COLUMBIA, S.C. — A short cellphone video of the Murdaugh family purportedly taken right before Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were fatally shot at their rural estate in June 2021 depicts a “happy family,” according to a source familiar with the video recording.
“There is talking, and it’s extremely playful and friendly,” the source, who asked not to be identified because they are not authorized to make public statements about the video at this time, said of the cellphone video with audio.
“It sounds perfectly normal, like any happy family — mother, father and child — doing something together. They are spread out, it sounds like, and they are just talking back and forth.”
