Hampton County 911, where is your emergency?
This is Alex Murdaugh at 4147 Moselle Road.
I need the police and an ambulance immediately.
My wife and child have been shot badly.
You said 4147 Moselle Road in Islandton?
- Yes, sir, 4147 Moselle Road. - Okay.
- Stay on the line. - Please hurry.
This is a cold-blooded murder.
Central 717. Scene is secure.
Got a Whiskey Fox, Whiskey Mike. Both with gunshot wounds to the head.
This is a long story.
My son was in a boat wreck, oh, a few months back.
I know that's what it is.
Alex.
Hey, Bus.
- Hey. - How you doing?
Good.
Listen. Jim told me they indicted a bunch more things last Friday,
but you know that's just overkill, right?
Yeah.
They just trying to pile it on me now. You know that, right?
I'm aware.
But I can take it.
So don't let it worry you.
Mallory!
Where the fuck is Mallory?
Central 717. Scene is secure.
Got a Whiskey Fox, Whiskey Mike. Both with gunshot wounds to the head.
I wanted to let you know because of the scene,
I did get a gun and bring it down here.
It's in your vehicle?
-Do you have any guns on you? - No, sir.
-It's leaning against my car. - Turn around for me.
- I don't have anything. - Yes, sir. I see that.
Is this the only firearm with you?
This is the only one, or is there any more in the truck?
I believe that's it.
- They are dead, aren't they? - Yes, sir.
That's what it looks like.
Randy. Maggie and Paul are dead.
When was the last time you were here with them?
-Or talked to them, or anything like that? -It was earlier tonight.
-Uh, I… I don't know the exact time, but… - Okay.
I left. I was probably gone an hour and a half for my mom's,
and I saw them about 45 minutes before that.
I rode around with Paul for two hours this afternoon.
That's your son? Paul?
Okay.
Is somebody going to check 'em?
They've already checked 'em.
- They did check? -Yes.
- It's official that they're dead? - That's what it looks like.
- I'm sorry. - No, you're fine.
How you doing?
Are they covering 'em up?
Y'all familiar with this family?
I wasn't until he told me their names.
All right. I'll fill you in later.
The gentleman in the white shirt is the husband of her,
father of him.
That is Paul Murdaugh.
Paul Murdaugh was that guy in the boating accident from a while back.
It's going to be retaliation for the family.
Most likely.
In just a minute, we're gonna pick this sheet up.
All right.
And what I'd like to do is pick it up this way so they can't see.
- Yup. -We're gonna see if there's a…
'Cause it changes the scope of everything.
-If there's firearms underneath him… - Yup.
…we can slow down with all this shit and let SLED handle it.
I get that.
But if it's not, we're gonna back everything off real quick.
- Okay. - Back everybody further out.
There's his phone.
I don't think he put that phone back on his behind.
I haven't asked the dad about the phone,
but Dad did say he came over and checked their pulses.
He did have a shotgun with him. I have secured that in my vehicle.
It's an upwards shot. There's blood all over the ceiling.
Went in here, took everything out the top.
That would point to suicide.
So he got here, took the shotgun.
- That's what I'm thinking. - Possible.
