Buster Murdaugh, whose father was convicted in March of murdering his mother and younger brother, holds the belief that the true killer is still at large and he may be in danger himself. In his first television interview since the conviction, Buster Murdaugh shared his concerns with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, expressing his fear that there may be someone out there who poses a threat to him.
During the interview for Fox Nation’s docuseries “The Fall of the House of Murdaugh,” Buster Murdaugh calmly conveyed his anxieties to MacCallum. Clips of the interview were released to various media outlets, marking the first time Buster has spoken on camera since testifying at his father’s high-profile trial, which he attended every day. Unlike his father’s theatrical and emotional performance on the witness stand, Buster’s responses to questions about his father’s involvement in the brutal crime lacked intensity.
Alex Murdaugh received two consecutive life sentences in May, with the jury deliberating for only three hours before reaching a guilty verdict. However, when pressed by MacCallum, Buster confirmed that he believes his father did not commit the murders himself or hire anyone to do it. In his gentle Southern drawl, Buster said, “No, ma’am. I don’t think he could be associated with endangering my mother and brother. I mean, that’s been my stance for a while now.”
During the trial, it was revealed that Alex had lied about his whereabouts on the night of the murders, and video evidence from Paul’s cellphone placed him at their hunting property just moments before the shooting. When MacCallum mentioned this “digital evidence,” Buster chuckled and dismissed it as a “crappy motive,” expressing his belief that the trial was unfair. He claimed that the jury had already formed opinions before ever hearing the evidence and blamed the skewed proceedings on the small town atmosphere.
The globally publicized case involving the influential Murdaugh family gained additional attention when Alex Murdaugh staged a suicide attempt and faced charges related to financial crimes and misusing funds from an insurance settlement connected to his housekeeper’s death on his property. Prosecutors argued that Alex killed his family to divert attention from his impending legal troubles over his financial crimes, driven by fear of exposure.
When asked if he worried about becoming like his father, Buster confidently responded, “No, I do not worry because I am not a thief. I am not a liar. I’m not a manipulator.” However, he acknowledged the presence of some of his father’s positive qualities, of which he is proud.
In addition to the tragedy involving Mallory Beach’s death in a boat crash caused by Paul Murdaugh, another local death, that of 19-year-old Stephen Smith in July 2015, has caused rumors to circulate about Buster. The Smith case is now being investigated as a homicide, but Buster has firmly denied any involvement, dismissing the rumors as baseless and vicious.
Buster Murdaugh’s perspective on his father’s guilt sets him apart from others in the courtroom, as he feels a unique love for his family that no one else can comprehend. The docuseries “The Fall of the House of Murdaugh” will premiere on August 31 on Fox Nation, Fox News’ subscription-based streaming service.
