Prosecutor Confronts Alex Murdaugh Over Lies to Police on Night of Family Murders

Alex Murdaugh was confronted by prosecutor Creighton Waters about the lies told by the disgraced lawyer during a police interview that happened just hours after his family was murdered. Murdaugh admitted to telling specific lies to investigators that June 2021 night, which led to Waters asking him when he decided to lie.

In the new version of events, Alex insists he called 911 first. Well, let's revisit what he actually stated when events were fresh/vivid and compare that with how a normal individual would react. Video: "She [the 911 operator] was very good. I talked to her. I told her I was going to get off the phone and call some family members." So, if we believe Alex today, he talked to family members _before_ checking for signs of life. Who does that?

Alex loves to hear himself talk.

[@emilybazer]

Very convenient how he only remembers things vividly if it exonerates him but then changes his story when he is obviously being caught in lies. He took so many pills a day this man wouldn't feel his leg being sawed off, it definitely numbed him enough to plan it and then the withdrawals aggravated him enough to carry out the murders of his wife and son. NO doubt in my mind.

[@tarnsand440]

If he took as many pills a day as he claimed he'd have OD'd years ago.

He was never taking that much opioids to start with, he new what he was doing and always had awareness. Imo he and others (possibly including his brother) were dealing, far less consuming!!

“I could take a deep breath and make it go away in a matter of seconds.” This is not normal.

[@Moleda1986]

I had yet another thought: If Alex didn’t do it, how did he know to lie about what he was doing at the time of the murders? He said the reason he lied about being at the kennels was because he was paranoid due to his drug use. However, he ‘discovered’ the bodies at 10:07. If he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t know the exact time of death. He would only know they happened between approximately 8:45 and 10:05. That’s an hour and 20 minutes. Why lie specifically about the small window of time at the kennels unless he knew the murders happened before he left for his mom’s?

[@91wheelz]

I think in his "paranoid" mind he didn't mention being at the kennels because it puts him directly at the site of the murders and that is the last thing he wanted pinned to him. What I'd like to know is which way he drove off his property to head toward his mom's and then from the house, would he be able to see Maggie and Paul or drive by them while exiting the property.

[@kimlarso]
