Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,214 --> 00:00:08,925
- Money, position, power...
2
00:00:09,008 --> 00:00:12,178
The Murdaughs have had control
of Hampton County
3
00:00:12,262 --> 00:00:14,347
for close to a century.
4
00:00:14,431 --> 00:00:17,726
- Where the Murdaughs go,
death seems to follow.
5
00:00:22,522 --> 00:00:23,857
- Maggie and Paul Murdaugh
6
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:25,984
were shot to death
execution style.
7
00:00:26,067 --> 00:00:27,610
No suspects have been named,
8
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:30,113
and no arrests
have been made in that case.
9
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:31,656
- Good evening, everybody.
10
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:33,509
Andrew Davis out here
in Hampton County right now
11
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:36,953
with the story that really
everybody is talking about.
12
00:00:37,036 --> 00:00:42,584
Alex Murdaugh called 911
to say he had been shot.
13
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:44,186
- Someone's going
through great distances
14
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:45,670
to punish this family.
15
00:00:45,754 --> 00:00:49,132
They didn't think Maggie
and Paul were enough.
16
00:00:49,215 --> 00:00:55,597
- Many people thought that this
was the act of some vigilante.
17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,891
- Overnight, South Carolina
law enforcement
18
00:00:57,974 --> 00:00:59,434
announcing an arrest.
19
00:00:59,517 --> 00:01:01,144
- Law enforcement
now believes Murdaugh
20
00:01:01,227 --> 00:01:03,438
conspired
with Curtis "Eddie" Smith
21
00:01:03,521 --> 00:01:07,525
to kill him as part
of an insurance fraud scheme.
22
00:01:07,609 --> 00:01:09,152
- Every single part of it,
23
00:01:09,235 --> 00:01:11,321
everything that Alex
said that day
24
00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:13,031
ended up being a hoax.
25
00:01:13,114 --> 00:01:17,494
- It was like a domino effect,
one right after the other.
26
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:19,287
What else has he done?
27
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:13,967
Jimmy, where's Griffin?
28
00:02:14,050 --> 00:02:15,385
Jim!
29
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:21,140
- I was with him
that morning he was shot.
30
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,812
In his mind,
he was ready to give up.
31
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:29,816
I said, "You know, Alex,
there's an end to this,
32
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:31,568
"and there's a life beyond this.
33
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:33,820
"And you need to be here
for your family,
34
00:02:33,903 --> 00:02:36,406
"and Buster loves you,
and, you know,
35
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:37,907
we all support you 100%."
36
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:41,452
And he told me that he had
an opioid addiction
37
00:02:41,536 --> 00:02:44,664
and that he had been struggling
with it for many, many years
38
00:02:44,747 --> 00:02:46,374
and it was very expensive.
39
00:02:50,211 --> 00:02:52,672
- Alex Murdaugh's speaking
for the first time in weeks,
40
00:02:52,755 --> 00:02:55,216
this time
from a Savannah hospital bed.
41
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,886
The patriarch of the family
making big decisions
42
00:02:57,969 --> 00:03:00,179
as he recovers
from a gunshot wound.
43
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:02,265
"The murders
of my wife and son have caused
44
00:03:02,348 --> 00:03:04,434
"an incredibly difficult time
in my life.
45
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:07,812
"I've made a lot of decisions
that I truly regret.
46
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:10,023
"I'm resigning from my law firm
47
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:12,317
"and entering rehab
after a long battle
48
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,612
that's been exacerbated
by these murders."
49
00:03:15,695 --> 00:03:17,989
- After Alex was shot,
first thing he did
50
00:03:18,072 --> 00:03:21,576
was admit that he had an opioid
addiction and a problem
51
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:24,495
and then went immediately
to rehab.
52
00:03:35,465 --> 00:03:37,175
- Is he going home
with you guys?
53
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:44,474
- The murder of his son
and wife 90 days ago
54
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:46,809
took a tremendous toll on him.
55
00:03:46,893 --> 00:03:48,853
Most people couldn't
get through that.
56
00:03:48,937 --> 00:03:51,981
He got through it
with the use of opioids.
57
00:03:53,399 --> 00:03:55,985
- That hole, that void
just keeps getting bigger,
58
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:58,071
and you feel for the family.
59
00:03:58,154 --> 00:04:00,865
You know, I felt sorry for him.
60
00:04:06,829 --> 00:04:09,791
- I feel like he didn't
want to live anymore...
61
00:04:12,502 --> 00:04:15,463
With Maggie and Paul gone.
62
00:04:15,546 --> 00:04:20,718
To lose your wife and son...
63
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:23,304
Nobody deserves that.
64
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:29,769
- For you to get to that point
to want to take your life,
65
00:04:29,852 --> 00:04:32,605
you are at rock bottom.
66
00:04:36,484 --> 00:04:38,361
That's what the drugs do.
67
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,199
I did not know
that he was an addict.
68
00:04:43,282 --> 00:04:46,869
I mean, none of my friends
and family knew
69
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:50,540
when I was deep down
in that rabbit hole either.
70
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:52,267
There's a couple places
that you're gonna be.
71
00:04:52,291 --> 00:04:55,503
You're gonna be in jail, dead,
72
00:04:55,586 --> 00:04:57,380
or wishing you were dead.
73
00:05:31,914 --> 00:05:35,418
- Whether Maggie knew he had
an opioid addiction or not,
74
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:36,836
I don't know.
75
00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:38,629
There's so many questions
still out there
76
00:05:38,713 --> 00:05:40,631
about their relationship.
77
00:05:41,924 --> 00:05:44,302
There may have been difficulty
in their marriage.
78
00:05:44,385 --> 00:05:47,430
You know, I've heard through
various rumors and sources
79
00:05:47,513 --> 00:05:49,974
that, you know, Maggie may not
have been really living
80
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:51,601
at the main property with him,
81
00:05:51,684 --> 00:05:53,853
that she may have been
in the Edisto property.
82
00:05:54,771 --> 00:05:56,564
People who've spoken to me
83
00:05:56,647 --> 00:05:59,358
say they believe
that Alex had a mistress.
84
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:03,821
- Rumor is that she
wanted a divorce.
85
00:06:03,905 --> 00:06:06,365
And why did she want a divorce?
86
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:10,078
- There's so much misinformation
87
00:06:10,161 --> 00:06:11,954
out there and bullshit.
88
00:06:12,038 --> 00:06:13,790
Can you run bullshit?
89
00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:16,125
Maggie and Alex
being estranged...
90
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:18,211
There's nothing
further from the truth.
91
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,799
After the boating accident,
Maggie felt uncomfortable
92
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:26,844
in Hampton,
and she preferred, you know,
93
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:31,974
to distance herself
from the small community.
94
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:36,062
And so she was spending time
at Edisto.
95
00:06:36,145 --> 00:06:39,232
They were communicating
in very loving fashion...
96
00:06:39,315 --> 00:06:40,817
Jokes with each other.
97
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,236
Sign off at night,
"I love you."
98
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:45,571
"I love you more."
99
00:06:47,156 --> 00:06:49,575
- They were close, always,
100
00:06:49,659 --> 00:06:51,327
you know, hugging on each other.
101
00:06:51,410 --> 00:06:53,388
- You know, they're at
their kids' sporting events.
