About one minute before Paul Murdaugh was fatally shot on June 7, 2021 near the kennels of his family’s South Carolina estate, the 22-year-old was texting his friend about a dog’s tail. “See if you can get a good picture of it,' Rogan Gibson texted Paul.
About one minute before Paul Murdaugh was fatally shot on June 7, 2021 near the kennels of his family’s South Carolina estate, the 22-year-old was texting his friend about a dog’s tail.
The text came after a four-minute phone call, where Paul and Gibson had been discussing a problem with the dog’s tail. So when Gibson’s text went unanswered, according to cell phone activity detailed by SLED special agent Jeff Croft on Monday, the friend sent another message.When he still had not heard from Paul almost an hour later, Gibson texted Paul’s mother, Maggie Murdaugh for some help.
Croft told jurors on Monday that he interviewed Gibson the morning after the murders, where the friend provided him with his last messages with Paul and Maggie. The SLED agent also testified that after the grisly slaying, Gibson said that Murdaugh called him four times. Gibson is also notable among the 250 possible witnesses who could testify in this case deemed the “trial of the century” in South Carolina.
His defense lawyers have argued that Murdaugh, who pleaded not guilty, had no motive to murder his “wonderful” wife and child—and that there is no concrete evidence tying him to the slayings.
