Um, my mom's a late-stage
Alzheimer's patient.

When she does, I went to check on them.

When I got back to the house,

95
00:04:14,546 --> 00:04:17,007
obviously nobody was there.

96
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,633
And Maggie's a dog lover.

She fools with the dogs.

98
00:04:20,927 --> 00:04:23,054
And I knew she'd gone to the kennels.

99
00:04:23,847 --> 00:04:26,057
I figured they're still up there
fooling around.

100
00:04:26,141 --> 00:04:28,602
So I came back up here,

101
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:31,605
I drove up and saw, and called.

102
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:34,691
[Owen] So you didn't go
to the kennels before then?

20, 25 minutes or so.

Nobody was there. I called Maggie.

No answer.

110
00:04:52,709 --> 00:04:53,794

112
00:04:55,879 --> 00:04:58,882

to go straighten up the house

00:08:14,536 --> 00:08:16,371

180
00:08:16,454 --> 00:08:17,706
[softly] Yeah.

181

While you're there, Roger Davis,

Would you mind looking after Bubba?

184
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:27,799
Just until we get everything sorted.

Don't you worry about a thing.

188

To the hospital.

Somebody's gotta tell Daddy.

Oh, I can go, Alec.

198
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:04,586
Thanks, Randy, but I...
I think I should be the one to do it.

199

We don't know, Daddy.

We think it might have something to do
with Paw-Paw's boat wreck.

This is where the murder happened.

243

The Murdaugh property is remote.

244
00:11:55,006 --> 00:11:58,551
It spans hundreds of acres,
and the feeling in the community,

245
00:11:58,635 --> 00:12:00,678
whoever killed the Murdaughs

246
00:12:00,762 --> 00:12:04,557
didn't end up here
by accident or randomly.

Two guns, probably two shooters.

Maybe two shooters.

It's a spread.

No one heard or saw anything unusual.

Vaguely. Vaguely.

-Well, it was a huge deal.

Could be someone from the girl's family,

were found Monday evening

at a home along the 4100 block
of Moselle Road.

of 19-year-old Mallory Beach.

00:28:27,372 --> 00:28:28,874
How long was Alec over at Almeda?

527
00:28:28,957 --> 00:28:31,752
Fifteen minutes.

528
00:28:31,835 --> 00:28:33,212
Twenty minutes at the most.

529
00:28:34,296 --> 00:28:35,881
That's what I told Mr. Alec.

530
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,093
[Rutland] Alec talked to you about this.
What did he have to say?

531
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:43,931
[Shelley] He said that it was longer
than I remembered.

532
00:28:44,014 --> 00:28:46,725
Did he pressure you to lie about this?

533
00:28:46,808 --> 00:28:50,771
He just said that it was
more like 45 minutes,

534
00:28:50,854 --> 00:28:53,482
and then he offered to help
pay for my wedding.

the Murdaugh men up to at the hospital

that killed Mallory Beach?

Where are the murder weapons
that killed Maggie and Paul?

take such brutal matters

00:46:23,030 --> 00:46:25,574
We have video footage
from the nearby church,

872
00:46:25,658 --> 00:46:27,493
which shows his truck and your SUV

873
00:46:27,576 --> 00:46:29,912
and corroborates his story.

874
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:32,665
I wanna talk to my lawyer.

875
00:46:32,748 --> 00:46:34,166
We'll leave you two to discuss

876
00:46:34,250 --> 00:46:36,669
and we'll be on standby
for more formal questioning.

877
00:46:43,134 --> 00:46:45,177
Dad, what are they...
What are they talkin' about?

878
00:46:45,261 --> 00:46:46,804
Listen, Buster...

879
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:50,474
I've been all torn up since...

880
00:46:52,393 --> 00:46:55,730
Well, since what happened
to your mama and Paw-Paw.

881
00:46:58,566 --> 00:47:00,151
I'm hooked on pills.

882

Well, I just thought...

