Summary

The Hulu’s series, ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ has generated renewed interest in the case. This special release of the original investigative series Laura shared in April 2023 is in addition to recent interviews about the series. Incensed that Maggie had become a footnote in her own murder, Laura began her deep dive that to fix the narrative and deconstruct and decode Alex Murdaugh’s behaviour with forensic precision.  Don’t forget to listen to the new episodes with Mandy Matney and creators of the show, starting from Ep 285 and join in for additional episodes and interviews with Mandy Matney, Erin Lee Carr, Liz Farrell and David Moses in the Crime Analyst Squad: patreon.com/CrimeAnalyst  Registration for spring 2026 Masterclasses is now open here: bit.ly/LRMasterclasses2026 ******  Laura details and shares her thoughts and analysis on the micro timeline, including Murdaugh’s explanation for his sudden burst of activity - of his 283 steps in 4 minutes whilst making many phone calls. Laura discusses the curious missing calls from Murdaugh’s call log, and how, despite the call records showing his many calls to reach Maggie, his behaviour reveals he consciously avoided going to the kennels to speak with Maggie. Laura also gets into the 4820 data points that tracked Murdaugh’s Suburban that night and how he travelled on dark country roads at 80mph, whilst texting his lawyer friend. The data, when paired with Murdaugh’s behaviour, paint a powerful picture of events on June 7. Join Laura as she breaks it down. #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #MurdaughMurders #AlexMurdaugh #Interview #MaleViolence #DomesticAbuse #DomesticHomicide #WomenMatter #SLED #Timeline #CrimeAnalyst #Expert #Analysis #Behaviour #TrueCrime #Podcast  Clips  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSfXD8k6EQ4 https://www.foxcarolina.com/2023/02/17/murdaugh-trial-day-20-interactive-timeline-final-hours-before-double-murder/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaQbHcwi1IE Sources  https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23685616-murdaugh-murders-timeline-full https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/alex-murdaugh-denies-restaurant-search-murders-b2288421.html https://www.blufftontoday.com/story/news/local/hampton-county-guardian/2021/06/21/sled-june-21-update-new-documents-released-murdaugh-homicides/5297112001/ Masterclasses and Crime Analyst Resources and Community   For those interested in learning more, Laura offers Masterclasses covering topics such as profiling behaviour, preventing murder and suicide in slow motion, DASH, DASH Train the Trainer, coercive control, and stalking.

0:00.0	And then you would agree with me that from 902 to 906, your phone finally comes to life and starts showing a lot of steps.
0:11.8	I do agree with that.
0:13.2	What were you doing?
0:14.7	I was getting ready to go to my mom's house.
0:17.0	Getting ready to go?
0:17.6	I thought you'd take a shower already.
0:18.9	You were just laying down on the couch.
0:20.1	What all you need to do to get ready to go in your mom's house?
0:22.5	I mean, there wasn't anything to get ready in that aspect. I was getting ready to go. I was preparing to leave. Doing what? I don't know if I got up, went to the bathroom. I don't know. I can't tell you exactly what I was doing. That's far more steps in a shorter time period than any time prior, as you've seen from the testimony in this case. So what were you so busy doing? Going to the bathroom? No, I don't think that I... Get on a treadmill? No, I didn't get on a treadmill. Jogging place? No, I didn't jogging place. No, sir. I did not do jumba jacks. What were you doing, Mr. Murdoch for those four months? Preparing to leave for my mom's house. What? What does that mean? I mean, you're in the front room on that couch where you say you laid down. The suburban is just right outside. What all are you doing? I don't know if I got up and went to my room, went to the gun room, went back in that.
1:14.6	Doing what? You've been so clear in your new story about everything.
1:17.6	What were you doing during these four minutes?
1:20.6	I disagree with your assertion about every detail, I don't recall.
1:28.4	I know that I was getting up and I was leaving.
1:32.1	I was going to check on my mom.
1:35.4	But specifically what I was doing, I don't know.
1:39.5	Okay.
2:02.6	I know what I wasn't doing, Mr. Waters, and what I wasn't doing is doing anything, as I believe you've implied, that I was cleaning off or washing off guns, putting guns in a raincoat, and I can promise you that I wasn't doing any of that. Okay.
2:03.6	Also during this four minutes where you've got 283 steps, not only you moving around a lot, but you're making a ton of phone calls.
2:12.6	Because in that same type here, you see this red line right here where over that four minute period,
2:19.0	all those steps were taken.
2:20.2	That's also when you're calling, making all these phone calls,
2:22.9	isn't it, Mr. Murdo?
