If he didn't pull the triggers, he watched them pulled. Directly caused the murders of Maggie and Paul. In the end, it doesn't matter. He's got decades in prison on finance crimes. He successfully ended 100 years of family legacy.
The law firm is still open to this day and his brother is still there carrying the name on his son Buster will be there as well when he's done with school, isn't it crazy how people can murder people all the way around them and nothing happens to them.. like Stephen being out of his car and on a totally different road from his car and he was dead leaving his mother and family behind nothing has ever been done to the one who was involved.
@@wifeymommy4242 Buster was kicked out of law school for plagiarism. On the jail recorded phone calls played on Mandy Matney’s podcast, Alex tries to get Buster to re-apply after paying someone to convince the school to let him go back but Buster kept stalling. He wasn’t interested & now I doubt any law school would take him.
If he didn’t pull the triggers, then he didn’t directly kill them.
I think Cousin Eddie helped him. Alex had transferred several million dollars into Eddie’s own account, months leading to murder…
My thoughts aswell
Prosecution: “There were THREE shooters: Alex, the disbarred attorney; Alex, the financial con artist; and Alex, the murderer. They were all present that day, and here in the Court, at the defendant table.”
Maybe add one more - Alec the drug addict.
@@Brandysky1 😂
so true pinche ladron y asesino! it sounds more intense in Spanish lol
@@Brandysky1 Ding!Ding!Ding! Dope dealers charge top dolla to the wealthy.
@@Brandysky1 he's on drugs too? My God, this gets worse and worse .
@@lucyluzhuerta 💯😂
i legit have no sympathy for ANY of his family - the things they have done - ALL - of them are beyond any sympathy or forgiveness . Justice for Mallory, Stephen, Gloria and their families.
The fact so many people were TERRIFIED of this family disgusts me. No one should feel that hopeless anywhere.
Yeah I just watched some documentary on the family, I can't believe all the bodies and other horrible info I heard about the boys being out of control & that Buster was maybe having a thing going on with Stephen Smith. They sure weren't angels but Paul didn't deserve to be killed like that.
This is what happens when a family of crazy, drunken hillbillies are given some power and money. They don’t use the sense God gave them.
The family originally made their money from slavery- despicable people, with a love of money, instead of God.
Alex look like he belongs in Texas chainsaw massacre. That brow and those eyes.
After finding two deceased friends, I leaned the harsh reality that anyone- ANYONE- is capable of snapping and doing the unthinkable. It’s a harsh fact that you never really grasp until you see it first hand, in pools of blood and brain matter on the floor. Even then, I still can’t fathom it.
This case is heartbreaking and infuriating.
Its the fact that Alex was so adamant he was not at the kennels yet you can clearly hear his voice in the snapchat video at the kennels. Paul was in the kennel likely out of eye sight from Alex so he had no clue Paul recorded a video and his voice was on it. Why lie about that? I think he is guilty.
I think the testimony from Paul’s friend was damning
Agreed - he didn’t know his son was taking the video. In my view it is very damning - if I was on the jury this would wipe away any other possible questions /doubts the defence is trying to raise. Why would he lie if, as he suggests, he wanted to cooperate with the investigation - the only explanation that fits is - he is guilty as sin however i think the prosecution theory that he did it to distract attention from his financial crimes is thin - it might have been a factor but I read someone else comment that Maggie was very moral and would probably have left him once his crimes were revealed (as they were about to be). I also read that the bank who had loaned him $$ without paperwork ( that enabled him to replace funds he had stolen from a client and delay the discovery of his criminal activity, if only for a short time) was pressing him to get Maggie to sign mortgage documents as this was how he said he was securing the loan, and he couldn’t ask her to do so without exposing himself. I think it was the confluence of all these matters plus his narcissistic inability to have his family see what a crook he was that led him to murder them - just lucky that the other son wasn’t home. He is a family annihilator in my opinion. I hope he is found guilty but I have a bad feeling that he’s going to get off - people in the jury may give him the benefit of doubt because of his family’s history in the area.
i thought that first time I saw video---Paul had the camera so low to the ground--Alex didnt see him filming or he would have aborted his plan----
Alex suddenly realized after calling 911 or right after killing Maggie and Paul, there may be something on Paul's iPhone that could be damning to him. He searched for it then seeing he can't open Paul's iPhone for lack of a password. He felt forced to then unsolicitedly admit to going into Paul's pockets to retrieve his iPhone to account for his fingerprints on the iPhone. Alex was also giving up possible suspects and motives. Most people would be too overwhelmed with grief to go down the route because it seems so detached. As if he is going lead an investigation for law enforcement moments after seeing his wife and son with their brains shot out.
Alex: "Don't worry officers, I got this."
That is why he picked up Paul's phone to try to delete the video. No other reason to mess with the phone.