102
00:06:53,412 --> 00:06:56,415
They were active parents.
103
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,711
- You could tell...
104
00:07:00,795 --> 00:07:03,005
Just the interaction
between the two...
105
00:07:03,089 --> 00:07:05,174
That they loved each other.
106
00:07:06,884 --> 00:07:09,220
They met in college.
107
00:07:09,303 --> 00:07:13,891
Randy, his dad, told me
Alex had met somebody
108
00:07:13,975 --> 00:07:16,561
and he was chasing her.
109
00:07:17,812 --> 00:07:23,776
When he met Maggie,
the world stopped, and...
110
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:27,071
he was head over heels
in love with her.
111
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:31,534
- From what I knew,
there wasn't no problems.
112
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:35,204
But who does know
what's going on
113
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:37,456
behind closed doors or whatever?
114
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:41,169
- I think they loved each other.
115
00:07:41,252 --> 00:07:44,172
I don't know that they were
in love with each other,
116
00:07:44,255 --> 00:07:47,175
but they were both
very much in love
117
00:07:47,258 --> 00:07:50,720
with how they were viewed
in society,
118
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:55,016
you know, their family
and their name and their...
119
00:07:55,099 --> 00:07:57,268
Their power.
120
00:07:58,394 --> 00:08:01,314
- What we can say
about Alex Murdaugh right now
121
00:08:01,397 --> 00:08:03,566
is that he was addicted.
122
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:05,651
Whether he was
addicted to opioids,
123
00:08:05,735 --> 00:08:07,778
or was he just
addicted to money?
124
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:12,074
But how far was he willing
to go to keep his lifestyle,
125
00:08:12,158 --> 00:08:15,036
to keep that Murdaugh name
front and center?
126
00:09:10,883 --> 00:09:12,802
- Gloria Satterfield had been
127
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,305
the Murdaugh family's
housekeeper
128
00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:19,141
and, essentially, a nanny
to Alex Murdaugh's kids
129
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:20,685
for about 20 years
130
00:09:20,768 --> 00:09:24,647
and was treated very much
like a family member herself.
131
00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:27,441
Several years ago,
there was an accident
132
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:29,902
at the Murdaugh home.
133
00:09:29,986 --> 00:09:34,699
- According to them, you know,
the Murdaugh family dog
134
00:09:34,782 --> 00:09:36,492
accidentally knocked her
down the stairs,
135
00:09:36,575 --> 00:09:39,578
and she ended up passing away
from her injuries.
136
00:09:40,955 --> 00:09:43,833
- At or after her funeral,
apparently,
137
00:09:43,916 --> 00:09:47,003
Alex Murdaugh
approached her sons.
138
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:49,505
- And he's like, "Hey, look,
I'm sorry about what happened,
139
00:09:49,588 --> 00:09:52,466
"and I'm gonna make sure
you get taken care of.
140
00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:54,802
Don't worry.
I have insurance."
141
00:09:54,885 --> 00:09:58,806
- He had, apparently,
a $500,000 liability policy
142
00:09:58,889 --> 00:10:01,809
and a multimillion-dollar
umbrella policy on his home.
143
00:10:01,892 --> 00:10:06,856
And he told them that if they
would go visit his friend
144
00:10:06,939 --> 00:10:09,150
Cory Fleming Cory would get
145
00:10:09,233 --> 00:10:11,861
the Satterfield boys some money.
146
00:10:12,987 --> 00:10:16,615
Fleming brought those claims
against the insurance company.
147
00:10:16,699 --> 00:10:22,038
There was $4.3 million that
the insurance companies paid,
148
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:25,708
and neither Cory nor Alex
ever told their clients.
149
00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:29,837
- And the boys got none of it,
not a penny.
150
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:36,010
- How he got away
with what he did is,
151
00:10:36,093 --> 00:10:37,803
the money went through
Cory Fleming's firm,
152
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:40,097
and Cory Fleming's records
showed that the money
153
00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:43,100
went from there to Forge.
154
00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:46,187
Now, Forge Consulting
is a legitimate
155
00:10:46,270 --> 00:10:49,148
settlement funding company.
156
00:10:49,231 --> 00:10:51,734
Cory Fleming wrote
the checks to Forge...
157
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:54,403
Not Forge Consulting,
just the word "Forge"...
158
00:10:54,487 --> 00:10:57,198
And delivered them
to Alex Murdaugh.
159
00:10:57,281 --> 00:11:00,743
- So he went and created
an account at Bank of America:
160
00:11:00,826 --> 00:11:05,915
R. Alexander Murdaugh
doing business as Forge.
161
00:11:05,998 --> 00:11:08,834
- Giving the appearance
that the plaintiffs'
162
00:11:08,918 --> 00:11:11,754
settlement money
went to Forge Consulting.
163
00:11:11,837 --> 00:11:14,256
But that's actually
a personal bank account.
164
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:16,258
- And he starts moving
millions of dollars
165
00:11:16,342 --> 00:11:18,552
into there.
166
00:11:21,430 --> 00:11:23,849
- Yes, it's very calculated.
167
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:29,522
- The good old boy network
runs rampant
168
00:11:29,605 --> 00:11:32,942
through this entire ordeal.
169
00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:37,029
- Here, it's mostly politicians,
170
00:11:37,113 --> 00:11:38,364
law enforcement,
171
00:11:38,447 --> 00:11:41,450
bankers, and lawyers.
172
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:43,452
And they kind of do this,
173
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:45,287
"You scratch my back,
I'll scratch yours,"
174
00:11:45,371 --> 00:11:48,290
do favors for each other,
things like that, so...
175
00:11:48,374 --> 00:11:51,794
And that's just kind of
how it is around here.
176
00:11:53,671 --> 00:11:56,257
- Hampton is pretty much
historically dominated
177
00:11:56,340 --> 00:11:58,759
by a few influential names...
178
00:11:58,843 --> 00:12:02,763
The Murdaughs, that's PMPED;
179
00:12:02,847 --> 00:12:06,225
the Laffittes,
that's Palmetto State Bank...
180
00:12:06,308 --> 00:12:08,978
Families who had
the upper hand, the power,
181
00:12:09,061 --> 00:12:12,690
and the control for 100 years.
182
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:15,776
- Palmetto State Bank
has several branches now
183
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:17,361
across the Lowcountry.
184
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:20,030
And the board of directors
is filled with members
185
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:21,907
of the Laffitte family.
186
00:12:21,991 --> 00:12:23,701
And then there's
the relationship
187
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:27,079
between Russell Laffitte
and Alex Murdaugh.
188
00:12:27,163 --> 00:12:30,666
- Alex was able to walk
into Palmetto State Bank
189
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:35,463
and use his connections
with Russell Laffitte
190
00:12:35,546 --> 00:12:39,383
to say, "Hey, Beau,
I need this done."
191
00:12:40,843 --> 00:12:44,513
- Alex Murdaugh had
the ability to skip protocols
192
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,849
that most of us
have to go through.
193
00:12:46,932 --> 00:12:50,352
And that's just how they
looked out for each other.
194
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,980
That is the good old boy system.
195
00:12:54,148 --> 00:12:58,360
- This really is a case of...
