Maggie Murdaugh and her youngest son, Paul, were shot to death, according to police, at the Murdaugh family's compound in June 2021 in a mysterious double homicide, but as investigators began to dig deeper into the family's past, the story grew more complex.
Maggie Murdaugh called 911 on the morning of Feb. 2, 2018 to report that housekeeper Gloria Satterfield had fallen going up the brick steps outside the family’s home.
“I’ve been doing this for such a long time and I have never worked on a story that is so multi-layered,” Troy Roberts told a CrimeCon panel about the saga of Alex Murdaugh and his family.
On the new limited season of Showtime's "Dexter," the killer has the heir to an oil fortune in his sights: an heir who was involved in a deadly boat crash with eerie similarities to the 2019 Paul Murdaugh crash that killed 19-year-old Mallory Beach.
Prosecutors have alleged that Alex Murdaugh and Curtis Edward Smith conspired “for the purpose of defrauding an insurer," by staging an assisted suicide attempt to look like a homicide.
“Putting a pen in Alex’s hand is just as dangerous as putting a gun in those same hands," lawyers representing Gloria Satterfield’s family said in a statement following the judge's ruling.
In an interview with NBC’s “Dateline,” Gloria Satterfield's family members speak of her death after an alleged “slip and fall” accident, as well as Alex Murdaugh's alleged attempt to bamboozle her sons.
Multiple legal professionals said that the FBI is now examining whether the beleaguered South Carolina legal scion pocketed $3.4 million intended his former housekeeper's sons.
