I love how Alex Murdaugh said during trial he didn’t trust SLED, yet his brother can phone up the Chief Of Police and get a short notice escort to where he’s going.

[@billyvondresky9022]

He obviously did run the town, but he’s in prison, now. John Marvin knew what was up, and he’s just as guilty. Watch his body language…

If JM & Paul were that close, Paul likely discussed his dad’s pill problem with JM.

[@nicolaxoxo1]

ALLEGED pill problem…..not saying he didn’t partake, but the extent of his drug use was no where near what he claimed . Many experts have opined on this…..he would have ODd or been unable to function if he took as many pills as he claimed

[@SP-in7xv]

Not necessarily. My dad was a drunk and we weren't allowed to talk about it to my mom. His brothers? Never.

[@bbe3034]

I suspect Alex and cousin Eddy were trafficking drugs on Alex’s small island. He was writing checks to Eddy almost every week for at least $50,000

He allegedly had a gambling problem. The pills are a cover.

[@smoocher]

Oooh, thanks for posting this! You have the best coverage by far on this case.

[@babaluto]

I have one issue with what JM said here and when he testified at the trial. That is, he had no knowledge of Alex taking any drugs. I met JM, Alex, Buster and Paul when they came into the convenience I was working at. JM, Buster and Paul stood back while Alex was lit, hyperactive, demanding and overly loud. They stood far apart enough to make me nervous and very uneasy. The owner of the store, I found out later were long time friends with the Murdaughs. All I knew at the time was there was this guy slapping the counter, demanding service and pushing to get ahead of other customers. He did not seem angry, just out of his mind hyper. The owner of the place kept a 44 revolver laying flat under the register. I had my hands on it twice, pointing it his way. I simply didn't know what was going to happen. The stark contrast between Alex and the others was obvious. How JM could not have any inkling about this, I find hard to believe. I did not know who they were. I know I didn't want them back. This was nearly 12 years ago. I only figured out who they were after the murders. I have since come to learn that this the typical behavior of an addict on opioids. I simply cannot believe that JM was unaware. I do know the boys were aware by their silence and quiet disinterest at the time. JM seems like a good guy but his credibility took a major hit given his statements.

[@nicolaxoxo1]

To be fair, the behavior you described could be a drunk. After years in the bar business, I know an obnoxious drunk

[@CEK51]

This doesn’t surprise me about Alex behavior. I was also surprised that JM said Alex did not do drugs or have a drinking problem. He is hurting himself bc ppl will not trust him. He has a business that honesty is necessary for a successful business. Ty for sharing this.

[@mccauley2023]

@@nicolaxoxo1 a drunk stinks... i grew up with an alcoholic dad... he had no balance, slurred his words and bounced off the walls to keep himself upright... doesn't sound like what baba is describing to me... Just my thoughts

[@kc-lp6wg]

This is such an interesting perspective. I would imagine that Alex's size would also be extremely intimidating in that context. He always looks like a giant even after losing a bunch of weight in prison.

[@babaluto]

​@@nicolaxoxo1I am a bit naive when it comes to pills but I really don't think it was alcohol. No slurs or balance issues. He was very intense and articulate while talking fast. His behavior sounded textbook of an opiate junkie. Also, it was a Sunday and he had his brother and the boys with him and yes, he was driving.

UPDATE: This comment has the privileged bothered!!! And proves theres 2 different Americas. Most black people wouldn't have that level of access. How do I know? Im from SC, family owns a funeral home and we have to fight the County for basic escorts that families pay for when our Caucasian counterparts have officers calling the families to offer escorts for free. So NO! We all dont have this access. I said what I said 💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾#turnsoffnotifications Sooooo who else can call the Chief of Police of any town and ask for personal escort to speed down the road to a family crisis??

[@Chuckbobuck201]

My impression of him is that he is truthful. He may be/may have been snowed by Alec, but he makes eye contact, seems to have appropriate emotion at appropriate times, answers questions in a straightforward manner. He seems like a legit guy, at least in this instance.

[@fitmesslife]

Really? It didn't seem like he used the Kleenex like a prop?

[@maryammosavi269]

I had the exact opposite impression. He’s evasive and cries without tears. The Murdaugh’s seem to be able to dry- cry on cue. The whole family disgusts me.

[@Scrapfan]

I think the whole Murdaugh clan are crooks. However, John Marvin doesn’t seem like a psychopath like Alec is. Their eyes are different.

[@AlfieMcSnout]

But he wasn’t on drugs much, so he wouldn’t notice as none of his colleagues did either. He’s more into drug running that taking

[@DaynaE65]

Honestly, I don’t believe Alex was an addict. No one else knew there was a problem. Alex used pills as an excuse for his actions. Many people have stated if he took the amounts he claimed to, he would have OD’d.

[@govindagovindaji4662]

@@whoopsydaisy6389 Your wrong. Opiates are not speed. They're the opposite. They make people mellow. Even with alcohol unless you that is over the top & ppl would just assume it's alcohol consumption behavior. Of course an abundance of opiates would make you extremely sleepy to the point of passing out (or over dosing), but in agreement w almost anyone who knows much about drugs, there's no way Alec was taking the amount he said. Zero chance. You do build up a tolerance as far as how it affects your mind, behavior, speech and actions but not to how your autonomic system works like breathing & heart rate.

@@suzymoroka297 Those boys grew up in a dysfunctional home if Maggie & Alex had assigned their youngest son their "Little Detective" so they could manipulate him into believing he should wear it like a badge of honor to police his father's drug abuse because they were too cowardly to confront each other over their adult issues and to leave their children out of their problems. What did Maggie do when she found a stash of her husband's pills in his bag (really trusting marriage, snooping on each other...gross)? Why she called up her Little Detective to take care of it. Way to go mom & dad! And no one involved in the boat crash or their parents or in the court of public opinion has the right to put all the onus on Paul for the crash. Those people either hung out w/Paul because they liked him or because of who he was but no one forced any of them to go along for the ride, knowing a drunk was piloting the boat. They were all adults, albeit, all underage drinking. If you're knowingly going to get into any mode of transportation w/a drunk at the wheel, you're as equally responsible for your own poor decision as the drunk at the wheel. Anyone who doesn't think so is a hypocrite.

Do you also have SLED's initial interviews with John Marvin's wife Liz, Randy Mudaugh, or Buster? With Maggie's sister? With any others interviewed early in the investigation? Last year, I watched two video interviews (I think two) of Alex Murdaugh conducted shortly after the murders. One was recorded in a car the night of, and another was taken the next day if I am recalling correctly. But those videos with Alex Murdaugh were published a long time ago.
