. My own brother does this to his 4 kids. They are told to grow up, knock it off, shake it off. No emotions allowed. His son, my nephew, turned to drugs and it was all hush hush. No one was to know. Well when he didn't show up for his 33 birthday dinner with the so called family, my brother went to his apartment and found him dead of an OD. The lack of support is what hurt that child.
I mean, if he was indeed somehow involved in the murder of Stephen Smith, then your favorable opinion of him may be misguided.
He also allegedly murdered someone lmao. Read up
Narcissism is unfortunately inherited.
@@jwill294 haha, actually I believe I may be a little further ahead on the reading. In fact that’s when my opinion of him began to change, when it was discovered he was NOT involved in Stephen’s murder after all (two other suspects are now in the hot seat, read up). I had written something about this but my statement began to get too long so I shortened it by deleting that part. I suppose I should’ve known better. 💁🏻♀️ But to be completely fair, There’s no doubt Stephen Smith’s murder was a senseless, evil tragedy and whoever killed him needs to pay for it. So if Buster was ever charged for having any part in it, it would certainly effect my more favorable opinion of him. Otherwise, he can’t help which family he’s born into, and yes he cheated in school, but so what? He’s paying for that ever since he was kicked out of school for it. Besides, this didn’t hurt anyone else, but himself. I mostly feel pity for him now, but short of him being involved in Stephen Smith’s murder, I hope he finds a way to be happy in life. 🤷🏻♀️
I can't help but feel sorry for this young man. He has lost his entire family. He is not to blame for the sins of his father.
Leave this boy alone Leave him Alone
@@charlottebarnes6761 He wasn't saying anything bad
Thank you for saying this. I feel the same way. Buster is an innocent victim his life has been turned upside down. He’s lost his entire nuclear family
Im sorry but like father like son. He knows something.
Stephen Smith
Just would like to say it’s super easy to say what you’d do in a situation you’ve never experienced/you’re not in. Can’t imagine my life changing overnight to this degree. Your mom, dad and brother are gone. You can’t grieve in peace because you’re constantly being questioned. Can’t do too much, can’t do to little.. everyone is hypercritical of every single thing you do. Hope he finds peace.
I think i would have a nervous breakdown. He most probably dissociated from the reality of what has happened to survive. In that state, you either don't act or you overreact. Nothing you do after dissociation is normal. If it was normal, I would worry about your character.
I feel so bad for Buster. Ppl need to let him be. 🤍🕊️🤍🕊️
@@toribern816 lmfao poor buster ????
You are a great person. Thank you for your kind words. I wish everyone was like you. ❤
Nahh, I dont think most of us have the mindset, after loosing loved ones to sudden death, especially murder, to decide how much emotion or not to display. Even during interrigation. He comes across as very unaffected. Doesnt mean someone has guilty knowledge. But far out he's lost his mother, his little bro and his dad.
I feel like this man is trying his best to cope with this craziness. I believe he knows his Dad did this but just can't bring himself to be totally honest with himself about the facts.I completely understand why he loves his family loves his Dad. I pray he will be able to have a good life. I don't know how someone gets past this. RIP
It's probably worse because his dad is the only one alive now.
@EMILYHERRERA he would never rat out his own father. Speaking as a son my father and I havnt always had best relationship, but there is no circumstance I would outright tell the police or detectives anything that could potentially put away my pops for life. If they figure out... clues evidence whatever else oh well but they wouldn't get it from me
@@JC-di4uzthen you have a useless soul.
Agree so much. I was quick to condemn Buster, but , like we all should do, the more I read and learn the more I just feel back for this kid. I can't imagine losing my entire family in minutes, and left alone in this crazy world. Hoping for the best for him
@@JC-di4uz I hear you, but..even if he blew away your mom and brother with a shotgun?
I was hoping to see this at some point. Thanks, L&C! You are always on point
Surprised it wasn’t another video shaming woman in the spotlight like they have been.
@@ChiBrianXIII You have a point. There have been a lot of unhinged females - surely there are just as many crazy men out there!
With Buster his body language is where you pick up on his anxiety.
