Re: Question about Alex Murdaugh

They are exhuming the housekeeper's body. That should answer some of the questions her family and law enforcement have. Alex had taken out a huge life insurance policy on her, but Alex had kept most of it leaving her family with very little of the money. This entire family is one tragedy or crime after another.

Re: Question about Alex Murdaugh

[ Edited ]

Some reports say the only source of a "fling" with Stephen Smith was on the Netflix docuseries. I have not watched any of the episodes. No other source has been cited,  so who knows if that is even factual? It does seem the things surrounding that death are also suspicious. The poor guy's body was discovered in the middle of a dirt road not far from Moselle, but not on Moselle property. The parent's attorney says it appears their son's body was placed there to look like he had been killed by a hit-and-run driver. Nothing about the body was disturbed; Hair and clothes were clean and in place, both shoes were on, no scuff marks or dirt from the road on the body.

Has it been confirmed that Alex had a "huge" (or any) life insurance policy on her or was the death covered under an umbrella or homeowner's policy?

 

My understanding is that Alex told the survivors to sue him over the death.  That does not sound to me like a life insurance policy.

@Marp 

Alex had no policy on the housekeeper and yes, he wanted the Satterfield family to sue him under his umbrella/homeowners. 

 

That was my understanding...

One of Alex's brothers is now saying Alex lied about lots of things for a longtime but he isn't sure he is the one who killed Maggie and Paul. Sounds like he is supporting the upcoming appeal.


@Trailrun23  At first I thought it must have been JM, but I finally did see the interview you are referring to and it's Randy, the attorney brother. JM had done most of the talking thus far.

 

I don't understand how either of them aren't sure because they both sat through the trial, but there is that blood is thicker than water mantra.

They didn't seem to be concerned -- esp. Maggie. I wonder what really happened.

 

 

Maggie seemed more annoyed than anything and like you heard, no panic, not much concern. I too wonder what really happened but I am sure it didn't involve tripping over a dog, as Tony Satterfield was told. 

 

Here Mrs.Satterfield practically raised those two boys for 20 years and this is what she gets? Maggie, when the 911 operator asked how old her housekeeper was, didn't even know. Sad

Re: Question about Alex Murdaugh

Comments about Buster and Stephen Smith were rumored  from when I first heard of his death. The original old Dateline days.


When Stephen's car was found on the side of the road the gas cap had been open. 

Local PD initially ruled his death a hit and run. As I stated in another thread, a state trooper not under the Murdaugh's Sphere of Influence argued there were no signs of a typical pedestrian and vehicle crash. 

There was no vehicle debris to be found. Stephen's injuries were not consistent with vehicle contact. Stephen had not flown out of his loosely tied shoes. His body appeared to have been posed in the middle of the road. Stephen had a head wound consistent with a blunt object similar to a baseball bat. Stephen had defensive wounds. 

Stephen's last phone call was to Buster. I had read Buster and Paul had been returning from a baseball tournament.

Re: Question about Alex Murdaugh

No one reported seeing Gloria Satterfield fall. Maggie stated she heard the dogs outside, came out and saw Gloria and called 911.


At some point Maggie stated she called Alex. Alex arrived before the EMTs. Maggie and the medics both stated Gloria was talking incoherent gibberish. Alex stated Gloria told him she was tripped by a dog. No one else reported hearing Gloria say that. While at the hospital when asked how she fell, Gloria told her nurse she didn't know.

 

Alex also stated that Gloria was not working that day, but rather she had just come to get a paycheck. That would mean it wouldn't be a workman's comp claim, but could fall under his home owner's policy. 

An initial payment from insurance was offered, but Alex contacted the insurance company, Lloyd's of London and informed them that unless they negotiated a settlement in the millions he would testify that he was libel and his dogs were responsible.

 

I think this personal injury attorney had planned this bilking from the second she was injured.

Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were both on the 911 call. The entire "accident" is suspicious.
