The double homicide took a sinister turn as authorities determined that Maggie and Paul had been shot execution-style, with Maggie enduring multiple wounds from an assault rifle, while Paul faced a similar fate inflicted by a shotgun. The high-profile nature of the Murdaugh family added an additional layer of intrigue to the unfolding mystery.
The family's name had previously surfaced in connection with two other deaths. In 2015, Stephen Smith's hit-and-run death raised questions about potential ties to the Murdaugh family. Although the deaths were not officially linked, a member of the Murdaugh family had reportedly offered legal representation to Smith's family, raising eyebrows among detectives.
In 2019, Paul Murdaugh faced public scrutiny when he was involved in a fatal boat crash that claimed the life of 19-year-old Mallory Beach. Paul's intoxication, captured on surveillance footage, led to criticism of the investigation's handling, with a failure to administer a sobriety test.

The recent deaths of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh reignited scrutiny over the handling of the earlier cases, prompting the Beach family to sue Alex Murdaugh. The investigation surrounding the double homicide and its potential connections to the previous deaths is ongoing.
Amid speculation and suspicion surrounding Alex Murdaugh's involvement, he released an official statement, offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the murders. Despite being labeled a person of interest, no arrests have been made in connection to the case, leaving the Murdaugh family tragedy shrouded in mystery and dark secrets.