Buster lived almost 4 hours away and think he distanced himself from his family for a reason
Bingo. This is what I’ve been saying! People think he was super close with them all still and I’m not seeing that. He was 25 when the murders happened. Paul was 22. But there was a big difference between them… Paul was much, much closer with the family still. He wasn’t ambitious, had no real plans for his life beyond caring for Moselle. And he had a huge problem with alcoholism that had resulted in him accidentally killed a girl while drunk when he was 19, and even then he didn’t stop drinking, he was never gonna stop and Alex would’ve seen Paul as a failure. He was 22 and despite having Dad pay for his own apartment, it’s obvious Paul was like a teenager at home still. Whereas Buster got out of Hampton as soon as he graduated HS and had been living several hours away from his family for 8 years by the time of the murders. I agree that there’s a reason Buster got outta there. And I also don’t think he saw nearly as much of his dad’s scary side, as Paul and Maggie would’ve seen in those last 2 years before Alex killed them. Sure they’d meet up for social events but Buster wasn’t there with them at night when it was just the family… I truly don’t believe he knew just how bad things had been between his Mom and Dad. I don’t think anyone really knew. Maggie was completely isolated, no best friend, no one to confide in but her sister whom she was also competing with, trying to prove she had the better marriage. So she had no one to turn to when things with Alex got really bad. No one could speak up for her and say what was really happening between her and Alex when their friends weren’t there. Except maybe Paul but he was killed too. Just makes me sad that Maggie had no one.
@@amye8475 You're wrong. She had Bianca.
He went off to college and to a big town to get a job. Stop speculating.
What a terrible unimaginable situation this is for this young man. I cannot imagine what he has been through. He is obviously an intelligent person, and he handles this better than most. I wouldn’t dare try to judge anything about any of his responses. Bless his heart.
Is it standard protocol in the low country to interview murder victims families in vehicles?
lol I was wondering the exact same thing bc they did the same with Alex ha
Apparently so😅
In the low country or whatever tf they call that place, buildings with rooms are considered one of them uppity yankee things
If you're part of the prestigious Murdaugh family, apparently you receive all kinds of perks & preferential treatment, unlike common folk
He is just like his Father. Same manner of speech. Same mannerisms. Creepy in my opinion.
People say he's not showing emotion, as far as a southern gentleman goes, he's very emotional. He's in a state of disbelief. Shocked and disgusted with is father ~
That’s what it looks likes
seems like he is in shock
It's super crazy that people had to see with their own eyes that he's a human being.... because apparently having been a human being this entire time wasn't enough for people 🤦🏻♀️
Sorry. He knew about the previous crimes. He’s no innocent here.
Thank you social media/internet for making everyone know it all narcissists. Yes, my comment sounds the same.
@@johnstoner666Right, they’ll judge people just based off rumors. If the rumors had evidence, then that’s not wrong to go off of, but to go off of something baseless is just ignorant.
@@shannontreiber1070I agree. Wasn't he allegedly involved in the murder of that young man, Steven? The boy found dead near his home late at night. The case remains unsolved.
@@shannontreiber1070really? Then why did even Stephen Smith’s family now rule him out?
I feel so badly for this young man. My thoughts and prayers are with him every single day.
A lot of people say they feel bad for Buster, but I think he knows things. What happened to Stephen Smith? What happened to the housekeeper? Maybe Buster didn't actually commit any crimes himself, but he could give the victims' families some closer. There are still too many unanswered questions.
I truly don't believe he did or knows firsthand what happened to SS. I'm sure he "knows" from hearing the inside gossip in Hampton, but I highly doubt he has any clue otherwise. Regarding GS, I'm sure Paul told him what he thinks could've taken place, but Buster had been away at college for a long time, and I doubt his family had many conversations about her when he would talk to his mom several times a day.
I’m pretty sure his father did that behind his back.
I agree with you. He's a little too calm...I mean - come on...when you consider what just happened? I believe he knows about Stephen Smith, at least. The way he keeps on "yes SIR" is sycophantic...it's exactly how his Dad acts with authorities...innocent people aren't so careful to cowtow to cops.
I don't understand why so many people are determined to believe Buster had something to do with Stephen Smith's death. What evidence is there to lead to that belief?
Exactly! Buster knows things.
very well-spoken young dude so sad man
I hate the way the media went after buster and random people on social media. Accusing someone of murder with zero substantive evidence is wild. This kid just lost his mom, dad and brother and had to be demonized on a crazy level as well. I feel so bad for him
My heart breaks for Buster. First he lost his entire immediate family then he was falsely accused of a murder just because his dad is a bad dude.
Have you listened to any jail calls?
Buster and Paul's names have been thrown around for years befoe the murders with having involvement with Stephen's death.
@@lauramcdonald5691 I have and he appears to me to despise his dad....jmo
I think the rumours of buster being involved in stephens death came before maggie and paul were killed
Nope!…no pity here!…He knows everything!..just follows the Murdaugh script!..
I’m surprised I haven’t seen these videos before now! Thanks for sharing!!
I hope that Buster is getting help, emotionally.
U think he still talk to his dad?
Nope
I allowed the gossip and media to form my opinion of this kiddo early on, but thankfully I watched and read and formed my own opinion after time went by. This is a solid kid, terrible situation, lost his entire family, and is still here to pick up the pieces and make something decent of the rest of his life alone. He's a good kid. Praying for him. I think he will be ok though. I'm ashamed for judging so early on. Hoping for the best
How do you know he's a solid dude??
Very painful to listen to let alone watch. My heart breaks for this young man. I pray he is finding peace.
It’s funny how ppl attacked him and nitpicked everything he did. Said he was having a homosexual affair, murdered a kid.. ppl are disgusting, this was right after he was thrown into the spotlight when his brother and mom were slaughtered . Doing your own research from multiple sources and forming your own opinion is the only way it should be.. don’t put titles on ppl unless it’s proven.
You aren't the only one who judged him too early. A lot of people did, including me. We have a tendency to believe what we hear in the media and then there was the documentary. I finally took a step back when Stephen Smiths family spoke out publicly and said they did not believe for a second that Buster had anything to do with Stephen's death. I too felt ashamed of myself.
It was easy to assume he might be a bad egg because his father and brother seemed to be.
Buster looks lost. He must have a million thoughts going thru his head. His father doesn't deserve buster to stand by him. He's taken his whole family down by his actions. Thoughts go out to everyone affected by A. M"s evil crimes. .
Alec didn't call Buster right away because he knew Buster wasn't in danger..... because Alec is the killer.
I feel for this boy so much, what he has had to endure nobody should have to go through
Imagine ur mom & bro being killed & ur dad doesnt call ur 1st to warn u of a killer but to find out ur dad was the killer & thief of those unfortunate. LOVE is worth living for not $$.💜🙏💜
Try using English, my friend
Buster killed his mother seconds after his father killed Paul.
@@YourNightmare4u2c??
This came to you by "Divine Revelation," I suppose.
@@YourNightmare4u2c What reality of alternate facts did you get this from?
Poor guy. Regardless this had to be horrible. He does show emotion when asked about who would wanna harm his mother. He cried. Come on people. Watch it all before commenting
Stephen Smith
@@notlana983 There is absolutely nothing tying Buster to Stephen Smith, as far as we know from evidence, this young man is a victim of his father who killed his mother and brother. Have a heart
Plus, Stephen Smith led a very high risk lifestyle, sleeping with married men for money, he was a hooker, it could have been anyone!
Thank you for this
He seems so calm... like another day at the office... he does not act upset....
Well, if it were most people who had a good doctor or a good friend, they'd have had a valium by now.
He's a Murdaugh
I'm curious if he was raised to surpress his emotions in public because the family had an image to maintain around town. Maybe he was just numb and in shock but he is a bit odd. The angle is killing me though!
Everyone grieves differently, but literally 3 days after this horrific event and nothing. Just weird IMO
This guy was raised by attorneys, usually attorneys are great at being emotionless regardless of how traumatic a situation is. He was a law student as well
He was raised in the South. Men are supposed to be MEN!!! Not squall and bawl about everything. They are supposed to be strong Leaders. He wept silently several times, hence wiping his face and eyes so much. He is an adult and is supposed to behave like one. Which he did. Plus he was still in shock!! Who wouldn’t be??? How do you all think he was supposed to behave?? Pound the windows with the his fists, kick the dash with his feet?? Be as high as a kite on drugs because he has no coping skills?? Call the people asking the questions Mother effers, if he had to answer a question he didn’t like?? I’m starting to think that would have been fine with some of y’all, since a whole lot of our males these days… oh never mind. God help this Country if we ever have to implement the draft again, and at the pace ole poopy pants is leading us to war, that is exactly what is going to happen and we will be so screwed!!! We already are screwed, we will be destroyed!!!
Well trained in covering up truth and reality😮😮
Wow, he kept his composure. It could be years later and I wouldn’t be able to get through a sentence without crying. Its been 14 yrs since my nephew was murdered and I still cry whenever I think or talk about it.
