Looks like Alex Murdaugh didn’t have a drug problem for 20 years, but a drug smuggling problem
…JMO
I’m thinking
the potential for AM having been involved with alleged drug smugglers gives us something else to consider related to the June murders. JMO
One of my first thoughts when folks were saying it seemed like PM was the target (with brutal, rage-filed shotgun blasts in his face) and MM seemingly collateral, was that PM who used drugs, had maybe done more than use and had gotten into the underworld or in over his head. (We do know he used from boating accident depositions.)
While I wondered about this with PM, I was still open to other older and younger men in family being involved in murder, esp AM, and when some sleuthers thought they heard AM crying to a deceased Paul during 911 recording, we learned MM wanted an audit, and then things broke over Labor Day, I basically put aside the PM target theory.
BUT now this drug stuff opens other ideas … someone who was partnered for many years with rumored drug runners might have gotten in over
his head … an unhappy dealer, someone in organized crime or a gang, or a dissatisfied customer might have wanted to punish AM, retaliate, or give him a warning. Even with “Bowevils” dead, I imagine those lonely island shores are still in demand by certain other seafaring “business men.”
With all the character flaws we have noted for AM, I can’t see him actually pulling the trigger on his wife and child, but if MM had started to get suspicious and/or ask questions, maybe some off-shore associates might have been all too happy to help AM squelch that potential problem.
EDIT: Reading on after posting this,
yes maybe PM had gotten involved. Additionally, with BM now have signing rights for his dad, who knows, maybe there was a family business with the two adult males, and a younger brother with impulse control wanted to get involved?
Lots of ways to consider this now.
I guess I am rambling a bit — just some musings.
MOO, MOO!
