I still think MM was the only one who was supposed to die. Anybody else think that?

Yes. The whole thing was bumbled. JMO

This part of the affidavit is very interesting…

So wait AM's "personal drug dealer" arrested for meth and weed but no opioids? I'm sure they searched his home by now. So what, AM is a meth head!?

SLED charges man with assisted suicide in Alex Murdaugh shooting for $10m insurance payout


https://www.islandpacket.com/news/local/crime/article254249463.html

Do you think "assisted suicide" is just what they're willing to admit to right now, when the actual intention of that incident was to make it look like "killers" are still after the Murdaughs?

Alex Murdaugh Shooting Was Botched Assisted Suicide, Cops Say

 

[MerryB]

It's strange to me that if he had Maggie and Paul killed he tries to have Buster set up with money by offing himself.Does he care about B but hated Paul?Strange.

It’s also strange that the answer to every problem for him is an insurance claim. MOO

I'm getting Bob Bashara vibes from this arrest... Anyone else?

Ah, Bob! What a pleasant memory! Gonna have to google and see how he's doing!

I will probably be up till 3am! Ugh. I need to move back up north lol.

It’s going to take me that long to catch this thread, it’s scrolling like slots.

 

[LotusPawprint]

Wow...has me wondering what else CES may have his hand in. If what I'm thinking were true, CES in agreeing to shoot AM, it could possibly be getting rid of a witness or co-conspirator to other crimes? I suppose that might be a good talking point to convince someone to assist with your suicide?

Same thoughts here.
What would Curtis Eddie get out of helping AM kill himself - his "assisted suicide" was not exactly a Kevorkian act of empathy.

 

[sun16]

Drugs, fraud at work, whatever else, and AM kept making beyond poor decisions with the assisted suicide attempt. Why should we think he won’t keep making poor decisions? I don’t see a guy like AM surviving in jail.

METH?!?!

Wow. That explains why Alex was like “I am addicted to prescription painkillers” and all of us were like, “ok sure AleC!”

Doing prescription painkillers is a much more respectable drug addiction than buying meth from a dealer!!

Now, I will say that on the surface, this guy isn't what I'd call a mastermind dealer.

However, good dealers (A- are not users) and I know of many who deal with many business professionals. They're not out on the street slangin' and you know what else. They sell everything. Meth, oxy, H, pills, ecstasy, coke, etc...

Now, this guy may be some backwoods <modsnip> dealer but there is a huge demand AND supply of dealers that cater to the professional crowd with anything you really want whether that's schedule I, II or other

While I frown on AM for the known actions he's been involved in. I'm not going to bash him because of "which drug" he was addicted to.

I don't know about MM & PM but right now it looks like he just wanted to die and for his son to get the money from his death. I don't he's in his right mind and I hope there will be more light shed on the MM/PM for clarity

 

[sunshineray]

I would have loved to be a bug on the wall in the room where detectives took AM apart in the interview process......

So did they go to rehab and talk to him? Is he really not in rehab?

Or maybe the whole sketch episode on Monday that his lawyer said he participated in that turned out a not very likeable and un-realease-able shooter sketch...was that when AM spilled his guts to SLED about CES? Then off you go to undisclosed "rehab" until we catch this guy?

Edited by me:
Total brain fart on this...as you can see...that was before the suicide shooting...sorry

It’s also strange that the answer to every problem for him is an insurance claim. MOO

He knows that business. Like Milken and bonds.

 

[skyedaze]

So Alex is the one who confessed.

What a big baby

 

[Herat]

If he was willing to set up this scenario to give BM a good life, I think this makes the SS death look more and more like it was a hit set up to get BM out of some trouble, and I think it's possible AM set that up with CES, too.

What was that other information or evidence found in the June 7 double murder investigation that was linked to SS's death?

 

[DeDee]

Drugs, fraud at work, whatever else, and AM kept making beyond poor decisions with the assisted suicide attempt. Why should we think he won’t keep making poor decisions? I don’t see a guy like AM surviving in jail.

Why not? He's guilty of getting a drug addled relative to help kill him so his only son would become a multimillionaire. He's rotten to the core.

My mom said, "If you'll lie, you'll steal. If you'll steal, you'll kill." I've always believed in my mother's wisdom.

 

[skyedaze]

They interviewed Alex yesterday and got the confession so I’m very surprised he wasn’t arrested too. Hmm. I suspect that’ll be coming shortly.

Now I can’t wait to see how the murders tie into this.

Well no wonder there were rumors of his arrest previously.

 

[Herat]

Do we thing CES is the Good Samaritan, too?

 

[sunshineray]

No. PM was facing 20 years in prison and his antics were about to cost the family millions and millions of dollars. He was an embarrassment and a liability.

Well if AM planned this death, his own, what is the likelihood that he could have planned another a few months ago before he was sooo very desperate? I think he was truly shocked by PM's. It's all just a feeling I'm having.
