A single video taken on the night of the murders of Alex Murdaugh's wife and son played a central role in his guilty verdict.
The video, taken at the kennels of the family's hunting lodge the night of June 7, 2021, contradicted Murdaugh's alibi claiming that he was never at the kennels that night. In the video, the voices of Paul, 22, and Maggie, 52, can be heard in the background.

"This is the video Paul Murdaugh took at 8:44 p.m. the night of the murders. You can hear Maggie and Alex Murdaugh's voice in the background. Alex told law enforcement he was never at the kennels," Fox News reporter Mills Hayes tweeted.
