I'm Alec Murdoch.
MURDAUGH.
Good morning.
Mr. Murdock.
On June 7th. 2021 did you take
this gun or any gun like it?
And shoot your son Paul in
the chest in the feed room at
your property off Mozelle Rd.
No, I did not. Mr. Murdoch,
did you take this gun or any gun like it?
And blow your son's brains out on June 7th,
or any day, or anytime.
No, I did not.
Mr. Murdock.
If you take 300 blackout.
Such as this and fired
into your wife, Maggie.
Leg, torso, or any part of her body?
No, I did not.
Did you shoot a 300 blackout
into her head causing her death?
Mr. Griffin, I didn't shoot
my wife or my son anytime.
Ever.
Mr. Murdock, is that you?
On the kennel video at 8:44 PM
on June 7th, the night Maddie,
Maggie and Paul were murdered.
Were you, in fact,
at the kennels at 8:44 PM on the
night Maggie and Paul were murdered?
Did you lie to sled agent Owen
and deputy? Laura Rutland.
On the night of June 7th.
And told them that you stayed
at the house after dinner.
I did lie to them.
Did you lie to Agent Owen and
Agent Croft on the follow
up interview on June 10th?
That the last time you saw
Maggie and Paul was at dinner.
I did lie to them.
And then the interview of August 11th.
Did you tell Agent Owen and Agent Krawl?
Did you lie to them by telling them
that you were not down at the kennels?
On that night.
Alex, why did you lie? To agent Owen,
Agent Croft and definitely Rutland,
about the last time you saw Maggie and Paul.
As my addiction evolved over time.
I would get any situations or
circumstances where I would get
paranoid thinking it and it it could
be anything that that triggered.
It might be a look somebody gave me,
it might be a reaction somebody
had to something I did.
It might be a policeman following
me in in a car.
That night, June 7th.
After finding.
Mags and Paul, Paul.
Don't talk to anybody
without Danny with you.
All my partners were just
repeatedly telling me that.
I had a deputy sheriff taking
gunshot test from my hands.
I'm sitting in a.
Police car. With David Owen asking me about
my relationship with my wife and my son.
And all those things.
Coupled together after finding them.
Coupled with my distrust for sled
caused me to have paranoid thoughts.
Normally. When these paranoid
thoughts would hit me,
I could take a deep breath real quick.
Just think about it,
reason my way through it and
just get past it really quickly.
On June the 7th.
I wasn't thinking clearly.
I don't think I was capable of reason.
And I lied about being down there.
And I'm so sorry that I did.
I'm sorry to my son, Buster.
I'm sorry to Grandma, Papa teeth.
I'm sorry to both of our families.
Most of all. I'm sorry, Max. And Paul, Paul.
I would never intentionally do anything.
To her, either one of them.
Ever.
Did.
If you continue lying after.
That night, did you not?
But once I lied,
I continued to lie. Yes, Sir.
You know, oh, what a tangled web
we weave. But once I told a lie.
And I told my family I.
Had to keep in mind.