Cash is the real hero in this tragedy. His tail injury puts Alex at the scene.
💯
Yep… the tail that wagged the dog
Yes it put him seconds/ mins before his wife and youngest son too death!
Hahha snapchat and dog tails
I totally agree---fate at its finest! thank the Lord...
The video is chilling. Not only from the standpoint of two people being murdered minutes later, but the murderer seems to be joyfully engaged with his two victims. It must have been a complete surprise when Alex pulled out the gun.
I don't think he killed them . Their not of evidence the cops didn't even bother with like finger prints ,extra tire tracks they just drove through did t take shoe print wasn't Alex before cops contained the whole scene . Bec if the lies stealing from people they charged him with murder over lying stealing
My theory: Alex and Maggie were coming apart. She wanted to be at the beach and not with him so much anymore. He had to almost beg to get her back to Moselle that night. Blanca and her sister had to convince her to go back.. As for Paul, there is video the night of the boat accident that showed Paul drunk , rude and uncaring about Mallory being lost overboard. The civil action, not to mention the criminal action was going to cost Alex millions, which we now know he didn't really have. That is why Maggie had to go; that is why Paul had to go.
I thought of that tonight too.
It makes twisted sense about Maggie and a divorce. But he was going to have to pay the civil case no matter whether Paul was alive or dead so why harm him?🧐
Right at the beginning of Paul's video that is minutes before the murders, Paul says, "Hi dad". He says it low because he's trying to get Cash under control but he greets his father anyway even if Alex didn't hear Paul do it. Alex was there the moment the triggers were pulled, he lied about where he really was, he used the hour before going to mom's house to clean up and dispose of the evidence that he could, and just like Chris Watts, Alex ON THE SURFACE looks like a good guy, husband, and dad.....right before he kills his family.
Yes, you’re right! That’s the way I think it was….😢
good guy? the only one he didn't embezzle from was that dog. And I'm not 100% sure about that either................!
@DRAGON ZONE Well hello there, DRAGON ZONE! 👍😎
I read an online news article that revealed 2 witnesses observed Alex outside his Mother's home hiding something in blue tarp or raincoat. The police found a blue raincoat with gun powder. They believe the murder weapons were wrapped in the raincoat.
@DRAGON ZONE Wtf does that mean?
his state of mind or motive cant be known. how much he loved his family cant be known. psychopaths are what they are. but he lied about being in the kennel and that tells u all u need to know. end of story.. full stop... guilty
Agreed!
My ex was the nicest guy but behind closed doors it was different. One time we had a great night around a bon fire with our neighbors, lots of stories & laughing until we went home. Once inside, my ex grabbed me around my waist forcefully & with intent so I told him he could at least be nice about it, which didn't go over so well. After a fun night, I am now being called derogatory names & being told I'm cheating because I asked him to be gentle, his anger just grew & grew until he was on top of me, punching me non-stop. At this point I am unrecognizable but the scariest part was hearing him say, "I can't let people see you like this", which I truly believe he would have killed me had he not grown tired allowing me to get out from under him. I ran, grabbed the cordless phone & locked myself in my bathroom wedging myself between the bathroom door & the bath tub so he couldn't get in & I called the police. The moral of my story is, not everyone is who they seem & projects to the world.
Well you're still alive so it doesn't even compare to this
@@ihave35cents95 read her comment again. You’ve obviously missed the point. And read slowly, so it sinks in.
@@Musiclover-uo2oi it sunk in just fine wiseguy. If a man wants to kill a woman there's not a bathroom door in the world that's going stop him.
Noone can believe this unless they've dealt with narcissistic/sociopathic people.
Stop lying
My heart is with, amongst others, Chris Wilson. Poor guy. To be such close close friends with someone and his family for multiple decades, for the entirety of his adult life since college, and to be betrayed like this and to lose what he thought he had in Alex .. my heart really hurts for him. This is a significant loss just like a death is😞
I know!! I feel terrible for him. So many betrayals to his best friend. Total narcissist.
Alec is a good actor. I think he killed Maggie and Paul for multiple reasons. Lots of evidence as to his guilt. He’s a conscienceless monster that should be put away permanently. As he told Maggie’s sister the killer thought about it a long time. He’s not as clever as he thinks he is. I feel sorry for Maggie’s sister.
@@Patricia-cy7ij same!!
I feel like there had to be signs…
there is no such thing as a true friend
As a father I wanted to believe that he was innocent just because I couldn’t imagine killing one of my sons. But after watching the trial so far I’d say 90 percent he’s guilty.
I say 99%
That video taken at the dog kennels pretty much sealed it.
His voice kills me. I'm SO GLAD I never knew Alec, I would've believed him.
