Buster Murdaugh — who gained his own infamy due to his possible connection to the death of his former classmate Stephen Smith — recently appeared on “The Fall of the House of Murdaugh,” a documentary produced by Fox Nation, and proclaimed his belief that his father, Alex Murdaugh was not guilty. “I do not think that he could be affiliated with endangering my mother and brother,” said Buster (via People). Buster also expressed fear over his family’s real killer. “I think I set myself up to be safe but yes, when I go to bed at night I have a fear that there is somebody that is still out there,” revealed the 25-year-old.
Nicki Swift reached out to Mark Bowden, a renowned body language expert and co-founder of TRUTHPLANE, to fill us in on Buster’s state of mind during the interview.

According to Bowden, Buster attempts to hide his emotions during the interview. “Buster appears to have locked his body in place, hands clasped together and legs crossed in order to resist displaying his underlying thoughts, feelings, and intentions during questioning,” said Bowden. However, “when the interviewer presents the thought, ‘If you believe your Dad’s innocent, your mom and your brother’s killer is out there somewhere,’ Buster shifts his position and subtly raises his legs quickly before responding with, ‘That’s what I believe.'” This signifies “potential stress.” He continued, “This stress could stem from genuinely believing a killer is at large, or it might indicate deception … However, his verbal response itself suggests a belief rather than an evidence-based fact.”
