We got to know right now now, podcast are not on trial the year today. We're covering the capital crime. Welcome to last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen.

I didn't get the sweater vest memo. I'm sitting here with two pastel wearing sweater vest morons. Do you know who I am? Do you know who my ditty is? I was listening to Strawberry Wine all morning getting in the mood for today. Listen, all right, I don't care. I love wax. wagon wheel makes me cry 17 they did my circumcision to wagon wheel they use a wagon wheel

I wish I could have gotten my face more red yeah yeah yeah yeah I feel like that's what I'm really missing I we can always stop and just put you under a lamp for a couple hours Oh, there it is. There it is. There's that windburn from illegally driving a boat. I'm going to meet you by the dogs. My name is Sparkus Parks. I'm here with the pink and gray Henry Zabrowski. Thank you. Now, Eddie, we have to remember today. We have to distinctly separate ourselves today in our South Carolina representation. Yeah. Because we're headed into the trial. We're going to head into the whole thing with Alec Murdoch. And this is really where we're going to head towards full-on,

po-dunk, yip-ya-ye-a, fucking big old knees in the sky, South Carolina loyal. Hey, man, I love fireworks. I like butterfly knives, you know, and I like fighting my family. We've got to remember. So if you're going to be Dick Harpoon-in, you're down there. Oh, okay. If you're also in the prosecution, right to prosecution, he's coming out in here. He's a famous, Alec Murdoch, he's famous for trial.

He's a trial lawyer. Yeah. He was all ahead of the trial, Lord, because he's just trial. One man, he don't kill his whole damn family. You see that? I'm not seen it, not seen it, I've seen it, I've seen it. Because we have to separate it from Alec, because remember, Alec is up here being like, Oh, the wild of the tails of what we weave.

Oh, the tales we weave. Remember, that's a crying timber of a guilty man. Yeah, how about, God damn it, Daddy, why'd you let me take that boat? He's dead. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. We've also got with us today the color of pastel green that Ed Larson is wearing today. I don't think I've ever seen that in nature. Yeah, man. It's my feaster green. I call that. You know what that is, man? Republican foot green. And here we are at the conclusion to our series on Alec Merdy. Yep. So when we last left the Murdoch family, Paul had just been responsible for the death of his friend Mallory Beach,

who'd been killed in a drunk boating accident in which Paul had been driving recklessly, to say the very least. Alec Murdoch, of course, had come to the defense of his horrible shit stain of a son immediately upon hearing of the crash, and had arrived with his father, Randolph Murdoch, the third, at the hospital where the survivors were being treated that very night. Now, instead of inquiring after the safety of the young adults who'd been injured as a result of his son's actions, or asking what the progress was on the still-missing girl, Alec Murdoch had gone from room to room to tell the kids that if investigators asked them who was driving, they were supposed to say they did not know. I did not know that.

That is absolutely slandered. No, I was just a skittering. I just was a skittering in. I was just a tinkering. That's a big thing that's going to come up today. A lot of skitterin and tinkering. A lot of skittering and tinkering. Well, the purpose of this was to muddy the waters of the investigation, and that's if a proper investigation were to ever even happen.

And that's a tragedy of it itself, Marcus. Yes. See, because of the Murdox connections, the authorities were doing their best to make Paul's many crimes go away. But after years of the Murdox, expecting people in the low country to either fall in line at their word or remain too terrified to speak up at all, an attorney named Mark Tensley had finally decided that the Murdox were, to put it simply, a bunch of pieces of shit. And someone needed to finally stand up and take them down. When you openly kill a cute little blonde girl,

that's it. That's it really it. In America, yeah, you're done. No matter what. I found it interesting because, for those of you that obviously you guys know I watch a lot of body cam footage and a lot of trial footage.

A lot of interrogation footage. A lot of interrogation footage. But part of what I really like is this is what I would call justice porn, which is what I like. Go watch the two-hour put together cross-examination of Alec Murdoch. Because they talk about this night a lot in the cross-examination because they really wanted to talk about his reputation. And what I found interesting, which I did not know until I re-watched this, was all of the stuff with the solicitor's badge.

Yeah. So he would use the badge of his father and he would use his fake deputy badge he got too. Well, it wasn't his badge. It wasn't his father's badge. He had both. It was a volunteer solicitor's badge. But then, if you look at the paperwork of the badge, it's not volunteer at all. He is a full official deputy of the fucking, he's a cop.

Assistant Solicitor, I think that's what it was. If you listen to the way Murdoch talks about it, it's all, he plays it down, and then you look at the fucking paperwork. All that is being said, he would leave the badge on the dash of his car when he was driving. Number one to get picked up when he was drunk driving, so the guys would leave him alone. Of course. Yeah. And the second was, in the footage of the hospital, he's waving that badge around. And he talks about how he didn't bring the badge to the hospital.

And that's how he got behind everything. He's waving. And that's also the reason why everybody was automatically listening to him because he was acting like a police officer. Yeah, he probably wasn't even saying, I'm Alec Murdoch. No. No. Now, Mark Tensley took the Beech's case after most of the other attorneys in the low country had turned them down. But not because Tensley was an outsider.

To the contrary, Mark Tensley had dealt with the Murdox plenty. and had even once considered Alec Murdoch to be a friend. But Tensley was a man of at least some principle, and he had finally soured on Alec Murdoch's cynicism after practicing law with him for years. Tensley was particularly disturbed by how easily Murdoch could summon tears during closing arguments. A couple of times, after fake crying,

Murdoch would sit down next to Tensley and ask him, quote, "'I know you don't think that was too much now, do you?' Yeah, like a fucking asshole. You should see him in the trial because he does it. It's him because also he stops the sniffle and an an snorton. Because it seems to be he laid off the oxy for the trial. Just a little bit. Well, you had to.

Now, Tensley said that he also took the case because he had a daughter around Mallory Beach's age. But it seems like the moment that Tensley truly said, fuck this guy concerning Alec Murdoch, was when Alec boxed Tensley out of a million-dollar fee on a big case. You don't fuck with the lawyer's money. Nope. After that, Alec Murdoch was open season as far as Mark Tensley was concerned.

So Tensley jumped at the chance to take Murdoch down when the beaches gave him the opportunity. You know, and it was such an open, clear that he was going to win. Yeah. You know, everyone knew it, and he's like, I'm going to get this motherfucker.

He's got him dead to rights and he was happy to do it. Oh, yeah. Now, by the end of March, Mark Tinsley had filed a wrongful death suit against multiple members of the Murdoch family for the death of Mallory Beach. He limited it to people above the age of

21 because Paul was still a minor when the crash occurred. Specifically, Tinsley filed against Alec, Randy the 3rd, and Buster. Randy the 3rd got involved because he had allowed minors to consume alcohol at his home and leave drunk. Buster was in it because he'd given Paul his old ID to buy alcohol underage, the alcohol that Paul was drinking that very night. And Alec was named because he had allowed his minor son to purchase and drink alcohol on a regular basis. This was proved by the copious number of pictures on the Murdoch family social media in which Paul was very, very drunk. Remember that about your social media? It doesn't get deleted.

Yeah, even the stories. You think it's gone. It ain't gone. And he did it. No, yeah, because whenever these social media companies get subpoenaed, they flip. They just, they get it. And they magically have it all. Yeah. Apple's cool, though. Remember when they wouldn't give the money of those people who... To say it under Dino, they wouldn't hack the phone. Yeah. So, hey, good on them.

You're trying. Now, filing the suit had been necessary because Alec and Randolph's tactics and pressuring witnesses and influencing investigators had worked to a certain degree. But even with their meddling, Paul still faced three felonies, including causing bodily injury, boating under the influence, and manslaughter. He was facing, I think, 25 years if he got the maximum sentence on all three. And the guilty, that's really what the guilty, like, get in there is really what will superpower the civil suit. Mm-hmm. Well, none of that would matter, of course, if nobody could prove that Paul was driving the boat. And the Murdox were pulling out all the stops to get Paul out of serving a single day in jail.

For Paul's lawyer, the Murdox called up an old friend of Alex grandfather. Old Buster's friend was State Senator Dick Haupilian. Oh, there ain't no reason to be. be mad with old harput because he was just doing his doubt. That's all he was. He's a simple state senator. That's all. He's a simple senator.

He's just a friend. Alex's a friend. Bring the fucking firing squad back Dick our point. It's more humane than the electric chair is what I'm telling you. We got to bring back this firing squad

and shooting these men into hair. Oh, so guess what? it's a lot of fun too it's nice to see their hair it's blowed on contact with an iron jacket bullet in it and have a melon-like bullets and you know why not let's just go and put on a lottery

around here to see who all South Carolina's want to get in on that fire and squaw and I'm going to go ahead and put my name in the back so I can find myself it's expensive electrocuting these people I defended that man and I still want to kill his guilty acts Ed, you interviewed Dick Harputt, Leah. Like, not to, like, what was your vibe on Dick?

Well, my vibe on Dick was he wanted to sell his book. And he does, he is friends with the Murdoch family. There's no question about it. He's known him pretty much his entire fucking life. He was down, that was the one thing that I felt like I never saw anyone talk about. That's why I brought it up. I was like, you were also a county solicitor. You were fucking hanging out with Big Randy all the time.

He was like, yes, we were very close. I was like, yeah. It's a definite conflict of interest, but that shit don't matter, apparently. No, and I also think that Dick knows, which is what he sat here, and you can see why he was so sad, which is that he knows that this story

is the end of a very simple time in South Carolina. Yes. And he was really sad to lose that simple time when truly innocent times, when a white man can kill anybody who likes. He likes. Even another.

white person. Even another white person, if he felt it was properly justified because his son was involved. It was just a late-term abortion. Yeah, that's all. She's only 20 years, that's fine. When he comes down to it, they were Democrats. Yeah, they were Democrats. Don't forget, Dick

Harpoonley was a Democrat. They love, we love abortion. I love abortions. I think they should be fucking mandatory. I don't think kids should live. So I say, fuck him. Yeah, get it. But he is still fighting very hard to get Alec, his trial. It's not going to happen. Now, Dick

Harputlian was a household name in South Carolina. He was possibly the most well-known solicitor in the state. Famously, Harputlian had been the one who had sent serial killer Pee-Wee Gaskins to death row. That's a potter! And Harputlian had gained further fame after Gaskins

had tried to have Harputlian's three-year-old daughter kidnapped. But again, what do we know about Pee-Wee Gaskins? He was the liar and a moron. He did actually try to get the little girl kidnapped. But anybody can. I can. I can call anybody to try to get somebody kidnapped. I can try to kidnap all day.

Who do you want to kidnap? Secret secrets. Well, by the time of Paul's boat crash in 2019, Harputlian was one year into being a state senator. And although he only served from 2018 to 2024, he had enough influence nationally where Joe Biden appointed Harputlian's wife as ambassador to Slovenia, of all places, in 2021. one. It's a low pressure one. It's a low pressure one, but you do not get an ambassadorship unless you do someone a favor,

which means that Dick Arputlian had done someone a favor and had enough power to do a favor. That Joe Biden! I'm going to have to get rid of all my merch. I'm going to have to get rid of my Joe Biden dick sucking sleeves. I'm going to have to get rid of my Joe Biden

toe dick sucking sleeves. You got a lot of dick sucking sleeves. It's just because, honestly, my arms get cold. Really does. Now, that's all to say that even though the standing of the Murdoch and the low country community had lowered over the years, their name still had enough power to call down a senator to defend their dipshit son after said dipshit son had killed a young woman in a drunk boating accident.

Because that would be a waste of Paul's life, Marcus? Oh, of course, yes. Why would we ruin this young boy's life over one simple misunderstanding? It was a mistake. One tiny, tiny mistake. He's got so much future behind him. He's dead. And the Murdox still had enough money at their disposal to make it worth Harputy as well.

He didn't do this shit for free. Reportedly, his retainer was half a million dollars. That's why motherfucker ran and did it is because he knew they were liquid enough to fucking get it. And guess how they were liquid enough? Because Alec Murdoch was stealing from old people and children. That's probably why Harpoole is trying to get a... out again. Yes.

Because I get another half a million dollars. But also, again, it's because these guys all know if you could erase the sins that you're connected to, you are, you go back to innocent too. That means Dick Harputtlian's always been right. The whole system's always been right. And no one's ever abused it. No one's ever done this wonderful, simple place. No one would ever turn Hampton County into a place of murder.