196
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:02,198
institutional evil
197
00:13:02,281 --> 00:13:04,325
manifesting itself
198
00:13:04,408 --> 00:13:07,870
and not just one crazy lawyer.
199
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:11,290
This is the product of...
200
00:13:11,373 --> 00:13:16,754
decades of entitlement,
of privilege.
201
00:13:16,837 --> 00:13:19,965
The Murdaughs
are part of a club.
202
00:13:22,134 --> 00:13:26,013
- Club of white people,
powerful white people,
203
00:13:26,096 --> 00:13:29,308
who got to run things.
204
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:37,024
This is the culmination
of years of no accountability.
205
00:13:39,902 --> 00:13:44,406
- With Alex Murdaugh,
it's a character flaw.
206
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:48,702
You know, it ain't like, ooh,
this deals with case finances,
207
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:52,414
so my moral compass
is broken on this one issue.
208
00:13:52,498 --> 00:13:53,916
If your moral compass is broken,
209
00:13:53,999 --> 00:13:55,918
that shit don't never work.
210
00:13:56,001 --> 00:13:59,171
If you'd be that disrespectful
to the lady who, like,
211
00:13:59,255 --> 00:14:01,966
helped tuck your kids in
at night to sleep,
212
00:14:02,049 --> 00:14:04,510
what won't you do to somebody?
213
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:09,098
You know, now, a lot of people
214
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:12,309
weren't really buying
the whole dogs...
215
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:15,646
knocked her down the stairs
narrative.
216
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:18,107
- I don't know,
but I don't think
217
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:19,567
she tripped over the dogs.
218
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:22,278
Because when you listen
to the 911 tape,
219
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,154
she never mentions the dogs.
220
00:14:39,628 --> 00:14:41,022
- I just think
if I was on the phone,
221
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:43,716
calling 911 and saying,
"Oh, my God,
222
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:46,385
"you know, my housekeeper
just tripped over my dog,
223
00:14:46,468 --> 00:14:47,970
and she fell"... you know,
224
00:14:48,053 --> 00:14:50,598
but the dogs don't come up,
ever.
225
00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:55,311
- I have a difficult time
believing
226
00:14:55,394 --> 00:14:57,563
how dogs that you're
around all the time,
227
00:14:57,646 --> 00:14:59,246
in a house that you're
more familiar with
228
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:01,025
than the people who own it...
229
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:03,152
And the dogs jumped on you
230
00:15:03,235 --> 00:15:05,237
and knocked you
down the stairs...
231
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:08,741
But I wasn't there.
232
00:15:08,824 --> 00:15:10,242
So I don't know.
233
00:15:10,326 --> 00:15:11,726
- Maggie was initially
on that call.
234
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:14,121
Then Paul got on that call.
235
00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:44,735
- It's very interesting to
hear his demeanor especially.
236
00:15:44,818 --> 00:15:47,237
911 operator asking
some pretty simple questions,
237
00:15:47,321 --> 00:15:49,865
and he's pretty upset
about the fact
238
00:15:49,948 --> 00:15:51,241
that they're asking questions,
239
00:15:51,325 --> 00:15:53,035
not as much of,
"This woman is bleeding
240
00:15:53,118 --> 00:15:54,620
to death on our stairs."
241
00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:59,875
So the rumor is that Paul
242
00:15:59,958 --> 00:16:03,796
may have been involved somehow
in this death,
243
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,424
whether it's pushing, tripping,
something of the sort.
244
00:16:08,175 --> 00:16:09,415
- Gloria Satterfield, you know,
245
00:16:09,468 --> 00:16:11,011
they pushed her down the stairs.
246
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:12,346
That was no accident.
247
00:16:12,429 --> 00:16:13,972
That was on purpose.
248
00:16:14,056 --> 00:16:17,893
I think she found something.
249
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:21,313
You know, I've heard that she
found his stash of drugs.
250
00:16:21,397 --> 00:16:23,023
She was gonna tell his daddy.
251
00:16:26,985 --> 00:16:30,322
- There's been talk
for a long time here.
252
00:16:30,406 --> 00:16:34,076
Something in the milk
ain't clean.
253
00:16:35,035 --> 00:16:36,704
- Alex Murdaugh,
the prominent attorney
254
00:16:36,787 --> 00:16:38,747
at the center of a case
involving murder, money,
255
00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:41,417
and mystery, was arrested
today in Orange County
256
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,920
while leaving a drug rehab
facility in Central Florida.
257
00:16:45,754 --> 00:16:48,340
- I was in the newsroom,
and bulletin came out
258
00:16:48,424 --> 00:16:50,426
that Alex Murdaugh
had gotten arrested.
259
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:54,555
And your mind just wanders on,
what was he arrested for?
260
00:16:54,638 --> 00:16:56,765
What is he connected to?
261
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:58,684
And why now?
262
00:17:04,481 --> 00:17:06,442
- Alex Murdaugh is charged
with two counts
263
00:17:06,525 --> 00:17:08,861
of obtaining property
by false pretense.
264
00:17:08,944 --> 00:17:10,612
Murdaugh's longtime housekeeper
265
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:14,074
died after an accident
in his home back in 2018.
266
00:17:14,158 --> 00:17:16,118
Her family filed a lawsuit
in September,
267
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:19,288
saying they never received
any money from her estate.
268
00:17:19,371 --> 00:17:21,373
Murdaugh's law firm fired him,
269
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:23,500
saying they discovered
that Murdaugh
270
00:17:23,584 --> 00:17:26,420
had misappropriated funds.
271
00:17:40,642 --> 00:17:43,145
- Your Honor,
he has fallen from grace.
272
00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:46,648
His wife and son
were brutally murdered.
273
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:51,862
And that has had
an extraordinary effect on him.
274
00:17:53,989 --> 00:17:55,699
Are you okay?
275
00:17:55,783 --> 00:18:00,829
So we'd ask you to allow him
to go and help heal himself.
276
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:02,372
This is a 20-year addiction.
277
00:18:02,456 --> 00:18:04,225
This is not... this is something
he's struggling with
278
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:06,210
every day.
279
00:18:06,293 --> 00:18:09,046
And if anyone
wants to see the face
280
00:18:09,129 --> 00:18:13,383
of what opioid addiction does,
you're looking at it.
281
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:16,470
Thank you, Your Honor.
282
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:21,266
- Well, this can't be
the first time he did it.
283
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:24,228
Right? There's no way
the first time you stole money
284
00:18:24,311 --> 00:18:26,021
was with this level of cover-up
285
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:28,941
in a wrongful death case
for $4.3 million.
286
00:18:31,401 --> 00:18:34,905
He had to have
been doing it before.
287
00:18:35,614 --> 00:18:37,032
And then people found out
288
00:18:37,115 --> 00:18:39,034
he'd been doing it
for over a decade.
289
00:18:40,953 --> 00:18:43,831
- There are new victims
in the Murdaugh money mess.
290
00:18:43,914 --> 00:18:45,415
- 23 new charges
291
00:18:45,499 --> 00:18:46,792
all accusing Alex Murdaugh
292
00:18:46,875 --> 00:18:48,669
of stealing
from his own clients.
293
00:18:48,752 --> 00:18:52,548
- Now other families who lost
loved ones are coming forward.
294
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:54,591
They tell
eerily similar accounts
295
00:18:54,675 --> 00:18:57,427
of missing money
after tragic deaths.
296
00:18:58,637 --> 00:19:02,266
- There are a number
of victims here.
297
00:19:03,183 --> 00:19:06,436
You have victims
like Hakeem Pinckney.
298
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,524
Hakeem was a young deaf man,
299
00:19:10,607 --> 00:19:12,818
had just graduated high school.
300
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:15,571
And this family is just
driving down the road,
301
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:17,447
and boom, tragedy hits.
302
00:19:17,531 --> 00:19:21,243
Tire tread comes off.
Car flips.
303
00:19:21,326 --> 00:19:23,203
Hakeem is rendered
a quadriplegic
304
00:19:23,287 --> 00:19:24,705
in this accident,
305
00:19:24,788 --> 00:19:27,082
end up in a nursing home.
306
00:19:27,165 --> 00:19:29,459
And he dies.
307
00:19:29,543 --> 00:19:31,795
And then Alex
steals their money,
308
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:34,840
almost $1 million.
309
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:38,927
Johnny Bush
310
00:19:39,011 --> 00:19:40,804
was a really bad accident.
311
00:19:40,888 --> 00:19:42,890
He's got hardware in his back.
312
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:44,600
Alex stole his money.
313
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:48,896
Blondell Gary...
314
00:19:48,979 --> 00:19:51,857
On their way in the ambulance
to the hospital,
315
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:53,734
the ambulance wrecks.
316
00:19:53,817 --> 00:19:55,485
She's no longer with us.
317
00:19:55,569 --> 00:19:57,946
And he steals the money.
318
00:19:58,030 --> 00:20:00,741
Trooper Moore of the South
Carolina Highway Patrol...
319
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:02,659
Alex takes the money.
320
00:20:02,743 --> 00:20:06,622
Malik Williams, Jamian Risher.
321
00:20:06,705 --> 00:20:10,167
And the list
goes on and on and on.
322
00:20:20,469 --> 00:20:24,598
Alex Murdaugh successfully stole
323
00:20:24,681 --> 00:20:27,517
almost $10 million
324
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:31,939
from clients
both living and dead.
325
00:20:47,621 --> 00:20:52,417
- Alex zeroed in on minorities,
326
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:54,962
poor people,
327
00:20:55,045 --> 00:20:56,338
injured people,
328
00:20:56,421 --> 00:20:58,632
people that couldn't
really defend themselves
329
00:20:58,715 --> 00:21:01,426
and had probably come to Alex
330
00:21:01,510 --> 00:21:04,346
because it was
their last chance.
331
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:07,474
- It's outrageous
that it was a wealthy person
332
00:21:07,557 --> 00:21:10,519
preying on so many people
who had so little.
333
00:21:12,521 --> 00:21:15,607
- As the charges
started piling up,
334
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:19,319
you started to realize
exactly how far Alex went.
335
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:22,781
When you're looking
into not just 10, 20, 30,
336
00:21:22,864 --> 00:21:26,284
40, 50, 60, 70-plus charges...
337
00:21:28,578 --> 00:21:29,997
So it's basically
338
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,416
nearly 150 years in jail
339
00:21:32,499 --> 00:21:34,084
or more if he is
340
00:21:34,167 --> 00:21:36,211
convicted of all the crimes.
341
00:21:38,755 --> 00:21:42,592
- Hard for me to comprehend
342
00:21:42,676 --> 00:21:44,553
what has happened to him.
343
00:21:47,305 --> 00:21:49,975
'Cause he's such a...
344
00:21:50,058 --> 00:21:51,643
A good guy.
345
00:21:51,727 --> 00:21:53,854
He may not have been good
to everybody.
346
00:21:53,937 --> 00:21:56,440
I don't know.
347
00:21:58,025 --> 00:21:59,735
- For some people,
348
00:21:59,818 --> 00:22:03,155
cheating other people
is almost like sex to them.
349
00:22:03,238 --> 00:22:04,823
It's a big high for them
350
00:22:04,906 --> 00:22:07,075
to know they've gotten
something over on people.
351
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:09,995
And that might be the basis
of some of what he's done.
352
00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:16,001
- Hello, this is
an MTEL operator
353
00:22:16,084 --> 00:22:19,046
calling from
Alvin S. Glenn Detention.
354
00:22:19,129 --> 00:22:23,884
All phone calls are subject
to monitoring and recording.
355
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:33,662
- There's no remorse.
356
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:37,374
Zero care about anybody.
357
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:41,479
- One of the outstanding
questions in this case
358
00:23:41,503 --> 00:23:44,089
continues to be,
where did all of the money go?
359
00:23:44,172 --> 00:23:47,134
- He may be trying to hide
millions of dollars.
360
00:23:47,217 --> 00:23:49,594
- It is impossible
to burn that kind of money
361
00:23:49,678 --> 00:23:51,346
in Hampton, South Carolina.
362
00:23:57,102 --> 00:23:58,746
- Well, that's
the million-dollar question.
363
00:23:58,770 --> 00:24:00,647
I have no idea
where the money is.
364
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:07,904
He claims to have had
an opioid problem
365
00:24:07,988 --> 00:24:09,698
that he spent a lot of it on.
366
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:12,450
- I don't know
how you can spend that much
367
00:24:12,534 --> 00:24:16,371
if it was strictly
for the addiction.
368
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:19,207
- But then the question becomes,
369
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:21,042
is, what did he need
the money for?
370
00:24:22,878 --> 00:24:24,713
Was it drugs?
Was it a lifestyle?
371
00:24:24,796 --> 00:24:28,842
Was he, you know, traveling
places we don't know about?
372
00:24:28,925 --> 00:24:32,095
- They did not live
a flashy lifestyle.
373
00:24:32,179 --> 00:24:33,930
Certainly, they had perks.
374
00:24:34,014 --> 00:24:36,266
Certainly, they had nice things.
375
00:24:36,349 --> 00:24:41,021
But it's not the lifestyle
of multimillions.
376
00:24:41,104 --> 00:24:44,691
So the vices that I can think of
377
00:24:44,774 --> 00:24:46,568
are gambling,
378
00:24:46,651 --> 00:24:49,237
or maybe someone
was blackmailing him
379
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:51,990
and he had to pay
lots of money out.
380
00:24:52,073 --> 00:24:54,743
- Was he just living higher
than he should have been?
381
00:24:54,826 --> 00:24:57,162
Did he have other people
he was taking care of,
382
00:24:57,245 --> 00:24:59,581
like, you know,
the possibility of mistresses
383
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:02,042
that had been rumored out there.
384
00:25:02,125 --> 00:25:03,710
Alex is the only person
who knows
385
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:06,379
where that money went,
what he did with it,
386
00:25:06,463 --> 00:25:09,007
and does it still exist.
387
00:25:09,090 --> 00:25:13,303
- Alex comes from a line
of people who are the law.
388
00:25:13,386 --> 00:25:15,096
He probably felt that no matter
389
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:16,348
what trouble he went into,
390
00:25:16,431 --> 00:25:18,308
he would find a way out of it.
391
00:25:18,391 --> 00:25:20,560
We don't even know
if we know everything.
