Soon after cops arrived, Murdaugh searched a popular restaurant that serves “Maggie’s favorite burger.”
Accused murderer Alex Murdaugh searched online for a popular South Carolina restaurant soon after saying he found the bullet-ridden bodies of his wife and son, according to a timeline given in his trial.
It is not clear if there is a connection to the Murdaughs, who for generations had been one of the area’s most prominent — and powerful — families. Whaley’s is one of the oldest in Edisto, where the Murdaughs’ lived, and has a menu item called “Maggie’s favorite burger.”Before leaving the house, Murdaugh’s phone caught him rushing around, recording about 70 steps per minute, far hastier than he’d been throughout the rest of the day.
During his visit with his mom — who was already in the advanced stages of dementia — Murdaugh appears to have spent much of th time making calls and sending messages. “This is a long story. My son was in a boat wreck months back — he’s been getting threats,” Murdaugh said. In cross-examination, defense attorney Phillip Barber ripped the accuracy of the data, while stressing that it did not accurately show that Murdaugh was walking faster than usual after the expected crime time.
They have also said that the timeline shows he would not have been able to clean himself off and change clothes and dispose of evidence.
