The Murdaughs were rather rude with the 911 dispatcher, but it may have been out of stress. 

https://www.live5news.com/2021/11/30/sled-releases-911-call-murdaugh-housekeepers-fatal-fall/

The oddest thing about this 911 call, is that Maggie knows how many steps are on the house the moment she has asked that question by the 911 dispatcher. She doesn’t even take the time to count them, she just spits that out.

What is also a little odd is the housekeeper reportedly asking Paul to let her go, while he was reportedly holding her.

Also, since she was “mumbling,” you have to ask yourself, “mumbling what?”  What if she was mumbling that she knew who hit her, and that’s why she wanted Paul to let go of her because she didn’t trust this bunch at this point. 

The theory that Maggie and Paul may have known that Alex was involved in the murder, and this formed a motive for their murders, gets a boost from the release of this 911 tape.

I’d like to see the police report for this incident, but I haven’t been able to find it.

The plausible theory goes on to say that what might’ve happened is Paul threatened the father, if he didn’t get him out of his boat accident situation, regarding the death of the housekeeper and that’s what led to his and his mother’s death. This might help explain the death of both, because both may have been witnesses to whatever Gloria mumbled at the bottom of the stairs.

Why else would The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division reopen this investigation, unless they think that there’s a motive for Alex to have killed his wife and son, as it relates to the death of the housekeeper?

My thinking, also, is that perhaps the housekeeper had information about the death of Stephen, which threatened the family, and led to this entire fiasco to begin with. The housekeeper may have known about the suspected relationship between Buster and Stephen. 

It’s also very interesting that Stephen dies of head trauma, and the housekeeper dies of head trauma but in both cases the supposed “accidental cause” is suspicious. 

I think that the police may suspect that the same person who killed Stephen, may have also killed the housekeeper.

There are a lot of suspicious deaths surrounding this family!

[Raptor Witness]

I’m not the only person who is amazed that Maggie knew how many steps there were in an instant.

This is the reporter who got the housekeeper’s 911 call released.

two guns killed alex`s wife and son, so it could nt be the son that was killed by the revenge of the son that killed the girl on the boat, would not kill his mother,so who can killed them both ?

Bank of America is accused of 'laundering millions and millions' for disgraced South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh who stole insurance payout from sons of housekeeper, 57, after she tripped and died at his home

Indeed, but this is what happens when a family becomes politically entrenched in any place, where there is no real underlying law and order.

The scariest part is that so many moving parts to this story, felt at ease with the ethical concerns. They had no fear of getting caught, which suggests a broad pattern of bad acts and actors. A king with his own court, with less than noble men, helping, then coercing other bad actors, in exchange for future wrongful favors. The perfect cover for violence for profit.

Who knows how many people have died “accidentally” for money in this area, and it has never been uncovered, because no one cared, or was too afraid to rock the racketeer’s boat,

My guess is, it’s like the Titanic of racketeering down there, and much that is at the bottom of the ocean, is still well hidden and covered with silt.

This entire mess needs a special federal investigation, or else the other potential bodies and bad acts may never be found. Law enforcement only became active in this case when it was exposed as negligent. How do you trust that?

It’s not possible to drain a swamp the size of an ocean, but we might be able to raise parts of the Titanic.

"Murdaugh stole a $125,000 settlement from a state trooper injured on duty"

_____________

This is the sort of thing that underlines the degree of the racketeering that was going on. This is not someone who feared state law enforcement, at all, so what does that tell you about his fear of using violence for money?

Racketeering like this demands a federal investigation, yet we hear none of that .... which itself is suspicious.

Murdaugh appeared in court today and was held on a $7 million bond with no percentage option. He will need to pay it in full.

A state judge has granted former South Carolina attorney Richard "Alex" Murdaugh bond on 48 charges by the South Carolina State Grand Jury, charges which include 47 felonies that total up to 500 years of potential prison time.

State Grand Jury Presiding Judge Alison Renee Lee, during a virtual bond hearing Monday morning , set a $7 million surety bond for Murdaugh, with no 10 percent payment option.

I won’t be surprised if he ends up dead by poison or some unusual circumstance, like Epstein.

Murdaugh was charged with 27 more crimes today. He still hasn't been charged with the deaths of his wife and son although his attorneys say he is a person of interest.

Hi Susieice

When I heard his 911 call to report the deaths it sounded of near the end of the call like he had been performing during the first part and sounded different near the end of the call so it wouldn't surprise me that he did kill them. There were 2 firearms use in the killings so I wonder if his cousin wasn't involved as well.

The explosion of corruption we are seeing in Hampton County, South Carolina, is just the tip of an iceberg.

All these players who aided and abetted Alec Murdaugh, were acting with total impunity, as if they didn’t have to worry about being convicted of anything, ever.

It’s no wonder people might have been tempted to take matters into their own hands. The entire South Carolina justice system must be badly broken, for this kind of corruption to take root so deep.

