@@sylviaanderson704 Yes, he is capable of answering the question. He just isn’t doing so. The woman is basically asking : what is Murdaugh’s motive? How would killing his wife and son help him get out of the problems he was dealing with (he had a drug problem and was embezzling from the law firm, plus had kept the insurance payout [from the death of their housekeeper] that actually belonged to the housekeeper’s family). But this guy is just talking about how lawyers are never supposed to mess with their client’s money, that it’s a very big deal in their business. I’m sure that’s true and was a problem for Murdaugh, but that does NOT explain what the motive is for killing the wife and son. Attorneys are EXPECTED to explain the motive behind the crime. The lawyer doesn’t need to read the mind of the accused - they are supposed to explain the motive so that there seems to be a reason (motive) for the accused to have committed the crime. I am SURE that the prosecuting side presented a motive and explained it thoroughly. But I have not been watching the court proceedings because of the amount of time involved. So I was watching a few short videos on RUclips to get the highlights, and I have wondered the same thing myself - how would it benefit Murdaugh to kill the wife and son? So I was just annoyed that this man in the clip didn’t actually answer the question. Or maybe they just ended the clip too soon and he went on to answer the question later. And maybe you should calm down a bit. 🙂
@Synnove maybe he says more in a longer clip. I have one idea: so Alex just learned that day that the law firm found out about stolen funds. He knew he had no defense and would be quickly disbarred. He would have to tell his wife sooner rather than later, and would be highly embarrassed plus have no way to earn money ever again. So in his twisted mind, if he eliminated his son and wife, he'd save himself some embarrassment from having to tell his wife, and he'd gain sympathy and maybe inherit her life insurance and property. That would buy him some time and maybe he'd get away with the murders. It's twisted for sure.
So true I used to think isn’t anyone who can kill someone show that they are mentally ill. Until I realized that EVIL and being “crazy” or mentally I’ll are two completely different things
Mark Tinsley (Beach family attorney) said there's no way he would have gotten a judgment on the 30 million dollar lawsuit against Alex because of the double murders, as Alex would have been seen as too sympathetic. I believe Alex was extremely angry and blamed Paul for the boat accident because the lawsuit was going to (and did) expose all of Alex's dirty deeds. Maggie owned the Moselle property and reportedly had gone to a Charleston divorce lawyer 6 weeks before the murders. If the boat accident lawsuit went away that's a huge motive. He wouldn't have anyone digging through his finances, he would still be a lawyer and everything would go back in his name. Alex testified that when he was stealing his clients' money, he would justify it in his mind. I believe Alex justified these murders in his mind as well. When Alex was asked how his relationship was with Paul and Maggie, he said, "it was as good as it could be." To me, that sums it up. What makes me think it had everything to do with the lawsuit was because that was the 1st words out of his mouth when LE showed up on the scene and when Maggie's sister testified that she asked Alex "who would do this?" His response was, "Whoever did this has been thinking about it for a long time." JMO

I totally agree with you. I’ve said that very thing to my husband from the very beginning of all this happening. The boat accident was the straw that broke the camels back so to speak. That and the fact his wife had been to a divorce lawyer. Everything was potentially coming into the light and he needed to stop it. So very sad and really messed up. ❤️💜💚
I think he wanted Maggie to get a loan, with the Moselle property as equity, and she wouldn't do it. I also think it's a good possibility that Paul wanted to admit that he was driving the boat, and wanted to admit responsibility for Mallory Beach's death. Those things infuriated Alex because he knew he was in such a terrible financial situation.
I feel like his son was becoming a huge liability and shedding light on all his other illegal activities and I think his wife may have tried to stop him from getting rid of the liability issues
Yes, of course Paul became a liability, and was too young and stupid to understand the folly of his actions, from what I saw it seems he was a bit out of control, not saying he was a bad kid just always got his way. I read an article that said, the father told Alec, he better do something with Paul or I’m going to don’t quite know what that means. He was a little too old for a whippin.
Paul was going to cause the family fortune to be diminished due to the many lawsuits. Maggie didn't work and spent on clothes, vehicles and decorators. It's expensive for the upkeep of 2 homes, especially a beach home. The salt air causes deterioration of outside structures and a/c systems.

One of the many great lessons that GOD has taught me is that too often, many people allow the demons to overtake them. Sometimes those demons can push people as far as murder or suicide. People can try to rationalize all day and come up with mental and dual diagnoses such as narcissistic disorder and drug addiction. The fact of of the matter is that all of those are simply the manifestations of the demons that operate in a being. Clearly the demons had convinced him that he would get away with it. Obviously I can’t know what the wife was in to, because all the reports I have heard is that she was a good wife and mother. What I do know is that people also tend to overlook the reality that a marriage is comprised of a man and a woman. It takes two. Many times, especially when things end this poorly/tragically- the wife was also partaking in some sort of witchcraft/ungodly activity that invited more demons into the family. Could be she was into consulting with a tarot card reader, addicted to porn, relieving herself- who really knows what she what into. I realize many would say that is no reason to die. Nevertheless, those are sins that if you don’t even feel any conviction for and you bask in it or constantly rationalize it all the time, you become in service to Satan whether you realize it or not. Everything is even more intensified by the curses in the bloodline/linage that we are supposed to be breaking; not making worse.
Amen Amen Amen…. Demon are rear and lot of people that goes the church are not filled with Holy Spirit and haven’t been taught as a believer you must believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Son of God and God raise Him from the grave also died for the whole world not just some but for all Amen 🙏. Satan gets into empty house where there is no God in their lives. Then God turns them over to a reprobate mind and they get worse and worse. I hope the family give their life to Jesus. Satan offered them all of the worldly things of life from generations to generations and look what happened to the family. Satan are no friends of nobody’s He comes to kill steals and destroys anybody that do his work. Their money was blood money. God is still on the throne. God 👀👀Everything and everyone doings. He is the Judge Amen. And I agree with everything you said as a believer in Christ Jesus .
I heard today that there was not an actual life insurance policy on Alex Murdaugh. Why did he stage the suicide/assault episode and insisted it was because he wanted Buster to receive the proceeds from the life insurance?
No way, You are right there was never any insurance policy on Alex's life. He could never consistently afford the premium on such an amount and no insurance company would deem him fit for such a policy to begin with considering how unhealthy the idiot was. The suicide attempt was to divert the murder investigation from himself but when people quickly caught up on the facade he came up with another self serving lie of story. Alex can never kill himself for anybody not even Buster. Pure lies as usual
Covert narcissist. He killed them out of rage at consequences catching up with him, because they were causing him so much trouble, the boat case causing the financial investigators… Maggie too was living off him yet had a forensic accountant scouring their money… how dare they.
His ego was hit for the fourth and final fifth time. Alec could not face his family, Maggie and Paul, knowing he could not provide for them (the lifestyle they kept) this bothered him in everyway think able. Everything fell apart all around the same time, career, finances, popping candy, killing innocent people throughout the last 10 years, abusing the law, and his own personal family falling apart. Karma is bringing his family complete shame to the family name, Murdaugh, for a lifetime.
He may have had the ability to talk his way out of things but i figure his WIFE's money,& her suing for divorce& his son being aware of his infidelity had a lot to do with motive.
I believe that Alex thought he could contain his illegal money problems with his clients within the firm. He was ousted out by his fellow lawyers in the firm but figured he could make some kind of deal in a hushed up manner to repay what he owed. Partly because he’d always been able to talk his way out of his double dealings, he may have figured that it would be an advantage for his former partners to also work out a payback deal for him quietly to avoid the scandal criminal proceedings might have brought to the firm as well as him. He could very well have been wrong but he could also be right. Two things that weren’t immediately in the picture for him to accomplish that soon became clear to him. A serious suite was being filed about Paul’s boat accident that implicated himself and Maggie as well as Paul. His finances and corruption would soon be openly apparent . The lawyer representing the parents of the girl that was killed in that accident was intensely probing into his fiancés seeking a wrongful death settlement from him. Also any attempt to payback anyone he’d cheated on the ‘lowdown’ might very well be in jeopardy even without the accidental wrongful death suit because the properties were in Maggie’s name. I don’t think he was at all confident that she’d be willing to sign them over to him to either sell or use as collateral for payback. Incredibly it seems he had no real money himself or at least no access to it. So he decided to kill both problems. The probing law suit would be dismissed without Paul. And he’d have access to all assets. That’s the scenario I picture. It’s an ugly one and I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Hope he never sees the light of day outside his prison walls.

