Summary

June 7, 2021: Alex Murdaugh finds his wife and son shot to death.

September 4, 2021: Alex is "shot" on a rural roadside.

The first was murder. The second was staged. Both stories fell apart.

Part 4 of "The Name" covers the collapse of Alex Murdaugh — the murders, the fake shooting, the investigation, and the trial that ended with guilty verdicts in under three hours.

The Snapchat video proved he was lying about being at Moselle. His own testimony sealed his fate.

This episode explores narcissistic collapse: what happens when a lifetime of avoiding consequences finally catches up.

Alex Murdaugh is serving two consecutive life sentences. He still maintains his innocence.
