    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #5

    Even if they don’t know, they know that the Solicitor’s Office doesn’t know. MOO.

    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #5

    Speculation only: Being an active member of the Solicitor’s Office probably entitled him to carry a badge and opted him into a concealed or open carry permit depending on state law (the permit probably not a big deal in SC). The badge would come in handy for traffic infractions or getting into...

    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #5

    From the article: “No hours were recorded by the Solicitor’s Office to account for how much work they did for the agency. Kidd said that was because the relationship was informal, and the Murdaughs did not prosecute many cases.” The Solicitor’s Office apparently doesn’t know what cases were...

    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #5

    Blackmailers never decrease their demands. Gambling would get him into a rough crowd, but I’d also think that would be harder to hide from friends and family. One can’t help but wonder whether AM’s father ran a lot of interference for AM behind-the-scenes, as AM (with his father’s help) tried...

    AMBER ALERT TN - Summer Moon-Utah Wells, 5, Rogersville, 15 Jun 2021 #29

    I’m not sure if this is what the original poster had in mind, but Mary calling CM after receiving the CW call was on the approved Unmasked episode: Don Wells - Rumors Explained / Phone Call CM starts discussing this at 46:15 (he joins the episode at 44:30). Hope this helps. MOO: Mary called...

    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #5

    AM’s brother, RM, is both a family member and a former law partner. AM is said to have called RM after calling 911, and the media accounts of the roadway incident were from John Griffin, a family attorney who received his info from RM. MOO, RM may have been put in the position of trying to help...

    RBBM. The resources that AM previously had at his disposal are now protecting the firm. He is now expendable, and, depending on where the money went, may also be broke. Going to rehab won’t stop any legal proceedings. If there is anyone after him other than LE, rehab might provide more...

    Agreed. Rehab provides PR cover, not legal cover. LE will move when they’re ready to move.

    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #4

    I wonder where the money went, and when it started to go missing. Doesn’t the law firm also employ several of his family members (in addition to having been founded by his grandfather)? Interesting that he called RM, who is also an attorney and I believe a partner at the firm, after / during...

    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #4

    That’s a possibility. I’m not ready yet to assume what AM said on the 911 call or to his brother on a subsequent call. All the initial info regarding the passing truck and gunfire came from an attorney who said he got it from RM (AM’s brother). Unraveling who said what to whom and when will be...

    SC - Paul Murdaugh, 22 and mom Margaret, 52, found shot to death, Islandton, 7 June 2021 #4

    Here we have the first statement from AM since the murders. Let’s parse away (not statement analysis, I don’t know the field). It’s prepared, likely with the help of attorneys, and not provided verbally, and thus less valuable than an extemporaneous statement would be. Still, it’s what we have...

    TX TX - Alan White, 55, seen leaving LA Fitness, found deceased, Dallas, 22 Oct 2020 #4

    No. He did several interviews when Alan went missing. The only recent statement by anyone in Alan’s family was by his brother to Dateline shortly after his body was discovered: “My brother was a good man, with no known enemies; this is why this is so baffling to us,” Alan’s brother told...

    ID ID - Michael “Monkey” Vaughan, 5, last seen near home, Fruitland, 27 Jul 2021 #1 *endangered*

    Snipped for focus. I'm with you -- I'm not sure what led to this conclusion. They had FBI CARD team deployment, so there are expert advisors on this. What could they have? IMO, speculation only, some possibilities, very open to striking and/or adding additional: He wasn't alone when last...

    MODNOTE Again: Websleuths is victim-friendly and speculation has to be fact-based. No more lifestyle speculation based on donut orders. Any discussion of obsessions or compulsions has to be based on stronger evidence than someone ordering a gluten-free (or even a sugar-free) donut. Someone...