I agree
He also never shed any tears after covering his face, his face is dry. Theres an odd moment right before his most dramatic" crying" in the car where he darts his eyes and makes direct eye contact with the camera...then he continues. It seemed like a performance. The only genuine emotion is when he described his sons ruined head. Those results were unexpected to him and horrifying. Most people would be more emotional even over accidentally killing a dog while driving! I know he could be in shock...but why did he lie about being at the kennel. Its unimaginable that he could kill his son.
The fact that the crime scene wasn't secure at ALL and people were just freely walking around is bananas. Alec should have been asked to leave for questioning and told the scene is being secured immediately and you cannot return until our investigation is finished.... why did this not happen!???
Exactly and why the interview in the car with police and not in an interrogation room like everyone else?
With all the other evidence we have now, it’s blown any imperfect investigation out the water. No one does a Perfect investigation. 🤷♀️
Because of who his family was…that family had a lot of influence in the law enforcement theres a who Podcast that talks about it. They knew instantly who it was when he first made the 911 call
Answer: Privilege. Wouldn't have happened for me.
@@7karnold Answer: Privilege. Remember, everyone in that place bowed and scraped around these people because they were "somebodies" who "had a storied name" and supposedly did good deeds.
When I heard that, the first thing I thought of was he failed him as a dad. I think he failed both boys. I think Maggie failed them as a mother. They didn’t teach them right from wrong. They bailed them out of everything. And what they did to their maid, so horrible. But karma’s gonna get you in the end. Rip Maggie and Paul😢
Excellent analysis. Thanks Jesse!
Look at the head down drooling crocodile tears. Old Inmate Trick that I have seen many times as a Correctional Officer. This guy deserves an OSCAR.
Yeah the difference between when the lawyers were arguing outside of the jury presence and when the jury is there is pretty clear. The rocking and sobbing is all for the jury
You’ve gotta be a GOOD actor to get an Oscar.
@joel R.
Yes, crocodile tears for them, real tears for himself.
And then he seems to stop crying and shift his eyes towards the monitor when something incriminating is happening in a video clip.
So true, tho minus the Oscar.
If he didn’t physically do it he was standing right there when it happened . No questions
Great wrap-up. Thanks 👍
But Maggie and Paul were NOT even suppose to be at that property , ALEX lured them out there …..he specifically sent messages to both of them telling them to come to the house that night …..
Very important points! I wish they had both refused.
I know his dad was in the hospital, but she could have gone to the hospital, then returned to Edisto.
So sad.
To think Alec was the last face Paul and Maggie ever saw. Their surprise, pain, and fear.
Not to mention the absolute BETRAYAL.
The absolute horror for both but the one he shot first, the other must have been in terror.
@@winklestraat I know, isn't that awful? Am so glad he got 2 life terms, but he should have gotten the death penalty. And he STILL was lying standing there after the sentencing arguing he was innocent! What a narcissistic jerk.
I think the only excuse in the book Alex’s defense hasn’t used is “maybe the dog did it”
😂
Not true, maybe someone he stoled money from wanted to hurt him.
The dog know who did it. If bring him besides that dog. That dog would jump on him. I bet that
Same dog that killed their housekeeper.
lol
Jesse - You are very good at what you do. I really enjoy your coverage of the crimes you cover. Keep-up the refreshing, unbiased, and yet penetrating coverage.
He got really large pupils tho
It's odd when asked about why he lies he says " what a tangled web we weave." He doesn't finish the saying goes " what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive"
It’s absolutely possible that people who look “normal” and have “loving”interactions with family members, friends or even strangers could brutally murder them, that’s why psychos represent such a danger to society (there’s plenty cases like that). You also need to realize that he betrayed his best friends (like his lawyer fiend), banking institutions (that lent him money with improper procedures) and even the housekeeper’s son who were loyal to them for years. That’s just my analysis and of course I don’t know exactly what happened that tragic day
My ex strangled and tried to kill me, yet everybody loved him and thought he was just the greatest guy.....Be careful of those who act all fun and happy, you never know.
It's Village Wodonga all over again.
Stealing is very different from murdering half your family.
Family killing family isn't so hard to grasp. Family members killing family members has been going on since time immemorial. The very first family on Earth according to the Old Testament we have Cain killing his brother Abel.
@@daisygirl1217 Narcissists are very manipulative and will gaslight you into thinking they are someone who they are not. And probably worst of all, have you thinking you are someone who you are not.
Good point! Right after talking to Cash, Paul muttered "Hi Dad." I didn't catch that before!
Love your show and the breakdown, great explanation of bullet points. Trusted source is : LAW AND CRIME.
A combined timeline of the activity of all three cellphones would be really, really helpful.
An excellent idea, someone could recreate the calls/texts in real-time, we could get an idea of the timeline.
Plus gps (if available) so we can see people's whereabouts.
Most definitely.