392
00:25:20,644 --> 00:25:24,272
Every time we thought
that the story was gonna end,
393
00:25:24,356 --> 00:25:26,066
there was a new piece
of information
394
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:29,277
that just made it
more fantastical, more insane,
395
00:25:29,361 --> 00:25:31,947
and created more question marks
into, who are the Murdaughs,
396
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:34,950
and how are they involved
in so many different crimes?
397
00:26:27,210 --> 00:26:30,255
- On that day, June the 7th,
398
00:26:30,338 --> 00:26:33,550
Alex comes home from work
around 6:30
399
00:26:33,633 --> 00:26:36,011
and met Paul.
400
00:26:36,928 --> 00:26:40,265
And he and Paul
rode around the fields,
401
00:26:40,348 --> 00:26:42,267
inspecting the property.
402
00:26:43,476 --> 00:26:45,603
They were just, you know,
hanging out together.
403
00:26:45,687 --> 00:26:48,023
And then they met their mother,
and they had dinner.
404
00:26:49,858 --> 00:26:51,693
I've got all their phone records
405
00:26:51,776 --> 00:26:54,863
leading up until the murder.
406
00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:56,781
And they're talking
to each other.
407
00:26:56,865 --> 00:27:01,036
Maggie's talking to Paul,
and Paul's talking to Alex.
408
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,040
They were communicating
in a very loving fashion.
409
00:27:06,624 --> 00:27:10,211
After dinner,
Maggie left the house
410
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:12,547
to go run the dogs.
411
00:27:15,133 --> 00:27:18,470
Paul left the house 'cause
Paul never stayed inside.
412
00:27:18,553 --> 00:27:22,557
And Alex, frankly, doesn't
know where Paul went.
413
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,270
Alex says that he laid down
on the couch and watched TV
414
00:27:27,354 --> 00:27:29,105
and fell asleep.
415
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:35,987
And he woke up
about 9:00,
416
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:39,199
and he wanted to go check
on his mother
417
00:27:39,282 --> 00:27:43,078
so tries to call Maggie first,
418
00:27:43,161 --> 00:27:44,746
and she doesn't answer.
419
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:47,582
And he tries to call Paul,
and he doesn't answer.
420
00:27:47,665 --> 00:27:51,419
And he texts Maggie and says,
"I'll be right back."
421
00:27:54,214 --> 00:27:55,799
He leaves.
422
00:27:55,882 --> 00:28:02,180
And he is on his phone
from 9:03 through 9:21.
423
00:28:02,263 --> 00:28:05,809
At 9:21, he calls
his mother's house phone,
424
00:28:05,892 --> 00:28:09,062
asking the nurse's aide
to let him in.
425
00:28:09,979 --> 00:28:12,941
His mother's in bed.
She has dementia.
426
00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:15,693
She's watching a game show.
427
00:28:15,777 --> 00:28:18,571
And Alex sits on the bed,
and the nurse's aide
428
00:28:18,655 --> 00:28:20,698
says he's same old Alex.
429
00:28:20,782 --> 00:28:22,450
There's no stress.
430
00:28:22,534 --> 00:28:24,619
And he stays there
for about 20 minutes.
431
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:27,681
And then he comes back, and he
gets on the phone again.
432
00:28:27,705 --> 00:28:29,958
And he's chatting it up
with his friends.
433
00:28:31,042 --> 00:28:33,837
And then he arrives
back to Moselle,
434
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,839
a little bit after 10:00.
435
00:28:40,677 --> 00:28:42,512
The house was still locked up,
436
00:28:42,595 --> 00:28:45,140
and there'd been no sign
that either Paul or Maggie
437
00:28:45,223 --> 00:28:47,267
had come into the house.
438
00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:49,602
He got back in his car
439
00:28:49,686 --> 00:28:53,398
and drove down
to the dog kennel.
440
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:01,114
And that's where he discovers
their bodies.
441
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:29,684
- He immediately goes to check
to see if they're alive.
442
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:32,520
He rolls Paul over,
443
00:29:32,604 --> 00:29:36,524
and Paul has been shot
with a shotgun twice
444
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:39,110
inside the feed room
of the dog kennel
445
00:29:39,194 --> 00:29:41,029
at very close range.
446
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:46,117
- Two shots with a shotgun
is... extreme overkill.
447
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:49,621
At close range,
within, say, 10 feet,
448
00:29:49,704 --> 00:29:52,916
all the pellets are gonna hit
in a single mass.
449
00:29:52,999 --> 00:29:56,002
It's gonna eviscerate
your organs.
450
00:29:56,085 --> 00:29:58,004
Paul had two wounds on his body:
451
00:29:58,087 --> 00:30:02,383
one to the chest and then one
to the head, neck area.
452
00:30:02,467 --> 00:30:04,427
That's why Paul was reportedly
453
00:30:04,511 --> 00:30:06,804
almost decapitated
from the incident.
454
00:30:09,516 --> 00:30:13,520
- Alex goes and checks Maggie,
and there's no pulse.
455
00:30:13,603 --> 00:30:18,233
Her body is found about
30 yards away from Paul's.
456
00:30:18,316 --> 00:30:20,652
Maggie is shot multiple times
457
00:30:20,735 --> 00:30:23,029
from a distance in her leg,
458
00:30:23,112 --> 00:30:24,322
shot in her wrist,
459
00:30:24,405 --> 00:30:26,282
another shot in her torso.
460
00:30:26,366 --> 00:30:29,118
And then there were
two last shots
461
00:30:29,202 --> 00:30:30,328
while she was on the ground
462
00:30:30,411 --> 00:30:31,913
at close range.
463
00:30:32,997 --> 00:30:36,417
- With Maggie, it was
an AR-15 that was used.
464
00:30:38,711 --> 00:30:41,130
I think she begins to run.
465
00:30:41,214 --> 00:30:43,925
That's why you see the shots
are kind of going up her body
466
00:30:44,008 --> 00:30:45,969
in the fashion that they are.
467
00:30:47,178 --> 00:30:49,264
Once she falls to the ground,
468
00:30:49,347 --> 00:30:50,932
then you walk over to her,
469
00:30:51,015 --> 00:30:53,601
and then you shoot
the final shots.
470
00:30:57,355 --> 00:31:00,441
Now, to walk over to her...
471
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:05,113
Possibly still on the ground,
begging for her life...
472
00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:06,739
And then to stand over her
473
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:08,825
and shoot straight down
to the ground
474
00:31:08,908 --> 00:31:11,828
into her head, that's...
475
00:31:11,911 --> 00:31:15,540
I think it's unfathomable
for a normal human being.
476
00:31:16,583 --> 00:31:19,002
- The multiple
gunshot wounds indicate
477
00:31:19,085 --> 00:31:24,090
that both Maggie and Paul
were meant to be dead.
478
00:31:24,173 --> 00:31:28,261
A very sinister person
committed these crimes.
479
00:31:28,344 --> 00:31:29,971
It was intentional.
480
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:32,807
It doesn't feel like
anybody snapped.
481
00:31:32,890 --> 00:31:37,604
It does feel like a very
in-cold-blood situation.
482
00:31:40,398 --> 00:31:44,277
- Immediately upon learning
of Paul and Maggie's death,
483
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,280
many people, me included,
484
00:31:47,363 --> 00:31:49,490
thought that this was the act
485
00:31:49,574 --> 00:31:52,910
of some delusional vigilante.
