UPDATE: Murdaugh admits hiring hitman to kill him so son would get insurance – TCDPOD – Everything Law and Order Blog

In a breaking development Wednesday, Sept. 15, 2021, in the Murdaugh family double-murder case, Alex Murdaugh has admitted to allegedly hiring a would-be hitman to kill him in a botched suicide plot. Alex Murdaugh reportedly told his attorneys he hired a man to shoot him in the head so Murdaugh’s surviving son would receive a $10 million insurance payout.

On Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021, SLED announced the arrest of Curtis Edward Smith, accused of being Murdaugh’s accomplice. Smith is charged with assisted suicide; assault and battery; pointing a firearm; insurance fraud; and conspiracy. Smith is reportedly a former client of Murdaugh’s.

Murdaugh is likely to face charges, his attorneys have said.

Alex Murdaugh was hospitalized on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2021. He said he was changing a tire on the side of the road when a truck drove by, turned around, and someone shot at him, grazing his head. The same weekend, Murdaugh was accused of misappropriation of funds from his own law offices, and Murdaugh later announced he has entered rehab.

Alex Murdaugh discovered the bodies of his younger son Paul and his wife Maggie on their South Carolina property in June. Both victims were shot to death. No arrests have been made in the double-homicide case.

  1. Sitting back here on the couch in Australia we are fascinated by this bizarre American case and the portrait of this monstrous human masquerading as a father and devoted husband. I reflect on 40 years of private and policing investigations and can't help feel that it's not possible the criminal Alex M would actually pull the trigger and observed Paul survive the 1st shotgun blast only to stagger towards the door and a 2nd kill shot to his head. Maggie runs from around the corner only to be confronted by perhaps a different shooter holding a different weapon. For a person who 5 mths later actually hired an eager cousin (he must have assinators on speed dial) to "fake" a road side murder which pathetically failed, I can well imagine that Alex M would easily find a person or persons to hunt down his youngest son and estranged wife. I can imagine Alex M sitting on the couch cringing listening to the gunfire then going about creating his own crime scene. Did SLED check all cell tower connections (did Alex have a burner phone) to see if there was activity in and about the coverage from a 3rd party cell during the 30 minutes of the crime scene, it's not that hard to do?

  2. No way did he hire a his cousin to kill him. He's a cowered! He hired his cousin to make it look like someones trying to kill him as a motive for his wife and son murdered. It's all about him. He killed his own son because he was going to lose everything because of his son killing the 19 year old cause daddy would have to bail him out. His son didn't have millions. They couldn't sew him for what his son did. By killing him and his wife he could possibly get her assets to pay everyone he stole from. He'd still be in a hole. So maybe he thought he could run. Sure be easy to pick him out of a crowd. He's a disgusting human being!! Not to bright for a lawyer!
    He's going to wish he was killed when he sits prison for years and his son went have a thing to do with him.

  3. This type politician lives and runs around all over every city/county in the USA. Power and its trappings create this type of person. This is why you should have limits to terms on all positions of power. So that no one can over time slowly gain the foothold to take over and run an entire government from one office. In most political systems in the USA the political powers use favors and debts to keep each other in line. It is a very closed system where you find that most all of them are pretty much a huge bunch of immoral corrupt criminals who over time all hold secrets over each other as a way to get away with and stay out of trouble from their oversights from others by all in agreement's with each other to cover or look the other way when possible. This is an example of that. This is the way to eliminate any blowback on others in that city government from problems. The best thing this city can do is to elect and remove from office and replace the offices with solid unknow citizens that can eradicate this obviously corrupt city. Someone don't get away with stealing 2 million dollars from their clients for years without several offices being involved in and having financially gained from keeping that all quiet. Now the cats out the bag. The other corrupt people are cannibalizing Mudaugh and Murdaugh is basically stuck like chuck and if he were smart would be trying to find a way to get a message to his only chance at redemption. He needs to get the FBI involved and come clean on everything… I am sure his case is very carefully being handled to keep the oversights of the FBI out of the case at every turn.

  4. what the hill else was the guy doing, millions upon millions, you can't spend it in that town, if you did that many drugs you would be dead – what ELSE is that evil involved in – something bigger even yet.

  5. He had the same guy kill the wife and son, son probably got in the way, for insurance money – how much does he get for that? =as he was at the hospital visiting his dad. The guy he hired, same guy, those guys don't come a dime a dozen, same creature was hired to shoot him, but the weirdo f'd it up. And now he is lying to get out of murder of the wife and son and attempted murder on him. Case solved.

  6. i don’t believe he planned to die that day. reverse the situation.. if he truly hired him to be shot in the head, when he missed… why would he call 911?? why wouldn’t the guy shoot again? i believe he wanted ppl to believe someone was after him. i believe he killed his family & if law enforcement believed someone was after alex, it must be the same ppl that killed his family. taking suspicion off of alex. IF ALEX PAID SOMEONE TO KILL HIM HE WOULD BE DEAD. c’mon

  7. He's lying. He's too self centred to want to be murdered for insurance for someone else. His other son tried to kill him like he already killed his mother and murderous POS brother. That boy there has put up with sh.t from his family for being gay, while his brother was enabled because he was straight. He had to watch as they murdered people including his own boyfriend and his brother was enabled all the way.

  8. I don't know a lot about the case, but I thought he just wanted to seem more innocent in the murder of his wife and son by being 'attacked' himself – wouldn't be the first one – his reason somehow doesn't sound right to me – why should he be such a philanthropist all of a sudden?! Usually these guys think too highly of themselves and as too important to perish 🤔 And I suppose he would have hired a hitman who made sure the 'job' got done, try twice if need be, if he really wanted to be killed – very weird

  9. When I saw the first story I already thought he hired someone to killed his wife and son for insurance money, when he got shot..it kinda confirmed what I was thinking..he hired someone to shoot him..so I think he just didn’t wanna do the dirty work 🤷🏻‍♀️

  10. I love Anna and so happy that she took over the podcast. I like Owen but still don't think he should be able to talk on the show. He does now talk louder but he says Uh still a lot and kinda mumbles.