I want to know why Alec's phone recorded so many steps. Why was he walking when he was meant to be eating dinner with Maggie and Paul? And why was Alecs phone recording steps when he was meant to be napping?
I believe that's coming
Emily D Baker posted a video summery of this trail week and she made a timeline of their phones.
Emilys done it.
Why would murderers show up to the property without their own guns?? Especially knowing that the property owners own so many guns and could shoot them coming in unarmed???
Plot twist! The 2 boys that he killed their mom and stole their money did it! Just kidding but good movie twist.
It's possible the shooter had been told earlier where to find the guns. I cannot put things together without AM's involvement in one way or another. I do think that one of the victims was the target, and the other was wrong place/wrong time.
They wouldn't. Just like you stated, they would not take a chance on the victims having a firearm to overpower them.
@@edgybarbie77 BINGO!
Jessie Webber I think your doing a great job. Calmly and questioning and not accusing people. But asking questions and put out the facts as they where presented. You give us stuff to think about. Thanks ❤
@Jean Kile I am retired and served the people
Thank You ❤️🙏😊
What’s Shocking is all that cell phone data one can extract from a user. 👀😳
Not really, do you not read TOS before accepting yes/I agree
People tried to warn us for years that cell phone are the ultimate government data collection tools. Many of us just dont care. But its scary to think about. We have no secrets.
Agree. Even the number of steps and change frm landscape to portrait! It’s becoming prime evidence in murder cases. And the fit watches can identify the exact time the person died.
@@Just.A.T-Rex I think weshellc is referring to the type of data not the legality of access. It’s not just the phone calls but location, steps taken, screen orientation!
@@brassy49er37 wonder if they can pull other data from people who wear smartwatches? Like elevated heart rate. Talk about some concrete evidence especially when it comes to a murder.
This family was brought to justice in a brutal way. From the financial crimes and nepotism in the courts, to the young girl killed in the boating accident… sometimes the chickens come home to roost for evil.
You know that makes sense it might sound brutal but from what I’ve heard about that family it fits this instance
Long over due sounds like to me.
Amen
The lord works in mysterious ways
True. There are no sympathetic characters in this story. They all seem awful.
Thank you
Great recap
Alec Mudaugh may have "loved his family" but he loved money and his freedom MORE.
Maggie was talking about divorcing him which would have caused him more financial difficulties. Paul had been in legal trouble off and on for years and was causing Alex a lot of trouble and money. I think Alex hated them by this time.
You don’t use a shotgun and rifle on someone you really love,just my humble opinion.
Nobody is going to show up on their property with intentions to kill WITHOUT bringing their own weapon!!!!
I definitely agree.
Unless Alex told him/them where he would leave the guns to use
@@cathyray3861 I thought about the possibility of Alex hiring a hitman, but if so, the hitman is scot-free, and Alex is left holding the bag.
@@cathyray3861 that could be a possibility
@@jimmyzhao2673 I think there was also another incident where Alex had a "flat tire" and someone took a shot at him in the road?
His character is definitely corrupt and he is a risk taker- his opioid addiction numbed his love and emotions- he could have descended into cold blooded murder. His interview with police officer in the police car was totally mind blowing.
Great analysis
No, I don’t think you have to put the murder weapons directly in his hands. The casings are showing a gun common to this house/location were used, as those from the boxes of shells found in the house. Alex changed his clothes and lied about being with Paul and Maggie when they were killed. The video proves it. Circumstantial, true, but very persuasive.
The witness (man) who sold guns was asked how many of the blackout guns he had sold and it was a very large number, which he could not accurately estimate, so it was evidently a very common and popular weapon.
No they found shells from ONE OF THE MURDER WEAPONS, not similar or the same exactly the same it doesn't matter how rare the gun is. The shells were fired from the same gun.
They said that Paul's gun had been stolen.............after watching this I'm wondering if Alec stole the weapon from his truck or had someone do it because he knew the end was coming and they were going to find out what he'd been up to all this time???
I dont think that overcomes reasonable doubt.....that cell phone data will remove most, if not all doubt tho
Alex's voice is clearly in the background of the video taken by Paul at 8:45. To me, this is the smoking gun. Alex was at the scene minutes before the murders when he said he was napping at that time.
I still can't get over the fact that the man himself... Dennis Reynolds, is now one of my favorite law educators.
It's wild.
You spoke what my intuition is speaking. What if someone else was on the property. I’m going to do a reading on this.
Has anyone watched the hbo max documentary about them? I already knew that family was full of bad, but it really surprised me how they are much worse than I even thought. Especially watching pauls behavior after the boat accident and hearing from Mallory’s boyfriend it’s so sad.
I watched it Americas worst family award goes to Alec the murder 300 blackout 😮😢 his mother would be so heartbroken 😭 what a waste of a family legacy 😢 rip Maggie and Paul ❤ now angels 👼
It was one of the craziest stories I’ve ever witnessed.
