Alex has been adamant that he did not commit the killings, even claiming he wasn\u2019t at home at the time of his family member\u2019s deaths. And while this latest insight doesn\u2019t exactly prove whether or not he\u2019s guilty, it\u2019s sure to cast doubts in the jury\u2019s mind!<\/p>\n<p>In court on Friday, it was revealed that Alex got out his phone and searched for a popular restaurant just 30 minutes after finding his wife and son shot dead!

The officer has testified that Alex <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared \u201cupset\u201d but didn\u2019t shed any \u201cvisible tears,\u201d according to <em>Page Six<\/em>. Apparently, he was more focused on grabbing a bite to eat\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Just as shocking, the restaurant, which is located near the Murdaugh family\u2019s main house, also had a menu item called, \u201cMaggie\u2019s favorite burger.\u201d It\u2019s unclear if this meal was named after Maggie Murdaugh or if it has any connection to the family. That said, the Murdaughs have been prominent in the area for decades, so it seems likely. Either way, what a crazy thing to google right after finding two beloved family members murdered!<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>At 10:38 p.m., Alex also \u201cread\u201d a message he received earlier in the evening from a man named <strong>Michael Gunn<\/strong>. Michael had sent a photo of a woman in a bikini on a boat, writing to Murdaugh and two other friends in the group chat:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f45f5c784e8-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShe brought the heat to Miami boys\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Again, not exactly the kind of message we think someone would spend their time looking at amid the tragic discovery\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Defense attorney <strong>Philip Barber<\/strong> clapped back at the data, claiming it is simply evidence that his client was in shock after finding the bodies. He also suggested Alex could\u2019ve been \u201cfat-fingering\u201d his cell phone and not intentionally looking up the food establishment. Hmm\u2026<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f45f5c784ec-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This evidence came to light as prosecutors presented a detailed timeline of all the data they\u2019ve collected on Alex\u2019s whereabouts that fateful evening \u2014 including his cell phone and car data \u2014 to prove he was the one who allegedly killed Maggie and Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Special agent <strong>Peter Rudofski<\/strong>, of the <strong>South Carolina Law Enforcement Division<\/strong> (SLED), walked the jurors through the crucial moments of the timeline. Things began with a video taken on Paul\u2019s phone at 8:45 p.m. while he was at the dog kennels on their property. Several witnesses have testified that they hear the voices of Paul, Maggie, and Alex in the video \u2014 which is huge considering it was taken minutes before the fatal gunshots would go off. Four minutes later, both the victims\u2019 phones \u201clocked forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Prosecutors claim the pair were shot dead shortly after 8:49 p.m. The disbarred attorney has claimed after having dinner with his family, he left the property to visit his mother.\u00a0When he returned at 10:07 p.m., he claims he called 911 im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely upon discovering his murdered wife and son. His older son, <strong>Buster<\/strong>, was away with his girlfriend at the time.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f45f5c784f0-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>But here\u2019s where prosecutors think things get iffy. Prosecutor <strong>Creighton Waters<\/strong> pointed out that Alex\u2019s phone had shown no activity for an hour \u2014 until he drove away from the property. Also, he walked more than 70 steps a minute at this time, which was unusual behavior for him. That said, where he was walking wasn\u2019t captured. Still, Waters asked Rudofski:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe was a busy guy right then, was he?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>He replied:<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f45f5c784f6-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt appears.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Also, the timeline put Murdaugh at the home until 9:07 p.m. \u2014 which is more than 15 minutes after investigators believe his wife and son were murdered. And when he did get in the car and drive away, he was racing through country roads at more than 74 mph (well over the 55 mph speed limit). What was the rush? According to prosecutors, when he reached his mother\u2019s home, he parked near a wooded area away from the main house. Authorities believe he may have stashed key evidence there after the killings. Once inside the home visiting his ailing mother, he spent most of the time making calls and sending messages. Then he sped his way back home.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Related: Serial Killer Fangirl Found Guilty Of Murdering Boyfriend<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f45f5c784fc-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Amid the hasty drive, the timeline also marked some <em>inneresting<\/em> details about Maggie\u2019s phone. According to investigators, the backlight on Maggie\u2019s phone turned off at the same time Alex\u2019s SUV drove by the same spot on a two-lane highway. This is also where her phone was found the next day, not far from the family\u2019s home. Hmm. Are they suggesting Alex had something to do with its whereabouts?<\/p>\n<p>This leads us to the infamous 911 call. About 20 seconds after his SUV stopped at the kennels, Alex unsuccessfully tried to call 911 (he accidentally had an extra 1 in the number). He retried and successfully reached a dispatcher about 20 seconds later. That said, is 20 seconds enough time for him to park the car and realize what had happened to his family members?? Depends on who you ask\u2026<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>In the cross-examination, defense attorney Barber claimed the data didn\u2019t accurately highlight the events of the night. For starters, he noted the step information didn\u2019t include the distance walked nor was it compared to data from previous days, which would have more effectively proven whether or not Alex was walking at an abnormal pace. He also claimed 20 seconds was likely long enough for Alex to have discovered the murders and called 911, stressing that the car\u2019s headlights probably illuminated the incident before he\u2019d even parked.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63f45f5c78500-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There\u2019s lots more information where this comes from, including details about Alex\u2019s alleged drug addiction.
