Summary
Three months after Maggie and Paul were found at Moselle, Alex Murdaugh drove to a rural road and allegedly paid Curtis Eddie Smith to end his life in an insurance scheme. The plan fell apart. Smith didn’t finish. Alex survived with a scratch and a story that collapsed within hours. That incident established something critical about Alex Murdaugh: he recruits other people for violence. He sets up the circumstances, creates the alibi, and expects someone else to execute. Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke dig into listener questions about whether that same pattern was at work on June 7, 2021. Two weapons were used at Moselle. Two different types of ammunition. Neither gun was ever recovered. And now the defense is publicly hinting at “third parties and potential motives”—information they say has come from people who’ve reached out since the first trial. Robin applies behavioral analysis to the operational pattern. If Alex planned to have someone else carry out the killings and had to resort to doing it himself, what would that look like? What evidence would survive? And does the physical evidence at Moselle actually support a two-person scenario—or a single person using two weapons? The answers aren’t as clean as either side wants them to be.
