Alex Murdaugh Told Eddie "Things Just Got All Fucked Up"

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

Part 2 of our interview with James Lasdun, author of The Family Man, digs into the night of the murders — and what the jury at Alex Murdaugh's trial was never shown.The full SLED timeline from June 7th included calls and texts between Alex and men with criminal records just hours before the killings. Alex had deleted his entire call log from that week. The next morning, Cousin Eddie texted him three words: "at fishing hole." Prosecutors stripped all of it from the timeline they presented to jurors.The book also reveals what the defense wanted to do but couldn't. Jim Griffin told Lasdun that their plan was to cross-examine Cousin Eddie about his failed polygraph and the fabricated story he gave SLED about the murders. Eddie was their alternative suspect. Prosecutors pulled him from the witness list to shut that door.There's physical evidence too. Maggie's car was found at the main house with the driver's seat pushed all the way back — not where it would be if she'd been the last to drive. The Beach family's attorney told the author there's a belief the car was at the kennels that night and someone moved it. Unidentified tire tracks near the bodies were noted by the fire chief but never investigated.And then there's the theory nobody else has explored. Eddie told the author that Alex described what happened at Moselle as "things just got all fucked up." The book asks: Was this a staged attack that went wrong? The same play Alex ran three months later on the Old Salkehatchie Road — only at Moselle, somebody didn't follow the script.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
