⚖️ MURDAUGH MURDERS & TRIAL THREAD ⚖️

[tallulahtiger30319]

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.

Autopsy would reveal whether or not he was already dead (from his suicide shot, as you speculate) when Alec shot him, in your scenario. I can imagine this happening, except I don't know why Paul would've killed his mother-well, except that he quite clearly had issues!

Between the main board and this board, it might get solved here before the FBI does

Trebec. He came back to take care of one final matter.

Incorrect. Not in the form of a question. The correct response is “who is Trebec?”

 

[Trading Tiger]

Fits is going to be insufferable if Nikki runs (and I absolutely think it's possible he did the deed). But he's never met a story he didn't want to publish.

Did you believe the bus driver got it on with Veronica Vaughn too??

 

[Trading Tiger]

Fits claimed he nailed Nikki Haley.

There's no doubt he would, but there is doubt whether she would.....

There is absolutely zero doubt, that dude couldn't score with Haley's dog.

It wasn’t a murder suicide.

 

[5E3]

It wasn’t a murder suicide.

If you believe the coroner and the others that are feeding this info (very little) to the public.

Not saying it was or wasn’t.

Just saying.

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

It’s been a long time but,

STFU Earle.

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.

Well we would know but @Steven15 and @CMTiger15 ran off our body language guy with drones, so now we will never know. Thanks guys

 

[UptownRETiger]

No idea man. Use words I understand.

 

[clemsontiger02]

No idea man. Use words I understand.

I'll handle this one.

@Trading Tiger, not him personally. But a guy he knew, him and her got...it...on.

Sure. It’s possible, then. There’s a non-zero chance - which, in theory, means it’s possible.

 

[clemsonkelly]

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.

Wow

 

[BKFrost]

I wonder why the family has not offered a reward for the conviction or arrest of individuals, money talks.

Money talks.………bullshit walks

That’s a fine, fine question.

They probably just haven’t thought of it yet but now that you’ve put it on a message board it’ll probably be offered soon.

It adds another nice piece to the story they are weaving for the cover up.

I was trying to use Streloism did you get it?

 

[coop#]

I think I've figured it out

[HillmanTall]

It seems arrests in Colleton County have picked up since the shooting. Mostly people with previous drug offenses.

Rounding up the usual suspects? Trying to get one to squeal is my guess.

 

[Deac Tiger]

Anyone heard that the deceased young man pushed his nanny down the stairs when was a little'un and kilt her?

You are confusing the Murdaugh kid with Damien from the Omen series. Damien had issues.

Did Paul tie himself to the chair

[PawsFan_]

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."

True. But the are only certain angles a suicide victim can hold a shotgun at and be able to discharge the weapon.

 

[Clemblack]

Did Paul tie himself to the chair

I have not seen that reported.

 

[tigerjl]

It still just makes no sense to me why the police would say no threat and release such little info. If a person or persons murdered 2 people with a shotgun and rifle and they don't know who it is I don't understand how they can make that statement. There are killers that have not been apprehended and among the public.

It makes no sense to you because you don’t know what the LE officers know. The killers in this situation are not running around breaking into homes shooting people. No public risk.

Lol

"It's all good everyone. Yeah they killed 2 people on their own property in cold blood but it's probably just a one time thing. The people that did this are not dangerous in any way."

That is of course unless they know who did it already and are either putting a case together or covering something up. Which is what everyone on here has been saying. They wouldn't put that out there if they didn't have a pretty good idea who did it.

“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 ...

If they were just regular people, we'd all know the truth by now.

And, in this case, the truth ain't pretty.

But we'd all know and they'd have to live with it just like the rest of us would.

 

[tallulahtiger30319]

of course not. duh.

 

[coop#]

all i can say at this point is that police suspect foul play

[Trading Tiger]

So he double taps his son in the chest and face from close range with a shotgun? That’s pretty cold-blooded.

He went full Huxtable

 

[Trading Tiger]

I have trouble believing that.
One scenario requires zero planning.
Impulsive behavior by one and reactionary behavior by the other.

The “hit” scenario requires a level of evil most people cannot rise to.

First, you have to find an accomplice. That’s no easy task.

Then a level of sinister, nefarious and downright evil planning that is hard to believe.

We’ll see. Maybe.

You clearly don't watch the news.

If this was a hit by a victim of the Murdaugh's, it could have been planned in the Sunday morning car ride to church.

So the day after the murder, someone with a key to went into Paul Murdaugh's apartment in Columbia and forgot to lock the door behind them?

I've been curious about how this works.

Is it common in Hampton to have a group of henchmen with you?

Do you just give one of them the nod and they automatically know what to do like in the movies?

I don't even know WTF Hampton is, but it works the same in just about any place on Earth where people live. I'll explain it to you like you're 5...

Powerful people make enemies, it's just how things work. Either people they've harmed to get to where they are and stay there, or people who want to knock them off so they can take over. The list is long and it's not a secret.

So yeah, you could probably walk into any bar in the area, give a little nod, and you'd have people lined up taking numbers in order to get to be the one(s) who does the deed.

This is the type of “hit men” you find in most bars in smal SC towns. Read the whole thing.

That explanation would work for a five year old. They'd believe it.

But just because you say it with conviction doesn't mean shit to me.

You're living in a fantasy world.

... walk into any bar in the area, give a little nod, and you'd have people lined up taking numbers in order to get to be the one(s) who does the deed.

Right.

This is just a part of the full story but found this particular bit of details to be interesting.

____________

On the afternoon of June 8 — a day after the killings — a property manager of the apartment complex found an open door in a unit in that property complex and notified the Columbia police department, according to city police.

Although Columbia police did not say specifically that the open door belonged to Paul Murdaugh, sources told The State that the unit was in fact Murdaugh’s.

“There were no visible signs of forced entry or anyone found inside the residence. Officers secured the door before leaving the scene,” Columbia police department spokeswoman Jennifer Timmons said.