My opinion: There were some things that were about to expose him, therefore he figured killing them would eliminate the bs the son was having questioned and the wife was for financial gain(insurance, I’m sure). He couldn’t kill one without the other. As far as Buster, he’s been the smartest one of them all. He missed up once and sat the hell down. The other kid was causing them too much light on their bs. Just my opinion. When white women say they want a divorce, those husbands go into killer mode!! It’s very scary and sad! Don’t get me wrong, black men do it, too, just to have control, also! Dating is soooo scary, nowadays. He needs to get every year that he deserves. Also, this should be a LESSON for “entitled” people! When you teach your kids to behave in a horrible manner, he/she behavior will eventually embarrass you! These kids were raised off of entitlement!
GOD, and not even the devil work in accordance with our human logic. Spiritual warfare IS very real and it’s transpiring 24/7. If it happened, one CAN trust GOD allowed it for a good reason.
From all that I’ve heard, maggie was getting fed up with Alex and was considering ending the marriage and she has a lot of money plus would’ve cost him a fortune & his further financial crimes were being found out.
He could talk his way out when dealing with the poor, hurt and minorities. Stealing firm money....real bad. Then he did the "I am the victim stuff and Paul's boat crash, fast talking wasn't enough. Paul's case would expose his theft.
I don’t know what question he was responding to but it definitely wasn’t the one she just asked! I think Alex had been so use to getting out of situations he just figured he would continue to get away with it all. I really hope he doesn’t get a second trial but if he does I hope the jury comes to the same verdict
Cause his wife was gonna leave him and his finances were gonna be exposed so he had to stop that but his son would also know what he did and tell sue to fact he killed his mother so he had Togo too. I bet the son killed was close to his mom
This explanation is nonsensical. I doubt being disbarred was high on Alex's mind to commit this heinous of a crime. His family NEVER played by the rules and if they got caught, they had so much power to cover up wrongs. It was just in his nature. He didn't give a care about spending "client's money"! 😂 If he wanted to hold on to power (aka his law license) it was BECAUSE he had access to client's money. Trust - this man didn't have an ethical bone in his body. So there isn't going to be ONE motive. He's a family annihilator driven by greed, lust, drugs, stress, etc.
Boat wreck was going to uncover the money crime. He didn’t want his wife to find out about all the money he stole. He desperately wanted to get rid of Paul also because, of the wreck. He killed them because he was about to be found out. I believe had Buster been there, he’d also be dead. Alex is extremely dangerous, manipulative, deceiving, fast talking, narcissistic man. He’s extremely self indulgent
My belief is that Alex was acting in panic because he saw the end of his dynasty that was on his shoulders. The wife wanted wanted a divorce and his son was going down for the boat thing. Somewhere in all that he thought he had to kill them????
I think he was afraid of her filing for divorce and that would have caused an investigation into his financial situation and him losing a significant amount of money and his son was causing him nothing but trouble and potentially being sued for huge amounts of money and it wasn't looking like the troubled son was going to doing anything to change his dangerous behaviors and in effect causing Alex to be in court bc of it and he didn't want any part of that! It was just easier to eliminate the problem instead of living with the potential threat of everything those two presented
He knew Maggie would divorce him when she found out about his being fired for embezzlement and disbarred. She was also worth more dead to him than alive. He killed Paul to make the murders to be in vengeance for the boating accident that killed Mallory. and ya can't prosecute a dead person. Alex didn't plan on being arrested, prosecuted and convicted for murder so in his. mind, he did it bc he he had to save himself! Alex was the favored son of 3 born son which makes him ABEL. but he comes from CAIN$ roots$ which makes him. A CAIN.ABEL
Was there no life insurance on his wife / son? I always presumed that was his motive? Since he was up to his eyeballs in debt / trouble financially, I genuinely thought he murdered them for financial gain. If he didn’t… that puts an entirely new spin on it in my mind.