I’ll have to go watch that! The thing with documentaries is that they are always one sided. But if you can separate the biased info, you can still get an idea of the family dynamics
What's the title of the documentary? I would love to watch it.
@@hecklebeckle8089 Seriously....VERY SERIOUSLY doubt that Pauly boy made the cut for 😇 👼 duty.....more like 😈.
Thank you for the breakdown. This case is horrible in every aspect. It is a tangled web with layer upon layer of criminal activity. So sad for the victims and their families and friends.
“ layer upon layer “ great line !
What they described in the discovery is also an aspect of "money laundring? Then where does that lead. Has the boat been gps'd of its activity when it was in use, where it went, wherevit docked, various Marina's

@@darlenealessio7609 The boat accident is very important and shows hugh doubt that AM is a murderer. Eric Alan's YT channel explains

Facts- I respect your podcast
I know Paul is trouble, ruthless, and the kid needed to be held accountable for the murder of his friend, BUT! My God! Your son? Your boy who loved you??!? You (Alec) take your child’s life???? Just sad. A parent is to protect and correct their child when they are wrong so they won’t grow up to be terrible people. Alec failed as a father and husband.
Clearly his says i
Shame brings rage to the narcissists. Especially a malignant narcissists. He had a plan, just not a good one. The media needs to stop ignoring the evil of narcissists.
AMEN my friend, AMEN
It's evidence, not narcissism, that counts.
Wdym the media is ignoring it? This case is being blasted everywhere! They’re showing everyone what he’s done!
All of them.
Thank you it’s like no one knows what a NARC IS!
I agree, most of what I've seen was shaky evidence, but the video of the dog with Alec's voice was the most damning. If defense can show that the timing of that isn't accurate than that is something, but if the time isn't disputed, he was literally with them when they were murdered.
They called a witness from Snap, who verified the timing and validated its authenticity.
The fact that discarded shells found in the yard were fired from a murder weapon is even more telling, assassins don't go to the murder scene without weapons hoping they'll find guns snd ammo lying about to use.
Wouldn’t matter if the timing was accurate or not, the fact he said he was NEVER down at the kennels that day until after he came back from his mothers house shows you he 100% lied that night. And why lie, if you didn’t do anything?
They all sound the same.
@@joedennehy386 I agree. I don’t know how many people hunted at that property though. Maybe it could be argued that every hunter in that town shot their own gun at some point on that property?
From the video I hear a voice in the background that says "Hi Paul" and Paul responds back under his breath "Hi dad"...
The confusion surrounding these murders was deliberate to put reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.
Paul’s Snapchat is the number one thing in my mind that made Alex guilty. The evidence is overwhelming at this point and I can only pray this man is put away for good. Rest in peace Paul, Maggie, Gloria and Stephen.
How? The snapchat evidence proves that it's impossible that Alex could have got rid of the guns used within the timeline, and the prosecution can't even match that gun with the gun that was used to kill them which is basic ballistics analysis. That tells me that it doesn't match. I would love to here some evidence that "overwhelmingly" proves either point (guilty or innocent) because I've seen none.
@@ImaITman Hello? if you can't locate the weapons you certainly can't do a ballistics test which is exactly why the guns were gotten rid of. the fact that those 2 types of guns were always at the hunting lodge and now they are mysteriously missing is all you need to know. Alex knows hiding places on his own property that no one else would ever think of. The Snapchat proves that Alex was present just minutes before the murders. His alibi has been debunked not only by the Snapchat but now as well with his mother's caregiver.
That was one of the nails in the coffin for me as well. He didn't count on that surprise element, especially after denying being there at that time. Alex is smart but overwhelmingly narcissistic. He's gotten away with so much shady dealings there's no way he expected to be in his current position. Even if the weapons aren't found, there's still a boatload of of evidence to convict him. IMO they should've escorted him straight to the electric chair.
woah, Just started watching, who's Stephen?Thank you. Where was his oldest son?
@@moniquegermaine7629 oh my goodness, Sad all around.Thank you for answering my ?.
He clearly lied about being at the kennels with them. He thought he had covered all his tracks but wasn’t expecting the snap chat video to place him there. His phone was inactive with absolutely no data recorded at the exact time that he was at the kennels and his family was murdered. He planned this! He hid the weapons in the kennel area and lured Maggie to the farm. He made calls to Maggie to create a story line but as we now know he was with them 15 minutes prior. It’s a joke if this guy gets off the hook for this.
Still have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt...People are going to be upset but I think he'll walk free bc the burden is so high and just isn't enough to unequivocally convict him. It's a 50/50 coin toss.
