I immediately suspected Alex Murdaugh guilty of the double homicide.
1) Paul was a legal and financial liability from the BUI boat crash that killed Mallory Beach and injured others.
2) It was rumored that Maggie was shopping for divorce attorneys.
Both of those would show that Murdaugh’s wealth was really a financial house of cards.

PS: I can’t believe that Murdaugh’s Palmetto State Bank account was routinely overdrawn by hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet PSB charged an overdraft fee of just $5.00. Bank of America charges $35.00.

This story, Alex’s stories, Cory’s stories: they are all related and describe the average workday of lawyers and judges in SC. The questions are many: how do these ambulance-chasing lawyers get notified so quickly of incidents that happen in the middle of the night? Are law enforcement and EMTs being paid to notify lawyers? How does Randy M wind up at the Stephen Smith death site early that morning? Why was John Marvin M allowed to take the boat from Archer’s Creek? Why was he allowed to hang out with the investigators at Moselle? Why do complaints and suits against these blood suckers not go in front of the ODC? How do so many of these cases get passed through without judges’ signatures? Are these practices going on all over the state?

Sandy Smith, Stephen’s mother, said that her son, when walking along the road, would go into the woods to hide when a vehicle could be heard approaching. Why would Stephen be found in the road at all, let alone in the middle of the road? Doesn’t make sense if he was afraid (as ANYONE would be) to walk in the road in such desolate country, especially in the blackness of night? It would only make a great deal of sense that he was hit by a large side mirror on a truck if he was in the road to begin with, which would have been very unlikely.
