Hi, blood money listeners. Welcome to this week's bonus content. Now, I know it's not directly related

to this week's case, the Fred Tokar's case, but on the subject of creepy and potentially murderous

husbands, I wanted to tell you that there was an update in the Murdoch case. Remember Alec Murdoch,

the South Carolina lawyer who was charged with fraud and allegedly stole millions of dollars from his clients?

Well, he's been charged with the murders of his wife, Maggie, and son Paul.

They were fatally shot at Moselle, the family hunting lodge in the summer of 2021.

Evidence was presented to the grand jury, and Alec Murdoch has been charged with two counts of murder.

He's also been charged with two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.

According to court documents, prosecutors are saying that Alex shot his wife with a rifle and his son Paul with a shotgun.

This would seem to corroborate a report in Fitz News that said that Maggie and Paul were shot with two different weapons.

It's also been reported that there was blood spatter evidence, specifically high-velocity impact blood spatter, taken from a shirt that Alec was allegedly wearing the night of the killings.

There have also been reports that Maggie's phone was found near the hunting lodge and that it could have important video and or audio evidence on it.

We'll have to see what happens next, but whatever happens, I promise to keep you updated in a future bonus episode.

But the Alec Murdoch case got me thinking about these guys like Fred Tokars, like Alec Murdoch,

the controlling white-collar fraud criminals.

I think there needs to be more awareness in general that these guys can be really dangerous.

I think about Maggie the night of the shootings. If you remember,

she was debating whether or not to go to that hunting lodge. She and Alec had already separated. They

were living apart. He called her and asked her to come to Moselle. Her friends and family say

that she really didn't think that she should go. Her gut instinct was telling her not to,

but he asked her and at some point she made the decision to make the drive. If Alec had been

physically abusive, Maggie may have thought twice about going to that hunting lodge, but probably