Raised by multi generational lawyers
So he by osmosis knows how to conduct himself. Poor young man always a shadow following him.
This was days after the event all people act/react differently depending on many factors like how they were raised etc. idk how I would react I wouldn’t know how to
@@janice5218 i agree. I think this kid has lost everything including his reputation and has been falsely accused of the Smith murder after losing his mother, brother, and father. Also, the realization that your own father was responsible for all of it.
Not during the trial either. Not a single tear.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your nephew . It hurts losing someone but when another takes their life it brings so much more anguish . My granddaughter and unborn child we're killed when her bf in a fit of rage jerked her steering wheel .She was only 18 .My heart is forever broken . I understand how people are different but fresh out 3 days from losing his mom and brother how he could hold such composure . Grief is hard to push back . I was and still am like you 6 years later that I choke up or tears will fall over their deaths.
I think he wad in shock and probably knew his dad may have had something to do with it.
Buster was raised by a lawyer, in a family of lawyers...and family secrets. He had studied to become a lawyer himself. He is also represented by a lawyer here. He was no doubt coached prior to this questioning and was made aware he could possibly be a suspect. He knows the investigators aren't going to divulge info to him at this point.
what if he was prepped? most americans can’t comprehend this type of wealth-to me he’s in extreme shock and denial regarding his losses…he’s extremely well educated and well mannered. i guess that means he knew “something “.🤔😳🙄🙄
I was thinking the same thing. Lawyers are trained to be in control of their emotions. I on other hand would have lost it 😢
And ?
I believe he is lying about a few things but if he wasn't there then he wasn't there, his dad is a dead man walking and something tells me the whole family knew pops was gunna get popped or locked up.
@@redlightgreenlightasmr8282 my only thing is.. on original video of paul’s.. u actually hear 5 voices.. and paul literally says “ buster “. i can’t get it out of my head
If y’all listen to he & his dad’s jail calls you’ll hear the same calm demeanor.
Doesn’t seem like someone whose mom and brother were just murdered in cold blood… this is more like an interview for Kroger regional manager
Yes 😂😂
😂😂😂
Exactly!!
🤣
Factz
To those talking about him not crying or being emotional. I have a feeling he saw straight through his father for years and the family put up a certain facade in photos/presented to the outside world - it does not mean in the very least that they were truly close/emotionally intertwined just bc they have photos together that give an appearance that they are. He probably thought Paul was a twerp and as for not weeping over his mother in the interview - A) he is Alex’s son, so emotionally, he’s likely somewhat stunted like his father, B) those boys were allowed to run wild from a very early age/didn’t have to rely on either parent for much at all, so I’m guessing there was a lack of bond with Maggie. He’s also grown up in a family of lawyers, he knows how to conduct himself in this setting, regardless of how he might be feeling emotionally.
It could also just be a form of shock as well. His system is just struggling to process what happened or it has processed the event and just doesn’t know what to do. In a numb state of mind. He’s just kinda there and not at the same time
Great comment.
He's never waivered on supporting his dad and claiming there is a killer(s) out there that are NOT his dad. Saying this kid, his son, "saw through him for years" is pure projection. It's a lotttttt more complicated than we may ever know.
Yep! However, I find it strange he talks to his mom 2-3 times a day, everyday at his age without living at home?!
He appeared to be wiping away tears with his hand with his head down mid-interview.
Buster if you happen to see this, there are many out there who support you. Please know that. I’m sorry what happened to your mom and brother 🥺🙏🏻
There are some. I wouldn't say many.
Unfortunately the majority who don’t know half of what went on with this case are louder than the rest, but I’m glad to see people supporting him.
The female detective is annoying. She literally said she’s dying from coughing poor choice of words
He’s just as calm as his mother was when their maid was knocked down the stairs by the “dogs”…..
My heart goes out to him. He’s being judged on what his father has been accused of. So sad
He was dismissed from university due to plagiarism. That’s some performance of honesty right there, doncha think?
I’ll be curious of the outcome on the investigation of Stephen Smith’s death, whom the whole family called a f@gott.
Very sad. I hope this young man is not held responsible for the crimes of his father
Kind of happened already, selling the items of the family.
I pray that Buster will recover 100%, as well for his entire family
I don't know how Buster could be so calm, after his mom and brother was murdered!
