Deleted Calls, Phone Data Puts Alex Murdaugh at Scene of Wife, Son's Brutal Murder: Prosecutors

Prosecutors allege that Alex Murdaugh's cell phone data puts him at the scene of his wife and son's murder at their South Carolina home. Evidence presented in court also revealed that the disgraced lawyer deleted most of his calls from that June 2021 night Maggie and Paul were found dead. The Law&Crime Network's Angenette Levy and GiGi McKelvey discuss the importance of this data.

I think his 20 yr addiction to opioids clouded his thinking and he was desperate for $ and Maggie had a rental property worth $4 million. What if she didn't want to sell and what if she would divorce him after finding out he stole almost a million dollars from his law firm's partners and clients? Paul's murder makes his criminal charges go away for the boating accident that killed Mallory. I think Alex's plan was to sell Maggie's rental property and pay his partner's back to save his reputation and law license so he could open his own law firm with Buster and Father and Son could start over w/o any baggage that Paul created and he needed Maggie's property to do it and she wouldn't want to be a party to the murder of her favorite son. Buster settled out of court with Mallory's family and I'm sure it was a whole lot less than what Paul would have had to pay. Alex didn't count on Paul's friends ratting out Buster for giving Paul his driver's license and getting another one from the MVD claiming he lost it. Paul had loose lips and was facing felony charges for Mallory's death and so he had to go. Paul was shot in the 'chest and head' w/a shotgun whilst Maggie was shot 5 times w/an automatic rifle. 2 weapons to make it look like 2 perps.

[@omargoodnesssake]

*Did he think he could get away with it because he might’ve in the past?! Remember, there’s the death of his housekeeper in his home who’s family he later swindled insurance money from. And there’s the unexplained death of a young man a few years earlier near his property.*

The fact that the law firm was allowed to operate the way it did for decades after the founders passed away is a crime in itself. So many cases that weren't properly handled/actual innocent people sent to prison while others wound up with ruined reputations despite not having committed a crime but ruined nonetheless by Murdagh's law firm and the feds not step in is an abomination.

It’s amazing the amount of data recorded by devices (smartphones and what not) that people just aren’t even aware of.

Press the power button, unlock the phone, open an app, interact with the app, close the app, and lock the phone is all logged. But, people think “if I delete the phone calls from my phone, cops will never know!” Until a forensic analyst digs into your phone and finds a log of a phone call taking place and a log of that phone call being manually deleted from the user-visible call log, not to mention carrier logs that the average phone user can’t get their hands on.

Everytime I see this I think the defense is disorganized.

[@hectorbaeza2839]

Its kind a hard to defend the indefendible

[@tresasauer7129]

The defense will try to confuse the jury next week and get them to think like children.

[@GenRN]

I want to know how many steps are between the kennels and the house.

[@Betsy-R]

It is annoying that a dad would buy guns of that expense and when the gun gets “lost/stolen” because of irresponsibility of the owner…AND THEN IT IS REPLACED. It is sad that these kids don’t seem to have been taught responsibility or the value of items-especially guns that can be used in the wrong way by the wrong people. And the way it was acceptable for boys to leave their clothes & other possessions “all over the state,” as if they can just be easily replaced. These kids do not look like Walmart shoppers that would travel the state in $5 T-shirts…especially when they have a fancy gun with all the accessories. I guess when you are spending other people’s money you don’t feel it!

"The Row of 4"... Buster and the 3 women to his left have been *SMIRKING* since Day 1... HOWEVER Day 7 and Day 8 (today) the smugness & slight smiles are less than previous days. DATA the past two days have dampened their smirks. Buster on Day 7 was staring straight down when they were reading times about phone activities... ie. when phone orientation change on Maggie's phone and 2 seconds later Alex calls Maggie, etc. Buster was very still and looked to be 'processing'.

A very hard thing to process.

Alex Murdaugh "...it was planned for a long time"

[@lisacarter5193]

Anyone that could blow there son's brain out like that is a monster . Gives me chills to even think about it. Maggie was running for her life either he smuggling alot of drugs in thru those island or he got more than just opioid addiction now come on. Buster didn't open that can of worms on him Paul's boat deal and Maggie was wanting a divorce idk money greed addiction and his pride don't go together,

[@glammaog1love56]

He didn't see him as his son anymore...he saw him as the troublemaker he was and his boating accident was the catalyst he thought would bring him down!

The sound is so low on this channel. It's always like this, so strange when you have such quality content. I usually take off to another channel. I find it really frustrating

Sorry, but that video the kid took right before they were murdered was the OJ Gloves scene in reverse. Its a wrap.

Cell phones are pretty cool and could be life saving...unless you're trying to hide something.

Regarding the weapons...Alex's father passed away a few days after the murders. I've heard suspicion that the weapons were buried along with him. Knowing what we do of this family and their influence, it wouldn't surprise me a bit .

[@tresasauer7129]

The notion that an intruder(s) could have snuck up on them without hearing the approach or the dogs going mental is absurd. They were caught by surprise because they’d never suspect Alex would kill them. Maggie came running when she heard the shots that killed Paul - then she turned and got shot herself.

If further proves there is no such thing as a perfect murder; for many things we have no control over. Like he had no idea his son was taping a Snapchat video right as Alex was about to kill him.

Let Alex take the stand. Have the prosecutor look him straight in the eye and ask, "Alex, do you recognize the third voice in Paul's video/phone.

The Idaho student murders and the Murdaugh case provide a glimpse into cell phone tracking and it is scary.

Each box of ammo has manufacturing markings and box labeling etc that can place the rounds used in the murders in the inventory of the home. Casings, lead, copper and everything about the ammunition has identifiers to it not just rifling.

They are not going by needing a body anymore. With today's technology, the body is not needed to convict.
