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.
Beleaguered widower and jailed attorney Alex Murdaugh wrongly transferred, sold or disposed of his family's sizable assets, according to a trio of separate court filings made in Hampton County last week.
South Carolina Judge Clifton Newman heard bond term requests from both prosecutors and Alex Murdaugh’s defense lawyers, but said he needs more information before making a ruling.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division has never officially identified Alex Murdaugh as a person of interest in the murders of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, despite the comments of the legal scion's lawyer.
Curtis Smith's attorney, Jonny McCoy, said in an interview on Thursday that he believes the scheme was a set-up by Alex Murdaugh as his life has spiraled out of control following the murders of his wife and son.
“Today is merely one more step in a long process for justice for the many victims in these investigations,” South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel said after announcing the most recent arrest of Alex Murdaugh.
“We were shocked and dismayed to learn that Alex violated our principles and code of ethics,” Alex Murdaugh's former law firm wrote of the scandal. “He lied and he stole from us."
After Gloria Satterfield died in 2018 in what was deemed an accident at Alex Murdaugh's family home, the beleaguered attorney diverted money that was meant for her estate, according to attorney Eric Bland.
