Paul Murdaugh sent his pals the Snapchat video on the evening of his death just before 8 pm (Youtube/Today) COLLETON COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA: Prosecutors in South Carolina claim that Paul Murdaugh, 22, sent a Snapchat video to his pals just moments before he was shot and died. The trial for Paul’s father Alex Murdaugh, a member of one of the most illustrious legal families in the state, who is accused of killing his son, Paul and wife Maggie Murdaugh will begin on Monday, January 23.ADVERTISEMENT Paul, 22, and Maggie, 52, were found dead in June 2021 at the hunting lodge owned by the Murdaugh family. Authorities claim that Alex, 65, lured his wife and son to the 1,700-acre lodge and shot them because his life was out of control due to years of opioid abuse and mounting debts. The trial of Alex, who pled not guilty in June, is anticipated to last three weeks and will be closely watched around the country due to the outrageous allegations of dark family secrets, financial collapse, and hedonistic excess. On Wednesday, January 18, prosecutors claimed that the Snapchat video Paul shared with his pals was “critical to the case.” READ MORE Kayla Kelley:
