Buster Murdaugh Breaks His Silence on Dad’s Crime

The surviving son of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh is breaking his silence. Buster Murtaugh is opening up nearly six months after his father was found guilty of killing his mother and brother, Paul. The 26-year-old spoke with Fox News' Martha MacCallum. In the interview, Buster doubles down on what he says is his father's innocence despite the overwhelming evidence that pointed to his guilt.

It’s not hard to believe he thinks his dad is innocent. Having to come to grips with your dad destroying your family has to be harder than hell.

[gdewyg]

It's so unfortunate that son behaves like a dad while dad behaves like a son

[jackychuplis]

It’s so sad that he is in such denial because he doesn’t want to see his father as a monster, but the evidence is there. He even inadvertently said it himself. I hope he gets through it ok.

[ryc]

Wait, did he just say his father is innocent in one statement, but then agreed that he portrayed attributes of a psychopath???

Let's not forget about Gloria Satterfield who was mysteriously found dead at the bottom of the steps. Along with Mallory Beach & Stephen Smith death seems to follow the Murdaughs everywhere.

From what I understand, Senior Murdaugh pulled Buster out of some precarious situations that resulted in several other mysterious deaths. He wears grief a little too well.

[FreebieKitty]

That family is outright scary. All those deaths connected to them.

[alephnull]

He’s either in complete denial or he’s completely in on it

[tibbytx]

He absolutely knows his father is guilty but was raised to always save face and protect the family reputation.

[Michelle.Leslie]

So many deaths surrounding your family, the girl, your brother, your mother, your housekeeper, the gay schoolmate...someones guilty or your family is cursed beyond belief.

[GeorgeDubya]

He knows his dad is guilty but still doesn’t want to believe it

[JUNOtheArtist]

ok but why he gotta be "the red headed son" -_-

[garrettd]

“The red headed son” was that necessary?😂😂

[ellenelle]

He knows his father killed his mother and brother.

[nigelcrabclaw]

I'm assuming the interviewer didn't ask him about how his secret gay friend wound up dead?

[tinfoilhatcovidiot]

Buster laundered money for his dad when his dad was imprisoned.
Buster helped remove evidence after his dad committed those murders.
Buster had a hand in Stephen Smiths death.
Buster is as sick as his father.

[garretreed]

"Im trying not to break down"...as he sits in court smirking

[southerngirlboudelaire]

He’s “breaking his silence” just at the right moment when his dad is seeking a second trial….don’t be fooled the game is always on folks.

[joshuaDstarks]

His father’s first crime was naming his son Buster.

[baptistamercado]

Buster is suspected of being involved in the “hit and run” (the hit and run may have been staged), of a gay local young man that was seen spending A LOT of time with Buster Murdaugh, for a few months before the victims death.

This kid had a dirty (unpunished) past, as well.
