In reply to the discussion: Alex Murdaugh 'conscious and talking' after gunshot injury in Hampton County [View all]P-Nutt
(59 posts)31. This is all in my backyard.
Alex's father, "Buster" Murdaugh was a close friend of my father before my father died in 1981. The bridge where Paul drove his boat carrying Mallory Beach into the bridge piles after a day and night of drinking, is the bridge going on to Parris Island from Port Royal, SC. I have fished under that bridge 100s, if not 1000s, of times.
The Smith "accident" was always strange considering that he "Smith" was gay, and was having an affair with Alex's other son. The Smith boy's car was located and removed from the Murdaugh estate about 2 months ago. It was discovered during the search of the property for evidence in the gangland style murder of Paul and his mother.
This story gets wierder by the moment.