MY wish for Busta is that hopefully, he found Peace and Happiness in his future. My heart goes out to him and so very sorry for him tremendous loss. Praying for healing .😢
I disagree with all the comments about his demeanor. He seems genuinely stressed and confused and sad. My brother was murdered and i had a simar reaction i did not cry at his funeral. Didn’t hit me until years later. Tears don’t always indicate sincerity.
It's hard when people start judging everyone on their outward reaction to grief when many of us have experienced it to varying degrees, and we know there is no one way to react, and that grief is strange and confusing. Our psyches try to protect us, and detachment, denial, shock, and disassociation are so extremely common, even when people lose their own children. The overwhelming denial of human emotions and judgement is just whack. It's not real. It's not fair either. It has nothing to do with this guy Buster, it's about humanity and the range of normal human experiences and expressions. The cycle of grief is easy to Google with denial & disbelief being right at the top.
I agree with you his body language is totally stressed to the max trying to hold it all together. Rubbing his face biting his nails definitely stressed holding his emotions together.
Seems to me like he’s in shock. I don’t think anyone would know how they would react unless they were in the situation. I can’t even wrap my brain around it.
Buster should’ve told them the REAL reason he isn’t in school anymore 👀
Why? It doesn’t pertain to his mom and brother being murdered.
@@bia31187 it pertains to his father’s crimes.
No job in three years
Did Buster cheat in law school? I remember Alex calling Buster from jail and hinting to wanting to pay thousands to get Buster back in law school.
@@bbe3034 yep! Alex was trying to bribe the dean of UofSC law school to get him back in and Buster was right on board with that idea.
All these interviews being conducted in a car is strange to me.
This is so sad😢.
For people who are commenting on his demeanor, this is how educated upper middle class Southerners talk. They use manners to maintain neutrality. Unlike his dad, who uses gross intimate emotions all the time, it is not classy to show your emotions to strangers. ( think Downton Abbey) Buster is not going to pull that "Paul-Paul" bulshit.
He also speaks very formally. When he talked about Paul and the game he said “he informed me that he would not be there”. Growing up with lawyers type formal talk. Very short concise sentences. Also recounting how he was told of what happened, he said “…he proceeds to tell me…”. He talks like a lawyer (or writing an essay)
lol you know who also teach their kids not to show emotions? stone cold blood mafiosi. we'll see how far that " upper class southern talk" will take him.
Agree! Pronounced paw paw / pau pau
Yeah ok😅
Manners? Your joking
Not that im necessarily disagreeing with anyone here. But this could be shock. So to say how you would act is hard to say.
😳
I feel so bad for this young man. With that being said I have a feeling that hes going to be ok. Good luck to you Buster.....im pulling for ya man👍 RIP Maggie and Paul......both taken way to soon
Paul took an innocent girls life. No loss there.
Anyone will nitpick this interview. His father is in prison, mom and brother were murdered. So let’s rip apart the only innocent person left. What a nice society we live in. 🙄🖕🏼
That’s a horrible place to interview someone who’s mother and brother was just murdered - how ridiculous
Seems like thats Sleds goto for interviews...mobile interogation..
Yet he remained almost emotionless. He clearly had some kind of eye issue - an allergy or a scratch or something - but I could not even begin to sit in that spot to talk about my mom and brother being massacred.
@@Duchess8705I guarantee it was his lawyers request to have the interview in the car at his uncle’s house. If it were anyone else, they’d be at SLED HQ.
Buster chose to have it in the car because he rather not go to the station. They only give the option to certain ppl as it’s allowed but not preferred bc it gives the integrator a disadvantage and the suspect an advantage being in an relaxed environment.
@@dlh032766he cried and seemed emotional throughout this whole interview. Not sure what you're talking about.
When the investigator asked Buster what kind of weapons his brother has. Buster knew they bought a replacement blackout for his brother. But he left that out and didnt mention the blackout. Then he said that he thinks there were two shoothers.. Same as his dads excuise. Buster lied for his dad.....
No I think Alec lied for Buster!
He shows almost no emotion. I’ve never seen anything like it. He’s steps from where his brothers brain was exploded and his mothers last steps and he’s stoic and stone faced as the day is long.
I really think of all these family members, Buster is respectful, grounded, sensical and a bit spoiled if I’m being honest.
He just has gotten such a raw deal in this whole thing and is more mature about it than most of us could be. Way more than his Daddy. 😳
Wow.
