Alex Murdaugh Was 'Fidgety' & Brought A Tarp To His Mother's House On Night Of Family’s Murders, Claims Witness
07.02.2023 - 22:15 / perezhilton.com
A very key witness has testified against Alex Murdaugh in his family’s murder trial.
On Monday, Mushelle “Shelley” Smith, who was the caretaker for Alex’s elderly mother, took the stand to address what she saw on the night of Alex’s wife Maggie and son Paul‘s deaths.
As we’ve reported, on June 7, 2021, the mother and son were fatally shot on their family property. Alex has pleaded not guilty, claiming he wasn’t even home at the time of their murders, but prosecutors believe otherwise and they’re attempting to prove it.

According to Shelley, she was taking care of Alex’s mother during her 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. shift that evening when he arrived acting “fidgety.” She claimed he even showed up with a blue tarp, which he was carrying under his arm. Strange…
The caretaker claimed Alex was wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and cloth shoes when he arrived. She did not recall seeing blood or dirt on him. While she couldn’t remember exactly when he came over, she believed it was some point between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. since a game show was on. He came inside to watch some of the show and chat with his mom while sitting on her bed. Altogether, he was there for approximately 15-20 minutes.
Here’s where things get odd. According to the witness, during a subsequent conversation, Alex tried to clarify the timeline of events with her, insisting he’d stayed longer than she remembered. The former lawyer allegedly told her she should say “it was 30-40 minutes if someone asked.”
While this might seem like a small detail to debate, it’s actually a really important determining factor in the case! Authorities believe Alex only went to see his mother that night to create

‘Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal’ Directors on Why the Story Won’t Be Over Even When the Verdict Is Read
Hunter Ingram Directors Jenner Furst and Julia Willoughby Nason were never short on angles through which to investigate the crimes, casualties and collusions of the powerful Murdaugh family of South Carolina’s Lowcountry.

Per Food Network’s description for “Ciao House”: “From real-life nonnas showcasing how they make pasta from scratch to a lesson with the head butcher of a three centuries-old family butcher business, each challenge is accompanied by a local experience steeped in tradition. The competitors must also navigate alliances and rivalries as they pick their own teams and each week, the losing team must vote off one of their own. In the end, only the last chef standing wins the life-changing grand prize: an immersive culinary education across Italy, training with renowned Italian master chefs.”
