His “girlfriend” seems more like a friend in public..no hand holding or protective cuddling. He might want to start doing that.

You mean BB ( “Buster’s Beard”)? Her contract probably specifies “no cuddling” and “no touching”. She is a law school graduate, btw, and apparently passed the SC Bar Exam. Any lawyer who would get involved with a guy who had been recently kicked out of HER law school for cheating … really? And to sit through six weeks of the excruciating trial when her law career could be started? Yeah, right.

Maybe she already got the money? Newly out of law school and was able to afford a condo in Hilton Head, SC.

How did we get from that letter to yesterdays press conference sphere they disavowed any implication of Buster? How/why did this turnaround happen?

Which “Randolph Murdaugh” contacted Stephen’s mother immediately after his murder? If it was Buster’s grandfather who recently died, Buster is DEFINITELY guilty as hell. And if it was Alex’s brother Randy, Buster is probably guilty as hell.

I really hope someone will provide an answer to my question. The video of Buster’s grandfather and Alex caught in the act of witness tampering and obstruction of justice at the hospital after the boat crash is a better depiction of corruption in action than anything I have ever seen in a Netflix series.

Why does Sandy Smith’s letter to the FBI mention Randolph Murdaugh’s nephews and then move on to Buster Murdaugh? Buster was his grandson, not his nephew.

Alex’s older brother is Randolph Murdaugh IV (Randy).

If I were a parent, and my son was found dead in the road under mysterious circumstances, and if one individual’s name was mentioned by multiple people over the course of an investigation, and that person’s family had long-standing ties to the solicitor’s office, and a family member of that person placed a call to me to ask if would like his services before I even had a positive ID on the body, I’d have a lot of questions. I don’t think that’s unreasonable. I also don’t think she’s pointing the finger now and my read of the letter is that she wasn’t even pointing the finger in 2016. She was highlighting leads that had not been pursued. Leads are not the same as accusations. She wants answers and deserves answers, regardless of who it was. Regardless of whether it was a deliberate murder, or even an accidental hit-and-run, the person responsible is still out there. Personally, I doubt that Buster Murdaugh had anything to do with it at all. But I would like to know who had an interest in suggesting to investigators that he did.

Randy and Alex are lawyers .Are they ambulance chasers in the middle of the night. Who let them know there was a death on that road sounds familiar they were at hospital after boat accident. Sounds a little suspicious..

Perhaps that’s another “reason” why Alex killed, Paul. Not only was he indicted for the boat crash death of Mallory Beach, but, if true, he also tried to implicate his brother Buster in the death of Stephen. It has been reported that Buster was a favored son, thus possibly leading to Paul’s jealousy and risky attention seeking behavior.

IT WAS STATED THAT BUSTER CONTACTED ALEX & ALEX CONTACTED RANDOLPH. BUSTER WAS IN TROUBLE & NEEDED THEM TO GET HIM OUT OF TROUBLE.

WHY HAVENT THEY FOUND BUSTERS TRUCK? THE ONE HE WAS DRIVING THE NIGHT OF STEPHENS MURDER, THE ONE HE IMMEDIATELY GOT RID OF AFTER THE MURDER?!

In the Netflix documentary, Ms. Smith said that Stephen implied to her he was dating a member of a powerful family. Perhaps homosexuality is unacceptable in that family…or what’s left of that family. The Smith family has a RIGHT to know the truth.