To all the twits saying he's emotionless, his words and answers may be controlled and appear cold but his physical reactions are anything but. He's constantly rubbing or scratching every part of his head, his arms, his ears, ffs one part it looks like he's trying to gouge his eyes out. Tears are visibly seen running down when asked if he knew of any person who would want to harm her. Jayzuz he's just lost his entire family, his home, his security smh.
it’s his upbringing in wealth and education, manners, most americans can’t begin to comprehend. not only was this family wealthy but constantly had to have a “public appearance “. he’s definitely in shock 😢
His tears 😢 i feel for buster
Umm, if you were rubbing your eyes like that you'd have tears too. There's no change in his voice.
No one cares what you think and that’s why everyone is entitled to their own opinions on a comment section. Critical thinking is allowed
@@Nasdaqbabyyea his daddy and him were known for being raging alcoholics in town . Alex was also a pill head. Real composed classy people there lol😂
He seems to be in shock if I remember right he father referred to them in past tense buster talks as if they are alive .. buster was accused of flipping off one of the witnesses in court but it seems like he bites his nails the same way in this interview.i don’t believe he was flipping off anyone in the courtroom.
I didn't have a great opinion of buster since I seen the Netflix documentary and his father's trial. Now seeing this video and seeing him speak first hand my opinion has changed. I think he is legit as one could be. I don't see anything nefarious going on with him whatsoever. He seems he's being 100% honest.
Of course he is.. his Father did this not him. There is no way this kid had anything to do with it.
Exactly
@@tylerkay825if my mother and brother were just murdered i wouldn't take my lawyer with me to police interview.
He was definitely involved
@@CTU-JackBauer"definitely involved" you're definitely challenged.
@@CTU-JackBauer then you, sir, are uneducated about how this whole process works.
I just drove through this area yesterday and hearing all the towns is weird. They all have signs on I 95
What a strange interview and an even stranger demeanor
His nail biting and face rubbing are giving me second hand anxiety.
I believe he has eczema which is probably why he keeps rubbing and scratching.
@@bia31187 l rub my face when l am stressed and used to chronically bite my nails. I didn't know he had eczema.
Omg! Yessss😂
He seems exhausted
The ONLY thing running through my mind if I were in his shoes would be "it could have been me, but Paul was there."
Nahhh I don’t think it would’ve happened if buster was there the night of the murders. Alex plotted to kill Paul and Paul only but knew that Maggie could not live without Paul that was her baby boy so he killed her also. Alex mental motive was probably to get the heat off his family and himself. He didn’t want to deal with those lawsuits from MB family because he knew he’d have to pay them. So much more I could point out
Again an interview in a car... WTH
Wow great angle. The body language experts are gonna have a field day with this
Lol😅
Looks like one of them Bratz dolls😊
This cracked me up 😂
I opened the comments hoping that someone mentioned the awkward angle! Poor kid! His head looks 10x's bigger than his shoulders/body!
LMAOOOOO
Buster being from an affluent family, probably has had excessive pressures to achieve and having Alex Murdaugh as a Dad, experienced isolation from parents (both literal and emotional). That is why he probably doesn't show or express emotion publicly. I bet alone he really grieves. Leave him alone folks.
Why would you do an interview in a car? You can't see the face or the body language from the back seat or the driver's seat for that matter.
Why are all these interviews done in a car? Dont they have offices??
Safety and discretion. We don't know who the killers are so he is meeting at an undisclosed location. Like a drug deal.
Or the family is grieving and the police just went to talk to them at home as opposed to calling them into the police station at such a hard time, the cops need to get any potential information from them while it’s still fresh in their minds, I think the police are just being respectful

To add, until there’s footage of him and how he chose to express his emotions in private from the time of the murders leading up to this interview, you can’t really judge how he mourned the loss of his brother and mother or say that the guy isn’t hurting deep down. He was raised amongst southern attorneys. Just, IMO.
Absolutely agree
Usually hits ya, hard, when your first alone😢
Totally agree.
Stephen Smith
He was also raised in a very very conservative area. NC is a little more mixed whereas SC is just fully Red lol. "Toxic Masculinity" is real prominent in the southern gentlemens club.
The lack of emotion is so disturbing and this kid is clearly a sociopath if not will be
No they're psychopaths
Big difference
Tough to watch this interview now knowing what really happened with his dad’s theft, and pill popping, and lying about being at the scene of the crime!
