No. The spa is in a shopping center called The Summit, which is in the city of Birmingham. She lived in (and was allegedly abducted from) the city of Hoover (which is a suburb of Birmingham), and the Hoover PD has been heading up the investigation.

I agree that there seems to be some gaps in the timeline. She got off work at 8:20 then went to Taziki’s at the Colonnade, which is only 10 or so minutes away from where she works at the Summit. Taziki’s closes at 9 and that location is unlikely to have been busy that late on a Thursday night...

Paul was charged with one felony count of BUI causing death and two felony counts of BUI causing great bodily injury. It is not correct to state that he was not charged in connection with Mallory Beach’s death. Man charged in fatal boat crash that killed Mallory Beach

I don't know, but his son was criminally charged in Mallory Beach's death, and there is nothing but rumor connecting him to the death of the housekeeper. I suspect most of the money was spent on their fairly lavish lifestyle, his opioid addiction, and what have to be quite significant attorneys...

My point is that Nancy's commentary is incorrect. Both Murdaugh and the firm said he resigned. Again, I'm sure the firm would have taken steps to separate Murdaugh had he not agreed to resign, but he did agree to resign, so they didn't have to do that.

Both the firm's and Murdaugh's public statements say that Murdaugh resigned, so I'm not sure what her point is. Obviously I'm sure the firm would have taken action against Murdaugh (under whatever process is provided under its partnership agreement) to force him out, but technically, it sounds...

Perhaps. It just seems like odd timing and, as Cryptic said above, it seems like a weak suit anyway.

I'm curious about the timing of the potential civil suit by Connor Cook. Even if he's correct that law enforcement was improperly influenced/involved in a conspiracy to make it appear that Connor might have been the one driving the boat, why would be bring this action now? I could see him...

Where did you see that the police were called at 2:45? I see at the link above that the police contacted the coast guard at 2:49, but not sure when the police were called. In any event, the most likely scenario is that this little boy was pulled out by a rip current. We have vacationed just...

It sounds like she knows others in the Murdaugh family (I'm guessing maybe Alex's siblings or parents), just not Paul and Maggie.

It is likely the party hosts were "dropped" from the lawsuit because they settled out of court. There were several other defendants also "dropped" from the suit, likely due to settlements. Also, it is highly unlikely that there was some plan to add Paul as a defendant later. They would have...

I read the deposition excerpts from the civil case that were linked further upthread. According to Morgan Doughty's deposition, only three of the boat passengers (Mallory Beach, her boyfriend Anthony Cook, and Paul) were thrown from the boat. The other three stayed in the boat. This isn't...

Yes, I think that's correct. The state can't criminally prosecute a dead person. But the civil suit for money damages against AM or even Paul's estate (not sure who the defendant(s) are in the civil case) can still go forward.

I have college aged kids, and our experience has been that the apartment complexes make them sign a 12 month lease, even though most of the kids go home for the summer. So the kids may live at home during the summer, but still have their apartment at school. I'm left to wonder if someone was...

What is the difference between 1st and 3rd degree rape under NY law? I'm trying to understand that the jury believed occurred on that charge.

It will be interesting to see if we learn more from this hearing about what happened. Hearing set for man facing abuse of corpse charges in Paighton Houston case

This updated article indicates that the coroner has confirmed that there was no evidence of trauma to PH (not just no trauma that led to her death). Is also says a rape kit was performed and sent to the lab. It sounds like they don't have results from that yet. Jefferson Co. Coroner rules...

BBM We don't know if police looked for a second black man or not. They may have found him very quickly, just as they did FH, and so did not need to enlist the public's help in finding him. The second black man could be the person who provided the information that led to FH. We just don't...

I don't know. I think it depends on what you mean by "heavy set." If you mean overweight, then no, he definitely does not appear particularly heavy set. But if you mean of a stocky build, I think one could describe him as heavy set. He's not slim. In any event, regardless of whether the...

The timing of the attorney's public statement in this instance suggests that he was not hired "right out of the gate," but instead was hired after rampant social media accusations and speculation regarding the coworker/friend.