486
00:31:54,412 --> 00:31:57,165
- Who might have the motive,
the means,
487
00:31:57,248 --> 00:31:58,541
and the opportunity
488
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:01,294
to want one or both
of these victims dead?
489
00:32:01,377 --> 00:32:06,382
- What was the motivation,
other than anger or revenge?
490
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:08,885
- The first thought
that everybody had was,
491
00:32:08,968 --> 00:32:13,181
who would be this rogue person
to go ahead and kill?
492
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:15,892
Because who did Alex maybe upset
493
00:32:15,975 --> 00:32:17,685
or Paul upset somewhere?
494
00:32:19,771 --> 00:32:21,314
Was it the Mallory Beach family,
495
00:32:21,397 --> 00:32:23,191
who was still involved
in a civil lawsuit
496
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:24,817
but they also had grief
over the fact
497
00:32:24,901 --> 00:32:26,569
that Mallory was gone?
498
00:32:30,531 --> 00:32:32,992
Was it Stephen Smith's family,
who was connected to this
499
00:32:33,076 --> 00:32:35,703
because they've never gotten
justice for their son,
500
00:32:35,787 --> 00:32:37,914
in their mind?
501
00:32:37,997 --> 00:32:40,750
Was it somebody
from a drug deal perspective
502
00:32:40,833 --> 00:32:42,168
after Alex came out and said
503
00:32:42,251 --> 00:32:44,253
that "I'm addicted to opioids"?
504
00:32:45,213 --> 00:32:47,423
- We're still learning more
about what exactly happened
505
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:49,717
behind these gates
of this hunting lodge
506
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:51,219
here in Colleton County.
507
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:54,389
A SLED spokesperson tells me
that while this is
508
00:32:54,472 --> 00:32:56,307
being called a double homicide,
509
00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:58,851
there is no danger
to the public right now
510
00:32:58,935 --> 00:33:00,520
and that at last report,
511
00:33:00,603 --> 00:33:03,356
they were not looking
for suspects in this case.
512
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:07,318
- After the murders,
there was a call
513
00:33:07,402 --> 00:33:12,240
to say that the public
is not in danger,
514
00:33:12,323 --> 00:33:13,950
which would let you think
515
00:33:14,033 --> 00:33:17,328
that they know exactly
who the killer was.
516
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:21,290
The person that finds
the body, many times,
517
00:33:21,374 --> 00:33:23,584
is a prime suspect.
518
00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:25,503
But Alex had a specific
519
00:33:25,586 --> 00:33:27,714
and potentially convenient alibi
520
00:33:27,797 --> 00:33:29,841
if you go see
one of your parents
521
00:33:29,924 --> 00:33:32,343
at the same time
that these murders happened.
522
00:33:36,556 --> 00:33:37,890
- I don't think, at this point,
523
00:33:37,974 --> 00:33:39,892
we know if anybody
was there with her.
524
00:33:39,976 --> 00:33:41,495
I've never gotten a sense
that any of the brothers
525
00:33:41,519 --> 00:33:43,414
were there or anyone else
that's come out and said,
526
00:33:43,438 --> 00:33:45,481
"I saw Alex
an hour before the murder.
527
00:33:45,565 --> 00:33:47,608
I saw Alex
when these murders happened."
528
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:50,611
No one has come out
to give him that full alibi,
529
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:54,323
and the only person
who could has dementia,
530
00:33:54,407 --> 00:33:57,785
and her mind is not
all the way there.
531
00:33:57,869 --> 00:34:01,164
If there's no one else there,
then Alex's only alibi
532
00:34:01,247 --> 00:34:02,707
is with a woman
who, unfortunately,
533
00:34:02,790 --> 00:34:05,626
if you took the stand,
wouldn't pass muster.
534
00:34:10,131 --> 00:34:11,424
- At the time,
535
00:34:11,507 --> 00:34:13,760
Maggie and Alex
were living separately.
536
00:34:13,843 --> 00:34:15,803
She was living at their
beach house in Edisto,
537
00:34:15,887 --> 00:34:17,263
and he was living at Moselle.
538
00:34:17,346 --> 00:34:19,640
So I think
one of the big questions was,
539
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:24,145
why was Maggie at Moselle
the night that she was murdered
540
00:34:24,228 --> 00:34:26,689
if she wasn't living there
anymore?
541
00:34:27,815 --> 00:34:30,860
- This is a couple that,
from all reports,
542
00:34:30,943 --> 00:34:32,445
were on the outs,
543
00:34:32,528 --> 00:34:34,465
and then you're gonna have
a sit-down dinner together.
544
00:34:34,489 --> 00:34:36,908
It seems very unusual.
545
00:34:36,991 --> 00:34:39,136
- There has since been some
reporting that has come out
546
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,664
that Alex asked Maggie
to meet him at Moselle,
547
00:34:43,748 --> 00:34:45,625
and then the two of them
would go together
548
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:47,585
to see his ailing parents.
549
00:34:49,712 --> 00:34:53,341
In text messages to a friend,
Maggie says it's fishy.
550
00:34:53,424 --> 00:34:56,094
She thinks that he's
up to something.
551
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:00,097
She agreed to go,
and according to this report,
552
00:35:00,181 --> 00:35:01,849
she went straight
to the dog kennels
553
00:35:01,933 --> 00:35:03,309
and got out of the car,
554
00:35:03,392 --> 00:35:05,895
and the car was still running
555
00:35:05,978 --> 00:35:07,230
before she was murdered.
556
00:35:14,737 --> 00:35:18,908
- I don't think the dinner
can really be proven.
557
00:35:18,991 --> 00:35:21,160
There's no one there
to corroborate
558
00:35:21,244 --> 00:35:23,412
the story about the dinner,
559
00:35:23,496 --> 00:35:26,958
making them look
like they're so close.
560
00:35:27,041 --> 00:35:29,377
It's my opinion
that it's just another story
561
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:33,172
that Alex has made up
to make himself look better.
562
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:37,218
- There's a mixed bag
of rumors right now
563
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:39,095
about divorce lawyers
and whether she
564
00:35:39,178 --> 00:35:41,222
had actually contacted one.
565
00:35:41,305 --> 00:35:43,391
I think it's definitively
in play
566
00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:45,101
that she was considering
the fact of,
567
00:35:45,184 --> 00:35:46,561
"Maybe it's time
to get a divorce,
568
00:35:46,644 --> 00:35:48,437
or I need
to separate from Alex."
569
00:35:50,565 --> 00:35:52,400
- I mean, the question is,
did Maggie know
570
00:35:52,483 --> 00:35:54,110
that Alex had
got his account down
571
00:35:54,193 --> 00:35:57,238
to negative $100,000 and change?
572
00:35:58,155 --> 00:36:00,199
If their marriage
was on the rocks
573
00:36:00,283 --> 00:36:03,953
and they were separated a bit
and considering divorce,
574
00:36:04,036 --> 00:36:05,788
well, one thing
that has to happen is,
575
00:36:05,872 --> 00:36:07,349
if you're splitting up,
you need to know
576
00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:09,041
what your cut is,
577
00:36:09,125 --> 00:36:12,587
which requires
a financial audit.
