SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #7

Don’t you think CS was paid a large sum for this assisted suicide attempt?

 

[iamthewalrus]

All I can say is his drug dealer was a terrible shot...

Just thinking about the optics here:

We have this Curtis fellow arrested on a litany of charges. Within those documents, we can see that Alex has also confessed, yet no charges have been filed.

I’m wondering if he’s in the process of spilling the beans on the rest of this sordid affair, and tomorrow we will see the culmination.

I'd be surprised if AM managed that amount of embezzled money solely. Minus Buster, the majority of is family is literally gone. He might be singing. Maybe out of desperation? Maybe because he feels he has nothing left to live for

We don't know if Maggie figured out he was on meth and that became a reason to get rid of her, but it was really Paul's death that relieved the financial pressure on AM with the hearing less than 3 days away.

Meth isn't subtle. It would be hard to cover up being a meth addict to your upper class spouse, I think.

Wow! I have missed a lot! I'm going to go make me a bowl of popcorn and go back and catch up.

SuziQ, I'm at this late tonight too! I'm making biscuits because this may last 'til morning! (Any crisis down here in the south demands biscuits!)

I think his drug dealer realized he could be charged with murder and AM was just too messy, too desperate, and this would just further set the June 7 murder investigation on fire.

Which I'm sure CES had something to do with.

 

[sunshineray]

Well it would seem that if AM admitted to a murder/suicide insurance scheme that he would be charged as well. Is he in police custody?

Ummmmm...rehab?

 

[MemPat]

ok wait wait wait...trying to catch up...all I did was take the dog outside for a few minutes and...omg....

Be very careful about taking the dogs out during this case.

I wonder if Alex worked some kind of deal like a nicer prison to spend the rest of his life.

AM's drug use may have been the reason she was living in a separate house from him....but I think Maggie was murdered because she knew something was severely amiss with their finances.

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.

Then it must be a different shooter. Margaret was gunned down with an assault rifle. A shotgun was used on Paul. Different ways of dying. Someone brought two guns to the murder scene. They were probably intended for two victims.

The suspect missed shooting Alex in the head even though Alex was posing for the bullet.

Can't be the same shooter - unless there was no conspiracy pretend suicide, but instead an attempt to portray Alex Murdaugh and family as victims of the same shooter. Someone who can kill a mother and son with two different guns can surely shoot a willing victim dead.

What's also wild is AM gave CS the gun to kill him with.
Wonder if the weapon's been recovered...

Or lying down to watch tv with your spouse!!! Hubby & I were about to try to catch up on some of our shows on the backlog when I saw the fits news article. Hopefully, this is the beginning of getting the answers that so many families associated with the M's deserve.

Good question. The warrant says the gun was disposed in an "unknown location". Wonder why he wouldn't tell them that part.

OMG LOL!
(((looks all around)))

 

[sassyblue]

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

He is dead.

 

[JaimeInLA]

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?

we know SS was killed with a blue truck. And we know that CS has a blue truck. Coincidence?

SS was killed July 8 2015

What year truck do you think CS's is?

 

[shefner]

If AM hired Eddie Smith as a shooter in the double murder in Moselle, then AM practiced a form of subconscious self-sabotage in using Smith again as the perpetrator in his own fraudulent suicide.

No idea but definitely not brand new. It has those kind of bubbly fenders and the newer model trucks all have become very square.