No. Now, with Harputtlian's help, Paul Murdoch never spent a fucking day in jail. While it was standard for accused criminals in South Carolina to take their mugshots in prison orange, Paul's mugshot was taken at his hearing in the hallway outside of the courtroom in his street clothes. Never went through processing, never spent a day, never spent an hour uncomfortable. Just trying to make sure it was never a crime. This, of course, greatly angered attorney Mark Tensley, who saw exactly what the Murdox were doing. The Murdox used every trick at their disposal to push Paul's trial back again and again. and circumstances only worked more in the Murdoch's favor when the court shut down in 2020 due to what?

COVID. What? Remember? Do you think that they had something to do with COVID coming here? Do you think that Alec Murdoch went to China? Do you think that he went and he was just like, he first thing, he was like, where's the lap? I lost to see where their lap is. What's the most cuff?

And he goes around in there and he's just like, I read a cuff of my cuff of my mouth, cuff my dark, dark eyes. Cuff of my eyes. Is there anywhere around here? I need a bat. meet my pangolin. Anyone want me to listen to my Chinese lady

let's be Chinese lady I can't have them to see but your eyes are pink and juicy and kind of just want to lick them let us look at those big old crusty pink-filled eyes

well much of the beach family's hopes for justice therefore arrested on the wrongful death suit but the constant delays had hardened their resolve so when it came to making the Murdox pay the beaches decide that they wouldn't

settle for anything less than $10 million dollars and the case did go to mediation in September of 2020. But Alec open negotiations. He's always got a fucking bit. He theatrically

turned out his pants pockets like a hobo and then said You can't get any money for me because I don't have any. Hambroke. Yeah. Yeah. It's because he was moving his money into his wife's name. Well, Mark Tensley believed that this statement

was bullshit one way or another. So he filed a motion that would force Alec Murdoch to disclose his net worth and provide a detailed breakdown of a finances. Now we don't want to go all trouble all that. We don't want to be getting in and all that and wasting the courts time and wasting my time, wasting your time.

When a lot of it's buried in the field, it's not on... That's why I'm saying, we don't want to waste everybody's time I'm having to find these documents, having to source these documents, having to read these documents. I only wants to do that. All right, let's all go down it. Let's go around tippies. All right, why, why, go down, tip. Pickle shots

on me. Pickle shots? Dinsley, however, had no idea that even though Alec Murdoch had spent years embezzling millions from the Murdoch firm, PMPED, Alex finances were about as big of a mess as what you'd expect from a guy with an oxy habit of dozens of pills a day. See, by 2020, Alec was drowning in debt. He'd also lost a ton of money in 2008 during the financial crash,

and he'd fucked up a lot of real estate deals. That's what I didn't understand, too, is that that's a part of where all the money went, is too, is that I don't even know what it means by land deals going wrong. I don't know what that means. I think you buy the land and you expect to sell the land or flip the land and then no one buys the land. And so you just have to keep paying for the land. Because it's in this shitty county that your family made so awful. Oh, that's what it is.

Oh, it's because Hampton County's garbage. Well, Alex banker accomplice, Russell Lefeet, was moving massive amounts of money stolen from Alex clients from account to account to keep this whole thing going. From boat to boat, we move the loot. Don't you worry on it. I've got it covered in my five French slaves. All right. How about if we bury the money?

Take the gold from the port to the starboard. Then back to the port. Burry the money. Well, even a quick glance at Alex's records would show that Alec Murdoch was a crook. And besides the financial shell game, Alec was also writing hundreds of checks to his cousin Fasteddy.

Remember he wrote I think 437 checks. And it's definitely an ironic nickname. Yeah, Fast Eddie, yeah. And Fast Eddie was allegedly using that money to fund not only Alex Oxyhabit, but also finance operations for a potentially massive drug ring with tentacles throughout South Carolina. In other words, disclosing his finances was the absolute last thing that Alec Murdoch would want to do and the pressure to fix everything somehow, some way, began to slowly build over the next year of Alex's life. Because, you know, these crimes and these trials, Eddie, you don't know it yet, but they're so embarrassing for the family.

And it's so hard for the family to go through. My parents never found out about my trials. See, that's how stressful they were. I didn't kill them. I didn't kill them. Well, you could make an argument that I killed my mother. Because I gave her diabetes and then she died of diabetes. She chose to have you.

You could have been an abortion. That's right. Which you should have been if I was president in the United States. of America. Absolutely would have been, and so would have I. If I was an abortion, they would have taxidermied me and put me on a wall. You'd be in the mutter museum right now.

Slapp in a house for using a new like and gene t cozy. Even though Tensley had filed this motion, making it likely that others were going to look under the Murdoch financial hood, Alec was in too deep to stop the game now. He continued embezzling and defrauding his clients. He never paused once. Not even after the murders he kept doing it.

And underneath all this mounting stress, Alex's life began falling apart in all the ways that mattered most to Alec. By mid-July 2020, Maggie, amidst rumors of Alec engaging in affairs both paid and unpaid. I just like see him. You remember Chris Farley from that movie in Tommy Boy when it cuts to him, his old red face? And he's all like high and shit. She like comes in the living room. And he's like with a like prostitute who's like stuck on his penis.

And he's just like, honey, I need him. on the idea. This is all just been a big old mistake. Like how many times she's done that? It's like how many afternoons were spent like that. Fair amount. Fair amount. It's like Lloyd Bridges and airplanes. Oh, I picked the wrong week.

Stop fucking prostitutes. Stop swollen up and must have gotten nervous. I'm stuck inside of her. Kind of like a raw whileer who's having sex with a bisoned freeze. I need you to knock her out so that she relaxes because obviously right now she's very agitated. Super agitated looking to get off, right? So what you're going to have to do is Maggie, go get my clothes. hammer. Come on, Maggie.

If I don't finish, if I don't finish, I can't leave. Drop, drop. If I don't finish, I can't pay her. Well, Maggie moved out of Moselle and into their beach house on nearby Edisto Island. Reportedly, she told a friend that she just couldn't stand to live with Alec anymore.

At the same time, Paul Murdoch's Trail of Destruction over the years, was starting to be spoken about more openly. When boat crash survivor, Connor Cook, O Cotton Top, the one they originally tried to blame the whole thing on, They kept trying to blame it on him. When he gave his deposition in the boat case,

he alluded to the other mysterious deaths that had been linked to the Murdoch family in recent years. Connor alluded to the death of housekeeper Gloria Satterfield, specifically that Paul maybe had pushed her down the stairs in a fit of rage. But he also alluded to Paul's role in the murder of Stephen Smith. According to what Connor alluded to, Paul helped Buster dispose of the body.

Of course he did. If that was, in fact, what happened, they're tight brothers. You commit crimes together. See, I still feel like Buster's too much of a waterhead to do fucking anything. Doesn't mean that he wasn't there when something happened by accident. I totally understand. But Buster's head shaped like a portobello mushroom. Oh, okay.

He just wanted to make fun of his head. Yeah. I get it. I understand. He's so ugly. He's such a light. He looks like a light bulb. He looks like the character from SpongeBob.

Right? He's got a Patrick. Yeah. He's got that head and there's something about it. I don't think his brain works right. I don't know if he's even capable. I mean, we'll talk about it. It's like his toupee is a jellyfish.

Sure. Right from your way. Now, in addition to problems with Maggie and Paul, Alex's father, Randy the 3rd, was also dying from lung cancer right around this time. And Alex's mother was quickly declining due to Alzheimer's. Perhaps worst of all when it came to family legacy, though, was when Buster Murdoch was thrown out of law school for bad grades, but especially plagiarism.

Ooh, somebody's not good at school. Turns out if you just push through your entire life, you can't magically know it all when you get to college. Yeah, exactly. Now, Alec figured that he could Murdoch this whole thing by paying a lawyer 60 grand to get Buster back in, likely using money stolen from the glorious Satterfield settlement. But in the end, the University of South Carolina

told the Murdox that it'd probably be best if Buster just stayed away for a little while. Why don't we revisit this in a year? And then maybe the year after that. And then maybe the year after that. And then you got how much money you donate to us. Yeah, dude. And then you see that picture of him.

Buster sitting there with this fucking gross ass half beard with this. He's got a jacket on and he's got jeans on with no socks and no shoes. His feet in a fucking sand. That fucking disgusting animal. That fucking disgusting rodent bastard. I hate you dressed like this. I hate him. I hate him.

It does make you angrier. It does. It makes you so much angry. I don't like it at all. Can you imagine me driving around South Carolina dressed like this? Yeah. Every day being like,

we're going to need to talk about the length of your grass. You kind of understand them better. Sort of. Yeah, why they're so uncomfortable and miserable all the time. Sort of a suck. Ultimately, though, it seems what probably pushed Alec over the edge completely was when Maggie met with a divorced lawyer in Charleston in April of 2021. And this lawyer advised Maggie.

to start, quote, gathering numbers. Now, one of the themes that we brought up over and over again in this series is that Murdox don't divorce. Murdox do, however, murder. Which brings us to the motivation behind not just the murder of Maggie Murdoch on June 7, 2021, but the murder of Paul Murdoch as well. Now, this year, this is just my personal theory on this. I ain't saying this is the be-all end-all, because Alex, still to this day, has not said what his motivation was, nor is there any concrete proof for anything.

This is just what I think may have happened. We do have an extremely detailed walkthrough of what they believe, how the shootings went down, that tells to me this story very clearly. Now, Alec might have found a way to somehow avoid disclosing his finances in the Mallory Beach wrongful death suit. Maybe he would able, he might even be able to put it off indefinitely. I think it was pushing, he was pushing and pushing and pushing it.

But a divorce would trigger a full audit of a. finances, an audit that he could never get away from, and Maggie was almost certainly about to file for divorce. Plus, with so many other humiliations piling up, including Paul and Buster's respect of fuck-ups, some of them fatal fuck-ups, I don't think that being the first Murdoch to divorce was going to sit well with Alex's ego. They were also the first Murdoch family to really flex the money angle of stuff. So Maggie very much so knew that a lot more money was accessible than what he was getting paid. Maggie, therefore, had to go.

But remember that Alec Murdoch was a lawyer. His family of prosecuted dozens of murder cases over the decades, and Alec Murdoch knew how murder cases worked. He knew, for example, that he would be the main and only suspect if Maggie Murdoch was the only murder victim, because nobody

else had the motive to kill Maggie Murdoch. Paul Murdoch, however, was a different story altogether. See, the Murdoch name, had not shielded Paul Murdoch from criticism in the death of Mallory Beach like it had had so many Murdox before. But more importantly, no other generation of Murdoch had also had to contend with the scourge of social media.

The death of Mallory Beach had become a story in the true crime world. You're welcome. I was one of these guys. Yeah. And plenty of people inside and outside the low country were weighing in all over the internet quite aggressively on this rich boy who was getting away with kids. killing a pretty young girl. Paul did it and I'm glad he's dead.

I wish you could have died in jail. Yeah, sure, sure, yeah. Well, threats were being made by strangers. Low-key threats, but threats nonetheless. There was also, of course, the Beach family themselves, who were getting more and more frustrated with how slow the process was going in bringing Paul to justice. Finally, there was Anthony Cook, Mallory Beach's boyfriend,

who was also on the boat that night and had since cut ties with Paul completely. In other words, while there was a... only one person with motive to murder Maggie Murdoch, many, many, many people had the motive to murder Paul Murdoch. And so while Maggie was ultimately the target, Paul provided a revenge narrative that Alec hoped would throw cops off his personal scent. You know, if they hadn't killed the nanny, she would have been a suspect. Exactly. That's why it's important to keep your nannies close. Keep your nannies close. According to

Paul's friends, the whole people were coming after Paul thing was horses show. Oh, total bullshit, yeah. This town, right? Because I want to remind people of where this is and who these people are. Like, Alec, the first thing he said was like, Paul have many enemies.

You know, like, it was like the first thing and we'll get into it. They called him Paw Paw. Yeah, which is fucking weird. It's really weird. That's what we called my Papa. My grandfather, my Papa. Now, as far as why Alec was so willing to use his son as a pawn in the murder of his wife. A pawn pawn. Paul had proved since the death of Mallory Beach that he was not only expendable, but a true liability.

That's always a problem. Bad combo. Paul, yeah, being expendable and a liability. Holy shit. Paul had proved to Alec that he could not be trusted because Paul had not only continued to drink heavily on a near constant basis, Paul had also continued drinking on boats with friends. And if you ask why people still hung around Paul in this environment after a girl had been killed, you might as well ask yourself why young blonde women continued hanging out with O.J. Simpson until the end of his days. Some people just aren't that bright. People also just love money, access to a free boat.

They love when someone else is paying for shit. So they will just go take it and decide to just deal with whatever company is there. Yeah. And near the end of May, right around the time of Alex's 53rd birthday, authorities had stopped Paul with a boat full of drunk kids from going out onto the water. Instead of arresting Paul, the cops just took his booze and called Alec to come take care of it. He wasn't a minor at this point. He was 22, but even so.

He was driving a boat drunk. You never get to do it again. No, and you called your daddy again. And the whole daddy thing comes back into play. Oh, he didn't call daddy. The cops called daddy. That's what I mean. They all called his fucking father.

And then you're just being like, you're just giving your, never give your father too many reasons to fucking kill you. Because you never know. Well, this had been at least the second time that Paul had been caught by the police operating a motor vehicle while drunk since the death of Mallory Beach. That's just the second time he'd been caught by the cops. But because Paul was a Murdoch, the cops kept letting him go. So Alec knew that it was only a matter of time before Paul killed again. Now, coincidentally, this incident on the boat occurred just about a week or two

before the murder of Paul and Maggie. So it seems to me that this was the thing that made Alex. decide that his son was too much of a liability to continue the Murdoch name and was therefore expendable. And that's my personal theory for motivation as to why both Maggie and Paul were murdered that night. Heck of a theory. Next up makes total sense. And then also it's why he had the two separate guns. And it's why he set it up because then we're also going to see the other narrative, right? So revenge is one. Revenge is a big narrative. Revenge fueled by drug, like, you know, drug network. That's another thing.

thing, the idea of assassins. Sure. You know, assassins came out to Hampton County. He really does, and we'll get into it later, but, you know, he really does try to introduce as many possible motives as he can think of. He's like,

well, you know, there's Crooked John, but I'll never blame Crooked John for something like this. But, you know, there's murdering Matthew. But that's just a nickname. It's because of how many sliders from White Castle he can eat. That's all about it. But I can say, but we don't know where he was, the time of crying. Yeah, that's right. It is interesting that Paul killed

Mallory in the same place that her last name is. The beach. Yes. Oh, wow. And then he got killed in the same place that his last name. The dogs. Murdogs. That's an interesting... Stay away from parks. I love parks. I love parks.

That's a view into Ed's mind. It's a view of a like, Ed sees the world like as just sort of like words floating around and he just gay. You gotta connect them. Beach. Beach. She was there.

Dog. Dog. I like dogs. I sit dead on the show. That'd be good to say on the show. You're just lucky there's nowhere Zabrowski's live. No, we don't know. Now, Alec woke up late and alone on the day of the murders.

According to author Valerie Bauerline, Maggie was not living at Moselle by this point. Instead, Maggie was out at the beach house in a disto. About an hour away. The only person at Moselle who was tending to Alec on June 7th was the housekeeper they'd hired after Gloria died. This woman, a former prison guard, was Blanca Simpson. Person, they completely underestimated. Blanca was coming over that afternoon to stock up on Capri Suns for Alec, specifically orange pineapple tango and mountain cooler, because Alec got grumpy if the fridge wasn't always stocked with his favorite flavors.

Mountain cooler's gutter than a bitch. so big it's no Pacific son but it's fucking awesome I'm just like what's the last time you had a Capri Sun I actually

I took a sip not too long ago because I keep them in the bottom drawer in the fridge for whenever the kids come by sure yeah so they're like they hurt me now dude I love my mouth that shit's like crack for the kids

too you give it to them they all start you're like ripping at the trees and like clon at each other it's hilarious yeah that's why I don't think it was even a hot seat

that put out like over the edge it could have been the Capri Sun Now we're getting into the Twinkie defense. Ted Bundy was right. Now the jury they're wrong. Blanca showed up a little afternoon with the Capri Sons to find Alec getting ready for work. But she noticed that he looked extremely tired and disheveled like he was still wearing his clothes from the night before.

Blanca therefore fixed his collar and sent him out the door to his job at PMPED at about 1230 in the afternoon. Oh, I was going to hope you just... say that Blanco fix his collar and then jumped on him and started biting at his neck. And she started screaming and the electricity. Wow.

He, um, very often, he did the thing. These subers are crazy. Very often the guy kept, every time they call him, right, for work, he's always the, oh, I'm there, I'm on my way, I'm in the car. You know, in his underwear, covered in fucking fast food rappers chauvinoxi in his mouth.

Now, we don't know for sure if Alec woke up that day planning to murder Maggie and Alec. I actually don't think he did. I actually don't think he was planning it that day. I think he was waiting for the day. Well, I think that he was prepared for the day and knew that the day would come and that he knew it was coming soon. And it would happen any day and that it just happened to be that day. Yep. What we do know is that one more pressure point, perhaps the biggest one of all, was put on Alec just after he arrived late to work that afternoon.

Because Alec had fucked up at PMPED the same way that he'd fucked up with attorney Mark Tensley. You don't fuck with a lawyer's money. See, after PMPD had won a big settlement worth nearly a million dollars a few months prior, Alec had neglected to pay out the other attorneys who'd worked on the case. He'd gotten sloppy and had either forgotten, or he just decided to not pay them. Instead, he had kept the entire settlement check about $700,000 all for himself.

PMPED, therefore, started looking into Alex's books, and the chief financial officer had been asking a lot of questions, much to Alex's annoyance. He didn't think anyone was ever going to question him. By June 7th, the CFO was planning to fully confront Alec about the missing check, but just as she was in his office about to get into it, with him, Alex's phone rang. So almost like if it was in a movie,

you'd say it was too convenient. You'd say this is fucking Deus X. Machina. The call was from Alex brother, who was delivering the bad news that their father, Randy the 3, was back in the hospital with pneumonia and was sure to die soon. The CFO therefore

dropped their line of questioning and pivoted to consoling Alec Murdoch about his father's impending death. Alec, however, had just been handed a reason to call both Maggie and Paul back to Moselle that night. He got a hold of both of them and said that they all needed to go see Big Randy before he died. You got to come on home.

You got to go see Pippi. We got to go see Pippi. We got to go make sure we get that money. You had to get Pit Paul. Go kiss his lip. Yeah, Paul, Paul, come see Pippi. Paul, there's Pippi. Now go get Pippi kiss.

He's a treat. Yes, give us, give us the child. Oh, bastards. You know, and then this is the same thing where he's like all beat up about his dad and stuff, but I feel like it all comes down to the fact that he knows that it's fucking over. Well, yeah, I mean, when the CFO's asking questions, he ain't getting out of it. Well, yeah, because he also thought, he just thought it would never happen. Also, the other reason to get him out of it, I'm sure he's in his mind and gets all these people

out of so many things is when you pretend to be the fucking victim. Of course. Oh, yeah, dude. This was a godsend to him. He loved that his father was dying. It gave him the exact... I feel like he... He doesn't feel emotions. Alec Murdoch is one of those people that every single thing

is a way to capitalize on other people. So, when that happened, he was just like, fuck yeah. Yeah. When I got a hold of Paul, Paul said, fuck it, sure, yeah, I'll be there later. And Maggie reluctantly agreed. But she texted a friend, to say that Alex's request was fishy

and that she thought that Alec was up to something, but she didn't know what. And part of it's to remember of why he's such a big fucking liar is because throughout all of this, she's like, man, Maggie, we're the happiest we have ever been. We were nothing but every night we sang, I sang

to her to sleep. I thought of a song and I made up a song each night a different song about how we could have met. You know, like, no, she was not living with Well, they were also keeping it far under wraps from just about everybody, because even Blanca, their fucking housekeeper, seemed to not know that, like, anything was going on. It's because Maggie, I think, was starting to understand that she, something bad might happen.

Yeah, they were keeping everything on the down level. Well, she was smart. She fucking got her divorce lawyer in Charleston and a different county. She did all the side. That's how you got to do it. Yeah. But she didn't get out, sadly, very, very sadly, she did not get out fast enough. Yeah.

Well, Maggie was nevertheless on her way to Mosell by that after. And with both Maggie and Paul guaranteed to be at Moselle that night, Alec Murdoch presumably began psyching himself up to murder his wife and youngest son. Woo! Woo! Hive it up! Oh! Let's be it. Hang up!

Get your glory! However, it does beg the question. And this is a question that I, it just dawned on me today. Did Paul and Maggie ask why Buster wasn't there that night? night? What did Alec tell them? And how did he make sure that Paul and Maggie did not text Buster about the

visit? Did Alec tell Buster to stay away that night? And if he did did Alec give a reason? Perhaps did Alec give Buster the real reason? Buster! Well, it's not in the text messages, right? No. So he probably just didn't

want him there because he knew what he was going to do. And he didn't want to kill him. Well, I know. He was going to be a linnie about it. He was going to be like, no, did and now, oh, daddy, I sure wish he was away. We can figure this out. But what I'm saying is that how did he keep Buster away? Because, you know, of course, if Paul and Maggie are going to be like, hey, Buster, you coming on out? And Buster, like, well, I don't know what for. How did they keep, how did Alec keep him away? Because remember, he wants to keep Buster alive. He doesn't want to kill Buster. He told them all different reasons. Buster,

I believe, had an alibi. I believe Buster, the reason why he wasn't brought in fully was because he was, I want to say he was with friends. He was specifically not there. That wasn't the night that they were going to necessarily go to visit P.P. and Mumui, wherever their fucking grandparents' name is, who fucking gives a shit, right? They were going to go

visit them. That was like one of the reasons. I think that's what he told Maggie. Paul was there because ostensibly Paul was working on the land that night, right? He was doing this dumb shit tinkering and skittering, whatever they do. Right? Whenever they go, he said they go around we'd miss around. I'm going on with Paul.

Yeah, you're on the ATV. You got to check the land. You got to go check. You got to check the property. Sneaky big it in. We're going over here, going to go in a log over here. Yeah, you're turning to a little frog. Going over here, talking to a bird.

You know what I mean? Like, all was like, something like, fuck you, dude. And so I, I, that is why I think Buster literally just couldn't be there. Paul was there for another reason. Maggie was told to be there for another reason. I think Paul was just a surprise to see Maggie. And by the time all of that was happening, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Paul was not surprised to see Maggie.

Paul and Maggie had texted that day because Paul Well, because Paul had asked like, what are we eating? And she said, oh, Bronca made us keeb steaks. Yeah, country fried steak. But then she knew, yeah. But yeah, Buster was in there. Their last meal was fried steak. Yeah, chicken fried steak.

Incredible meal. Yeah, called steak burgers. I don't like it. I like chicken fried steak. Yeah, you would. That's a real sudden thing I like. I like a nice soul food deal. Mm-hmm.

Now, Alec arrived back at Moselle around 6.40 p.m. on June 7th, while Paul got there about 20 minutes later. The two of them got into their ATV and took a rider on the property, specifically to look at some trees that their new groundskeeper had damaged. Paul, giggling like an idiot, took videos of his dad

fucking around with one of the trees for Snapchat, because Paul was constantly on his phone. Because he had canceled his Facebook account because of the crimes, but he still loved his Snapchat. Yeah, yeah. Then Paul and Alec went back to the house at Moselle, where they were soon joined by Maggie. The three of them ate

dinner together, then went down to the dog kennels where they kept their hunting dogs locked up day and night like a bunch of shitheads so Paul could check on a dog that he was watching for his friend. Rogan Gibson. Oh, you mean Ro-Roe? I fucking hate these fucking people. I hate these fucking waste

of space. Do they call him R-R-R-R-Roh? This is a part of when he gets on the stand, Alec Mar-Roll... Why do they all talk like their babies? Because they are... They infantilize everything to make it sound not as serious. They do everything like this. It's over-familiarity. It's this thing. Be while they're all getting paid.

Every one of them's on the fucking payroll. But he's calling him Roro and Bing Bong and Grandma fucking Snappy and all this dumbass southern nicknames and each one of them. It's like, and they have to correct him on the stand because they're like, who's Roro? He's like, well, that's Rogan, blah, blah, blah. And they're like, you've never referred to him as Roro before. He's like, we all call him Rowe. And there's Paul, Paul, and, you know, Grandma Dippy and all this kind of shit.

