There are so many odd things going on with this family. What a wild story! I hope one day we will have the full story.

[ThelbBaby]

A true story of greed that this family paid a hefty price for

[kathyrama]

Wow. Alex is a real cold hearted soul.

[awesomeaf]

I can already see a movie being made about his family.
It’s weird that an autopsy was done even if they thought it was an accident, an autopsy should always be done when someone dies regardless of the circumstance.

[Emy]

My goodness...what a scandalous family.

If you are poor and doing good in society, the govt will go after you, knowing that poor will not taking no action because they have no resources...

[MrStringybark]

The police acted like housekeepers trip over dogs and fall down the stairs and break their neck all the time. Oh, and guess what there was an insurance policy. What's to look into?

[AnythingJW]

Medical Examiner didn't do the job right the first time or was bribed?

[TruthBTold-opkv]

Karma didn't miss that address. He got away with a lot of dirt, I take it his money wasn't long enough at this time in his life to keep covering his dirt.

*It’s sickening if it’s true but did Alex Murdaugh receive life insurance money for his murdered son and wife?! Has he pleaded with police to find and capture their murderer?!*

[angelavanhorn]

I hope my son case can be treated with justice, like this case...I do believe, my beloved son was murdered. His gun was immaculate very clean when I picked up from Police Dept. In Sturgeon Bay, WI back in Dec. 2017...

[Kathy-krsv]

Sounds like she saw or heard something
Crazy

[Smart-Towel-RG-]

Alex murdaugh couldn't of gotten away with this for.so long without police / district Attorneys looking the other way

[apogeeangel]

I can't Believe This Monster Killed His sons

[JimiBegbaaji]

If the Murdaugh family story were a movie script, one would still think it were elaborate fiction.

[ginashaffer]

So how can they tell if she had been pushed down the steps and didn't trip? They can't. I'm glad they're looking into it but they're 4 years too late and some millions of dollars short.

[rhondasisco-cleveland]

I have always suspected he murdered her.

[emsauce]

Tom Clancy just got an idea for his next book.

[Cj-enfj]

How can you rule a death an accident without performing an autopsy?? Sincerely, since when did police and medical examiners just start taking people's word for the cause of someone else's death? tf

[Smart-Towel-RG-]

Police helped cover up this murder all the cops involved should be charged if they prove she died a different way that stated
