I mean, the first incident that starts getting a lot of airtime is that boat crash, the death of Mallalerie Beach. On
00:00:06
February 23rd, 2019, she was ejected from Alec Murdoch's boat after it crashed into a bridge at 2:21 in the
00:00:13
morning. Now, there weren't any adults on the boat. It was just a group of teenagers with Alex's son, Paul,
00:00:17
allegedly at the wheel. And while all of the other kids made it back to shore after the crash, Mallerie didn't. Her
00:00:24
body was found eight days later in a marsh about 5 miles away from where the crash originally happened. Now,
00:00:30
according to the coroner, Mallerie drowned after suffering a blow to the head from impact. When officers got to
00:00:36
the scene that night and started talking to all of the kids, it was clear that they had been drinking. A police report
00:00:42
describes them as grossly intoxicated and there was a cooler full of beers and seltzers on the boat and a bunch of
00:00:48
empty cans. But no one was breathalyzed at the scene, >> which I always get hung up on that part.
00:00:55
Like why not at least breathalyze Paul?
