Alex Murdo’s older brother is convinced the convicted murderer is still lying about the brutal murders of his wife and son.
“He knows more than he’s letting on,” Randy Murdo, 56, told The New York Times of his brother, a drug addict and serial liar who still denies killing his wife Maggie, 52, and their son. Paul, 22 years old.
“He’s not telling the truth about everything in there, I think.”
Randy’s admission is in stark contrast to his 54-year-old brother’s defense team’s claim that the entire family “really believed” in the disgraced lawyer’s innocence after the six-week trial.
“Not knowing … that’s the worst thing,” Randy said of his doubts about his brother, who was sentenced to two life sentences for the double murder on June 7, 2021.
Randy made similar remarks to Maggie’s sister, Marian Proctor, who found it “off” that Murdoch never mentioned finding the killer.
Randy also said that he spent “a lot of time calling people day and night for weeks” for any possible leads, and his brother did nothing.
However, a distraught brother told The Times he could not imagine his younger brother shooting his wife and blowing one of his two sons’ brains out.
Randy said he now wonders if he ever really knew his brother, given the stream of gross lies he’s confessed to since then, before admitting he lied at the crime scene for 20 months before killing his wife and son.
Randy worked closely with Alex at a powerful and respected family law firm in South Carolina and confronted him months after the murder about the firm’s theft.
Alex admitted to embezzling millions of dollars and blamed it on an addiction to painkillers, his brother said.
He also vowed to never lie to his brother again — a promise he broke in one day, Randy said, admitting later that he was ready to live when Alex told him he’d been shot on the side of the road. . insurance fraud.
Unlike his other siblings—brother John Marvin Murdaugh and sister Lynn Murdaugh Goetti—Randy did not attend every day of the trial.
It was, at least in part, dealing with the damage caused by his brother’s lies and theft, Randy told The Times, detailing how he came to court to clean up his brother’s mess while he was on trial nearby.
He recalled how he had to convince customers: “Look, I’m not him. I do everything right, I always do.”
Randy’s lengthy interview with The Times contradicts what his brother’s lawyer, Jim Griffin, said at a press conference.
“After the six-week ordeal, (the Murdog family) is more confident that he didn’t do it and they’re on his side and supporting him,” Griffin said.
Instead, Randy doesn’t speak to his brother for nearly a year – and suffers from a brutal murder.
“I was hoping to stop thinking about it because I had nothing to offer after the trial,” he said. “But so far it hasn’t.”