@@royaltyblessed2454 I think they will get a conviction. Its a circumstantial case and his sons Snapchat video shows he clearly lied and was there when he claims he wasn't. This just happened to take place at their hunting lodge where all the guns are at and he has the same type of ammo that was used to kill them. Then he faked and staged a roadside shooting after this. The guy is a shady, greedy, immoral schemer. Alex lured his wife there and she even knew something was off when he insisted she come there, she texted her friend saying that Alex was acting fishy and something was off. She was right.
Considering it a been said he had high-impact fluid on him(didn't know about that) and he was there before minutes before the crime and he planned a fake hit on him prior, it's a great chance he's losing. Events leading up to this shows he's capable of manufacturing this scenario
@@royaltyblessed2454 agree 💯 I just see reasonable doubt.Look at Casey , they had evidence and she walked.
@@jharp08 what do u mean high impact fluid?
Paul I'm happy you take this video and be in peace your mother and you🕊️🕊️
excellent presentation 5 stars
Great report, thanks!!
Am I wrong but didn't Paul's friend say he heard Alex's voice in the last phone call he had with him ?
You are correct ✅
You are not wrong Rogan heard Alec and Maggie and Paul together at the kennels.
both of Paul's friends identified Alex Murdaugh's voice in the snapchat video Paul sent moments before he died.
Let's hope that is his downfall x
That phone call will be his downfall. The jury will have a hard time brushing that off! It proves he was there, and he is lying. Only reason he would lie about it is if he had something to hide. He also had different clothes on in the cop car from the video at the tree that was taken an hour before. Why??
Guilty. Plus he fake rocks n cries...cringe
1/3 speed sounds like, "THIS is so bad."
Only a narcissist would believe he could get away with all this.
A malignant narcissist at that !!!
It is amazing to see someone who’s done this, get up on the stand and lie and pretend to cry !!!
He’s a narcissistic psycho killer
😤😠😡
This is just so crazy money really cause some people to do horrible things
And raise their children to be entitled selfish people.
That's why the love of $$$... is the root to all evil.
Ridiculous.
Guns and money don’t kill people.
People kill people.
Most people with money do not commit crimes. I would argue that it is more common for a crime to be committed by a person with little means. Just look that the murders in our inner cities like Chicago. Rich people certainly aren’t the murderers
Not just money! People who feel entitled and who are born into money.
@@hotvegas2498 💯
Alex ACTED like he loved his family…did he really? Sounds like Alex is one big conman
Alex M really is the biggest rat in the sewer!
That's cause he IS!!
I feel like he wasn't necessarily doing it as a distraction, that was just an added bonus. I think he is just a family annihilator. A type of those killers include people that kill their entire family to "put them out of their misery." They think themselves so important that if they screw up and are going to jail or are going to kill themselves, then they need to take the whole family out with them so the family doesn't "suffer" embarrassment or the "pain" of losing them.
Fascinating case.
I think his motive was to keep the wife and son quiet. The son was headed to jail. The wife and son had threatened to rat on him about his other crimes in order to get a deal for the son. So he killed them both.
Also the wife recently met with a divorce lawyer.
I doubt they’d give his son a deal for killing someone in exchange for a totally unrelated crime
@@gojobuddy Courts make deals like that everyday, what are you talking about?? If you have enough info on a crime of interest to the state, they will cut you a deal on your crime. States offer immunity and states even offer money. You must be confused.
Wouldn't the civil actions against the son be far worse than any state action? He could cut a deal to get a lighter sentence for the drunk boating, but that wouldn't have any influence on how much his family would have to pay out to the victims in the boat crash civil suit.

The family of the girl who died in the boat accident sued the Murder ugh estate for $50 mil. They reached a settlement for an undisclosed amount from Buster Murdoch (Just recently).
His voice on the dog clip and at 7:55 he had on different clothes. Never said anything about cleaning himself up. He did it!
It's tough. Hope justice served
Correct! He went from nice pants and shirt an hour before the murders to a shirt and shorts when the police arrived after the 911 call.
@@KayInMaine It could be argued that it was normal for him to change clothes before going to visit his mother, as a possible reason (I am not arguing either way).
@Lucienne It could also be argued after putting a raincoat over your nice slacks and a shirt to murder your wife and son in, you would be apt to change your clothes so when the police arrive after you call 911 to pretend like you didn't know anything about what happened, your clothes would be clean. See?
Oh man this is really scary
Update now he is saying he lied so for months and during the trial he lied ,sounded so innocent and whiny .. real . Now he saying he lied .
Unbelievable
Alex was there. He can CLEARLY be heard, saying, "Come here Bubba!" Bubba is Alex Murdaugh's dog, a Lab.
@@Lucienne-zz1sw Rogan's dog is named Cash, not Bubba
@Lucienne You need to school yourself. The name of Paul's friend's dog is "Cash."
@@Birdbike719 Alex's dog is Bubba. You are not keeping the facts straight.
