The first person to find the body was Paul’s father and Maggie’s husband, Alex Murdaugh, and it was he who reported it to the police. However, he became a suspect in the murder case, as there were some flaws in his alibi, and he possessed the same weapon that was used in the murder, which deepened the mystery surrounding the case.

Fox Nation has slated the docuseries The Fall of the House of Murdaugh for September, with the project featuring an exclusive interview with Richard Alexander “Buster” Murdaugh, the only living son of Alex Murdaugh.
The elder Murdaugh was convicted in March of killing his wife and son, in a case that captivated public attention in part because of the prominence of the family in rural South Carolina. The murders occurred at the family estate in Islandton, Sc.
Fox Nation President Jason Klarman said that the docuseries “features a comprehensive look inside the case that many have tried to tackle since the day the difficult story unfolded.” He said that the series also “puts forward several missing elements that have not been brought to light.” Among the elements will be behind-the-scenes footage before and after the trial, home movies and, according to Fox Nation, “prison revelations from Alex himself.” Also featured...

Judge Clifton Newman sentenced Alex Murdaugh, 54, to life in prison on murder charges this morning.
This comes less than 24 hours after a South Carolina jury found the disbarred lawyer guilty of the murders of his wife and son in 2021.
The trial lasted 28 days, but it took the jury only a few hours to unanimously agree that Murdaugh was guilty of the two murders.
Murdaugh faces 30 years to life in prison for each murder conviction without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutor Creighton Waters asked for the maximum sentence of two consecutive life sentences but did not pursue the death penalty, saying that Murdaugh shouldn’t “be among free, law-abiding citizens again.”
