Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is investigating Yemassee Police Chief Greg Alexander and another officer for allegedly handling and concealing the murder weapons and bloody clothing from the 2021 killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh
According to multiple reports, SLED is looking into whether Alexander and another Yemassee officer removed the shotgun and .300 Blackout rifle used in the murders, along with bloody clothing, and transported them to the police department. The weapons have never been recovered.
Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys have filed a motion asking prosecutors to disclose what they know about the investigation. They cite a tip that Alexander arrived early at the scene, offered the defendant a change of clothes, and that the guns and clothing were brought to the Yemassee police station.
As of now, there are no confirmed findings or charges against the officers.
