8:44 PM: The 50-Second Video That Convicted Alex Murdaugh

from Hidden Threads: Real Private Investigators. Real Cases. Real Stories. · host Macky Outlaw

Send us Fan Mail Alex Murdaugh told investigators he was never at the kennels the night his wife and son were murdered. Then a forensic examiner pulled a 50-second video off Paul's phone, recorded at 8:44 PM, and Alex's voice was on it. In this Best Of compilation, we walk through the digital evidence that dismantled the story: the kennel video and the three voices on it, Paul's phone locking at 8:49 PM and never being used again, the dead zone in Alex's own phone activity followed by a sudden burst of step data, the OnStar and GPS records showing the drive to Almeda, and Maggie's phone found in the brush down the road — with motion data consistent with being thrown from a moving vehicle. Nobody testified that they saw Alex Murdaugh pull a trigger. The devices in that house testified for them. Phones, vehicle telematics, and health data don't get nervous on the stand and don't change their story. I'm Macky Outlaw. I run a digital forensics and OSINT firm, and this is the kind of work my examiner and I do every week — just usually without the cameras.