He inherits her assets if she dies. If she lives- and they divorce… he loses half. With Paul out of the picture- the boat accident liability goes down.
How can you find out if your lawyers not being or being honest about money the client gets but doesn’t get transparency for themselves to know how much is issued out. The law should protect the actual client.
I think he did it for multiple reasons. Maggie was divorcing him, maybe she was going to tell what she knew. Paul was becoming a major problem for him, both financially and legally. And they both stayed after Alex over his drug habit. Getting rid of them solves a lot of problems for him.
He couldn’t live with the SHAME or rejection from his immediate family once everything would become public. He killed them b/c he couldn’t face their rejection of him.
Paul was called “little detective”. He kept an eye on his dad’s drug use for Maggie. I believe Alex did plan to kill Maggie. He texted her earlier wanting her to come with him to visit his ill parents. I’m not sure about Paul. I wonder if Alex was arguing with Paul that night? Emotions would have been high for both he and Paul. Doubly strained for Alex if he was planning to kill Maggie. So Paul said something that caused Alex to snap and he lost his temper. Paul was messing up Alex’s plans for killing Maggie. Alex had the weapons there, he was ready, so he shot Paul. Maggie ran towards Paul,her baby, Alex shot her stopping he before she could reach Paul. However it happened it was and is horrible. Alex was a poor liar! He’s proved that over and over again!
I still don’t get it. No info given seems to warrant AM’S justification for murdering them. On the other hand, the guy is nuts, so I guess any reason is plausible to him.
I don't think he did it I think his family did it his testimony was clear didn't say it was only them there he said the dog didn't feel threatened by anyone that was there it was someone they knew but I don't believe it was him
No. I doubt her could get a policy with his reputation. He used his umbrella policy to file for the death of his housekeeper. A couple million was supposed to go to her boys. But he kept it.
You think with all their influence the family would be on every media and social site seaking helping to find the killer(s)- if they believe he is innocent
What does she mean she doesn't understand.... It's called LIFE INSURANCE...I'm really just guessing... Shame on this, man. I can't hurt anyone that I ❤.....
Yes I was watching the documentary but wen his wife an son wer murdered I cauldnt understand y he added them to his evil list I thought his family wer safe
Life insurance policies and directing the attention of the authorities and buying some time to formulate a new plan sounds like a pretty damn good reason to me if I was a really desperate individual with absolutely no conscious and a heavy drug addict.... Buuuuuuuuuuut..... I DO love me a good old fashioned "murder porn" so ... 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think he killed them I think he was there while a mob style killing happened infront of him to teach him a lesson from a client. I think some other murderer happened and he isn't able to tell because it makes him more guilty in somthijg esle
he killed Maggie because she was going to divorce him. She had already been staying at the other house, basically alone for the most part. she also like to be closer to the beach. the housekeeper, Blanca, had gotten her to go be with Alex that day because his father had started to do bad as he was close to death. Maggie already mentioned her concern that she wanted to meet him in a public place oh, he was acting really weird and sketchy and just different and it was scaring her. They did a really good job of keeping all of this away from The Trial. He wanted to make it look like Maggie still live there and everything was fine. If Maggie would have divorced him, she would have taken half of everything he had and there's no way he could deal with that he was not addicted to opiates, he squirrel that money away somewhere. I like you shop all because it got rid of the boat incident, he couldn't be sued and have any money taken away from him or because Paul would know and he would not be able to live with the fact that he knew his dad killed his mom. I think he would have said something, unlike buster. Busters hanging in there for money or he's just being very ignorant and naive
I agree about the opiates thing. I believe he was using, but there's no way on earth he was spending those ridiculous amounts of money on them that he claimed. Between my ex and myself, I've never come across anyone who used like we did and the amounts he's claiming would have killed us straight up. Over n over again. Don't k ow how he got anyone to believe that
@@RandomFknPerson there's alot of ppl who don't know enough about it except real drug addicts and who believes anything we say? Lol, I mean really? We're recovering but nobody listens to us. I don't think he took any pills at all. I think he squirled all that money away into hidden accounts, off shore, etc.. I could've used alot more if I had the money but NEVER 60 pills a day. That's outrageous! It makes me laugh bc it's so outrageous
People are assuming it’s because of his financial problems. We don’t know the truth. Watching this makes me so sad. What a waste waste of a family that seem to really care about each other. Very sad.
