The heir to a legal dynasty, who was shot dead along with his mother, is said to have had a drunk alter ego named 'Timmy' and stripped down to his underwear before allegedly causing a boat crash which claimed the life of a 19-year-old in 2019, according to court documents released last week.
Paul Murdaugh, 22, and his mom Margaret, 52, were found shot dead at their hunting lodge in Islandton, South Carolina around 10pm on Monday.

Imagine if someone had done this much investigative reporting on Seth Rich, or the “Armed Insurrection at the Capitol” .....fascinating !
“Timmy” got what was coming to him. It seems the victim’s family realized a son of this “legal dynasty” would get off with no jail time. But his mother? Sad. Can’t leave witnesses.
Nah, just 9 seconds. GMTA!
I’m guessing murder and then timmy committed suicide.
“It was Richard Alex (Dad) who reportedly found the bodies of his wife and son around 10pm Monday night. Sources said he told cops he had been out shooting and returned to the grim scene.”
One was killed by shotgun, the other by assault rifle per the article written. Seems to indicate more than one shooter.
I'll wager that 3/4 of weekend posts on FR are due to mommy issues or female relationship issues.
Alcoholism is a terrible thing
Murdaugh, Inc....
Better get Columbo.
I’ll take the Dad for $500 Alex
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The daily double!
Yep and both guns found at scene. Timmy took a shotgun blast to head and chest, Mom was hit by Assault Rifle.
The Murdaugh family has ruled the county's legal system for decades, prosecuting nearly every criminal case in the southern part of the state. Several family members have served as county elected prosecutors going back almost 87 years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over that timespan, it could have been an endless number who had a hate on for the family....and with what the son did, there was a ready deflector there to take scrutiny elsewhere.
Neat detecting going on there. Assault weapon based on wound size or was the weapon left behind?
“ Their bodies were found several yards apart from one another, shell casings were discovered at the scene and two firearms were recovered.”
Mom was shot with a rifle and the son was shot with a shotgun.
I’m guessing the son killed his mother and the father shot the son.
My question is why would anyone of means choose to live in Islandton? It has a population of 70 and is hardly a resort area.
Fast forward to Monday, Paul was found with shotgun wounds to his head and upper body, and his mom was found dead with gunshot wounds from an assault rifle, the law enforcement source told The Island Packet.
Family feud, looks like.
