Five words that Alex Murdaugh muttered during a June 2021 police interview has become a key part of prosecutors’ case in the murder trial. But, what did he really say? Hear the controversial audio:

There, Murdaugh emotionally recalled coming home after a visit with his ailing mother to find his, fatally shot multiple times around the dog kennels on the estate. Walking through the details of the crime scene, SLED senior special agent Jeff Croft can be heard in the June 10, 2021 interview—which was played in Colleton County court over the last two days—discussing a “traumatic” photograph of the family’s bodies.

But Croft first made that claim on Monday, Murdaugh immediately shook his head at the defense table several feet away, before appearing to mouth “that’s not what I said” in court. His defense team claims that in reality, Murdaugh said, “They did him so badly,” referring to whoever murdered his family on June 7, 2021.

Over the last two days, prosecutors have used Croft’s testimony to highlight several pieces of evidence—including Paul and Maggie’s last text messages, shell casings of the two guns allegedly used in the crime, and a $1,201 Gucci receipt that has yet to be explained. But Croft’s interview with Murdaugh in the days after the murder is the most contentious piece of evidence presented so far.

Croff later admitted that he didn’t ask Murdaugh about the statement in their next interview on Aug. 11, 2021—noting that “we didn’t make it to that point.” He did note that Murdaugh was in SLED’s “investigative circle” the day after the murders because he was the only living person who was at the crime scene.

At first hearing it sounds like I, but if you really dial in, I think he said “they”.