His son was a menace costing him lots of legal defense money and he hated the wife because she coddled the son. So therefore she was a menace too. They didn’t fit his lifestyle 🥴
1. Divorce - he has to split assets. If she is dead- he gets it all.
2. Boat wreck. If Paul is gone- a big chunk of liability is gone.
3. Drug use. No one to stop him now.
4. Shame - did not want to shame Maggie. The boat wreck had already effected her in the community.
It’s multiple choice on the motive.

Amen Amen Amen…. Demon are rear and lot of people that goes the church are not filled with Holy Spirit and haven’t been taught as a believer you must believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Son of God and God raise Him from the grave also died for the whole world not just some but for all Amen 🙏. Satan gets into empty house where there is no God in their lives. Then God turns them over to a reprobate mind and they get worse and worse. I hope the family give their life to Jesus. Satan offered them all of the worldly things of life from generations to generations and look what happened to the family. Satan are no friends of nobody’s He comes to kill steals and destroys anybody that do his work. Their money was blood money. God is still on the throne. God 👀👀Everything and everyone doings. He is the Judge Amen. And I agree with everything you said as a believer in Christ Jesus .
I agree 100% well writen
@yahayrawho right! Whatever seeds we sow(plant)that's the crop we will grow and harvest!! can't plant watermelon and expect green beans or corn!!!
I heard today that there was not an actual life insurance policy on Alex Murdaugh. Why did he stage the suicide/assault episode and insisted it was because he wanted Buster to receive the proceeds from the life insurance?
No way, You are right there was never any insurance policy on Alex's life. He could never consistently afford the premium on such an amount and no insurance company would deem him fit for such a policy to begin with considering how unhealthy the idiot was. The suicide attempt was to divert the murder investigation from himself but when people quickly caught up on the facade he came up with another self serving lie of story. Alex can never kill himself for anybody not even Buster. Pure lies as usual
Covert narcissist. He killed them out of rage at consequences catching up with him, because they were causing him so much trouble, the boat case causing the financial investigators… Maggie too was living off him yet had a forensic accountant scouring their money… how dare they.
She knew he was hiding money and she was going to find it.
For real I agree and love your shows
She needed to divorce him before the son's lawsuit.
Ana, did you lighten your hair or is it just the lighting in the video that makes it appear lighter?
You should have watched the whole trial.
His ego was hit for the fourth and final fifth time. Alec could not face his family, Maggie and Paul, knowing he could not provide for them (the lifestyle they kept) this bothered him in everyway think able. Everything fell apart all around the same time, career, finances, popping candy, killing innocent people throughout the last 10 years, abusing the law, and his own personal family falling apart.
Karma is bringing his family complete shame to the family name, Murdaugh, for a lifetime.
He was stressed and felt ashamed if his family found out all selfishness
He may have had the ability to talk his way out of things but i figure his WIFE's money,& her suing for divorce& his son being aware of his infidelity had a lot to do with motive.
I believe that Alex thought he could contain his illegal money problems with his clients within the firm. He was ousted out by his fellow lawyers in the firm but figured he could make some kind of deal in a hushed up manner to repay what he owed. Partly because he’d always been able to talk his way out of his double dealings, he may have figured that it would be an advantage for his former partners to also work out a payback deal for him quietly to avoid the scandal criminal proceedings might have brought to the firm as well as him. He could very well have been wrong but he could also be right. Two things that weren’t immediately in the picture for him to accomplish that soon became clear to him. A serious suite was being filed about Paul’s boat accident that implicated himself and Maggie as well as Paul. His finances and corruption would soon be openly apparent . The lawyer representing the parents of the girl that was killed in that accident was intensely probing into his fiancés seeking a wrongful death settlement from him. Also any attempt to payback anyone he’d cheated on the ‘lowdown’ might very well be in jeopardy even without the accidental wrongful death suit because the properties were in Maggie’s name. I don’t think he was at all confident that she’d be willing to sign them over to him to either sell or use as collateral for payback. Incredibly it seems he had no real money himself or at least no access to it. So he decided to kill both problems. The probing law suit would be dismissed without Paul. And he’d have access to all assets. That’s the scenario I picture. It’s an ugly one and I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Hope he never sees the light of day outside his prison walls.
