34. The Murdaugh Family Murders: Part 2

On June 7th, 2021, a 911 call came in from Alex Murdaugh. He told 911 operators that his son and wife had been shot. The scene was extremely disturbing. Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found brutally murdered at the kennels on the family’s property. Alex gave a witness interview the same night, and police began their investigation. They quickly noticed that Alex displayed strange behaviors for someone that had just walked up to find his son and wife killed, and his subsequent interviews with police revealed inconsistencies in his story of the night of the brutal murders. Alex Murdaugh was eventually arrested for a laundry list of crimes and soon after he was charged with the murders of his wife Maggie and his son Paul. An infuriating, emotional, and sometimes absurd trial ensued lasting six weeks. When the court rested, the jury was released and they only needed 3 hours before they reached a verdict. Guilty. The only questions that remain are why did he do it? What happened to Stephen Smith? And was the death of Gloria Satterfield intentional?
