Susan Smith gave an interview before she was arrested. Let's have the Body Language team from Facebook surveil the interview for the truthfulness of their statements.
⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️
- Thread starter OldMTPTiger
- Start date
Every time I see Murdaugh my mind reads it in a DMX/Ja Rule voice
We need help finding a person(s). There's no danger to the public but please let us know if you can help us find this person(s) who just murdered 2 people. Oh and you need to do this without any information from us other than 2 people were killed. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. Good luck!
It just doesn't make any sense.
So well written. My wife and I were just sharing similar sentiments after watching the GMA piece.
Spoken like balaam's ass.
There was also a story on the Today Show just without the interview.
Anyone heard that the deceased young man pushed his nanny down the stairs when was a little'un and kilt her?

I think the brother on the right is genuine.....brother on the left....not so much
Feel for our fellow TI poster @murdaugh. Thinking of you bro. Sorry your family is going through this. Even worse that’s it’s in the public eye.
Keep your head up!
Keep your head up!
Thought the same. No surprise the one on the left is part of the law firm.
John Marvin (the one of the right) is the real deal. Good guy.
If you found your wife and son slaughtered on your property, wouldn't you get the hell out of there? Why would you call your brothers and tell them to come right over (unless you knew there was no remaining threat)?
That law firm needs to step its game up. Nothing good ever comes from these types of interviews. They raise more questions than they answer and public opinion begins to thicken on determining guilt or innocence without having evidence that meets the standards for being admitted in a judicial proceeding.
The 'no danger to the public' statement is hugely problematic for them in my cover up scenario.
Remember - that was one of the very first statements made by law enforcement (maybe from the scene, even.)
Done at a time when they were just reacting to what they found and were told.
It is the most damning statement and is the main thing driving my thought process - and it wasn't recanted.
I've got to believe it is about the only truthful thing they've said. Now everything is calculated and strategized.
No clue. I just found it odd that it was the very first thing they released. It was immediate. I don't know why they would do that if there wasn't someone who had either confessed/told them something they believed to be credible or if there was some sort of note/evidence left behind.
Otherwise, it was an incredibly irresponsible thing to say from a public safety standpoint and it doesn't exactly instill trust when dealing with a family that already isn't exactly glowing in the public opinion of trust. I don't know the family personally. They may be really good people but that is unfortunately the perception.
It's just a sad situation all around.
That’s because the one on the right isn’t an attorney. I believe he runs a Kubota dealership.
Reporter Eva Pilgrim asked, “Do you feel that anyone in your family interfered in any way?”
Both brothers shook their heads “no.”
“Do you feel like some of the perception of your family has been wrong?,” Pilgrim asked.
“Yes,” Randy Murdaugh IV says. “I’ve seen words like ‘dynasty’ used, and ‘power.” I don’t know exactly how people use those words, but we’re just regular people, and we’re hurting just like they would be hurting if this had happened to them.”
The brothers said their brother, Alex Murdaugh, found their bodies after he got home from being in the hospital with their dad, Randolph Murdaugh III, who died days later.
Alex is “upright and looks strong and is making his way… He breaks down. It’s tough for us,” John Marvin Murdaugh said.
“It changes you as a family,” Randy Murdaugh IV said as he put his arm around John Marvin. “I can’t imagine the horror my brother’s experiencing.”
"We're just regular people".......that may play well in front of a jury in Hampton but not anywhere else.

They know what happened.
Now, the story is being changed for some reason.
I have my suspicions.
I loved that whoever Matlock had on the witness stand in the last 10 minutes was the killer.
I went to high school with Eva in West Columbia. I had no idea she was on GMA until today. Good for her.
I'm beginning to think it was indeed a murder suicide. Father gets home and sees that awful scene - he panics and wants to do something to help the family save face and embarrassment, as he has always done. Paul had killed mother with rifle and shot himself in the chest with the shotgun. Father picks up the shotgun, shoots Paul from a little distance, then calls the law.
That would make sense. They said there was some tampering with the scene.
The original word was murder/suicide.
Here’s the thing. Even the ABC interview made me go back to the fact that nothing said by them can be believed. They said something to the fact that social media betrays Paul one way, but anyone who knows him doesn’t .
The fact is, nothing could be further from the truth. I know people who grew up with the guy, and even before the accident, I had one person describe him as “just a terrible person”.
Those guys aren’t oblivious to that. And as bad as I feel for the family, I just can’t brush those things aside.

Makes me think of this:
I don't know. From the jump, murder/suicide seemed most plausible.
But the multiple gunshot thing is hard to explain.
This idea though would explain it, but it would also take some stone cold balls to think up, much less execute (fire a shotgun blast at your just discovered dead son), while in a state of panic/disbelief/shock.
It would take stone cold balls for sure. But it would also take a fast-thinking father who is trying to protect his son one last time.
Interesting theory... Another possibility is that the suicide part didn't go as planned and the father put him out of his misery...
Suicide would be easy for cops to tell. There would be powder marks around the wound.
That’s the thing for me. I want to be respectful for the family members that might be on this board, but how many people did Ellec trample over in trying to protect his son? Those are the people that I really hurt for.
I would be curious to know if there are powder marks.
But just because there are powder marks, that doesn't mean it's suicide. A murderer can hold a shotgun to a victim's chest and shoot him "execution style."
surely they tested for gun shot residue
I know a sled agent on the scene and several nuggets are being left out of what we think we know. She told me a few things that are extremely interesting
Thanks Earle
Ok, I'll throw a theory out here.... Mom is filing for divorce and about to clean the husband out. Husband has his son over a barrel, keeping him out of jail. He tells the son that if he wants to remain a free man and doesn't want mom to take half of their assets he has to take her out. Tells him when, where, everything. Then he waits until the deed is done and takes out his son or pays someone else do it for him. Worst case is he can claim the son was going to kill him too so he had no choice. No divorce to worry about, no more black sheep son to embarrass the family name. Just a theory but I think mom was the big target and the son was collateral damage so to speak.
No?!?!
If I came home to see my son and wife murdered, I cant imagine my first reaction would be to run.
But Im a vengeful, spiteful person I suppose. But my first reaction, I think - and pray I never know - would be to find who did it.