Like, fuck you. Yeah. It's this sort of like, it's this false folksiness that is supposed to like. Wealthy. I wouldn't have cost. I would say, you know, we will blast, we'll blast, you know, and I'll never consider us a wealthy or important family.

We don't think in terms of that. Yeah. Well, you want to make a jury like you seem simple. And then he crouches like this. He's so small, he's so delicate. Even though he's six foot four. Now, Alex's plan was simple, although it was hastily put together.

He was going to kill his wife and son down at the kennels, go visit his mother in town, to establish an alibi, then quickly head back to Moselle where he would, quote, unquote, discover the bodies. Oh, no. Oh, God. And so, Alec, Maggie, and Paul went out to the dog kennels a little before 845 that night. Maggie played with her dog Bubba, and Paul went to go check on his friend's adorable little

chocolate lab cash who had an injured tail. Poor puppy. Now, we don't know exactly when Alec began his short murder spree. But we do know that Paul was still alive at 848 p.m. because that is when he sent his last ever text. You up? Yeah, it's 845. A friend of Paul's asked him for a movie recommendation.

So Paul told his friend that he should watch the remake of A Star is Born, the one with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, it is fucking awesome. Do you think that pushed him over the edge? Because it's the worst of Star is born. Yeah, of course. Within minutes of sending that text,

Paul Murdoch. would be dead. A real recommendation is that Chris Christopherson is Star is born. I was like that's incredible. That's an incredible.

And technically the Judy Garland Astor is born is also a classic of cinema that you should watch ahead of time. I don't bother with that one. Isn't that the Chris Christopherson? Isn't Barbara Streisand

that is? Oh yeah. No, she's incredible. I love Bob. That's Starsborn. Whatever Paul's saying is horseshit. Yeah.

Another reason I'm glad he's fucking dead. I am happy that that was his last movie. Yeah. Now, Alec had two guns with him that night out at the kennels, a shotgun and an AR-15 rifle. While Paul was in the small feed room at the kennels, investigators believed that Alec laid the AR-15 against the room's outside wall without his family seeing him approach with the guns. Or hell, they may have seen Alec walking around with two massive guns because there were so many fucking guns on this property at all times that any one of them carrying one or two guns. guns wouldn't have even merited a comment like hey what are you doing with those guns yeah because

they loved it that's fine i'm to sneak up on my family first i got to remove my slide-on sketchers put on my compression socks so that my veins are making any noise and then i'm just going to sneak a sneak a sneak out there ding ding ding ding ding ding sh sh shh real quiet like You want to shoot some dogs? Oh, wow. Son, what an amazing idea. Whether or not, Alec was being sneaky. Once he laid the AR-15 in position,

he picked up the shotgun and approached Paul in the feed room, where he fired a single blast into his son's chest. I literally think it was like a spin move. I can see him doing like a, like around the corner and just blah! Mm-hmm. Now, Alec probably thought that this would be enough to kill Paul. But even though Paul was a bastard, he was also a tough bastard, and the initial blast was not enough to take him down.

After being shot, Paul began walking toward Alec, who was standing just outside the doorway to the feed room. Neither out of fear or panic, Alec crouched down next to the door, and when his son walked through the doorway, Alec fired upward at close range. This, of course, was the fatal shot. It completely separated Paul's brains from his head and turned his face into a loose mask of skin that barely settled upon the skull. The blasts at

bits of bone flying into the feed room ceiling and Paul's red hair mixed with his blood splattered against the doorframe. As undignified in death as he was in life Paul had been killed wearing a t-shirt that said in big red lettering bam bam

thank you ma'am. See but this is why these shooting patterns are also the reason why we know it was not done by a professional a professional would have done it correctly. I mean, like, seriously. Are there professionals there?

Yeah, but no, if there were, no, if this was a, an assassin. Oh, so he was saying it was an assassin, not like a murder out of, you know, that they had prepared that many people had come to do this. This is not a one-man operation. This is a several-person operation that came here and systematically murdered his incredibly canny family. Mm-hmm. Now, it's thought that Maggie was a fair distance away when Paul was killed, and she probably came to see what it did.

happened after hearing the two shots. But by the time she saw her son's dead body, it's likely that Alec had already picked up the AR-15 that he had set aside. This, however, wasn't due to Alec planning on shooting his wife from a distance. Instead, it's speculated that Alec believed that if he killed Paul and Maggie with two different guns, then investigators would think there were two shooters, because what single person uses two guns at the same crime scene? Only the smartest criminal in all South Carolina.

But it's likely that once Maggie saw her youngest son lying on the ground with his brain splattered all over the place, Alec had already fired, shooting her in the stomach and upper thigh. Another bullet went through her wrist, shattering her tennis bracelet, which scattered the ground with tiny diamonds. It's thought that Maggie then fell to her hands and knees, where Alex shot her again with the fatal bullet, one that was powerful enough to go into her chest and travel all the way up her body into her brain. Alec then walked up and fired one more shot into her head execution style to make sure the job was done.

And by splitting his wife's skull open with that last bullet, Alec Murdoch had removed both the possibility of divorce and his inconvenient son. Wow, I get it now. What, Wham, Ban, thank you, man. No, just this whole scenario. Van, Bam, thank you, ma'am, indeed. Wow. And this is what points to the fact that somebody who's never killed somebody before. They really are, this is a...

It's very sloppy. It's extremely sloppy for a hit. But also, he knows how to get away with this shit. He thought he did. Yeah. Well, obviously. Yeah, I think that what he did is that it was just... He tried throwing too many ingredients into the suit.

But I think he should have stuck with one story and gone with that. But he just, he threw too much shit. out there. Well, there was one thing he tried to pull back and it'd be the thing that sunk him. And there was nothing he could do about it. After committing the murders, Alec also committed to his alibi. After changing clothes, he called Maggie's

phone, then sent her a text saying he was going to go check on mama, and it'd be right back. And interestingly, in quick succession, Alec then called his son buster, a fellow attorney named Chris Wilson, and his youngest brother, John Marvin. John Marvin also

was quite adept at cleaning up crime scenes. In the past, she'd been the one who had gone down and removed the boat that had killed Mallory Beach from that crime scene. Well, this was all before Alec arrived at his mother's house at 9.22 p.m., about 30 minutes after the murder. Alec then went up to check on his mom,

then spent a small amount of time watching TV with his mother's caregiver, who said Alec looked fiddy. Alec was only at his mother's house for 20 minutes before leaving to head back to Moses. I'm just skittering. I'm a skittering out of tinker. That's how I'm doing.

You don't want a skitter and ticker with me? Come on, come on here. Hey, here, have this pill right here. It's going to help you skitter. We've ever done that? You're a skitter before? Right, listen, now you're skittering. I ain't got time to skitter.

I got to go. I'm on red. I'm in a wish. I got to skitter. There's different. There's a different. Scoot and a skittling. Now, let me explain.

Yep. And after that, I got about two hours of skedaddling. Oh, you know, skedaddling goes. Alex then called Paul's phone a couple of times. Do people ever Irish skedaddle? Continue, I'm sorry. I just never heard that. Alec then called Paul's phone a couple of times and texted Maggie a couple of times as well.

Texting things like, babe, call me back, just to make it all look good. Alec also, sometime between the murders and the visit, either disposed of the murder weapons or hid them where someone else could get rid of them later. To this day, neither gun has been found. Or is close. Yeah. Yeah. I believe that was a John Marvin.

job. It could, well, I mean, according to one, I believe, YouTuber who sent a drone onto the Murdoch property, he did capture video of John Marvin and Buster removing guns from the property. Yeah. Yeah. In plain day, literally in the sunshine of the day. Yes. Finally, though, Alec Murdoch returned to Moselle at 10 p.m.

and arrived back at the kennels at 10.05. With everything in place, Alec then placed his infamous call to 9. to give the performance of his life. I don't remember, Alec, before I make this call, okay. Assassins have entered in Hampton County. All right, make your motivation. Assassins have entered in Manhattan County. All right?

What do I? Oh, okay. Now, Alex, actually, you don't know if they're assassins. We don't know yet. We don't know yet. We are. We blame no one. We are just open to facts.

We're open to facts. We're helping the investigation. We're open to facts. And after you make this call, you can have a little reward of a couple oxy. Okay, you have one to you couple oxies and you have a capric sign. To wash them down. And if I don't get arrested by the end of the night, then I can have a bowl of fruity peppers with the sugar on top.

Now, be nice. And then I can watch my favorite videos. You can watch all my favorite videos. I love Theo Vaughn. I think I'm going, you know what? My favorite video is. I like that one where they hippo be shitting. Oh, a hippo be shit.

Oh, Robbie, my ditty. Is that in the colorblind glasses? I like the colorblind glasses. I also like the ones where the women are getting shot in the head. Oh, my God. I killed my wife. me. All right, let's hear the call. Hands timing now in one

one way of emergency. I'm just a valid 147 Moselle Road. I think the police is passes immediately my wife and child been shot badly. All right.

That's really all you need to hear. My wife and child has been shot badly. I'm trying to figure out how to get my voice to do it. It's so hard to my wife and child of Michelle Badly There is like probably like a hint of like actual pain in there

Because he realizes what he's just done Yeah he just it was Eddie It was really hard on him Yeah That's what I don't think you understand It was super difficult for him to do it And it really bummed him out

We never think about the annihilators In the family annihilators Like what does it do to the annihilator Because then guess what he is alone Yeah Is to go through it all alone He's got Blanca? That's right.

He's got Buster. Oh, he's got E Honda. He's going to be there. He's got his dad for another couple hours. Sure. Now, the first authority figure to arrive at Moselle parked near the dog kennels about 20 minutes after Alec Murdoch made his call.

The deputy saw Paul's body first, lying face down with his brains at his feet. He then spotted Maggie, who was 30 feet away lying face down on the grass. Now, before the cops had even taped off the scene, Alec immediately began deflecting the blame elsewhere.

He said that his son had been in a boat wreck a few months back, which was weird because the boat wreck had been over two years earlier. Yeah, he's making it all up. Alec also said that Paul had been getting threats and quote, He's been getting like, like, punched. Yeah, he says he goes, punched. He's getting like punched. Yeah.

He's getting like punched. And this is like when there's one cop on the scene, and, you know, the dead box. are stolen the background and he's and Paul Throwing out out. Alex immediately throwing out like That guy. Oh, who's that guy? Who's that? Oh, oh, I'm not got this a big owl. Yeah, help you.

It certainly helps you not get cuffed. Yeah. That's what he'd, whoa, he wasn't cuffed. Yeah. They fucking went to his house. They did the little plit and take him to the station. Took a year. Damn.

Before Cuffs would go on him for these murders. But despite Alex's best efforts, investigators immediately noticed a few things about the scene that didn't add up. These are great cops tech. This is one of those few stories where it's like the cops actually did their fucking jobs in this. Best as they,

well, best as they could with all these fucking people around. I can't believe it, honestly. You could, like, the fact that they even, because he should,

for all intents of purposes, O.J. Simpson was right. Alec Murdoch should have walked. The fact that these guys actually put this all together is huge. Hey, I mean, and that's the,

and I think it also tells you, sled is huge. Sled is huge, but it also tells you, It tells you why a prosecution must have all of their fucking ducks at a row before they charge someone with the crime. They have to have the case. It's why it takes so long. Even though you can know that someone has committed the murder when you're dealing with somebody like Alec Mardock who is ensconced in the criminal justice system, his family is the criminal justice system.

You got to win. And when you see him on that witness stand, he is evasion. Yeah. He cannot answer a simple question at all. He won't because he's always assuming you're trying to catch him in something, which makes you look extremely guilty. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, as opposed to other investigations in which the Murdox took control immediately, the lead officer in this investigation had grown up two counties away. They had no fucking clue who Alec Murdoch was. The right guy showed up. Oh, yeah. Under the supervision of an unbiased investigator, the other deputies noticed that there were no signs of an ambush, no foot. Prince leading two or from the woods, no obvious defense wounds, and no signs of a struggle. All this, of course, pointed towards the likelihood that Paul and Maggie were killed by someone they knew. All these little things matter. Also remember, though, at the time, too, Alec is throwing his

badge around. So when they also first showed up, the first thing is they go into his car and you see the badge right on the dash. Now, by the time the South Carolina law enforcement division showed up, that sled, a group of a dozen civilians made up of family, friends, and acquaintances of the Murdox, and already arrived. But even though these people crowded up the scene, and made it difficult to collect evidence, authorities still quickly surmised that Alec Murdoch had indeed killed his wife and son out there. They just had to prove it.

