phone locks at 8:49 and 31 seconds, around that same time, and she never answers another text, never sends another text, never makes another phone call never receives another phone call. three minutes, ladies and gentlemen, three minutes, after a video shows he s at the scene with the victims and told everybody he was never there. never there. credibility ladies and gentlemen. what happens? you ll hear evidence that alex s phone conspicuously he didn t have a lot of activity from about 8:09 p.m. until 9:02 p.m. and if he was at the kennels, which the evidence will show, why is his phone not with him? why is it not showing activity? but you will hear that at 9:02. all of a sudden his phone starts to pick up activity. 9:02 the calls he starts moving at 9:04:40 calls maggie s phone, doesn t answer, of course, doesn t answer it. he calls his father randolph in the house but doesn t appear there s an answer there. he calls maggie again at 9:06. remember he s just a third of a mile
there s any life there and although, i mean, he seen his brain laying outside his body, he knows nothing is there he goes over tries to get a pulse out of maggie, calls 911 i want you to hear that 911 tape, it is a man, hysterical in grief, trying to figure out what s going on and tells the nine operator that he concerned and he drives the, back up to the house, by the way you can t see, i ve been out there. you can t see the shed might see the top of the shed, there are pine trees between the front porch or the porch on the house and the dog pens, and it s not a third of a mile maybe the crow flies but takes a little bit longer to drive down there. and this is not unusual for them to communicate by cell phone or tech even when they re all on the same property. it s 1100 acres, big property.
that very day, stuff leading up a perfect storm that was gathering, much like the storms that are coming outside today. listen for that evidence. listen to that gathering storm that all came to a head june 7th 2021, the day the evidence will show he killed maggie and paul. this has been a long exhaustive investigation. it s going to be a fairly long trial. because it s complicated. it s a journey. there s a lot of aspects to this case, a lot of factors to this case. a lot of things that are complicated, you start to put them altogether piece them together like a puzzle, all of a sudden, a picture emerges and it s really simple. really simple.
once we get to the end of that journey, and you have a chance to deliberate, the evidence will be such that you ll reach the in escapable conclusion that alex murdered maggie and paul that he was the storm, that the storm was coming for them, and the storm arrived on june 7, 2021, just like the storms that are heading here right now. that they died as a result of it beyond any reasonable doubt. thank you. for the defense. your honor. . ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my name is dick harpootlian. i think i introduced myself to
they re incomplete and we submit one of the reasons they re incomplete by the way, how do they in mind maggie s phone? maggie s phone was thrown on the side of the road about quarter mile away from maybe half mile from the moselle property thrown on the side of the road. they found it by using find my iphone. and the way they did that they had to open it or have access who gave them the code to open the phone? now, it s not destroyed it s just thrown on the side. what you ll also see is that alex murdaugh was calling that phone at 9:06. as he leaves the house he did call her twice. and texted her. and we also know that at 9:06, as he cranks his car as the cell phone records show that, as the tell let me tri data shows cell phone linking up with the car,
