Man Who Bought Convicted Murderer Alex Murdaugh’s Home Claims He’s Found Evidence Proving He Didn’t Kill His Wife & Son

Alexander Wallace Blair, the man who bought the South Carolina home where Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, claimed he has found a piece of evidence that proves the former lawyer is innocent. 

Blair purchased the Moselle Estate House and its 21-acre property for $1 million in an auction back in February. Since then, he has started renovations on the house, including an extension to one side of the property. 

Now, Blair says he has the kennel door and window that contain bullet holes from the shooting in June 2021, claiming this proves Murdaugh was not involved in the death of his family. 

Murdaugh received two life sentences last year for their murders, after crime scene experts concluded he ambushed his son Paul in the kennels, shooting him twice before shooting Maggie five times. 

However, Blair says that the placement of the bullet holes suggests otherwise. 

“[Murdaugh] is a big man, he was even bigger back then, and he’s too big for the bullets to have gone through in the way they did,” he said. “Maybe it was karma for other things that he did, but I don’t think he killed them.”

Blair also noted that many of the locals who live on the street where the house is located agree that Murdaugh is not guilty of the murders. 

Blair, a father-of-two, said he plans to use the estate as a secondary residence and hopes to remove the “bad stigma” surrounding it. 

“Bad things have happened on every property,” he said. “But you have a choice to either focus on the negative or to create a positive narrative. And that’s what I want to do.”

In August 2023, Murdaugh’s lawyer requested a new over alleged witness tampering.