Now, Alex's interview with investigators on the scene, conducted in Alex's SUV was rife with lies, half-truths, and wild fucking stories. Most obvious lie was that Alec claimed that he'd rushed to the bodies and taken both of their pulses to see if they were alive. But if he'd done that, he would have been both bloody and muddy. Alec was squeaky fucking clean.

That he was so clean, they went on to notice that he smelled like fresh laundry. Yeah. Because he went and changed. Yes. And he went and showered. Yes. Detectives also noted that Alec had freely admitted to handling Paul's phone without them asking if he had done so. Yeah, he was just looking out.

I was looking at it. He'd also given two explanations to two officers as to the reason why Alec, a former prosecutor, had handled evidence at a murder scene. He was like, I was just trying to, I was just trying to. Well, he told him, he told one investigator that he'd reached into Paul's pocket to get the phone so he could check something. Exactly. I got, I got, I wanted to check some. Yeah. But he told the other officer that the phone had fallen out of Paul's pocket on its own accord. And Alec had gently placed it back on the body. This inconsistency was, of course, noted by

investigators. Yeah, because he knew he was all over his son's phone. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he was trying to get to something. He's trying to see if he had recorded anything, but that fucker was locked up tight. Yeah, that was the thing is that what they say, you could see it. He pulled it out of his phone. Guess what it was linked to to open? His face. Yes. Guess what he blew off of his body. I'm not even joking.

Guess what he blew off of his body? His face. So he went to go, he literally went to go try to do it quickly and was looking at his faceless son that he just murdered and realizes he couldn't open the phone and then I could see he had a little mini attack. You know, and then went like, realize what he's done.

Dropped it. Yep. Well, finally, though, in an attempt to throw as many suspects at investigators as possible, Alec brought up their new groundskeeper, a guy named C.B. Rowe. Alex said that Rowe wasn't working out, but then tacked on an insane story

that the groundskeeper has supposedly told Paul. Now, my thing is, I don't want to throw anybody under the bus here. I don't know who would do something like this, obviously, but I did hire a professional murderer to work on the field. Yeah, I knew he was. Professional, I mean, he murdered for the government,

so I don't know if that makes him a professional. How do you call him tempter perm? Well, supposedly, this groundskeeper, C.B. Rowe had told Paul that when Roe was in high school, he got into a fight with a bunch of black guys. And an undercover FBI team undercover at Rose High School had seen him fight, and he was impressed by how he handled himself against black guys. Wow. So, whoa, he fought black guys? The FBI was like, oh, my God, nobody can fight black guys. Hey, wait a second.

My job. They're fighting black guys We need to hire them Because I'm afraid Of black guys Nobody fights black guys Like the FBI Fights black guys

That's Martin Luther King Jr. Yeah, it stands for fight black guys individually So impressed And this is according to Alec And Alec is telling this story In his SUV An hour

After the cop showed up to find his wife and son's dead bodies in the outside of their fucking dog kennels. I don't think he did it. Alex saying so impressed was the FBI that they put Roe on an undercover team with three Navy SEALs whose sole job was to murder Black Panthers from Myrtle Beach to Savannah.

And that's supposedly what Roe did before coming to work as the Murdoch's groundkeeper. Isn't a groundskeeper like, you don't hire one unless he has some kind of like shady fake story, right? Like, you need, they know, that's, you're not a groundskeeper unless he has a story like that. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's fake.

It helps. Right? Yeah. Think about the guy that helps your dad. Yeah. How many horrific things has he told you? None. He doesn't tell me anything horrific.

Because he knows to keep, because he's actually done horrific things. He keeps to himself. You know, he's like, because he hasn't done those things, he'd be confessing the crimes. You know, you could to hire a groundskeeper that kills Panthers, you know, in case any show up. Well, you want the dog cat Panthers. Yes. That's what I'm talking about. Sure.

Yeah. But also, you should re-home them. You should be killing them. He did say specifically radical Black Panthers. Although he might have been like they were radical Black Panthers. Tubular Black Panthers. Yeah, they were awesome. No, no, no, no.

So it'd be made the room on your Black Panther party. And then he used a half pipe to smoke oxy. Yeah. The whole, when they're investigating him or grilling him, he's in the front seat, which I found very weird. Yeah. He's in the front seat. and there are people in the back seat that are reaching up and like, you know, he's crying and boo-hooing about,

I found it, I saw his brains. And they're, you know, they're grabbing onto his shoulder. But they're also very suspicious. Yeah. So let me, like, help me understand. Anytime a cop says, help me understand. You're in trouble. You're fucked.

Yeah. Also just like putting their hand on his shoulder and stuff like that, I feel like is a good tactic. Just like treat him, make him think he's winning. And just let him keep talking. Dude, you know what's funny is that I actually have completely even reversed at just sitting here thinking about that? Yeah, it makes a lot of sense.

It makes him really fucking comfortable. It really makes him think that, oh, I've gotten away with this already, haven't I? And he can really start fucking lying. And then because the lying is what gets you later. It's all of the picking, putting it all back together. Well, they know that they all have to play good cop all at the same time with it. Like with Alec Murdoch, you have to play good cop all the time because he's telling so many lies. And he just keeps talking because he wants to talk.

He thinks he's so fucking clever. So you just keep this guy talking and he's eventually going to tell enough lies where you can just start tripping him up. What he should have done is should have just been fucking sad and puking and unresponsive as like anyone would who just lost their entire family. Well, that was one of the big tells for the investigators on the scene immediately because they said that, you know, when they showed up to murder scenes usually, relatives are inconsolable. And they're like, why are you? They say things like, why are you here? why aren't you out trying to find these people?

Why aren't you out trying to find... Why are you talking to me? Why are you should be out there? Yeah, and Alex's like, well, why don't we go sit down to my SUV for a little while? You know, maybe we can get chat, and I can tell you what's going on, you know, it's been hard. No, he talked about it like it was a...

He had the same feeling like it was something like, like a building collapse on the farm, or if like something bad, like, that wasn't involving the death of your family. He was just acting like it was just this, big old like... Oh, he'd acted like someone had come on

to his feet and shot a couple of his dogs. Yes. That's how... That is the same level of emotion he was showing was the level of emotion I would show if someone

had broken in my house and killed my dog. I mean, I'd show an extreme amount of emotion. Yeah, I know. Honestly, I'd be way more upset if something happened to car me than Paul. You know what I mean? I'd be way out killed.

You'd do something to car me, I'll fucking kill you. Yeah, but I would say I'm going to show more emotion if my wife was murdered than if my dog was murdered. And he's more showing And he's showing more dog murder level of emotion.

Guys, at home, ask your wife what she thinks. If you're with your girlfriend or your wife, just be like, who do you love more? This is a good, stop the show right now and ask them right now, who would you be more sad about if they died, the dog, the pet, or me? Do it right now. Ruin your afternoon.

All I know is, I don't see Julie spoon-feeding pumpkin in my mouth like she does tutsis. Back to Alec and the SUV. After he told them about the groundskeeper and the Black Panthers and all that bullshit, he added, he didn't really think that their groundskeeper would kill Paul and Maggie. But, you know, Roe, his history, it's worth pointing out. You might want to look into it. It's worth pointing out. Now, there was a fair amount of evidence at the scene, but it would be an incredibly long time before investigators could access it.

Most important, of course, was Paul's phone. But investigators couldn't unlock it. None of the Murdoch family knew the password. And Paul had never synced to the cloud. And they also didn't want to keep trying passwords and get locked out permanently. The other big piece of evidence was quite possibly the dumbest piece of evidence I've ever heard of in a murder case. Found next to the gun rack in the Murdoch gun room was what else but an empty bag of Capri Sun. Yeah, got him.

I don't know if it was Mountain Breeze or Pineapple Cooler. It didn't say in the court documents. It's Mountain Cooler and Pineapple Breezer. Okay. Kinky. Please. I don't want to get these letters. All this fucking sunheads out there. Well, according to the testimony of the Murdox housekeeper Blanca,

there weren't any Capri Suns in the house on the morning of June 7th, not until she stalked back up. And Alec did not take one with him to work that day. That meant that Alec had to have had that Capri Sun that afternoon. So investigators suspected that Alec downed one more sweet, sweet Capri Sun and absentmindedly dropped the end. empty bag, like a fucking assassin flicking away a cigarette

just before he grabbed the shotgun and the AR-15 that he used to kill his wife and son. She's like, chewing on it. There's also, I, Gary Oldman in the fucking professional when he eats the fucking pills. I honestly, I can totally see. Capri's sons

can make me want to kill my family. Investigators also spoke with Rogan Gibson, Paul's friend, the one who owned the dog that Paul was looking after. said that he had spoken with Paul at the dog kennels that evening, and he had heard Alec and Maggie talking in the background. Now, that's hearsay. It's not proof. He didn't record the conversation, but it did put Alec at the scene, and it directly contradicted the claim that Alec had made over and over that he hadn't been out to the dog kennels at all on the night

of the murders prior to finding his wife and son's dead bodies. That's a very important thing. He said he did not go out there until 10 o'clock that night. And he wasn't there. Fucking ro-ro-ro, ruining everything. Yeah, fucking ro-ro-ro-ro. somebody called Bingbong Somebody called Grandma Snappy Tell her what's going on And fucking dick her out of her fucking grave

Tell Gro-Gro Or whatever these fucking idiots I hate Southern people I don't know Hey hey hey I love the Southern people All right come on man You're getting too passionate

Yeah It's the best Yeah you're just too sweaty I think Yeah it's the ro-ro and the Pau Pau Pau It's fine It's just a different way referring to people

I hate Pau Pau We can have a good time down there. No, of course. I'll show you. I'll show you a good time. Take the little nicknames. Oh, like nobody in Queens has fucking nicknames for each other. Yeah, but they're fun.

It's all fuckface and shit. Robbie two times. Jimmy Dixelaw. Jimmy Dixel off. Julie the bat. And so, investigators had no other suspects besides Alec Mardock. They were in fact so confident from the beginning that when they had, announced the double homicide, they made sure to say, without naming their suspect, that there

was no danger to the public here whatsoever. They were so sure of it. And the murders, at the very least, had the effect of taking the heat off Alec Murdoch in the wrongful death suit that the beaches had filed against him. Because the morning after the murders, the judge in the Mallory Beach suit canceled the upcoming hearings set for June 10th. Three days later. So he's just like, I did it. Did it. Yeah. And of course, the judge did this out of sympathy. And this was extremely fortuitous for Alec because this was the hearing in which Mark Tensley had compelled Alec to produce his financial records. This may have actually been a third motive for the murders. He might have wanted to produce sympathy to buy time, figure out some other way of fucking getting out of this.

Yeah, because now he's so fucking down the oxy hole. He is no fucking, he is just a full monster at this point. Yeah. But investigators were not the only people who were looking at Alec a bit sideways after the murder of his wife and son. Seems like people in the Murdoch circle figured that it might be a good idea to let Randy the Third know just before he died, just how big of a piece of shit his son, Alec, really was. As Randy the Third lay on his actual deathbed, a visitor who knew about Alex's money juggling, told Randy the Third that Alec had asked him for two loans in the weeks before the murders for no less than $600,000.

Jesus fucking Christ! After Randy the 3rd was told about this and was told about the murder of his daughter-in-law and grandson, he supposedly grabbed the lapel of his visitor's jacket, pulled him close, and in full Southern drama form, said, quote, What has become of this family? You are my number one. God, my God. Please bring me to the brothel

To tell anybody What has become of this family? It's to tell everybody And I get my bottle That unfortunately for Andy the 3rd Was one of the last things he ever said Because on Thursday, June 10th, Three days after Maggie and Paul's murder

And coincidentally, on the same day That his son's financial crimes were supposed to be exposed to the entire world, Randolph Murdoch III died at the age of 81 with his family's bullshit legacy fully and deservedly in tatters. See you now! You failed.

That's it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You failed. Everything. Now die. Now, bye-bye. Bye-bye. Now, the Murdoch double homicide

quickly became national news. And before long, the deaths of Stephen Smith, Gloria Satterfield, and Mallory Beach were also being bandied about on Facebook posts, Reddit threads,

and of course, podcast galore. Yeah. It was a podcaster's feast in these days. It really was. It's still one of my favorite stories in the world, and it just kept giving. Yeah. For Alex part, he was continuing to insist that the murders were connected to the outrage over the boat wreck, subtly pointing investigators towards Mallory's boyfriend, Anthony Cook.

