To everything there is a season..and a time for every purpose..IMO this trial was not the time to bring out any in depth drug related issues. IMO that time is coming. Your questions and theories are valid and hopefully will be answered to everyone's satisfaction when the trial on these charges happens Alex Murdaugh charged in money laundering and drug scheme . There may be something arising in that trial that exonerates AM and may be not, we'll all just have to wait and see.
MOO
RICO charges, which no one does Alone, but often with a Group of other Criminals! Many circumstances/connections(some in prison, some dead) lead to Much more than Drugs alone. Too many have been hurt by All this. So very sad. MOO
 
Eric Allen, the person took the footage with his drone, released a video a few days ago explaining how this all came to be. He comes across as incredibly sincere. He makes a point of mentioning in the description that he did not ask for any money, nor was he offered any money for the footage. He says he took the footage on Sept 21, 2021, just a few weeks after the roadside shooting. He also states that he took more footage than what Netflix ended up using in their documentary.

I had never heard of this person prior to seeing this video, and I think he does a really good job of walking us through the very real concerns he had ("oh man, what am I seeing? What does this mean? Do I need to give LE a heads up about this? What is the right thing to do here? Should I contact the family to let them know what I have?") Apparently, Netflix contacted him because they wanted to hire him to obtain drone footage for their documentary. They did not know he had this footage at that time.

Here is the link to the video-
Edited to add that I see as least 6 guns, possible 8, being carried out of the house by JMM and Buster. When they are carrying the guns in "gun bags" (I'm unfamiliar with guns, so basically I'm describing a softsided guitar case but for guns) it looks like they both might be carrying 3 guns each.
Excellent link. I had not seen this before, and was unable to rewatch the version on Netflix, as I do not have an account of my own. Thank you so much!
 
Also, "going around to two counties" might be just Hampton and Colleton counties. There are plenty others within reasonable driving distance and if I were MM considering divorce against a powerful Murdaugh, I'd definitely be seeking an attorney at greater distance than those two counties. Otherwise, I'd fear that AM would learn about the plans for divorce before I'd even unlocked my car in the attorney's parking lot for the drive home.
If I were Maggie, I think I would avoid visiting a divorce lawyer in the local area in order to keep it quiet. I'd probably head to Charleston for that.
 
MM's will naming MP as her executor was dated 2005, not 2016. There's evidence that MM intended to revise this but never did (i.e., crossed out sister and named RM3). As the sister's relationship matured, I believe MP that MM told her everything. JMO

I don't know, I would have crossed the Sahara on my knees before admitting my marriage was a disaster to my sister. It really depends on their relationship. Some siblings are competitive, rather than friends.
 
And the question remains in my mind...How could he have done this? I look back at so many cases and wonder the same thing. Just the thought of endless days in a cell. No birthday parties. Not seeing your loved ones, taking a swim in the ocean etc..the loss of liberty! Now, besides that..his wife, HIS SON! He had to know the chances were good he would be a suspect...the main suspect. Callous, depraved and evil? It boggles my mind.
He's not the first, nor will he be the last. Christopher Watts (killed wife and two daughters) and Scott Peterson (killed 8 month pregnant wife) come to mind. Those two had other romantic involvements as a motive. Killers of family members with NO PRIOR HISTORY of any violence. Yes, it truly boggles the mind.
 
What's clear to me is that between June and Aug 2021, with all of his resources, AM could not for love nor money cobble up $800K to save his life! His killing of MM and PM was reactionary due to his own deeds and mismanagement. Remember -- this was mid-year and AM does not get paid the bulk of his earnings until December. AM relied on fast-talking his entire life to cover up a life out of control. JMO
Perfect explanation

Yes both had affairs but I don’t see the motive as that different than AM’s. Both Watt’s and Peterson could have simply asked for a divorce, instead they chose murder to hide their secret. I feel part of the reason AM killed was to hide his secret, he was threatened with exposure. moo
 
If maggie had seen an attorney about a divorce, i would think that attorney could NOT step forward and announce that. Lawyer client privilege extends beyond death. i am citing the Charles Stewart case in Massachusetts many years ago.http://masscases.com/cases/sjc/408/408mass480.html
Traumatizing that one. I live in the Boston area and it being him for so many reasons was absolutely unthinkable. He had his younger brother help him too. Devastation and horrific drama surrounded everything about that case. Stays with me.

Well, the situations are more similar that different...in that they are all *family annihilators *...with no prior history of family violence. As far as AM having a hidden romantic relationship, I think LE would have uncovered any people who may have been romantically involved with him by now. I don't see this as a motive in this case. Just my 2 cents.

Agree, I was not saying AM was having an affair. I was expressing that the starting point for Peterson and Watts was an affair, I feel the starting point for AM was his dumpster fire finances, The common factor is that all 3 were protecting their reputations, choosing what they felt was best for them, trying to hide what they were up to and that’s where the motive is the same even though the starting point was different, all 3 were trying to hide something, can substitute money problems or affair, doesn’t make any difference.
