SC - Paul Murdaugh & mom Margaret Found Shot To Death - Alex Murdaugh Accused - Islandton #33

[Carolina Girl]

If he used this blue raincoat, why would he hide it at his parents? Why not just destroy it or throw it out, as people suggest he did with the guns.

If I can ever explain why these murderers do what they do, I am in trouble.

Funny how John Marvin has morphed into Alex.......crazy.

A coat no one recognizes from "back on the property" or in a junk closet, which had GSR but no blood splatter, tissue, bone, hair on it.

THIS is the state's evidence? It relates to nothing.

SLED left brains and pieces of skull at the scene? Dear Me.

Seems several people, including JMM's LE buddy, thought this was related to the boat accident.

MMs phone was 1/2 mile from house.

oozing with reasonable doubt.

Reasonable doubt about what though?

 

[Where's Mom?]

Exactly! None of this changes the fact that Alex was there at the time of the murders and nobody else was.

I only started watching this so-called trial this week. After hearing the brother cleaned up the crime scene, and Alex lied about being there just before the shooting, for me, all bets are off. My suspicions were that Alex hired a couple of hit men and set the son and mother up. The fact there were two shooters, means they lilely anticipated two victims. Add that to the coverup of a boat accident, the housekeepers trip and fall and ultimate fatality, a dead young man on a highway that was known to the family, and all of the stealing and lying and coverups, this is just one big rabbit hole, or somebody had enough of this family and snapped.

In spite of JMM’s emotions about the murders, which I believe is mostly about losing Paul, I think he’s been way too coached with all these answers … I’m not convinced that he is telling the truth at all. It’s so hard for me to believe he doesn’t REALLY know who murdered MM and PM and it’s frustrating that he would stand by his brother.

 

[Minordetails]

John Marvin is a happy little family apologist and schmoozer.

Maybe, but on the other hand JM could be telling the truth. JM might actually be a good guy.
It is too difficult to comprehend that Alex may have been a great father and generally a good husband right up until the moment that he wasn’t?

 

[Gardenista]

So he got rid of the guns, he got rid of the shirt he's wearing earlier in the day, but decided to hang on to the raincoat?

sounds like it. Shelley came across to me as very truthful

The ol Murdaugh Amnesia flaring it's ugly head again!

I personally think he had someone else gets rid of the guns. I believe they were brought to Almeda and later discarded. JMO

The sleeze-factor from this guy is off the charts

It was a very expensive raincoat, he was too cheap to throw that away and had no idea there would be GSR on it or that it would ever be looked for there IMO.

Not many believe there were two shooters, consensus is that Alex used 2 guns to give that impression. The brother cleaned up after they were done with the investigation. It is not a LE’s responsibility to clean up a crime scene. moo

Law Enforcement does not clean up after crimes. Once they release the scene, it is up to the family to clean up whatever is left.
My ex-husband's uncle was murdered in his home and the family hired a clean up crew from the midwest to come and clean up the scene once law enforecement released it.
MOO - but I can hardly see any of the M family cleaning up after a crime scene.

He sure called a lot of people that night though didn't he...makes one think

 

[Katrinepa]

The judge already implied he'd let it in if it was a more recent occurrence and I believe the state does have something more recent.

Even so, if true, no way he spent all that stolen money on a woman. Many millions, which leads me to Gambling, and there are plenty of Underground groups, Mobs of differing origin, etc., that have been 'in business' for generations. This story has so many tenacles, it could go on forever, and I'd bet that even after the Trial is over, some news/writers/investigator/media will continue to look into parts to sensationalize it for $$. People that live there, and may not even know this family may end up being affected by all the hullaballoo.
