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.

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.

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.

And with four generations of this foolery, it could be revenge from a victim’s family we don’t even know about yet.

It’s interesting that the Murdaugh link to the “gay man” death didn’t come about until the mother and son were killed. Something about the police investigation of their deaths linked their family to the case from years earlier of the “gay man” found dead in the road. What on earth has this family been doing and covering up over the past four generations that they’ve been solicitors for this county??

Well don’t trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer …
