That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia |
This seems like the most plausible answer, either he shot himself or someone he knows helped him stage it. It doesn’t seem likely that someone who perpetrated the other murders would be following him just in case he broke down and then ambushed him but left him able to call 911 himself. Alex Murdaugh is the husband and the person who found them so he is suspect #1, presumably. It’s usually the husband. |
I assumed that someone messed with his car so it would break down. If it’s a movie plot in real life, we may as well go all the way. I don’t think someone would chance a shot in the head for show unless they were ready to die. |
| my theory is that he shot the wife and son because the family's umbrella insurance carrier had denied the family's claim to be defended against the wrongful death claim brought by the family of the girl killed in the younger son's boating accident and a court had upheld the denial. That would expose the family millions in damages. While they are no doubt rich, they are not SO rich that a multi-million dollar lawsuit loss would not have a significant impact on the family wealth. Then either he shot himself out of guilt, or he really did break down and some family of the boating victim saw him alone and by the side of the road and took the opportunity for revenge. It really IS a southern gothic mystery. |

If anyone knows of the “blind faith” story from 1984- book by Joe McGinnis- it is eerily similar. Dude hired a hit man to kill his wife and “beat him.” Made it look
like an attempted robbery when he pulled over to change a tire on the way home from the casino. |
It might be something similar if “shot in the head” means grazed his scalp. But if he was truly shot in the head it clearly doesn’t work. |
He called 911 himself from the side of the road and the police described the wound as “superficial.” Too chicken shit to even shoot himself in the leg. |
If the dad shot himself out of guilt and remorse, why would he stage it to look like a murder? That makes no sense. And besides, if there was a gun next to his body with only his fingerprints—and if there is a ballistics match with the bullet in his head—no one would think it was a murder. As a prosecutor he would definitely know this. |
| The father is a lawyer and too smart to make this easy to pin on him, assuming he is guilty. Likely we will never know the truth. This story has not ended yet! |
It takes a lot more courage to shoot yourself in the head or anywhere near your head than in your leg, what are you talking about? |
So? There were 10 lawyers and judges in the immediate family. They would have found a way to figure out how to give low-six figures to the dead girl's family - end of story. And with the son dead, there is no trial in any case, so why should himself? And don't tell me guilt. No one who shoots their wife of 20 years and son like deer at a hunting lodge then sends out his brother to protest the family's innocence are that remorseful. |
They discreetly followed him. |
| I’d like to see if anything comes out from the latest police investigation, regarding the Father being shot in the head. |
| Now he's entering rehab and just resigned from his law firm. |
Holy crap -- what?! Maybe he did shoot himself. https://www.live5news.com/2021/09/06/alex-murdaugh-releases-statement-after-weekend-shooting/ |