Maybe you ought to look that Anthony Cook boy. But since there was no evidence to support the outsider theory, and there was only evidence that Alec had done. done it, investigators continued searching for solid proof that Alec was the perpetrator because they knew that only a sure-fire kill shot was going to put him in prison for a good. Iron-clad case. Yeah, and if cook did it, it would have been in the kitchen. Funny enough.

Funny, funny. I'm sticking to the thing. Let's fucking shoot him in the head. Let's drop him in the swamp. Someone should kill me by dogs, so I'm fine with it. By dogs? You mean like next to dogs or with dogs? I want them to lick me.

Oh, that's cute. I'll never do that to you. I never make dogs kill. Well, to put even more pressure on Alec Murdoch, investigators announced on June 22nd that they had reopened the Stephen Smith murder, citing new evidence gathered while investigating the double murder at Moselle. They made sure to stay in public the Stephen Smith murder and the double murders at Moselle are linked. However, we still don't know what that evidence is or if any evidence, ever even existed. It may have just been a tactic,

just a ploy to put some pressure on Alec Murdoch. Yeah, the Stephen Smith murder is still open as well. It is still open. And it did, you know, it triggered, I mean, they exhumed his body. Yeah, at the very least. We found out that he definitely didn't die by being hit by a car. Well, I mean, there's a, man. Well, there is a, there's arguments about, like they say,

some say that, you know, the autopsy shows that he may have been hit with a side mirror. Yeah, sure. Am I very, but again, that still points to accidental death and then the kids trying to just cover up an accidental death, which I do think, while they were doing something nasty, an accidental death happened and then they were doing, and then they just childlike try to cover it up. And so rare that someone just sticks only their head into the road. It's super hard to do. Yeah, it's. Now, once things settled down a bit after Paul and Maggie's funerals, PMPED continued their investigation into Alex finances, sympathy notwithstanding. By September of 2021, two paralegals at PMPD had found hundreds of checks made out to Alex's fake forge account at Bank of America.

And these paralegals had compiled a damning case accusing Alec of stealing millions. They had them dead to rights. And after the case was presented to the partners, all of the partners. Even Alex's own brother had no choice but to fire Alec. They couched it, however, in Alex oxy addiction, because the oxy addiction had only gotten worse, and more obvious after Maggie and Paul's death. They all used this oxy ed addiction as like a cover. Oh yeah, no, it was the only thing they had.

Like it was like they'd sweep it away. And there's also seem like it almost is. It's like an insanity defense almost. Because then it's like he wouldn't, in his right mind. Yeah. He would have never have done this. Yeah, yeah. So therefore don't send him to jail because he was on oxy.

Come on. Yeah. Also, you're on that much oxy. I mean, it's pretty, I guess like the wrong word is impressive that you're able to kill a double murder. You know, to move that fast? Hey, we're going to get into it, like the whole Oxy thing.

I mean, because while he was an addict, he was what you would call a very functional addict. Yeah, he was also what we said before. He's one of those guys that takes Oxy and makes him filled with energy. Yeah. Well, the other thing, though, is I think, like, you keep saying that he was gacked out.

I think one of the things that, remember, he also was diagnosed with ADHD. So a lot of his, like, constant movements and fidgetiness, that's due to the ADHD. I'm talking about the snorting and the huffin and the lip sucking, and that is what he does. Yeah, what he does?

In the car. But he's constant like, yeah. No, no, yeah. Look at me. I can't fucking stand still for two seconds. And look at the size of my ass. Wow. Here we talked about this. No, it was the snorten. It's the snorten. It's the backdrip. You can hear he has a backdrip going on. There's something happening inside of it. But when you're crying, you're snorting.

He has no wetness. Yeah. When the cops showed up, man, he was fucking clean. Yes. Oxyclean. That was good. Well, Alex's brother was chosen to break the news that Alec was no longer welcome at PMPED, telling Alec that he could resign or be fired. Alec Murdoch, though, like he was the fucking David Berkowitz of financial fraud, just said, quote, I was new I was going to get caught eventually.

I'm just surprised it took y'all that long. That's a fucking prick. Yeah, like, but also what he does, it's humility. it's this thing again being like well that's a little old mistake I made and I can't believe you guys run up on that one you don't mean it's like There is egg on my face

He does this thing What is a boy to do? Oh the tangled webs weeweb Scramble eggs all over my face Now I think that Alec thought That he was just going to walk away from PMPED Having been fired and that was that But the day after Alec was told

That's bad enough Yeah it's bad enough But the day after Alec was told to leave His now former firm called up sled The South Carolina law enforcement division. PMPED laid out everything with sled to cover their own asses. And that, of course, triggered a full criminal investigation into Alec Murdoch. Don't forget to.

They didn't do anything until the lawyers lost money. Yes. This was September 4th. Yeah, they didn't even fucking look into it for a second. Couldn't give a fuck what happened to the little children that were paralyzed and the old people that he literally just took all the money from. It was when they finally took money from the inside. and then they had to cover their own asses so it didn't look like they were stealing money too.

Yeah, yeah. Well, this was September 4th, 2021, which ended up being a very eventful day in Alec Murdoch's life for multiple reasons. On this day, Alec Murdoch also made his infamous call to his cousin, Fast Eddie, to engage in activities involving firearms that are still somewhat of a mystery. So according to Fast Eddie himself, Alec called him up and met him on the road. After making a bit of small talk, Alex straight up. asked Fast Eddie to shoot him in his big, dumb potato head. Because investigators were going to prove that he was responsible for Maggie and Paul.

That out at Moselle that night, quote, Things just got all fucked up. Things just got all fucked up. Now, Fast Eddie, of course, at hell no, I ain't going to fucking shoot you. So Alex said that he was just going to do it himself, and he took off. I'm just going to... Well, I just do it myself. I don't need you to do anything.

I'll do it. I don't need anybody else. Well, he did that thing. He's like, you know, Fast Eddie, we're close, right? Like, you know, Eddie, we're like, brothers, ain't we? Okay, I'm going to need you to shoot me in the head. Right now. Right now. I'm going to need you to shoot. Like, pardon? Pardon?

Right. Hey, listen, you see this? What is it missing? A bulletin? Period. I need you to do something about that. Well, Fast Eddie drove after him. But when Fast Eddie caught up to Alec again, Alec had stopped his car on an isolated stretch of road. Alec got out, but was supposedly holding a gun when he did so, acting very erratically. Those noodle guys in front of the car sales place? Now Fast Eddie was, of course, also armed.

So to scare Alec out of shooting himself, Fast Eddie claimed that he fired a shot above Alex's head. Because that's really like when someone is holding a gun, the best thing to do to make them not use the gun is to shoot your gun in the air. I got, hey, listen, kids, Blam, Blam, Blah, Blam! I mean, everybody to calm down, all right? Everybody, blam, blam! I mean, it does work in every Western, you know? Because that's all Fast Eddie has seen.

Fast Eddie's never dealt with this before. He was fast on the draw. Well, he had to be. I don't think he was. It sounded like always was a slow rollout. When he fired the shot above Alex's head, Fast Eddie said that Alec fell like a fainting goat. Oh, ah!

And he hit his head on some rocks on the side of the side of the side of him. of the road. He absolutely did do. And after that, Fasteddie pretty much said, fuck this. And he just left. Yeah, he was just sitting there and been like, well, this is fucking stupid. You know for three seconds, he was so

fucked up that he thought he was dead. Oh, yeah, of course. He was just like, oh my God, heaven is just like Hampton County. It sucks. Now, that story is just dumb enough to be true. But if that is indeed what happened, then the knock on

Alex said must have restored his will to live because Alec Murdoch immediately found a way to spin this to his advantage every single thing in his life he spends to his advantage. See after Fast Eddie left Alec called 911 and told the dispatcher that he'd been on the side of the road with a flat tire when a young

man with really really short hair had driven up and shot him in the head now absolutely nobody believed Alex's story for a multitude of reasons when this news when this hit the news I'll always remember the day inside stories when this hit the news and I was like this is incredible

this is one of the this is such an amazing turn of events I remember you did like you ran into my office and you were like he faked committed to a shot him to make and shoot himself with that he's one of the best like there were no bullet holes in his car

and the wound on his head was so superficial that it just needed to be cleaned and bandaged. Have you seen it? Yeah. I mean, it doesn't look like a bullet grace. It looks like he fell on some rocks. Yeah, it looks like he has.

It's like gravel marks. Yeah. But even though everyone gave him just a, uh-huh, sure, whenever he told the story, Alex still gave a description of the so-called shooter to a sketch artist. And it just so happened that the person that Alex described looked a hell of a lot like Anthony Cook, Mallory Beach's boyfriend. And he came up with that shit like in fucking 10 minutes. that he's gonna fuck it that he's gonna

he fell on the side of the road he asked his cousin to shoot him in the head but you know he missed his cousin left and he's like I'm bleeding wait a man god damn it I'm bleeding what would Pat Nosswald say you know like he's just trying to figure out of it

his improv man just when you just the first thing to describe someone who just tried to kill you is short hair really really short hair really short hair not the height not their skin color

really short hair but you know what I I think he did say he's a white feller. You know what I'll give you? I'll give him one, the only piece of credit it'll give Alec. He didn't just put it on some random black guy. He had every, he definitely could have, didn't. He didn't, yeah, he didn't.

He really could have. You could have, you got to ruin a whole, but you remember when they sent the Sherry Pippini? Yeah. The whole thing, she's like, you know, making them go interrogate every single Mexican lady within 150 miles like what she did. Yeah. Oh, you know, no way. It's kind of fine. I guess there is that.

Yeah. Good to know he's not racist. Well, he is bad to that way. Now, once Alec was at the hospital, he pressured an employee to borrow their phone, and he very stupidly used that phone to call Fast Eddie. This suspicious call after Alex's suspicious behavior led Sled to search Fast Eddie's house, where they found a ledger of alleged drug deals that had Alec all over it. Why is he writing these down?

Alec 5,000 oxy. Many, many pills for illegal oxy for Alex. Alex, 10,000 pills getting more, need to order more, hoxy for Alex. It's so funny to listen to like Fast Eddie talk, because he God, he's such a fucking idiot.

Because he's, I mean, his trial. He's a groundskeeper, you know? No, Fast Eddie was just, like, he's like a mechanic. Yeah. But he's, but the thing is is that at the very least, you should know that if you have a trial coming up in the future, do not do a documentary

talking about the crimes that you were accused of. Tell it to Karen Reed. Yes, yes. I know. But Fastiddy's like on the Netflix documentary. He's like, yeah, you know what? They say I was a drug dealer. I wouldn't know a drug dealer.

Like, you know, every once in a while I get an envelope and I'd shake it and it and it sounds like, you know, like a rastnik. You know, it sounds like a rancic because you got that. It's just like I thought maybe the pills in there, but I didn't take it a pill in there. And then I just threw it all in the back. But I just, every once in a while, I go to an airstrip and I pick up a big box from this a little plane. I didn't know there was anything in it. I didn't check. I didn't check on

nut. I didn't ask no questions. I thought we were selling Maracas. One of my favorite things too. That's also the one where he was just like now, I asked Alec, is this money laundering? And he said no. Yeah. And I said no.

And I believe him. Whatever for Alex. Yeah. I believe him. Well, Slet also subpoenaed Fast Eddie's bank records and added the hundreds of checks written to Fast Eddie from Alec for the extremely suspicious amounts just under $10,000 to the ever-growing investigation into

Alex's financial crimes. And so, with Fast Eddie's checks in the mix, and Alex supposed attempted murder bringing the Murdoch name into the news once more, SLED finally announced that there was a full criminal investigation into Alex's funds. Specifically, they were investigating the

death of housekeeper Gloria Satterfield and the handling of her estate. And with the confirmation that Alec Murdoch had not only stolen from needy clients, but it also profited, off the death of his housekeeper, the news media turned against Alec Murdoch completely.

Not even Fox News is coming to his fucking aid this time. The final humiliation came and Alec was sued by PMPD, who had no choice but to pay back all of the money that Alec had stolen from their clients. Eventually, the firm dissolved and reformed without

the Murdoch name, which effectively erased the nearly century long legacy that Alec Murdoch's crooked family had worked, so hard and so sleazily to build. So that prison call, when he gets the word that they're changing the name of PMPED, he's like, oh, I don't know why they had to go all the trouble of that. Yeah.