1:08:52 asked if he knows of any reason someone wants to hurt his mother. He fought hard to hold it in but tear falls at around 1:09:20
He is still stuffing it, the funeral is the next day for his mom and brother …I wonder if he knows grandpa died or is dying on this very day.
You guys are hilarious hahah buster is evil
@@Jordonwilliamoakleyyou sound like the evil one. This poor young man lost his mother and brother.
Holy smokes! How did it take me this long to watch this??!!! TYSM for posting. Yayyy
I really feel for buster!! The poor kids lost his mother and brother at his father's hands and now doesn't have him either. Be alot to handle for anyone 💔
He most likely had something to do with it, I mean he just has no emotions what Soo ever about them dying at least I haven't seen any. And someone got rid of the guns for Alec which was prob buster.
This is just the beginning of poor Busters heartache. Feel so terrible for what he has to go through.
Lol yea ok. And the kid he killed too right?
NO POOR BUSTER HERE!…he knows everything …
because he didn’t do anything…..why would he be scared
He was not charged. So, I suppose you are another psychic.
@jeannelipham2583 be patient jts coming
Buster is a very strong young man. He held it together. i would be a mess 😢
I can’t believe this was three years ago
I've heard, the truth is easy to remember. Buster never faulted. Such a heavy Burden for this young man
The fact two members of the family were shot on the land, yet they all stayed there afterwards with no fear from anyone returning. Red flag there. Truth will come out one day
They stayed at Buster's Uncle's house after the murders.
Hard to not feel bad for this guy. Especially when you listen to the jail calls he was with his dad. Alex is still trying to be shady and Buster seemed over it. He lost his whole family 😢
He killed a kid.
@@Jamesgalc-gs8wu he didn't though.
Nope!
we don't know that and neither do you.
Did he, really? And you have proof of that, do you?
There are a few channels that posts the prison calls. The dad is constantly calling Buster….
My heart goes out to this man! I am so sorry for him. God help him. 🙏🏻
I find it interesting, the part where they question Buster about Alex saying that Paul had been receiving threats, alluding to a possible motive. Buster said he had only been aware of Paul having strangers talk junk to him when he was out on the town, not receiving threats in emails or texts, etc. I'd say that's slightly large in terms of Alex trying to point the finger at someone other than himself. All a moot point now that he's convicted but I had not seen this interview until today.
I’ve never really understood how he has always remained so calm. Like stone cold steel calm. Very actual factual no emotion.
I don’t think he suspected his father at this point. He had nothing to hide. Answered questions that were asked.
After listening to calls with his dad, I feel sorry for Buster. He seems so respectful.
Had this been released before ? Or is this new footage ? I can't recall seeing it.
Unreleased footage prior to this but it was three days after Maggie and Paul were killed.
I find Buster to be overwhelmed in this interview and totally believe his dads accounts of the event.
I also think its possible but only guessing that maybe he took a Valium or something during this time. I can't even fathom his grief today knowing his dad killed his family. I heard some calls from Alec to Buster and frankly i think buster knows for a fact that it was his dad that killed mom and Paul. I pray to Jesus that buster will be okay and people treat him as an individual and not group him as a whole.
Now how many ppl are treated with such humbleness and good ole boys privilege when being interviewed by LE. Apologies included.
He had a solid alibi and had just lost his mother and brother. He should have been treated well.
What a strange thing that these interviews are all in cars n not stations or offices! Just weird.
I think they’re being given special treatment because of their status. The police didn’t want to march them into a police station like ‘common’ persons of interest.
He’s fully cooperating and everything but it’s amazing how calm and relaxed he is. Everyone processes things differently but dude, your mom and brother just had their brains blown out, they’re not sure who did it and sounds like you’re describing having a cup of coffee.
Right!!
bro never heard of "shock"
It’s been a whirl wind. No time to process and that’s his personality. He bottles things up. He’s been pretty stoic during this whole process even during phone calls with his dad he keeps his emotions in check.
@@buzzin-hornet as if he wasnt gonna be rich anyways
How very repulsive of you!
Is it just me or does the audio keep cutting in and out.
Buster doesn't seem to be very upset when talking about his dead mother and brother.
May god continue to wrap his arms around you Buster. You are such a strong man♥️
Why didn't God wrap his arms around maggie and paul?
@@amethystrose3593
Seriously ?
@@karendueck2895 Seriously what? You read my comment it was pretty clear.