How much clearer do you need it? Alex would of received 2 life policies, his wife and son. Alex cared about noone,nothing but money.
Nobody should have to be told not to steal from others lawyers included
Maggie was eventually going to leave him and he knew it! She was done!
"🎵🎵Arm yourself alarm yourself but there's noooowhere you can run. Cuz a man with a briefcase can steal more money than any man with a gun. You cross a lawyer with the Godfather baby you get an offer you can't understand." Gimme What You Got Don Henley
My opinion: There were some things that were about to expose him, therefore he figured killing them would eliminate the bs the son was having questioned and the wife was for financial gain(insurance, I’m sure). He couldn’t kill one without the other. As far as Buster, he’s been the smartest one of them all. He missed up once and sat the hell down. The other kid was causing them too much light on their bs. Just my opinion. When white women say they want a divorce, those husbands go into killer mode!! It’s very scary and sad! Don’t get me wrong, black men do it, too, just to have control, also! Dating is soooo scary, nowadays. He needs to get every year that he deserves. Also, this should be a LESSON for “entitled” people! When you teach your kids to behave in a horrible manner, he/she behavior will eventually embarrass you! These kids were raised off of entitlement!
I think it was a distraction.
Greed...
GOD, and not even the devil work in accordance with our human logic. Spiritual warfare IS very real and it’s transpiring 24/7. If it happened, one CAN trust GOD allowed it for a good reason.
Maggie was seeking a divorce
Paul-Paul will cost millions-
boat case
It’s always about Money ALWAYS
What do you mean? The elimination of his son alone gets him out of a 5 million dollar lawsuit…
Murdering a wife or husband is one thing but I just don’t see how you could kill your own child
THIS WAS ABOUT EGO AND PRIDE!
The Mozelle property was in her name. Now he can sell. I see many ways he could benefit.
From all that I’ve heard, maggie was getting fed up with Alex and was considering ending the marriage and she has a lot of money plus would’ve cost him a fortune & his further financial crimes were being found out.
He could talk his way out when dealing with the poor, hurt and minorities. Stealing firm money....real bad. Then he did the "I am the victim stuff and Paul's boat crash, fast talking wasn't enough. Paul's case would expose his theft.
I don’t know what question he was responding to but it definitely wasn’t the one she just asked! I think Alex had been so use to getting out of situations he just figured he would continue to get away with it all. I really hope he doesn’t get a second trial but if he does I hope the jury comes to the same verdict
Thanks for making this point!!
What I'm saying. WHY take away 2 lives for crimes you were going to be indicted for anyway?
Cause his wife was gonna leave him and his finances were gonna be exposed so he had to stop that but his son would also know what he did and tell sue to fact he killed his mother so he had Togo too. I bet the son killed was close to his mom
This explanation is nonsensical. I doubt being disbarred was high on Alex's mind to commit this heinous of a crime. His family NEVER played by the rules and if they got caught, they had so much power to cover up wrongs. It was just in his nature. He didn't give a care about spending "client's money"! 😂 If he wanted to hold on to power (aka his law license) it was BECAUSE he had access to client's money. Trust - this man didn't have an ethical bone in his body. So there isn't going to be ONE motive. He's a family annihilator driven by greed, lust, drugs, stress, etc.
Money was at the core of this, his son was a financial sinkhole with the law suites pending.
