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.

I wonder who shot them?

[rbg81]

Maybe his “drunk alter ego” was the one killed. Oh, my.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Timmy!

[Vermont Lt]

Timmah!

I hope the family of the 19 year old girl has good alibis. Maybe the cops won’t look at them too closely.

I wonder who shot them?

Life’s a beach, I guess. Sadly, the girl he killed back in 2019 was absolutely gorgeous.

[Grampa Dave]

I wonder who shot them?

1. A relative or good friend of the slaughtered girl?

2. A murder and a suicide between mom and son?

[orlop9]

Friends of the Clintons?

Timothy, Timothy, Joe was looking at you. Timothy, Timothy, God what did we do?

[Yollopoliuhqui]

I’ll wager that 3/4 of all homicides are due to mommy issues. Calling Doctor Freud...

[Notthereyet]

She was a lovely young lady.

I believe he really resented the fact she was with his cousin instead of dating him.

The ‘Timmy’ ego most likely got away with a sh*t load of stuff because of who the family was and their position in the legal community.

I think someone meted out justice in their own way and mom was sadly around and suffered the same fate as ‘Timmy’ did.

I’ll take the Dad for $500 Alex.

[BradyLS]

Someone who knew where to find them. Strangely, maybe I shouldn’t surprised if the father came under suspicion.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Remember, there were 3 of them there. Timmy, son and mom.

So Timmy shot the mom, and then the son shot Timmy... and himself.

[Trillian]

Did the mom enable him or was she at the wrong place at the wrong time?

[BradyLS]

I hadn’t considered that angle. I agree that maybe a grieving relative of the girl was behind it, too.

Concur. No doubt that someone had zero confidence that the legal system would hold him accountable.

[Eddie01]

Gossip over the shocking killings of two members of a family spawning multiple generations of local prosecutors has reached fever pitch, with cops yet to officially reveal a motive, suspect, or any further information about the case.

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. The local community felt Paul was receiving special treatment in the boating death case due to his family's power.

Too bad this didn't happen to Ted Kennedy.

[BradyLS]

Beat me to it!

The Father found them at 10 pm, after he had been out that day “shooting” on the Hunting Lodge grounds.

I’m going with Dad.