@@Lucienne-zz1sw You are WRONG.
@@ameliareaganwright2758 I never said Alex's dog wasn't named Bubba. I suspect the OP has edited his comment from his original post to correct his first post
We see murder/suicides every day involving so-called loving family members from great families with the ideal lives and wide smiles in all photos. It's common - happens all the time!! "He was the perfect father," the neighbor says. "I would never, never expect that from her," says the sister. "He was the gentlest person around," says the best friend. Common. Particularly with sociopaths.
He was very quiet, kept to himself mostly.
The phone data, to me, is critical that Alex was there at the time of the murders. He lied about being at his mothers for 40 or 45 minutes. He told police at the kennels that he was gone at his moms for an hour 30 minutes. The assistant said he was there approximately 20 or less minutes.
“They did him so bad” the slow down was a huge mistake for the prosecution
I've only just watched for the first time and not familiar with the case but what struck me was, Alex nodded in agreement each time the witnesses on the stand identified him 100%. Wouldn't he shake his head at least?🤔
i only started catching up on this case as well just before the trial and binge watched the podcast that is out about this, it was impossible to watch them all like they are on episode 79 at this stage but i watched a few hours and at this stage ,I definitely think he done it just my opinion
@@m.o.t7283 so you know why I’m so enthralled with this case. I have watched every single podcast, Murdaugh Murders podcast, every Sunday for over two years.
Has there been anything official that Maggie was divorcing Alex? She was living at the beach house. A divorce would mean Alex financial crimes would be exposed. And with Paul, his boat crash has stated the whole unraveling of Alex crimes.
That part is coming through another witness Maggie called that night saying she was afraid of him and didn’t want to go there and that Alex was up to something! It’s gonna be damning!
The boat crash was just an inconvenience that was going to cost him a lot of money. Everyone should give praise to the paralegal who caught the fact that the check was missing. That started the whole can of worms opening up that spread to everyone and everything he touched. The boating accident was the icing on the cake and the murders were the cherry on top.
@@dublintooexactly. Though I heard malorie’s parents where suing Alex and Paul and they too where asking for his financials. Alex sure screwed up all the advantages he was given in life. What a greedy man.
The prosecution is doing an amazing job. Defense knows they’re f’d. I’m totally addicted to this trial. Respect
does the hammer strike match from the found shells and the rifle in question?
I was following his son’s case when all this craziness happened. Speechless
That's why Alex murdered them
Same here. Very entitled, $ and power greedy family that behaved criminally and completely irresponsibly and taking advantage of even their most loyal friends and colleagues. This family’s values were in the gutter. Nothing! would surprise me that comes to light about the Murdaugh’s at this point. Including Buster’s involvement in Steven Smith’s death (think that’s the young man’s name that was found dead in the road). The whole clan is despicable.
The all deserve what they got
What was his son doing?
@@miricum69 Ifbyoure talking about Paul he was drunk on his arse and driving the boat when he hit the bridge and passengers were thrown from the boat. Mallory Beach was one of those passengers and died. The Murdaugh’s were being sued for Millions and it sounds like they were basically bankrupt bc of all of AM’s misdeeds.
It's pretty clear he did it. The only question remains is will the jury convict.
All the defense needs is one confused juror
No confusing at all
Replay snapchat haha
exactly the mofo is guilty af!
@@nh6central: One dissenting juror out of 12 will not result in an acquittal, just a hung jury and almost certainly a retrial. Prosecutors don’t usually make the same mistake a second time and almost always win a second trial.
@@rayray8687 I wonder is the jury all from the same area, I assume that they are.
Does anyone know what time the medical examiner said they passed?
The 300 blk round has become EXTREMELY popular the last decade as the ammo got cheaper and more manufacturers started marking them. Because you use an ar15 to fire them (with a different barrel, and I think bcg.). They’re great for shorter AR’s especially shooting suppressed because the round is heavier, and can be purchased in a subsonic variant, making it quieter.
Wonder if his homeowner's insurance policy would have paid Alex on both murders? That could have been his motivation also.
No
Moselle was in Maggie name also the beachhouse . He needed the money .
I think to Alex Paul was the catalyst.. When they were sued because of the accident Alex's financials were made known.. Also the beach house was in Maggie's name, and Alex needed her signature for the bank because he got money using the beach house...
@A A I wonder what amount of life insurance Alex had on each of them with him as beneficiary.
@@lindahaggard6416 I heard in one of the first few days of testimony he didn’t have life insurance on Maggie or his son .
The other thing the snap hat with the tree showed was that Alex changed his clothes that evening. He was wearing different clothes when police arrived.
It could have been normal for him to change clothes before going to visit his mother (I am not arguing either way but it is a possibility). It was the summer and he had been doing things around the estate, so he could have naturally wanted to change clothes.
