Am I the only one who finds it a bit macabre that they held the repast at Moselle following the memorial service?
That was very strange. Isn’t that interfering with the crime scene??

As long as they didn't bring the mourners in by the kennels, I guess I can see coming back to Moselle after the burials. Perhaps the family was afraid of visitors viewing Moselle in a negative light and bringing people back to the house afterwards was a way to convince people that it's still a great place. ??!That was very strange. Isn’t that interfering with the crime scene??
Why would it be interfering with the crime scene if LE had released it back to the Murdaughs ?
Is the video linked in this article or only available on FITS??
I recall reading this early on and thinking it seemed strange that all of those people were permitted in the house. However, I’ve changed my opinion. I now think it tells us something about where the crime did and did not take place.Active investigation.
Just checking in.
I can't believe that this high profile case hasn't been solved yet.
These two victims deserve justice.
Who/where is the murderer??
Active investigation.
Their options would be limited to convincing a judge to dismiss the suit as completely unfounded.If you’re a defendant, how do you stop a civil trial that failed mediation?
I’m not an attorney. And I’d like to know, if someone wanted to, if they could drop an ongoing civil suit that is headed for trial against 2/3 of the named defendants, leaving only one.
Or would a decision not to proceed in the civil case against AM and BM, due to the family’s circumstances, end the civil case entirely for all defendants?
Who benefits from the death of PM and MM?
Excellent Cryptic!!In this case, the number of motives allows "benefit" can be broadly defined to include both tangible financial and less tangible personal benefits such as fulfilled revenge.
As a result, there could be a long list of potential benefactors. Some maybe more likely than others:
- Potential heirs of the estate
- Possible small time drug dealers attempting to collect the usual 1K drug debt
- Drugged and aggressive local low lives seeking to rob "the big house". The robbery then goes south.
- Former targets of the family's lawsuit machine.
- Former employees of the family
- People seeking revenge for the boating accident death
- People believing that SS was murdered and seeking revenge
- Attorneys associated with the law firm upset about case sharing or profit splitting.
Though I would classify this possibility as unlikely, a portion of the God Father series featured such a scenario.Thinking as maybe as an elder magdaugh might think: (this is my opinion only and my flair for the dramatic)....this boy is never going to amount to anything. He's only brought pain and misery to the family. He shouldn't be in the gene pool. He's never going to carry on the proud tradition we've spent hundreds of years building.....
Yes. Are you speaking of Fredo?Though I would classify this possibility as unlikely, a portion of the God Father series featured such a scenario.
A scion of a Mafia clan went rouge and descended into drug use. Needless and unsanctioned (key words) violence then followed.
When the violence was extended to "nice girls from good families", pay offs became harder and community tolerance of the group was put in jeopardy. So, a painful decision was made by senior members to well.... "secure the future"- in a decisive manner.
Of course, the God Father was fiction. The core scenario, however, could be plausible if distantly so.
We know we always have to ask ourselves who benefits.
I hope this doesn’t get moved to the MB forum, bc I do think some overlap is necessary when we want to discuss motive.
It was repeated often in the early days after the murders that the criminal case against PM would obviously be dropped but the civil case would continue.
I always felt that wording was slightly off, and should have been that the civil case “could” continue. We have no idea how a parent who lost her own child will choose to proceed now that the Murdaugh family has experienced this horrible tragedy, losing two family members including a child themselves and in such a violent way. I would never dare try to put myself in the shoes of MB’s mother.
If you’re a defendant, how do you stop a civil trial that failed mediation?
There are 3 defendants in the civil trial. Two of them are immediate family of the murder victims. I can not fathom that either AM or BM committed this crime against their loved ones.
I’m not an attorney. And I’d like to know, if someone wanted to, if they could drop an ongoing civil suit that is headed for trial against 2/3 of the named defendants, leaving only one. (Especially when the one was in the process of trying to get others, like PM, added- apparently) Or would a decision not to proceed in the civil case against AM and BM, due to the family’s circumstances, end the civil case entirely for all defendants?
Who benefits from the death of PM and MM?
ALL MY OPINION ONLY
I would like to know more about the dynamics within the immediate family.
Reading PM's obit and listening to the eulogy, IMO there was a concerted, dare I say calculated effort to depict him as the sweetest, most fun loving guy one could ever meet.
Talking about MM's pronunciation of the word "picture", was that a "Bless her heart" moment?
Both promptly cremated and a large number of people invited to the property that contains the crime scene shortly thereafter, things that make you go hmmm IMO.
I might be. I cant remember the name of the character.Yes. Are you speaking of Fredo?
