Alex Murdaugh: What His Eyes Told the First Officer on Scene

Alex Murdaugh: What His Eyes Told the First Officer on Scene

Part 3 of our interview with James Lasdun closes out the series with the question the trial couldn't answer — how does a man kill his own wife and son?

The Family Man places Alex alongside documented family annihilators whose cases mirror his with disturbing specificity. Jean-Claude Romand — fake career, decades of financial fraud, killed his wife, children, and parents when the lies collapsed. Researchers categorize this type as "anomic" — men who equate family with status. When the status falls, the family becomes disposable.

The book also confronts the contradiction at the center of Alex's behavior that night. The first officer on scene described his eyes as wrong. Hours later, he's sobbing in a SLED car and it looks real. The author argues both the grief and the deception were genuine — happening at the same time in the same person.

The psychology behind this case has been studied for decades. The answers are darker than most people expect.
