I don't think it was 'hitmen' hired by the father. I think it was individuals either upset about the a) son getting away with murder and the mother interfered or b) looking for the father because he owed them millions (which is why he stole from his law firm in the first place).

I don’t think the murders you’ve described are common or likely but the idea that the dad got in over his head and murdered his wife and son is super likely and relatively common.

I mean, none of us know, but do you really think that it's "super likely" that the dad killed his wife and his own son because he was in financial trouble? If he was in financial trouble, why isn't it more possible that the people who he was in trouble with came after him and his family?

I posted about it before -- Murdaugh Murders. Really good. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/murdaugh-murders-podcast/id1573560247

I don't think it is Mallory's family who killed the son and mother. I do think it is local and related to the boat accident but if you listen to the podcast you will hears about what Alex and his family were trying to do to set up others in the boat as driving the boat. And how the local police were all involved in it too.

Also Alex totally shot himself. He just chickened out at the end.

This podcast is practically unlistenable. Seriously one of the worst I have ever heard. I’m barely hanging on because I think the underlying story is good, but someone is going to make a much better version of this tale and everyone should wait for it.

She's a reporter and fully admits she doesn't have a podcast voice, but I'm from the area, and trust me, she has the receipts.

I believe it re: receipts and to be clear, my complaint is not about her voice (which I also heard her address in the 2nd ep). It's the storytelling--she doesn't do anything to put big guideposts in the story, just goes along from one thing to another. You should be able to picture section headings and there are none. And at the same time, it doesn't reward intent listening. Just a bummer all around. Someone who normally does true crime is going to be able to make this an amazing tale.

Could be that Alex was in over his head with drug trafficking (why he stole 8 figures from his firm) and wife found out about it. He killed wife to silence her and then killed son as collateral damage to make it look like someone targeted the son because of the negligent boating accident and in turn shot mom because the happened to be with son that day.

I have such a hard time believing he killed his own son, no matter how horrible the son was. The wife, maybe. But not his own child.

No one thinks those types of murders are common. But neither is a lawyer stealing millions from their firm and getting away with it until a manslaughter charge is brought up against his family and in defending him the other partners realize the coffers are empty.

Aside from that what did he use the millions for. He certainly didn't spend it it on real estate where he lives. You can get a shack plus acreage for $48,000 near his home.

But funneling millions into a drug operation - not uncommon. And the drug operators wanting their cash if you've lost it - again not uncommon.

+1 to alllllll of this.

In one of the stories linked it said the police recovered something like 7 shell casings at the scene of the father's shooting. That's a hit job. Tire likely punctured by someone who knew where he was going to be, etc.

Yeah, this is definitely not a case of FA. That amount of wasted bullets for a assault rifle and shotgun says a drug connection or murder attempt. Whether it was the narcos or a local neighbor who wanted revenge for the dead girl remains to be seen.

The brother (on the left) of the father who was on TV just 60 days ago defending his brother and family decided to come out blasting him for stealing millions from their shared law firm.

Is he saying he just found out about the money being stolen?

A member of a scandal-hit legal dynasty has blasted his brother's alleged drug addiction and $1m misuse of work funds as his sibling checked into rehab after being shot following the murders of his wife and alleged killer son.

Randy Murdaugh has released a statement claiming he was 'shocked' by claims of his brother Alex Murdaugh's drug addiction and blasted him over allegations he stole money from his law firm.

'I was shocked, just as the rest of my PMPED family, to learn of my brother, Alex’s, drug addiction and stealing of money. I love my law firm family and also love Alex as my brother,' Randy Murdaugh wrote in the statement released Wednesday.

Disagree. Narcos could definitely manage to kill one chubby unarmed lawyer successfully. And what are the odds that a man’s family targeted like this snd he just happens to be living a double life full of criminal behavior?

The same odds of the son being charged with manslaughter and it being discovered that the father had stolen well over $1 million from his own law firm.

I don’t think so! Criminality runs/clusters in some families. Basically you’re saying “what are the odds that a father and son are criminals?!” Um, fairly good.

[Anonymous]

Perhaps the easiest answer may be the most likely. Perhaps he did kill his wife and youngest son. How good of an alibi did he have? Could he have signed in at the hospital to see his dad, then leave out the back door? Many details we do not know yet.

So you think they're both criminals but you don't think it was possible they (the father) got in over their head with shady characters who actually are more serious threats than they realize?

I agree the father is a grifting southern old boy who thought he could commit financial 'white' crimes and maybe sniff a little (or a lot) of cocaine on the side. Plus he taught his son that they could literally get away with murder.

But people like that either snap one night and kill the entire family with a pistol after leaving a suicide note. They generally don't use assault weapons unless its school shooting. The easier method always wins.

Which is why I think the murders were an outside connection mad at either boy getting away with murder or the father stealing the millions.

The problem is now there are hundreds of literal suspects - the father who may have been confronted by the wife over divorce, the immediate + sundry relations of the murdered boat victim, the family of the older brother who think their gay relative was murdered, the law firm partners who saw part of their life savings wiped out by a druggie partner, the unknown connections who the druggie partner spent or gave millions too, any number of criminals that were put away by the Murdaugh prosecutors etc etc

Then there was the nanny/housekeeper who was killed by or on the same family's property years ago. The list goes on.

The dad in hospital alibi is still confusing to me.. considering he found them.
