It has a date upside down on bottom right along with the word "FAX". I'm thinking it was either faxed to or from the Beaufort Pharmacy on 9-10-2021

JMM said on GMA he knew PM was getting threats on SM but didn't think it anything serious. Then he said maybe he was wrong in not taking it seriously.

Anyone have any thoughts on the info that MM had at least one shot in the back?
Intentionally done so as not to see her reaction or just by necessity because she was fleeing?
It only made me more convinced MM was the target and whomever shot her either wasn't as good a shot as they thought, maybe emotions got in the way, or they weren't as quiet and invisible as needed and startled her to run.
Such a difference in the way the two victims were shot. One had to be spur of the moment. To me a semi-automatic assault rifle is not a spur of the moment type gun. A shotgun seems a more casual and easier accessible weapon to have around a home.
Maybe Paul did come running from the house with the shotgun after hearing shots and dogs going crazy. He could have thought there were some fools hunting on Murdaugh property in the dark, too close the the living areas and maybe shooting at the dogs.

I'm wondering if SLED examined AM for injuries. Did he get into an altercation with PM over the shotgun? JMO.

To me the pharmacy text (upside-down) looks like what a FAX machine might print on an arriving document as it comes through the machine. Someone probably faxed a copy of the death certificate at some point and it ended up with this text, unrelated to the DC. Look closely — the word FAX is part of the text.
What REALLY interests me about the DC is the area where injury information should be noted. Was death a result of injury? Did injury occur at place of work? Etc.

But if AM knew PM was home why would he take the chance to shoot MM on the property? IMHO, logic would dictate AM would only commit the murders on his own (vast) property if he knew for certain no one else was in the house or on the property.

The shot to his head also hit his arm so yes maybe either in a struggle barely holding on or lost control and started raising his arm to protect himself? Shot in the chest first while holding onto the gun? Then that would make that second shot through his arm to his head very much cold-hearted overkill.
It's all so horrible to think about.

The only thing I can think of is that Paul wasn’t there during her murder, and wasn’t supposed to be there after.
What if Maggie was told Alex was going to take Grandaddy M to the hospital and so she decided to stay at Moselle to be close by. In reality Alex was there, unbeknownst to her.
She was ambushed and hunted in the dark with the AR-15 that is now unaccounted for.
Alex left, disposed of Maggie’s phone as he drove away, and threw the murder weapon in the Salkehatchie River along his route as he headed to his parents’ house in Varnville.
When he returned to Moselle to “discover” Maggie’s body, he found Paul had come home unexpectedly. Paul got to the scene, which had not been completely manipulated yet in a way that would not implicate Alex (not sure what this might be, but I think there had to be some reason Alex couldn’t just play along and call 911 at that point). Paul had grabbed a nearby shotgun and a struggle ensued.
That’s the only way I can make that scenario work. MOO

Has anyone noted that there was a third party at the scene of the murders, redacted from the police report? WHO ELSE WAS THERE? It also appears that AMs address was Holly St, while MMS and PMs was Moselle. I thought it was confirmed that MM was living at the Edisto house.

I think MM was actually living in Edisto at the beach house not at Moselle. It's possible PM was also staying with her? Or he could have been staying with one of his uncles? Maybe his Mom was asked to be at Moselle and she texted PM? Could have been just a hey I'm going to go talk to your Dad later, you want to come stay at the beach tonight, so PM showed up unexpected?

Probably the addresses on their driver's licenses?

Murdaugh Murders: Attorneys Try To Block Subpoena For Alex’s Medical Records After ‘Shooting’
On Thursday, PMPED attorneys formally dropped Alex and Buster as clients in the Mallory Beach wrongful death lawsuit.
The move is another public action taken by officials at the firm to sever ties with Alex Murdaugh.
On the same day PMPED dropped Alex and Buster Murdaugh as clients, partners at the Hampton, South Carolina firm posted a long message on its website declaring their distance between themselves and Alex Murdaugh.
Eta.
The Murdaughs are still being represented by two attorneys hired by the only insurance company that has not denied them coverage in the lawsuit. Three other insurance companies have denied them coverage.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - South Carolina law enforcement officials say their investigation of the Murdaugh double murder case has led to the discovery of other crimes.
They didn’t say what those crimes were.

However many other crimes they uncover, there are more.
It's like someone who has five DUIs, which sounds bad but it's really far worse. It doesn't mean they only drove drunk five times in their life, that's just how many times they were caught.

Logically, you are correct. But AM was probably acting erratically at that point.
He was under enormous pressure---he could NOT allow MM to trigger that forensic audit. Time was up for him to get it done and take her down.
And he was possibly on meth/opiates and booze at the time. Perhaps he thought he could shoot her out by the kennels and get away quickly, before PM could come out to investigate, if he even would do so.
When my kids were that age,m they usually had iPods plugged into their ears and were totally focused on other things---might not have even noticed a ruckus going on outside. Maybe AM hoped that would be the case?
I remember hearing that after AM called 911, he called his brother. Perhaps, once again, the Good Samaritan brother (brothers?) of AM got there very early, before police did??