578
00:36:12,670 --> 00:36:15,339
If you had done one
on his finances,
579
00:36:15,423 --> 00:36:18,676
you would have found
that he was embezzling money.
580
00:36:20,094 --> 00:36:25,516
But is money enough to make
a person kill their spouse?
581
00:36:26,392 --> 00:36:27,894
I don't know.
582
00:36:30,187 --> 00:36:32,982
- I think he knew that this
was a house of cards.
583
00:36:33,065 --> 00:36:36,319
He knew that there was
the potential for real danger
584
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:38,613
and that it would all point
right back at him,
585
00:36:38,696 --> 00:36:41,490
and Paul and Maggie
were the first two people
586
00:36:41,574 --> 00:36:43,659
that would point right at him.
587
00:36:46,287 --> 00:36:48,956
- Alex done killed 'em.
588
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,917
That was my first thought.
589
00:36:51,959 --> 00:36:54,754
Ain't nobody else in Hampton
got the balls
590
00:36:54,837 --> 00:36:57,423
to try to kill a Murdaugh,
in my opinion.
591
00:36:59,091 --> 00:37:02,929
- My first impression
is probably still
592
00:37:03,012 --> 00:37:04,972
my same opinion.
593
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:08,601
I just feel like
whatever happened
594
00:37:08,684 --> 00:37:11,520
was something
within that family.
595
00:37:11,604 --> 00:37:16,317
I don't think it was anything
to do with anybody outside.
596
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:23,282
- If you could execute
your wife and your son,
597
00:37:23,366 --> 00:37:25,201
I would find that
hard to believe.
598
00:37:25,284 --> 00:37:28,913
And if you did, there's a
special place in hell for you.
599
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:35,044
- I never would believe
that he did it.
600
00:37:36,712 --> 00:37:38,798
There's no way in the world.
601
00:37:43,344 --> 00:37:45,179
There's no way.
602
00:37:51,978 --> 00:37:55,064
- One of the pieces
of evidence that's out there
603
00:37:55,147 --> 00:37:57,900
is blood spatter on Alex.
604
00:37:59,151 --> 00:38:02,321
- It's been reported that
there was a spatter pattern
605
00:38:02,405 --> 00:38:04,198
on Alex's shirt.
606
00:38:04,281 --> 00:38:05,950
You know, you shoot
somebody in the head
607
00:38:06,033 --> 00:38:07,493
with a shotgun,
608
00:38:07,576 --> 00:38:10,204
that's gonna be
a massive explosion
609
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:11,998
of blood and tissue.
610
00:38:12,081 --> 00:38:15,001
The same thing with the AR-15.
611
00:38:15,084 --> 00:38:16,877
The bullets
are traveling so fast,
612
00:38:16,961 --> 00:38:18,796
a high-velocity mist is created
613
00:38:18,879 --> 00:38:21,090
because it goes back
in the direction
614
00:38:21,173 --> 00:38:23,467
of the object
that fired at them.
615
00:38:25,302 --> 00:38:27,471
The closer I am to you
when I shoot you,
616
00:38:27,555 --> 00:38:31,434
it's gonna create more spatter
back on that individual.
617
00:38:31,517 --> 00:38:33,477
That's incredibly damning
evidence
618
00:38:33,561 --> 00:38:38,482
when you had to be the one
that pulled the trigger.
619
00:38:40,651 --> 00:38:43,320
- Which ties Alex
right back to the scene
620
00:38:43,404 --> 00:38:45,823
where both Paul and Maggie died.
621
00:38:47,074 --> 00:38:48,993
- If that comes to be true,
622
00:38:49,076 --> 00:38:52,955
that would just be one more
nail in the coffin for Alex.
623
00:38:58,127 --> 00:39:01,005
- You hear that, you know,
he had some forensic evidence
624
00:39:01,088 --> 00:39:02,715
that links him to the bodies.
625
00:39:02,798 --> 00:39:05,426
Well, it's not surprising,
'cause he touched both bodies,
626
00:39:05,509 --> 00:39:09,930
and he's going to have,
you know, their blood on him.
627
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:12,266
The forensic testing
of blood spatter
628
00:39:12,349 --> 00:39:15,561
is accepted when you're
looking at a crime scene
629
00:39:15,644 --> 00:39:18,272
and there's blood on a wall,
there's blood on a table,
630
00:39:18,355 --> 00:39:20,733
there's blood on a hard surface.
631
00:39:20,816 --> 00:39:24,445
But all that falls apart
when it's blood in clothing.
632
00:39:24,528 --> 00:39:27,323
I mean, it really is
junk science and not accepted
633
00:39:27,406 --> 00:39:31,202
in legitimate
forensic scientific circles.
634
00:39:33,829 --> 00:39:38,125
Unless there's something
we don't know about,
635
00:39:38,209 --> 00:39:41,253
that case will be as defensible
636
00:39:41,337 --> 00:39:46,175
if not more defensible
than Paul's boating case.
637
00:41:03,627 --> 00:41:06,714
- This has been
a three-year process.
638
00:41:06,797 --> 00:41:10,259
It's been mystery
and digging for information
639
00:41:10,342 --> 00:41:13,804
and anything you can find
about these murders.
640
00:41:16,724 --> 00:41:19,393
And then to finally
see it in writing...
641
00:41:19,476 --> 00:41:22,521
Alex Murdaugh charged
with two murders...
642
00:41:22,605 --> 00:41:25,232
Was almost surprising
in many forms,
643
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:28,152
because you never thought
he was gonna get charged.
644
00:41:28,235 --> 00:41:31,238
That's the first time
anybody went, "Oh."
645
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,033
- We're breaking
into programming right now
646
00:41:34,116 --> 00:41:36,327
to bring you a special report.
647
00:41:36,410 --> 00:41:38,746
- Alex Murdaugh has now
officially been charged
648
00:41:38,829 --> 00:41:40,706
with murdering his wife and son.
649
00:41:40,789 --> 00:41:42,833
- SLED, the South Carolina
Law Enforcement Division,
650
00:41:42,917 --> 00:41:44,210
has informed the family
651
00:41:44,293 --> 00:41:45,836
that they are seeking
murder charges.
652
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,255
- The murder indictment
alleges Murdaugh
653
00:41:48,339 --> 00:41:52,301
shot his 52-year-old wife,
Maggie Murdaugh, with a rifle
654
00:41:52,384 --> 00:41:54,887
and his son Paul with a shotgun.
655
00:41:54,970 --> 00:41:56,430
- Source has told CNN
656
00:41:56,513 --> 00:41:58,098
that some of the evidence
657
00:41:58,182 --> 00:42:00,684
that they believe
law enforcement has
658
00:42:00,768 --> 00:42:03,437
includes blood spatter
on his clothing.
659
00:42:21,330 --> 00:42:23,624
Okay, go. We're trying
to get in the fucking jail.
660
00:42:23,707 --> 00:42:25,376
Will you all get out of our way?
661
00:42:31,507 --> 00:42:33,550
- Did you kill Paul and Maggie?
662
00:42:49,900 --> 00:42:54,363
- I think I've worked
maybe two in my whole career
663
00:42:54,446 --> 00:42:55,698
where I've actually seen that,
664
00:42:55,781 --> 00:42:58,200
and I've worked
over 12,000 cases.
