Mallory Beach Friend: Who is Connor Cook?
Mallory Beach, South Carolina, on the day of his boating accident, he was with five of his friends, including his best friend Connor Cook and Paul Murdaugh’s youngest son, disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh. At the time, Connor was dating Mallory’s best friend, Miley Altman. While Mallory was in a relationship with Connor’s cousin, Anthony Cook.
On February 23, 2019, six friends decided to bring Paul Murdaugh’s boat to a house party on Paukie Island, South Carolina. The group also included Paul’s girlfriend and a third of M’s trio, Morgan Doughty (Miley and Mallory stayed behind).
The six of them stayed up late at the Oyster Roast house party. Later, Paul and Connor decided to go to a bar in Beaufort. On February 24, 2019 the group arrived at 00:45, two went to the bar and the rest stayed on the pier. While Paul used his brother’s ID, Connor used a fake one.
They returned around one in the morning and all boarded the boat once more. However, it crashed around 2:20 a.m., sending Paul, Anthony, and Mallory into the ocean. Mallory did not reappear when the other two children did, prompting Connor to call 911.
Connor was actually 19 years old at the time of the incident. The accident left him with a broken jaw and a facial injury that still bothers him. Although the police showed up very quickly, they were unable to locate Mallory immediately. This ultimately led to a lengthy search. But tragically, about 8 days later, her remains were discovered.
It’s also crucial to remember that Anthony remained at the scene while the others were taken to the hospital. Consequently, in various statements, most of them insisted that Paul was drunk while he was driving the boat. However, only Connor was required to take a field sobriety test.
The fact that Paul had already admitted that Connor, not him, was in control of the ship’s direction was the reason for the same. Anthony, however, claimed that Paul was obsessed with running the boat and refused to let anyone else drive it. Despite this, Connor initially admitted to authorities that he did not remember who was driving.
Connor also stated in his statement, “I remember seeing the bridge, and that’s it.”
Where is Connor Cook now?
After the heinous murder of Paul and his mother Maggie Murdaugh, the Murdaugh family and the police tried to frame him. In a statement, Connor claimed that Paul’s father, Alex, approached him at the hospital, but not to ask if he was okay, adding: “Alex Murdaugh told me I didn’t have to tell anyone who was driving.”
In addition, he said that Alex told him that “everything will be fine. I just had to keep my mouth shut and tell them I didn’t know who was driving and they had me.”
In September 2021, Connor filed a lawsuit against Paul’s liquor dealer Alex Murdaugh, his son Buster, the store, and the seller. there is a valid claim as he consistently insisted that he only steered the boat when Paul left it unattended to argue with his girlfriend and the boat was stalling or out of control.
In terms of his current situation, Connor seems to have kept a pretty low profile since the tragedy. He still seems to be living in South Carolina.