And you're like, again, you just don't fucking understand that you're a fucking multiple murderer, you psychopath. Yeah. And Randy Ford. Yeah. Gotta be so fucking mad. So mad. You ruined everything.

Yeah, because, I mean, I remember Alak has. Three brothers. You know? Like there's Randy the 4th. There's John Marvin. There's another one floating around out there. Yeah, you're fucking, I got to... John Marvin suck my fucking dick.

Yes. That's actually very a personal thing for someone to do. You're right. You're actually right. It really is. You should think about that. I should trust him to do that for me. I don't know.

Actually, you should think about that. I don't think it'd be an enjoyable experience for you. Actually, you know what? You're right. Yeah, personally, I'm married. The only person who can do that, for me, he's my wife. Legally.

John Marvin should suck Randy Ford's dick. I see that. Okay. That's where my money should go. Okay. Well, with all of this hanging over Alex head... Why do you think they call him Buster? Exactly.

We're not even talking about us. I'm sorry, Marcus. It's fine. With all this hanging over Alex head, he brought attorney Dick Harputtlian back into the fold, along with attorney Jim Griffin, to defend Harputlian and Griffin,

managed to get Alec into rehab by blaming all of his crime. on his oxy addiction, but as soon as Alah got out of rehab, he was arrested for his financial crimes. Final. Oh, you know, the least they let him go through rehab. They did, yeah. Well, and that was very controversial

in itself because they let him go to rehab out of state. He's still getting these, like, small favors being done for him here and there, but the favors that they all have to call in, they are dwindling very quickly. Yeah, it's all running out. Now, Alec was indicted on 48 counts pertaining to his financial crimes in November of 2021.

With the Murdoch name in Tatters, his bond was set too high for him to pay. I think it was seven million. So Alec was sent to the Richland County Jail. Incredibly, though, after Alec got his bearings, he actually seemed to enjoy jail. As author John Glap put it, Alec was a lifelong hustler who adapted easily to life behind bars, where Alec was dealing with million-dollar settlements on the outside just a year prior, he was now haggling with criminals using honey buns and pop tarts. But the principles were basically the same. Alec even bragged in jailhouse phone calls to his surviving son Buster

how he had mastered the jail's barter economy. Buster listened, honestly sounding both bored and embarrassed, as his father boasted about winning six soups, four beef sticks, and a bunch of crackers for betting on NFL games with other prisoners. That's great, diddy. Now tell me, keep you. you kill me next? I want to die,

can you please shoot me? I am saying when I was in jail, I was very surprised at how little they all wanted to watch football. We talked about this and they watch cops. Yeah, they watch cops and they love Smallville. And there's something we talk about

how it almost has a sleepover vibe sometimes if you're in jail. No, yeah, but not where Alex Alex was because he was with the violent guys. Yes. I also... Well, actually, at this point he's not quite with the violent guys, is he? Because he's in the jail for financial

crimes right now. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. So he's a he isn't, but he is in Gen Pop because when he first got in, he got into a, he got a black guy because he got into a fight with the guy over a weight machine. And then he was put into the medical wing as like kind of to keep him away from the other prisoners. And he like told Dick Harpooning, he's like, you know, I kind of got a little soft, but I bet I could take some of these guys in this medical wing. Yeah. You know, like, these guys are all just, they're all completely delusional. He's also good does a call with John Marvin where he's just like talking about how hard it is for him to get his ibuprofen and he needs to get more ibuprofen because he's hit his ibuprofen limit and he's got shoulder issues because he's working out all the time you see him now he's lost all that way it looks great

right and then he that's the problem is that he needs his brother to put money and another guy's commissary so that he could get him to buy him ibuprofen for him which is also a crime he's so he's already breaking crime he's breaking all he's breaking wall to the jay and jail rules over the phone, willy-nilly. Yeah. But as the months ticked by with Alec in jail, awaiting trial for his financial crimes, SLED was still doing everything they could to find evidence that would form a strong enough case to finally indict Alec in the murders of Paul and Maggie Murdoch.

See, they still had Paul's phone, but they were afraid that they'd be locked out permanently if they'd tried too many codes. Eventually, one of the detectives reached out to the Secret Service for help, but the agent on the other side said, just try the little idiot's birthday. It's always a birthday with these guys. And sure enough, when they finally said, fuck it and just punched 0414 and the Paul's phone, voila, phone unlocked. And the evidence they needed was found almost immediately.

And that's all like, Alec is just sitting there being like, is my, how dumb's my son? He's sitting there wondering, gauging, how stupid is my son, what is he going to do? What is he going to do to fuck this up? You don't mean like that style? like, you know, like, and then I bet you there's a hot second where he's like, I might actually get away with this. Yeah. At the very least, you know, like, just going to have to deal with the financial crimes. Yeah.

Not going to have to deal with the murders. Man, you know, Alec was pissed off as hell when he found out the code was his birthday. He's like, I should have tried it. I should have tried it. I should have tried it. I should have thought that fucking idiot. Or he's in there. He's like, can't remember his birthday.

Yeah. Or he's sitting there. He's like, fuck, fuck. Well, unbeknownst to Alec, Paul had recorded a video at the dog kennel minutes before the murder. Paul had tried a face-time with his friend Rogan to show Rogan his dog's tail injury, just a couple of minutes before Alec killed everyone. But since the reception was bad, Rogan had only gotten audio,

which is when Rogan heard Alec in the background. But after the FaceTime failed, Paul took a video to send later. And while investigators watched the video with Paul trying to get a good shot of the dog's tail wound, they heard, much to their great relief, Maggie shouting in the background about her dog Bubba catching a bird. Then finally, they heard big old puss face himself, Alec Murdoch, calling after Bubba as well. With his extremely distinctive voice.

Come here, Bubba. Come here, Bubba. Come here, Baba. This proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Alec Murdoch was indeed at the scene after he said over and over again that he wasn't. Finally, though, investigators got one more piece of strong evidence. months after sending away Alex Shirt to a crime lab for blood testing, the results finally came back positive.

Microscopic blood spray, invisible to the naked eye, was indeed found on Alex's shirt, which meant that even if he had not been the one to pull the trigger, he had been there when they were killed. He was wearing some kind of covering. Mm-hmm. And so on July 14, 2022, over a year after the murders were coming, committed, Alec Murdoch was finally charged with the double homicide of his wife and son. Get him!

Now, Dick Harputlian had gamely decided to stay by Alex's side until the end. After Alec was charged with murder, along with the dozens of other crimes, Harputlian agreed to defend him in this case as well, for, of course, another sizable retainer. He's getting his. Murder is a, that's a bigger charge than financial crimes. And so, it was Harputlian and attorney Jim Griffin at Alex's side when his trial began in January of 2023.

Appropriately, a portrait of Alex's grandfather had to be removed from the courtroom during the trial, and that

portrait of old buster was never hung again. Burn it! Hopefully one day they'll hang Alec though. Now, Harputlian's

original defense rested on Alex claimed that he had not gone out to the kennels that night prior to finding the bodies.

And Dick had reportedly believed Alec when he said, I didn't kill nobody, I was never out there. I don't know

what happened. And that was Dick's whole thing. I actually kind of, again, I don't feel bad for him. But I do think that he was missed. He also was taken in. He was. And so was Jim Griffin. Like the way that Jim Griffin talks about in the first season.

They're like fans of Alec. In the first season of the Netflix documentary, before he was charged with the murders, like the way Jim Griffin, like he had to have felt like such a fucking moron. Yeah. With how much confidence he had talking about Alec Murdox. sense. That's his job. Yeah, of course. But the way it went down was wonderful. Honestly, it makes me want to hire him. Yeah, sure. Yeah, I don't think Dick or Bootley is a bad person to call if you need help. He's a great fucking lawyer. Yep. If you got a, if you're an update, we are not

against defense attorneys here. No. You have to be properly defended in court. We know that more people, like, people are innocent and go to jail. It happens. And it's because they have bad lawyers. So you need to have a good lawyer, no matter what size. by reportedly old dick was stunned in the silence when he was shown paul's video the one where alec can clearly be heard calling for bubba in the background and so harputlian was reduced to just saying over and over again that alec he just didn't do it and he was hoping that the jury would just kind of say all right and during his opening arguments harputtlian told the jury quote as you sit right there and right now when you look at him you're

have to believe he's innocent. He didn't do it. So basically Dick's defense was, just look at that face. That sweet, sweet face. I ask you, is that the face of a murderer? People say I got the eyes of a cockatiel. They say that I've got the lifeless,

the lifeless eyes of a plush doll covered in blood. But I wouldn't say that's true. No, but if you do give him to death penalty, I want to make sure we do shoot him. You got to shoot him. It's a bit of a pet issue of mine that we must shoot him in the head if he does get to dip in on the head. But listen, Alec, I got to just say, honestly, it's way more humane this way. It's much better than the electric chair.

Think of the money the state will save. Think about shooting you in the head. It costs $40 in electricity to kill someone with the electric chair. as $40. The bullets, $15. Easy to do, and we're using the bullets anyway. Leithful injection will not work on you. You could take too much oxy.

He's got thin vangs. The solicitor in charge of prosecute in this case, Creighton Waters, didn't just have an amazing Southern lawyer name. Craton Water, solicitor the 14th District. Good thing he wasn't on the boat. Yeah, that's right. Dude, that guy's a fucking murderer. Yes.

Also, goddamn good at his job. Yeah. And he absolutely wiped the floor with Dick Harputley and Jim Griffin. He worked 12 hours a day every day to make sure that Alec Murdoch went down. He does this thing too in his cross-examination where he's like, well, we're going to try to save you some time here. And he's just like, we're not saving any time here. We're going to do this as long as we want to do this. We're going to sit here.

You're not going to cut the time down. And it's like, awesome. It's watching him squirm. Yeah. That fucking moron should never. put himself on the fucking stand. He really thought that his Lex Luthor looking face was going to win in that room? That's hilarious.

But it has so many times in the past. I know, but that's what he's good at, convincing a jury to fucking let someone off. But it's also the first time he's killed his family. So when he makes his next family and he kills them, he'll know way better. That's true. Well, besides the kennel video and the bloody shirt, Waters had also managed to get a hold of Murdoch's GPS data from his SUV, which tracked Alex every movement on the night of the murder. But what really sunk Alec was a total unforced error, a mistake made by megalomaniacs the world over in criminal trials.

Against the strong advice of his attorneys, Alec Murdoch took the stand in his own murder trial, where he was ripped two shreds by Crayton Waters. When asked about why he lied so much, specifically about the kennel video, Alec claimed that it was the oxy that made him all fuzzy, and that one lie simply led to another. And about his trail of lies, Alec famously said on the stand, quote, Oh, what a tangled web we weave. And he's, well, he just said it so casual. He's like, oh, what a tangle web, we weave.

You know, you know, I'll go just, oh, what a tangle web we weave. It's just, you know, I lied, whatever. Because he's trying to act like, again, it's this minimizing of his involvement. Yeah, always minimizing. Whenever someone says that in a trial, they should just get beat by the bailiff. But he's going to get it in jail. I mean, the judge, when he fucking sentenced him, he brought it up. And he's like, you said, oh, what, I tangled web, we weave.

Oh, he just, he hated it so much. The judge actually brought it up in the sentencing. Well, it's because this idea, again, it's this cutesy folklore thing. You killed your fucking family. Yeah, no, no, folksiness does not, folksiness has no place in a murder trial. But when Alec Murdoch said, oh, what a tangled web we weave, Craton Waters made Alec detail that tangled web.

He made him talk about his financial crimes. He made him talk about all the bad shit that happened to his clients as a result of his financial crimes. He even made him talk about his habit of using his volunteer solicitor's badge to get out of drunk driving tickets. But most of all, Creighton was able to prove that Alex claimed that he was fuzzy because of the oxy-contin. That didn't hold water. See, while Alec was an addict, he was a fully functional addict who was regarded as an extremely competent lawyer throughout his decades of addiction. By the end, Alex's attempt at going up to charm a courtroom one last time backfired completely and served only to shatter any remaining credibility that Alec may have had.

Good! Yeah. Now, Alex's defense was frail at best. Their strongest witness, for example, was a forensic engineer who claimed that the angle of the shotgun blast that killed Paul would have made it impossible for the 6'4 Alec Murdoch to be the killer, which discounted the fact that man is capable of crouching. It is not. I mean, not both?

