NO ONE else on that long, desolate stretch of rural back road.
"Assisted suicide".
"Opioid addiction".
"No way out but suicide".
"$10M insurance payout".
All pure, unadulterated bullcrap.
1) So exactly how did CES suddenly get thrust into the blazing hot, now-national glare of Murdaugh Murders World? One reason: Alex did not keep his mouth shut. No, he willingly provided info on a blue truck and suspect sketch details and voila ... CES steps onto the bloody stage. Why did Alex draw attention to himself with a 911 call if his whole intention was simply to die so his kid could get $10M insurance? Wouldn't you stay silent?
2) Who would ever have known about CES except for Alex's 911 call?! Certainly sounds like the original Alex-CES deal was a staged "shooting" to establish that Alex is also an innocent, endangered family target ... but somewhere along the way the deal morphed into "assisted suicide". BUT who in their right mind agrees to commit "assisted suicide", i.e. MURDER - in broad daylight no less? To what end, what benefit to the shooter could justify such a terrible criminal risk? It's one thing to stage a fake shooting scene ... it's quite another to actually shoot and kill someone.
3) This back road drama twisted two massively different ways: did CES agree to set-the-fake-shooting-stage "Deal A" but Alex had nefarious "Deal B" narrative in mind, to establish CES as a "shooter", a willing "killer"? Once Alex dialed 911 HE was in total control of the story.
4) And Alex's alleged, wholly failed "gunshot" wound? Safer to self-inflict a nasty wound with a knife (head wounds bleed profusely). Or perhaps he enlisted CES to do it.
5) On a crucial note: If the entire family was/is a target of the mysterious killer(s), why have no attempts been made on Buster or any other Murdaugh family member?
6) My guess as to Alex's future strategy: he and his attorneys are setting CES up for the Big Fall and by that I mean direct implication in the double Murdaugh murders. Exactly how they will do this I do not know.
