Hours before Alex Murdaugh allegedly killed his wife and son near the dog kennels of their family estate, the former lawyer knew he was in trouble.
near the dog kennels of their family estate, the former lawyer knew he was in trouble.
But as Murdaugh was scrambling to explain the missing funds, Seckinger said the conversation was cut short when he got a phone call that his father’s condition was “terminal” and he was in the hospital. She said that she didn’t push him about the missing funds after the call and assumed that he left the office to spend the evening with Randolph Murdaugh III.
But Seckinger has been the first witness to provide insight into Murdaugh’s mindset at the time of the murders—and bolster the prosecution’s argument that the slayings were motivated by a desireSeckinger, who said she knew Murdaugh in high school and is in charge of bookkeeping for the firm, described him as a mediocre lawyer who was only successful because he had “the gift of the gab.”
“That is hiding assets,” she said. “We are not going to be part of any hiding of assets or any wrongdoing. We were very concerned that he was trying to do that, and we didn’t want to be a part of it.” Prosecutors say that about four hours after the conversation, around 8:50 p.m., Murdaugh killed his wife and son.