Doesn’t it sound like Paul says “hi Dad” after Alec comes up on the video with the pup?
I read that on Maggie’s will, her father in law was listed as her executor. And he passes away a few days later after the murders. Does anyone know what his death of cause was?
Ok, we know Alex was there within 4 min of the murder (per snap chat). Ask him how many “shooters” were there! 🙄
Also at the very beginning of Paul's video, Paul is trying to get Cash to simmer down, and then you hear Alex's voice, and Paul says, "Hi dad", but it's not loud enough for Alex to hear him.
Defence will try to challenge the time of death and will say Alex left before it all went down - that still doesn’t answer why Alex lied about being there though. Hopefully the jury will see that.
Why would Alex "Lure" Maggie to the kennels if they were living separately. She was hesitant to go to the kennels she wanted to meet him at the hospital. There has to be a reason he wanted Maggie there. I thought that maybe he was innocent but watching 2 weeks of the trial it's looking like he took his wife and sons life. Could there of been another person with Alex to help? This case seems to revolve around money. And money can make a person do some crazy things.
Paul’s court case for the boating accident was coming up, so they needed to talk about that. It’s also said he wanted her to go with him to see his father in the hospital. Whatever excuse, they weren’t living together at the time and Alex was living there not Maggie. She was staying at the beach house in Edisto.
He lured her there to kill her.
I believe he paid someone if not to do the entire killings, then to help
Sure, he was an addict and I’m sure knew other addicts. Addicts need money. Alex had lots of $.
Why did he invite her to the kennels and then not be there with her right away? It doesn’t make sense. I thought the other stuff was circumstantial, but the fact that he lured her says a lot.
9:20 I slowed it down on 0.5x & it sounded like he says," it was so just so bad they did it so bad" jmo.
This is a crazy case. RIP to Maggie & Paul 🙏🏽 💕 🕊
or--- He was answering to the comment: "You definitely saw a traumatic picture... " "I did. It's so bad."
Well done. Great recap. Merci!
If you're a detective and someone confess to you, don't you have to verify with the suspect he said what you thought he said? Why didn't the detective follow-up on the confession?
This evil SOB should just confess and go to prison, stop wasting the court's time.
The look on Alex s face when he hears the audio speaks Volumes
Just to think the son and mom had no idea they would soon be shot to death by their love ones, whom ever did it! 💔
Isn’t the SLED detectives job to explore the whole area and do a forensic map (like Dexter!) to determine how many shooters it could have been and all the possible places the guns could have been fired from (not to just identify the model of firearm) the minute it was discovered that two different weapons were used?
When you work with someone that is considered an expert or professional, you look to them to answer questions with confidence, detail and specifics.
So, the SLED detective really irritated me when she responded to the question: “could there have been two shooters?” With: “I don’t know, I wasn’t there”. Really?
Yes, she annoyed me too - very defensive. Isn't that what they call a hostile witness? All she had to say was, "it could be one possibility," because it certainly _was,_ even to a layperson like myself.
I thought that was really odd too! Why would she even say that? Obviously she wasn’t there. Good grief!
Like the JFK killing.
Jesse: You know what time it is time to do a recap “I knew my boy would keep me covered on this”
It's always so awkward when they have to point at the person they are testifying about.

@@aliciav7460 Thanks! I’ve just watched the trailer and it looks interesting
Assassins normally bring their own weapons, and not leave it to chance to be able to find weapons, even if it was an angry citizen who was mad at Paul. They proved that the ammunition was from a family weapon for Maggie's wounds. The ammunition matched that of a family weapon.
Wouldn’t you wanna make it look like Alex did it though.
hahaha assassins. lol what is this a movie? maybe they brought knives and saw the guns laying around so decided to use those. people go over to other people houses with the intent to kill without their assassins gear all the time. maybe they were there to beat him up but decided hey there are their guns lets use those and wont be traced to us. this evidence against alex is extremely thin.
Lol Maybe Alex or someone else duel wielded the shorty & . 300 Blkout 😂😂😂
you did watch the expert testify that it was inconclusive, right? meaning, that he couldnt determine that the casings, or bullet fragments found, could be matched to the weapons that were in evidence. the only thing that the ammunition matched was the caliber/ammo type, but 12g is abundant, you may as well not even pay attention to that part, and the .300 is also known as a common round used for the area, and was even testified by another witness that he has built and sold countless .300 rifles in that area. may as well say they were shot with a 9mm.
@@sweetsmods no, you'd just kill him, if that's your target.
I'm new to this case. This is the first video I've seen so far. So obviously I need to start at the beginning of all this, and I'll do that. But I have a quick question. Did they check Alex Murdaugh's hands for gun residue?
With the remote location they lived on and a house filled with hundreds of guns, I can't believe they didn't have camera's on the house and property. Seems strange
