The first call notifying 911 that Maggie and Paul Murdaugh had been shot to death came one year ago June 7 from a frantic Alex Murdaugh, who told operators he found his wife and youngest son bleeding out and not breathing on the family’s Moselle estate.
“My wife and child have been shot badly. ... Please hurry!” Alex Murdaugh yelled through the phone to the 911 operator in a high-pitched voice between what sounded like stifled sobs. “They’re on the ground out at my kennels... I’ve been gone — I just came back ... Neither one of them’s moving.”
A year later, the gruesome slayings have turned into one of the state’s most high-profile, longest-running unsolved murder mysteries.
