Smith told the AP he wasn’t sure if Murdaugh was hit. Smith refused, they wrestled over the gun and it fired once. When they got to the lonely road, Murdaugh asked Smith to shoot him. Smith has denied shooting Murdaugh, telling The Associated Press that Murdaugh asked to meet with him, but didn’t give a reason. In a second call lasting more than seven minutes, Murdaugh says he has secured a ride to the hospital from someone at the scene, and later says he is hanging up because he has encountered the ambulance sent for him by a dispatcher.ĭays later, state agents proceeded to arrest Curtis Edward Smith, 61, accusing the former Murdaugh client of assisting him in the insurance scheme. Murdaugh proceeds to say he is “bleeding pretty bad” from somewhere on his head, describing the shooter as a “white fella" who is “a fair amount younger than” him with “really, really short hair.” Among the investigations is a probe of millions of dollars allegedly missing from the huge law firm founded a century ago by his great-grandfather.ĭuring Murdaugh's first emergency call, which is about four minutes long, he informs a dispatcher that he had stopped after getting a flat tire: “Somebody stopped to help me, and when I turned my back they tried to shoot me,” Murdaugh says. State police have opened at least six investigations into the 53-year-old heir to a legal empire in Hampton County, South Carolina and his family since he found his wife and other son shot dead outside their Colleton County home in June. The calls released Friday also include two made by Murdaugh himself near the scene of the rural road in Hampton County where Murdaugh had stopped on Sept. “Oh, I don’t blame you,” the dispatcher responds. “He looks fine, but it kind of looks like a setup,” the woman says. The man accompanying her observes that the man's SUV had the trunk open and the caution lights on. On the 911 call from a man and a woman, the female passerby tells the dispatcher that she saw a man covered in blood, waving his hands on the side of the road.
