And he has said he thinks that Ellick was trying to frame him, that they were struggling over the gun and maybe Ellick was bigger than him. Elick's 6'4", 200 pounds. I mean, can he overpower this? And Curtis Eddie Smith, his cousin Eddie, is a smaller guy. He's been out on disability for a number of years. Elick was his disability lawyer. And then frame him.
And you remember when Dick Harpoolian and Jim Griffin, Elick's lawyers, They said in court filings, they're like, you know, the real killer is Eddie Smith. He was the one who killed Maggie and Paul. And so one of the theories is that Alec may have been trying to kill Eddie and then say, see, he was coming after me to kill me the same way that he killed my wife and son.

And it's strange, I don't know if you remember, but he was paying, Eddie was cashing a lot of checks for Ellick over a number of years. And the checks accelerated that summer, the hundreds of thousands of dollars that Ellick was effectively paying Eddie in a way. So was he going to say, he was blackmailing me, look at these payments? There are multiple ways to look at what actually happened there.

But one of them is that if you look at the photos and the defense released the photos, they signed a HIPAA release and released all the photos. There are people locally that say that's not a cut in his head. He fell and that's the gravel on the side of the road that caused him to be cut. But one thing I should add about Cousin Eddie is that he's actually a cousin. I could not believe it.

But if you go back more than 100 years to the Civil War, Alec's great-great-grandfather, so Randolph Sr. 's father, was an officer in the... in the Southern army. And so was Eddie's great, great grandfather. And they were brothers. His great, great grandfather was named Lazarus Murdoch. He was, he was what they call a fire eater. So he was an especially virulent, um, anti he was anti-union.

No, and I think one of the key voices in the book is Blanca Simpson, who was the housekeeper at Moselle for many years. And I think the evidence establishes that Ellick was using drugs. But I think there's no evidence that he was using the amount of drugs and opioids in particular that he says he was. And I had the benefit of 10 years of spending. I could see his through some federal exhibits.