665
00:43:02,246 --> 00:43:03,664
- The fact that Alex was charged
666
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:05,916
with both Maggie
and Paul's murders
667
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,543
surprised a lot of people.
668
00:43:07,626 --> 00:43:08,877
I think many people believe
669
00:43:08,961 --> 00:43:10,879
that maybe
he was involved somehow
670
00:43:10,963 --> 00:43:13,882
or had somebody do it and would
be connected that way.
671
00:43:13,966 --> 00:43:17,011
But to see it specifically
that Alex Murdaugh
672
00:43:17,094 --> 00:43:18,679
killed Paul Murdaugh
673
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:21,181
and Alex Murdaugh
killed Maggie Murdaugh
674
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:23,142
with a shotgun, with a rifle,
675
00:43:23,225 --> 00:43:26,228
was almost shocking
to see those words
676
00:43:26,312 --> 00:43:27,646
come out specifically,
677
00:43:27,730 --> 00:43:29,982
because I'm not sure
if anybody believed
678
00:43:30,065 --> 00:43:32,860
he truly pulled both triggers.
679
00:43:32,943 --> 00:43:34,254
- He said simply
he had nothing to do
680
00:43:34,278 --> 00:43:36,030
with Maggie and Paul's murder.
681
00:43:36,113 --> 00:43:38,324
- Murdaugh appeared in court
with a shaved head,
682
00:43:38,407 --> 00:43:40,743
wearing clothes from his
defense attorney's son...
683
00:43:40,826 --> 00:43:44,038
A white linen shirt,
khaki pants, and Gucci shoes.
684
00:43:44,121 --> 00:43:46,999
- Part of a long legal legacy,
Alex Murdaugh will soon learn
685
00:43:47,082 --> 00:43:49,376
his fate in a courtroom
where a painting
686
00:43:49,460 --> 00:43:52,921
of his great-grandfather hangs.
687
00:44:16,987 --> 00:44:19,948
- For 13 months,
has Alex's lawyers known
688
00:44:20,032 --> 00:44:21,952
that he may have been involved
in this and, like,
689
00:44:21,992 --> 00:44:24,578
have been working to figure out
how to fix this since then?
690
00:44:24,661 --> 00:44:27,956
There's questions
about who knows the truth,
691
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,417
what have they been doing
to try to save Alex,
692
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:33,045
try to help him
with all these crimes,
693
00:44:33,128 --> 00:44:35,798
and what more don't we know
about the situation?
694
00:45:04,201 --> 00:45:07,246
- If I thought
for one minute that Alex
695
00:45:07,329 --> 00:45:09,998
had a hand in killing
Maggie and Paul,
696
00:45:10,082 --> 00:45:13,669
then yeah,
I would be conflicted.
697
00:45:13,752 --> 00:45:17,297
But I don't think that
for a minute.
698
00:45:17,381 --> 00:45:19,007
Not one minute.
699
00:45:28,434 --> 00:45:30,310
- Everybody needs
to know the truth
700
00:45:30,394 --> 00:45:32,896
about every bit of it,
everything.
701
00:45:34,106 --> 00:45:36,608
I'm anxious to find out
a lot of truth.
702
00:45:38,735 --> 00:45:40,863
- Somebody knows what happened.
703
00:45:40,946 --> 00:45:42,948
They need to come forward
704
00:45:43,031 --> 00:45:45,534
for Mallory Beach's family,
705
00:45:45,617 --> 00:45:48,495
Gloria Satterfield's family,
706
00:45:48,579 --> 00:45:51,623
Stephen Smith's family.
707
00:45:51,707 --> 00:45:52,958
Bring peace and closure
708
00:45:53,041 --> 00:45:54,960
to the ones that's still living.
709
00:45:56,837 --> 00:45:58,172
- Somebody threw him in the road
710
00:45:58,255 --> 00:46:00,549
like a piece of trash.
711
00:46:00,632 --> 00:46:03,177
And he wasn't trash.
He was my son.
712
00:46:04,094 --> 00:46:08,015
And I will fight until the end,
till the day I die.
713
00:46:13,103 --> 00:46:15,189
- A lot of people hollering,
714
00:46:15,272 --> 00:46:18,942
and they want justice
for Mallory.
715
00:46:19,943 --> 00:46:24,239
Everybody says she didn't
get it, but she got it.
716
00:46:24,323 --> 00:46:26,200
There's a whole lot of people
717
00:46:26,283 --> 00:46:28,452
getting justice because of her.
718
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,791
None of it would have ever
been discovered
719
00:46:34,875 --> 00:46:37,377
if it hadn't have been
for that boat wreck.
720
00:46:41,798 --> 00:46:45,552
- The Murdaugh name
has been eroded,
721
00:46:45,636 --> 00:46:48,222
and some would say
that's a great tragedy.
722
00:46:48,305 --> 00:46:52,559
But I suspect more would say
it's about time.
723
00:46:54,478 --> 00:46:56,396
- You'll never hear them say,
724
00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,398
"We're happy
about what happened."
725
00:46:58,482 --> 00:47:02,569
But I think there's a sigh
of relief for a lot of people,
726
00:47:02,653 --> 00:47:07,115
because the Murdaughs
won't be in charge anymore.
727
00:47:09,993 --> 00:47:11,828
- Seems like they're enjoying
728
00:47:11,912 --> 00:47:14,665
the pain that the Murdaugh
family's going through.
729
00:47:14,748 --> 00:47:16,583
I've talked to one person
that said,
730
00:47:16,667 --> 00:47:20,128
"Yeah, they getting
what they deserve."
731
00:47:22,548 --> 00:47:24,883
It burned me up,
732
00:47:24,967 --> 00:47:28,470
'cause nobody deserves
what has happened.
733
00:47:30,472 --> 00:47:32,599
- Everything about this
is tragic.
734
00:47:32,683 --> 00:47:33,976
Everything.
735
00:47:34,059 --> 00:47:35,519
For everybody.
736
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,481
You have to be held
responsible for what you do.
737
00:47:39,565 --> 00:47:45,362
But that doesn't mean that
the unraveling of this family
738
00:47:45,445 --> 00:47:48,907
is something to be celebrated.
739
00:47:50,784 --> 00:47:52,911
- That's always gonna be
our legacy.
740
00:47:52,995 --> 00:47:57,916
This whole area is gonna be
the poster child
741
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,086
for the actions of a few men.
742
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:08,302
- You go from being this high...
743
00:48:10,012 --> 00:48:11,388
Got nothing to worry about,
744
00:48:11,471 --> 00:48:12,699
everything in the world
that you want...
745
00:48:12,723 --> 00:48:14,182
You got the land,
746
00:48:14,266 --> 00:48:17,561
you got the money,
you got the power...
747
00:48:17,644 --> 00:48:20,689
And then it just crumbled.
748
00:48:21,940 --> 00:48:26,903
- What was once
a bustling dynasty
749
00:48:26,987 --> 00:48:30,240
is literally reduced to rubble
750
00:48:30,324 --> 00:48:31,825
because of greed,
751
00:48:31,908 --> 00:48:34,786
ego, power-tripping.
752
00:48:36,204 --> 00:48:37,998
Olympus has fallen.
753
00:49:51,613 --> 00:49:53,407
- Your time is up.