884
00:47:05,823 --> 00:47:07,325
I could do something for you.

885
00:47:09,660 --> 00:47:13,456
I got this insurance policy
for my Buster boy.

886

How you doing, sir? Tony Satterfield.

888
00:47:23,382 --> 00:47:24,383
Hey.

889
00:47:24,467 --> 00:47:26,844
Um, you were helping
Mallory Beach's family, right?

890
00:47:26,927 --> 00:47:28,095
I was, yeah.

891
00:47:28,179 --> 00:47:31,682
I was wondering if maybe you could
help me with something too, um...

892
00:47:32,308 --> 00:47:34,852
My mom, Gloria,
she used to work for the Murdaughs.

893
00:47:34,935 --> 00:47:37,146
Of course, yeah. A tragic thing.

894
00:47:37,229 --> 00:47:38,773
Thank you, sir.

895
00:47:38,856 --> 00:47:41,817
My brother and me,
we're having some trouble

896
00:47:41,901 --> 00:47:44,820
getting ahold of Mr. Alec
over an insurance settlement

897
00:47:45,404 --> 00:47:46,572
over her dying.

898
00:47:48,866 --> 00:47:50,743
What kind of trouble exactly?

899
00:47:52,661 --> 00:47:56,624
Yesterday, I'm puttering around the house
doing odds and ends,

900
00:47:56,707 --> 00:48:00,252
and my phone rings, and it's SLED.

901
00:48:01,712 --> 00:48:04,840
After they questioned me
back in June about the murders,

902
00:48:04,924 --> 00:48:08,469
I thought, "Oh Lord, buckle up.
Here we go again."

903
00:48:08,552 --> 00:48:11,097
But it wasn't about none of that.

Said with all the, um, reporting

905
00:48:15,935 --> 00:48:18,813

[whimpers]

907
00:48:21,607 --> 00:48:24,527
They're gonna finally
reopen Stephen's case.

908
00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:26,862
What?

909
00:48:26,946 --> 00:48:29,615

-Sandy, are you serious?

910
00:48:30,408 --> 00:48:31,575
That's incredible.

911
00:48:31,659 --> 00:48:33,411
-That's terrific.
-It's you.

912
00:48:33,494 --> 00:48:36,163
-You did it.
-No, no, we did it.

Hey. Um, I won't keep you.

919
00:48:48,884 --> 00:48:50,553
Congrats on the podcast, by the way.

920
00:48:50,636 --> 00:48:54,849
Um, just wanted to put a bug
in your ear about something.

921
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:57,393
Yeah, what's that?

922
00:48:57,476 --> 00:49:00,813
An insurance settlement
over Gloria Satterfield's death.

923
00:49:03,232 --> 00:49:04,316
What about it?

924
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:05,943
I was hoping we could figure that out.

925
00:49:06,026 --> 00:49:09,071
[Alex] "I'm resigning from the law firm
and entering rehab"

926
00:49:09,155 --> 00:49:12,992
"after a long battle that has been
exacerbated by these murders."

927
00:49:13,075 --> 00:49:15,744
I'm immensely sorry to everyone I've hurt,

"including my family, friends,
and colleagues.

929
00:49:20,207 --> 00:49:24,295
I ask for prayers as I rehabilitate myself
and my relationships."

930
00:49:26,755 --> 00:49:28,340
Real dignified, Alec.

931
00:49:29,049 --> 00:49:30,134
Well done.

932
00:49:31,343 --> 00:49:32,428
Thanks, bo.

933
00:49:34,180 --> 00:49:35,473
But I didn't write it.

934
00:49:35,556 --> 00:49:36,849
I did.

935
00:49:37,933 --> 00:49:41,020
Well, it's real nice all the same.

936
00:49:52,406 --> 00:49:54,492
You go get yourself cleaned up,
though, brother.

937
00:49:55,576 --> 00:49:57,870
I will, okay. [clears throat]

938