Well, instead, this expert insisted that the shooter could have been no taller than 5 foot two, which, to put it in a perspective, Ariana Grande's height. What'd she do? Where was she? Also, the Olson twins. Where were they? Yeah. Where were those little girls?

Los Angeles, probably. Oh, wow. New York. Good for them. Oh, wow. Yeah, also New York. Yeah, I heard they're in the village. Yeah, wow. Good old, guys. Now, by the closing arguments, Dick Harputlian was said to be a shell of his former self. As Valerie Bowerline put it so well, Harputlian sat at the defense table, quote, as motionless as a sphinx, while the case failed around him. Jim Griffin was therefore left to close, but couldn't do any better and saying that the jury should vote not guilty because the state didn't have enough evidence to 100% prove Alec Murdoch's guilt.

We're having it. Apparently, there's a big issue. currently with jury educations about the idea of what a shadow of a doubt means. Well, that's why Casey Anthony went free. Yes, and they're having a problem telling him it's being like, no, it doesn't, we're now

going on to the other side. Just because there isn't a picture of him and video of him actively shooting them and then their dead bodies, them standing up saying Alec Murdoch murdered me, that's not how it always is going to be. Yeah. But since

the case was so weak, the jury was incredibly quick to deliver a verdict. Only one juror had to be swayed, but not because Harputian and Griffin had made their case. Instead, this juror flat out could not believe that a person could kill their own family. She thought

that it was literally impossible. This is why it's like, these are our peers. That's a good pick for Harputley. Oh, yes. It's very good. That one's mine. I told you. I'd be pick her. Oh, yeah. No, that would be good. I can tell. about the way she held that tea cozy coast

to her body. But after the rest of the jurors assured this sweet moron that it was indeed very possible and that it in fact happened every single day somewhere on this earth. God, you think the idea of teaching her single-handedly

every single incident of familial side? That's got to be amazing. Andrea Yates. There's just a sugar to be like, this one, this one, this one. Gene Simmons. And it's just like Chris Watt. Watt. Chris Watt and Chris Ben Watt. And Chris Ben Watt. And Chris, Chris is a bad name. Alec Murdoch was finally found guilty for the murders of his wife and son and was subsequently sentenced to life in prison.

Three hour jury deliberation. Three hours. I mean, that's incredible. And an hour of that was them convincing some moron that, yes, family members do kill each other. Yes. I wonder why they didn't give them the death penalty. I am actually wondering that myself. I do believe it is they are aggravating circumstances.

that have to be hit. There are things that they do with, like, they flesh it out. And I bet you was a part of the sentencing where they kind of talk about, like, like, aggravating circumstances, like, you know how when, like, one of our favorite things, when someone murders somebody and then they, like, pull out their uterus and choose with it and then, like, plays where they make their face a puppet and stuff like that. Yeah, I know all about that. And they rape the body, they rebe the body bunch.

They'll be like, yeah, I'm aggravated now. Yeah, yeah. And then. That's aggravating circumstances. But if you just murder your family, I might be right. Side Story Story. hotel at g-mail. But I'm pretty certain he just didn't hit

he didn't hit certain factors that activate the death penalty. I think it's the last break that he ever got. Probably. Might be. Now as far as the peanut gallery in Alec Murdoch's life went, his banker Russell Lafitte negotiated a plea deal for his role in the embezzlement of funds and could be released from prison

as early as 2027. You're free to sail to seas again. And I find the treasure under the X. His other partner in embezzlement, however, Corey Fleming decided to fight. That was the wrong move. And Corey Fleming was sentenced just last year to pay $3.75 million in restitution, in addition to a term of 13 years in prison.

Unlucky number. That it is? It is. Those, of course, were Alex's partners in his financial crimes. Again and again, the question arises as to whether or not Alec Murdoch had any partners in the murders. specifically in the cleaning up of the murders. And while they cannot prove it, the prosecution did believe that someone helped Alec

by at the very least disposing of the gun. Somebody had to. They didn't find them. They found them nowhere. Now, you'd think the likeliest suspect here would be fast-eddy. But I don't think Alec would have trusted him with something this important.

It'd still be hiding, let me slow. Yeah, I think that fast, Eddie, literally is just like, the most I can do is pills. the most you really want to fucking I want to do this for you but you do not want me to do this for you you know what I'm saying I'm trying to help you by not helping you

well instead I personally think and again this is just my opinion that Buster was the other person involved here and possibly John Marvin see I still feel like John Marvin was top position Buster I think a Buster I don't know

Buster's the sharpest crayon in the box. I don't think he's able to do it. Well, listen to this. I think Buster, I've known... He's in Eric Trump. I've known... Yeah, I've known many Busters over the years. He's not an idiot. He's not stupid.

I think Paul was probably dumber than Buster was. Oh, yeah, Paul was mean in a fucking little rat. Yeah, I think Buster's just kind of lazy, and he, like you said, he was handed everything his whole life, so when it came time to actually do work, he didn't know how to fucking do it. Yeah. You know, he just coasted. Ben, listen to this. Let's just get into this for a second. If you'll remember, Buster's life was pretty much over after he got kicked out of law school.

And the only thing he had left in this life was what his father could offer him by being a Murdoch in the low country. That could have been quite a bit. Could have been. Buster, therefore, had motive to do whatever his father asked him to do. Yes. As for proof, I got none. Nothing. Bubkis.

But there is a very suspicious jailhouse phone call in which Alec seems to be asking Buster to go out to Moselle to do something. We just don't know what. And this call, by the way, was made after Alec was arrested for his financial crimes, but before he was charged with murder. So, if there was any evidence out at Moselle, like, say, the murder weapons, Sled hadn't found anything just yet. Let's listen to this call.

What you doing? Nothing. And Greenfield. I got you. She's broke their way to you. She is. Well, good. Y'all hunting?

We're going to this afternoon. Let me tell you what you ought to do, Buster. I think the damn eaters were full over there at Moselle. If you felt like going back there, I bet with nothing going on, I bet there's deer all over them things. I don't mean back. What's that going to do for me? What's that going to do for me?

Kill a deer? I'm not going hunting out there. I don't blame it. letting you know, um, Buster. Also, I wanted to tell you this, I just remember this. You know, they replanted those sunflowers. Do you have any interest in hunting that field? No.

Do you care if, um, if I let Jim do it? No. You sure? Yes. All right, you'll me come to call you if we'd hunt. Well, I should be out by then. Jim, who? Jim Griffin.

Oh, I'd love. them hunt deer out there or what are you talking about no I'm talking about I didn't know if you wanted to hunt doves out there if you do then I want you to do it if not then I'm gonna let him do it he knows how to facilitate a dove hunt what that's what he knows how to facilitate a dove hunt well I mean you know I don't think it would be I hadn't really I don't know do you just do you want a dove hunt out there no Not at all. Uh-uh.

Good boy. All right. Now, that call could be interpreted in multiple ways. You know, it could be Alex speaking in code. What's dove hunting? What's deer hunting? It also could be Buster being simply reluctant to return to the place where his mother and brother were murdered just so he could bag a deer. Yeah, it was also that his father's insistence.

But there are some very interesting sentences, some very interesting things that Buster says. Because you know how to facilitate a dove hunt? That's a big one. Let me get to that here in a second. First one, what's that going to do for me? That's a very interesting, like when he asks, like, you know, what do you get, like, do you want to go out and hunt deer? Because he's telling him that the deer feeders have been full out in Moselle.

No one's been out there. There's probably a ton of deer everywhere. You can go out there. And he says, what's that going to do for me? Which is a weird thing to say. That's a very strange thing to say. Sure shit sounds to me like Alec wanted to Buster to do something that Buster didn't want to do.

And when Buster said he didn't want to do it, it sounded like Alec asked if Buster cared if Alex's other attorney, Jim Griffin, did it instead. And also what gets me is the question, does Jim know how to facilitate a dove hunt? I don't know what the fuck that means. I grew up going on dove hunts. I've been on dozens of dove hunts. I've been fucking shot on a dove hunt. You just shoot the doves, right? The only thing you need to facilitate a dove hunt is a shotgun and a box of shells.

You don't need any, you don't have to facilitate a dove hunt. You walk into a field. Drunk teenagers do it every day. You walk into a field with a gun and you shoot dove. That's it. Also, a prison calls an audio medium just like this. What you don't hear in an audio medium is something like this, which is you're not hearing it because you're listening to a podcast.

What are you talking to? No one that has any idea what you're doing right now. Exactly. It's exactly why. It's because it's a prison call. So if it's on a prison call, you go hold a piece of paper up against the window with a thing written on it and no one's going to know what it is that you're saying. He is calling him from home. Yes, but they all or.

There are also calls where he goes in. And this is a phone call. But I'm saying before this, you can communicate visually on the prison call that can allow them and then set up other things later on. So you can start, this is the code. Yeah. Good thing. You can go and talk about the code. Code for Dove Hunt.

They do it all the time. They did, Corey, we're seeing it right now in the Corey Richards trial. She just got nailed for that because she was going into the prison calls doing witness tampering by holding it up against the phone. fucking plate glass. So what? You think the, the guns are in the fucking sunflower field?

I think there is a river. Well, I mean, the sunflower field does come up on the day of the murder. They were out, was it Paul and Alec, the Snapchat video that Paul took,

it was in the sunflower field. So they were in the sunflower field on the day of the murder. I mean, who knows what's out in the sunflower field, but he was out there. Alec was out there on the day of the murder. You'd like to believe they searched it.

You'd like to believe they did. And they probably did. But who knows? I mean, there might be something out there. Maybe deer feeders, like code for something. You know, maybe there's something there in the deer feeder. Who knows? But it does sound extraordinarily suspicious.

There's just a lot of suspicious shit here. Too many family members have been murdered. Yes. And this to be an innocuous phone calls. Yes. And too many family members have been connected to and or convicted of murder in this family for not to listen to their phone calls with a little bit of suspicion. Like, they earned it.

Yeah, I'm not going to give them credit. Now. Yeah, they earned that suspicion. Now, while it is unlikely that Buster is ever going to be investigated or even questioned in the murders of his mother, his brother, or Stephen Smith, for that matter, his life is still, for all intents and purposes, over. The murderous Murdoch legacy that Buster was counting on, the one that Buster's father and his father's father had used to coax through life, it's just as ruined, tasteless and bloody as the Wham-Bam think-you-ma'am t-shirt that Paul Murdoch was wearing on the night that Alec Murdoch killed him. I gotta get one of those. And all of this happened because one family decided

that they were the kings of their own little slice of America. But in America, as it's been since 1776, men who believe they are kings always, and I mean always, get what's fucking common

sooner or later, just like Alec Murdoch did. My goodness! Skis, skis, skis, skis, skis, skis. I see what you did there. I see what you did there. fucking great. Oh, you can go right over to the T public

and get yourself a Wham Bam thinky Bam shirt. Yeah, go to Spread shirt and get the Wambon. Don't get that shirt. That's awful. It's fucking awful spread. Don't get the Wambam Thinkie Man shirt. If you want it, the only place to get that shirt is from a merch booth at a Nugent concert.

Yeah, or Spencer's Gifts. If you don't have a Spencer's Gifts local, you can't buy that shirt. You might be able to, I don't know if Gad Zooks is still open. You can maybe buy it there. And all Paul ever did was finger somebody. Yeah. Well, you know, what a great fucking series, buddy. Yeah, you asked everyone.

Really good work. Thank you. You as well. I'm glad we could probably never talk about these motherfuckers again. Until he gets killed in prison. We'll see what Buster does. Or until the appeal. Yeah, we never know.

I mean, as far, the last I checked, Buster still, like, he lives, I think, in Beaufort, Buford County. He just got married. He got married to Brooklyn. Yeah. May 3rd. Yeah, and his friends, we actually got many messages saying that they played golf around Buster. They know where Buster goes shopping.

They know where he goes to gym. They know all the kind of stuff. So Buster's being very much so watched. He's not returned to law school either. No. I wonder why. He's got to live somewhere, you know. Yeah, well, hopefully he gets into politics.

Yeah. Let's hope so. Buster Murdoch, our next attorney general. We need some good Democrats in there. I can finally shake it up. We get Buster Murdoch, Kyle Rittenhouse. You can finally get me to the voting polls. Come on, don't you want me at the booth?