[Raptor Witness]

Blood spatter evidence is just now coming to light, years after South Carolina Law Enforcement dropped the ball on the murder investigation of Alec Murdough’s wife and son.

So how many orchestrated deaths could there be in this criminal jurisdiction, where insurance payments took precedent over the wrongful death, per se?

A longtime Hampton County banker recently indicted in connection to the ongoing Richard "Alex" Murdaugh criminal investigations had his first day in court Friday during a virtual bond hearing in South Carolina.

Wearing a pea-green detention-center jumpsuit, and with his wife, sister and other family members looking on, Russell Lucius Laffitte sat facing 21 felony charges during the 10 a.m. bond hearing in Judge Alison Lee's virtual courtroom. 

Laffitte has not yet entered a plea in the case.

After hearing from the state, attorneys for Laffitte and attorneys for alleged victims, the judge granted Laffitte a $1 million surety bond with a 10% cash option plus numerous conditions if bond is posted.

Among the conditions, the South Carolina State Grand Jury requested that, if bond is posted, Laffitte be held on house arrest with electronic monitoring, surrender his passport and not be allowed to leave the state. Lee agreed to those conditions.

Murdaugh is expected to be indicted for the murders of his wife and son.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/south-carolina-attorney-alex-murdaugh-expected-indicted-murder-charges-rcna37862?fbclid=IwAR2-pJuMsm4aEUk8xiiE2oaEpEeSKNk6y_pfQv3gQkRnR71xzbb-SfP2Gyc

A grand jury is expected to indict embattled South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh on murder charges in last year's slayings of his wife and son, sources said Tuesday, the latest twist in the sprawling scandal engulfing a local legal dynasty.

According to three sources close to the investigation, the grand jury is expected to indict later this week on double murder charges and will announce the findings of the indictment shortly thereafter. The family has been notified about the indictment, and so has Murdaugh. Part of the indictment is based on new evidence.

The Grand Jury indicted him today for the murders of his wife and son. His law license has already been revoked but now authorities have filed to disbar him.

Murdaugh and these new charges will be on 20/20 tonight.

[+susieice]

I watched a report on Court TV where they were discussing this case. Apparently, blood splatters were found on Murdaugh's clothes that are consistent with his being at the scene at the time the shootings took place. He had said he was visiting his father and found the bodies when he went there. Police have a cellphone video showing his mother with his father talking at the time the murders took place. I guess this is some of the new evidence that the Grand Jury indicted him on.

Murdaugh pleaded not guilty and the lawyers have agreed not to release any of the evidence to the media yet, so I don't know where Court TV got this. 

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/murdaugh-pleads-not-guilty-to-murdering-wife-and-son-lawyers-agree-to-keep-evidence-secret/3782562/

The indictment wasn't read in court on Wednesday, and court papers made public to date don't indicate how police linked Murdaugh to the deaths after over a year of investigation. Nor do they contain any clues as to why a man who had no criminal history and was part of a wealthy, well-connected family that dominated the legal community in the tiny town of Hampton might have wanted to kill his own family members.

His defense lawyers and prosecutors agreed to keep the evidence secret amid media attention. His defense said Murdaugh can't afford to post any bond and wants a speedy trial because "he believes the killer or killers are still at large.”

The prosecution said all evidence shows he was responsible for the fatal shootings.

“The evidence in this case is substantial and it all points back to Alex Murdaugh. There is forensic evidence as well as other evidence of his guilt of these murders,” said Creighton Waters, a deputy state attorney general.

People Magazine seems to have some info also.

https://people.com/crime/alex-murdaugh-case-mountain-evidence-police-say-proves-murdered-wife-son/

While the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) would not comment on the charges, a law enforcement source with direct knowledge of the case tells PEOPLE in its latest issue that they have a "mountain of evidence" against Murdaugh — and that they took a year to charge Murdaugh because authorities wanted to properly investigate the murders.

The law enforcement source tells PEOPLE that blood spatter allegedly found on Alex Murdaugh's clothes indicates he was at the scene at the time of the murder, and not visiting his father at the hospital, as he later claimed.

Additionally, the source says that Murdaugh's cell phone, watch, and vehicle GPS also contradict his assertion that he was continually with his father at the hospital. Investigators say that Murdaugh lured Maggie to the scene, saying that he wanted to go with her to visit his ailing father, with whom she was very close.

 

According to several sources, Maggie and Alex had hit a rough patch in their marriage, and she was staying at the family's beach house on Edisto Island, approximately an hour away from the family's estate. The law enforcement source tells PEOPLE that Maggie initially declined to meet Alex at the family home, suggesting instead that they meet at the hospital. Ultimately, she consented to meet at the property, planning to follow Alex to the hospital in her own vehicle.

On her way to the house, Maggie allegedly messaged a friend, saying that something about her husband's behavior felt "fishy," the law enforcement source says. "He's up to something," Maggie allegedly wrote to her friend.

Perhaps the biggest piece of evidence that law enforcement has is cell phone audio and video that appears to place Murdaugh at the scene, talking with Maggie just moments before she was killed.
