re: UPDATE: Body found in Brian Laundrie search

Do we know if Alex Murdaugh has been to Utah recently?

Ever heard of Joe Hunt

He doesn't seem like the smartest tool in the shed. I don't think he gets away from it. Big question I have is does the family get in trouble at the end of this?

The cell phones and traffic cameras will break this case.

Pretty clear Brian sent the text from her phone to Gabby mom in 8/30. If it's determined he sent it while headed back to Florida, then that should be enough for them to bring him in for questioning.


Also, the van had to have passed thru numerous traffic cameras and toll toad cameras. Maybe one of them in Utah can verify the last day she was physically in the van and then captures him on the way back to Florida.

A lawyer cannot help a client assist in an illegal act. Giving him advice isn't necessarily being an accomplice in a crime.

If he tells the lawyer I killed her, the lawyer gives him best advice on how to proceed to stay innocent, as his job, what happens to the lawyer? Are they a co-conspirator? Or no because they are doing what they are paid to do by representing their client as best as possible?

---

You cannot knowingly encourage your client to commit illegal acts, or assist in furthering illegal activities.

ETA: Further clarification, telling him not to speak to the police without the lawyer present is perfectly fine legal advice. Saying dump the body and go hide in the woods is very unethical.

Mean while back at the van camper weirdos ranch...

t is unknown if he committed any crimes, so a head start from what?

The family could know

Hunt sought to have his murder conviction overturned and get a new trial

Was he successful though? A jury had the discretion to weigh the evidence.

That so many of the theories that are floating around are based upon “facts” that we have no proof of. Fact: He drove the van back to Florida and arrived on September 1st. Has anyone actually seen him or heard from him since then? Do we even know he was alive for the past two weeks? Fact: He drove back without her. Heck, we aren’t even sure he drove back. Could she have been with him, alive or dead? Did someone else drive back? Is it possible she drove back? Roger says someone was in her spotify account after she went missing. If so, who was it? What are they looking for in Florida? Him? Her? Live people or dead bodies? And is it because of some piece of evidence they found or just because he went missing?

Basically at this point it is nothing but questions and speculation. It this were a book we could just flip to the back and find out what happened. But I am not sure we will every know for sure exactly what happened. It is possible the only ones that do know are dead and took it to their grave. Or they could both be on some beach in Mexico laughing about all of it. Or it may be a glitch in the matrix.

First, a big “frick You” to all you assholes who have had me reading 30 pages (during a college football Saturday, no less) awaiting what I thought was the inevitable “update” that surely must have been posted to illicit so many responses. Bastards.

But I’m with the dude I quoted—we “know” almost nothing. I realized this as I was talking to my dad about this case this morning. And although Im still 99% sure she is dead due to homicide, suicide, or accident and he knows this, I found myself playing devil’s advocate and sort of defending this guy. It’s the Slo in me. But with us “knowing” very little, that video did open up the “suicide or accident” options much wider than they would have been had we not been privy to their behaviors 1st hand or if their behaviors indicated a much different type of relationship.

Remind me again why this was released? (This is not rhetorical, I literally can’t remember or never knew). Was it leaked or did the PD release it voluntarily? If so, why? Seems it would only make a later potential prosecution of him harder by showing him in a rather sympathetic light. So were they still hoping to find her and that maybe the video would compel someone to come forward somehow? I know it would have had to be released eventually, but this early seems to indicate some sort of motive, no? What do y’all think that was?
