Witness to SS demise?A witness to what?
Witness to SS demise?A witness to what?
Why would PM and the widespread Murdaugh machine of lawyers, LE and judges be so intimidated by two tuffs, who if what you think is true, thought it a bit of homophobic fun to hit the gay guy walking on the side of the road in the head with a baseball bat from their moving car?I was not thinking past my observations of Maggie and Paul. I was floored that it could be so simple. Shoot them to silence them before they could finalize a deal with LE. If there was no physical evidence to link the two to SS, but for Paul’s or Buster’s testimony, it would be a great move on their part. To answer your question, I don’t know. But I doubt Alec Murdaugh did not know that his sons were involved in SS death. But maybe Alec told his wife to stop covering for the boy and she did not listen. He may have heard the threats and/or been threatened himself. Alec thought he could legally or through connections beat the boating tragedy. Maggie was not so sure and did not want to risk Paul going to jail. It must have come out that Maggie was trying to keep Paul out of jail, by turning informant. The two SS males did not want to take the chance so they offed Maggie and Paul. Alec might have missed the party bc he was late. But he gets it now. I doubt he will ever pursue the shooters. His reward is a smoke screen. They know that he knows who they are. He knows that they know he knows who they are. That’s why the reward is to be administered through the law firm and not LE. And has such a short window. He’s making sure they get away with the murders.
This may get deleted but I’d have had PM’s butt living out of town.... It’s amazing the people who get addicted to being a big fish in a small town.
I live in a Welfare home. I was taken away from my Grandparents move interstate place in a pretty horrible place( They stated on my file I placed there under the state welfare act of 1949, which did not exist in 2010 I recieved an apology and compersation) the treatment was shocking. Many teenage girls if they did not have a drink or drug problem afterwards did or even years later. They could not speak in what happen it took late 1980's,as who would believe them. Today, I know a support group where people in homes and orphanages from the 1950's onwards so many have recovered from heavy drinking problems and anti social behaviour leading to prison in their lives.
Maybe Paul in younger life could never match up to family reputation leading to problems. IMO
Back in the day a wealthy and connected family like the Murdaughs would have had wealthy and connected friends through out the country. They'd have sent PM to another state/region for school under the watchful eye of another family. I bet the Murdaughs were afraid if PM left their area of influence harm would come to him because their name would not mean much out of state.I think earlier generations of the dynasty would have done just that-
Declared PM to be well loved by the family, but objectively realized that he was very uhmm...... "problematic" and was eventually going to create a problem that could not be fixed discretely.
Thus, PM moves to New Orleans (same coastal culture) and is set up as being the quasi owner of a night club, or well, strip joint or two.
In the end, however, whether the dynasty is royal, political, business etc., there eventually comes a generation where the heirs no longer have the objective thinking skills of the founder. Yet, they are (as you noted) accustomed to receiving the historical privelages given the founder.
Add in a stress event that they dont have the skills to objectively handle, and the core stress event can snowball. This then exacerbate other stress factors.
In the case of Russia's Romanov dynasty and Czar Nicholas, the core stress event that exacerbated other stressors was WWI. For the Ms it was probably PM.
Whoa! Something must have come out while I was out of town! Has more news come out about the housekeeper's death? And Paul was involved? Thanks!This may get deleted but I’d have had PM’s butt living out of town after the housekeeper had her “accident”. Especially after SS. Go live elsewhere. It’s amazing the people who get addicted to being a big fish in a small town.
I’m still curious about the arson fire. When last the story was reported on, it appeared that a local contractor had been apprehended. The crime involved splashing flammable liquid on furniture and interior walls, but IIRC the fire was set on a doormat. Not exactly a crackerjack arsonist…was he?
Still that must have caused a great deal of inconvenience to the M family. Has anyone ever been able to find out how it was resolved? Did the accused go to trial? Or was the blame just….hung on him…and then, somehow it all went away?
Wonder why MM & AM sold this place. Seems like it would be closer to office for commuting but maybe they only had it for convenience when boys were going to local public schools.
I can only find one tiny article mentioning it, no follow-up?I’m still curious about the arson fire. When last the story was reported on, it appeared that a local contractor had been apprehended.

No enemies-no one who would want to harm them. I forgot about that arson.I have wondered if this was a retaliatory act by someone who had a reason to be angry at owners.

Or decided arson was a message?
Just thinking about after dousing the rooms with accelerant the arson lights the doormat on fire to start it? Why? Was someone feeling like a doormat?

BM was on the roster for the varsity baseball and basketball teams at Wade Hampton High School in Hampton County in 2013/14 (his statistics can be found online), so I do believe the boys did attend public school, at least at some points in their education.In Hampton County, they would have attended the private school, not the public school. When I lived in SC (1988-1998), the public schools in the rural coastal counties were an absolute mess. Parents who wanted their children to have an effective (and safe) education all sent their kids to private schools.
Edited to add: I don't know when they moved from Hampton County to Colleton County. The boys may have attended high school in Colleton County, but the same remarks would apply.
There was a follow up 0f sorts. Someone posted the newspaper quote on the earlier threads. But whether that person stood trial, charges were dropped, that has yet to be uncovered. It just seemed to go away.I can only find one tiny article mentioning it, no follow-up?

Someone sprays the inside your house (broke in?) with flammables and sets it on fire and charges are dropped, not prosecuted, in the county of your family's strength...hummmI think I did see were charges dropped? Or something to that effect.
