"With the agency’s silence, the Murdaugh double homicide still leaves more questions than answers. Among them:

▪ Why did SLED and the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office immediately say there was no danger to the public after the killings?

▪ Why did police have one vehicle towed from the property but not both?

▪ Were the guns found at the scene used in the murders?

▪ Do police have suspects or people of interest?"

Also from this article: The files also show that one Murdaugh family lawyer called the Smith family on the day Stephen Smith was found dead, offering to represent the family for free. The family thought the offer was “weird.”

Yes, that was definitely weird. Was this a way for the M family to control this investigation as well?

Could the Holly house have been “sold”…but still be part of Murdaugh “holdings”.. sort of like the cars belonging to the law firm.

If so, it may have been a rental. It’s then possible one of the AM family was living there.

Like in this article, not about this but about a Trust.

The way I read the LE report, my first thought was that they were checking Holly St home for BM. Did BM live there? AM maybe didn’t know BM was out of town? They wanted to be sure victim’s (MM) other son was safe. With the redactions it’s hard to tell.

I also wondered about this angle myself except according to GMA interview with AM brothers, when they called BM to tell him of deaths, he was living two hours away (I guess that’s why they didn't go tell him in person that his mother and brother had been murdered).

At least this is what I think I recall. JMO.

I believe you have to notify the DMV, not actually update your driver's license with a new copy.

Exactly and LE (all squad cars included) are hooked up to DMV records. I guess whenever AM and MM sold that address, MM notified but AM did not?

Just curious: do we know where the slip & fall with housekeeper took place? Holly St ? Moselle? beach?

I think death certificates are public information? Do we know her COD?

If going by what Mr Moseley stated about house being sold “last” april. I have debated what year he meant by using last, if by chance he meant april 2021 it may not be changed in co. records. With covid 2020 property records may not be updated.


Jmo

It was sold in 2020.

It was at the Holly St house. Supposedly PM was the only one home but that may just be speculation-don’t know for sure. Settlement said “trip & fall”. Insurance paid $500,000 & $5000 medical expenses.

It’s alleged PM was only one home?!! Very intetesting.

Wonder if PM was modeling anyone in his disrespectful behavior towards women, as in way he treated girlfriend as described in depositions from boat accident survivors?

When I was a teen and dating her son, my future m-i-l always advised me: watch how a man treats his mother because that’s how he will treat his wife [significant other].

Wandering mind today. OMO.

Hampton County does has a property search website but you need a subscription account.

Yes, I am aware. Perhaps it's a new thing but, here in the South, most counties have open access to GIS mapping.

I listened to the 911 call. Boy, is that heartbreaking! Why do people have to KILL someone?! If you have a problem, pray, God will take care of it. He rules over all of us. Yes, even the Murdaughs!

I'm aware of that - I live in the South.

I have wondered the same thing.

Wouldn't PM have been at college in Columbia on February 26, 2018?

His obituary says he was a junior at USC…so I believe he would have still been in high school.

i have to correct my previous post. You are right. PM graduated in 2017. Should have started USC…Fall semester 2017.

Ok thanks, that's what I'd read also so he must have stayed back a year at some point?

Or maybe took a semester off. He could have been home second semester…2018.

The boating accident was in February 2019 - perhaps Paul missed the rest of the spring semester ?

Very true, I never thought of that

The accident was on the weekend, could have been home. The housekeeper's fall was on a Monday.