If you assume he’s guilty his story doesn’t make sense, if you assume he’s innocent his story fits perfectly…
Boat wreck was going to uncover the money crime. He didn’t want his wife to find out about all the money he stole. He desperately wanted to get rid of Paul also because, of the wreck. He killed them because he was about to be found out. I believe had Buster been there, he’d also be dead. Alex is extremely dangerous, manipulative, deceiving, fast talking, narcissistic man. He’s extremely self indulgent
And he was stealing from his Law Firm also. Never bite the hand that feeds you!
My belief is that Alex was acting in panic because he saw the end of his dynasty that was on his shoulders. The wife wanted wanted a divorce and his son was going down for the boat thing. Somewhere in all that he thought he had to kill them????
Still doesn't make sense
😮😢
I think he was afraid of her filing for divorce and that would have caused an investigation into his financial situation and him losing a significant amount of money and his son was causing him nothing but trouble and potentially being sued for huge amounts of money and it wasn't looking like the troubled son was going to doing anything to change his dangerous behaviors and in effect causing Alex to be in court bc of it and he didn't want any part of that! It was just easier to eliminate the problem instead of living with the potential threat of everything those two presented
Insurance policies! Times × 2!!
So, answering her question has never been cleat to him.
He knew Maggie would divorce him when she found out about his being fired for embezzlement and disbarred. She was also worth more dead to him than alive. He killed Paul to make the murders to be in vengeance for the boating accident that killed Mallory. and ya can't prosecute a dead person. Alex didn't plan on being arrested, prosecuted and convicted for murder so in his. mind, he did it bc he he had to save himself! Alex was the favored son of 3 born son which makes him ABEL. but he comes from CAIN$ roots$ which makes him. A CAIN.ABEL
Was there no life insurance on his wife / son? I always presumed that was his motive? Since he was up to his eyeballs in debt / trouble financially, I genuinely thought he murdered them for financial gain.
If he didn’t… that puts an entirely new spin on it in my mind.
There was no insurance
@@barbaramoore4028 Thank you for confirming. That was the only part I wasn’t sure on.
He inherits her assets if she dies. If she lives- and they divorce… he loses half.
With Paul out of the picture- the boat accident liability goes down.
How can you find out if your lawyers not being or being honest about money the client gets but doesn’t get transparency for themselves to know how much is issued out. The law should protect the actual client.
I think he did it for multiple reasons. Maggie was divorcing him, maybe she was going to tell what she knew. Paul was becoming a major problem for him, both financially and legally. And they both stayed after Alex over his drug habit. Getting rid of them solves a lot of problems for him.
Listen to the evidence. I easily understand.
The boat wreck was going to cost him and the divorce , both costing him money!! I don’t believe he spent that money on pills, just don’t
He couldn’t live with the SHAME or rejection from his immediate family once everything would become public. He killed them b/c he couldn’t face their rejection of him.
Paul was called “little detective”. He kept an eye on his dad’s drug use for Maggie. I believe Alex did plan to kill Maggie. He texted her earlier wanting her to come with him to visit his ill parents. I’m not sure about Paul. I wonder if Alex was arguing with Paul that night? Emotions would have been high for both he and Paul. Doubly strained for Alex if he was planning to kill Maggie. So Paul said something that caused Alex to snap and he lost his temper. Paul was messing up Alex’s plans for killing Maggie. Alex had the weapons there, he was ready, so he shot Paul. Maggie ran towards Paul,her baby, Alex shot her stopping he before she could reach Paul. However it happened it was and is horrible. Alex was a poor liar! He’s proved that over and over again!
He wanted a distraction fm producing his financial record due in a few days.
Thank you for that clear answer because his rambling wasn't an answer AT ALL.
Completely agree! I don't know that he did it. I think he knows more than he is saying but don't think the motive makes sense.
He killed his wife & son, so that the boat case would go away... therefore nobody would have a reason to go digging in his financial records. IMO
still doesn't make sense to me...
Prosecution did not prove anything. Snapchat did all the work for the prosecution
I agree, a sad story doesn't solve his problems
Love TCD💯
So why did he do it then?
Its mattao from cloud 9 ☁️🌀😂
Okay, so what was the answer!!!
Ur thinking of it logically
I still don’t get it. No info given seems to warrant AM’S justification for murdering them. On the other hand, the guy is nuts, so I guess any reason is plausible to him.
money
The title of this tik tok is misleading, he never answer the title question
Hey its Abner The Enforcer!!!!
Annnnnd....Soooo.......what do you think the motive to kill both his wife and son was?
I don't think he did it I think his family did it his testimony was clear didn't say it was only them there he said the dog didn't feel threatened by anyone that was there it was someone they knew but I don't believe it was him
Control
LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES?
Because his surname is murderer
Did he have a insurance on them ?
No. I doubt her could get a policy with his reputation. He used his umbrella policy to file for the death of his housekeeper. A couple million was supposed to go to her boys. But he kept it.
You think with all their influence the family would be on every media and social site seaking helping to find the killer(s)- if they believe he is innocent
What does she mean she doesn't understand.... It's called LIFE INSURANCE...I'm really just guessing... Shame on this, man. I can't hurt anyone that I ❤.....
Insurance policies... biggest reason of all.....
He didn’t have life insurance on them. But he had other motives.
This clip doesn’t go to motive
She has the imagination of a house brick.
life insurance
Yes I was watching the documentary but wen his wife an son wer murdered I cauldnt understand y he added them to his evil list I thought his family wer safe
Life insurance policies and directing the attention of the authorities and buying some time to formulate a new plan sounds like a pretty damn good reason to me if I was a really desperate individual with absolutely no conscious and a heavy drug addict.... Buuuuuuuuuuut..... I DO love me a good old fashioned "murder porn" so ... 🤣🤣🤣
I don't think he killed them I think he was there while a mob style killing happened infront of him to teach him a lesson from a client. I think some other murderer happened and he isn't able to tell because it makes him more guilty in somthijg esle
... so this is an argument about why we will never know? This is an argument about lawyer doublespeak? LOL nice job not illustrating a point dude.
Is this a joke
I think they had life insurance...it's always about the money n GREED.
he killed Maggie because she was going to divorce him. She had already been staying at the other house, basically alone for the most part. she also like to be closer to the beach. the housekeeper, Blanca, had gotten her to go be with Alex that day because his father had started to do bad as he was close to death. Maggie already mentioned her concern that she wanted to meet him in a public place oh, he was acting really weird and sketchy and just different and it was scaring her. They did a really good job of keeping all of this away from The Trial. He wanted to make it look like Maggie still live there and everything was fine. If Maggie would have divorced him, she would have taken half of everything he had and there's no way he could deal with that he was not addicted to opiates, he squirrel that money away somewhere. I like you shop all because it got rid of the boat incident, he couldn't be sued and have any money taken away from him or because Paul would know and he would not be able to live with the fact that he knew his dad killed his mom. I think he would have said something, unlike buster. Busters hanging in there for money or he's just being very ignorant and naive
I agree about the opiates thing.
I believe he was using, but there's no way on earth he was spending those ridiculous amounts of money on them that he claimed.
Between my ex and myself, I've never come across anyone who used like we did and the amounts he's claiming would have killed us straight up. Over n over again.
Don't k ow how he got anyone to believe that
@@RandomFknPerson there's alot of ppl who don't know enough about it except real drug addicts and who believes anything we say? Lol, I mean really? We're recovering but nobody listens to us. I don't think he took any pills at all. I think he squirled all that money away into hidden accounts, off shore, etc..
I could've used alot more if I had the money but NEVER 60 pills a day. That's outrageous! It makes me laugh bc it's so outrageous
Nope🙅🙅🙅
greed! & he wants it all for his drug needs, he wants the easy way out for everything, as he thought he can get away, over confidence
Exactly point blank period
Imagine getting 2 life sentences, with No evidence you pulled the trigger. The world we live in. Can you say guilty til proven innocent!
People are assuming it’s because of his financial problems. We don’t know the truth. Watching this makes me so sad. What a waste waste of a family that seem to really care about each other. Very sad.
His son was a menace costing him lots of legal defense money and he hated the wife because she coddled the son. So therefore she was a menace too. They didn’t fit his lifestyle 🥴
