Oh wow. There are parallels to the Murdaughs. But Paul, from the accounts from friends, had two distinct personalities. The one fueled by alcohol, Timmy, was angry, abusive irresponsible and devoid of reasoning abilities. Paul without alcohol was apparently a person capable of love and compassion. He loved Ms Gloria, the housekeeper, he cared for the dogs and his friends. The night of his death he was worried about the dog’s tail. He cared about Alex. He knew about the pills. The little detective. Maggie knew, too, and they weren’t happy. I don’t believe they were going to go along with Alex’s story anymore. Paul was enabled and encouraged by parents who used their societal power and influence to keep him from ever facing consequences. But according to friends, he felt guilt over Mallory’s death. He didn’t leave the scene (of course he couldn’t). He had a family telling him the narrative he would follow for court and appearances. He couldn’t admit the truth because his family wouldn’t allow it. His life could have been so different in a family that didn’t live in a house of cards where their reputation and legacy was far more important than the welfare of any one individual. But this guy Rand? Holy cow. Yeah, I don’t diagnose either, but he sounds like a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies to me. Maybe worse.

Interesting how we perceive people. Especially a best friend. Extreme alcohol consumption eventually destroys everything.

Is the Vegas Party still in the making?

If they hit the bulkhead headon, it seems that McCormick would have been catapulted onto the shore, not the water.

Reminds us all of the Murdaugh boat accident!

They have too many irons in the fire and late

I just googled this...how did I not know about this as an RVA resident? Was I asleep in 2017?? I guess I was busy with other things?? Now I'm excited :)
