Neither out of fear or panic, Alec crouched down next to the door.

And when his son walked through the doorway...

Alec fired upward at close range.

This, of course, was the fatal shot.

It completely separated Paul's brains from his head and turned his face into a loose mask of skin that barely settled upon the skull.

The blast sent bits of bone flying into the feed room ceiling and Paul's red hair mixed with his blood splattered against the doorframe.

As undignified in death as he was in life, Paul had been killed wearing a T-shirt that said, in big red lettering, Wham, bam, thank you, ma'am.

Now, it's thought that Maggie was a fair distance away when Paul was killed, and she probably came to see what had happened after hearing the two shots.

But by the time she saw her son's dead body, it's likely that Alec had already picked up the AR-15 that he had set aside.

This, however, wasn't due to Alec planning on shooting his wife from a distance.

Instead, it's speculated that Alec believed that if he killed Paul and Maggie with two different guns, then investigators would think there were two shooters.

Because...

What single person uses two guns at the same crime scene?

But it's likely that once Maggie saw her youngest son lying on the ground with his brain splattered all over the place, Alec had already fired, shooting her in the stomach and upper thigh.

Another bullet went through her wrist, shattering her tennis bracelet, which scattered the ground with tiny diamonds.

It's thought that Maggie then fell to her hands and knees, where Alec shot her again with the fatal bullet, one that was powerful enough to go into her chest and travel all the way up her body into her brain.

Alec then walked up and fired one more shot into her head, execution style, to make sure the job was done.

And by splitting his wife's skull open with that last bullet, Alec Murdoch had removed both the possibility of divorce and his inconvenient son.

Yeah.

Yeah.
