Alex Murdaugh, the disgraced former attorney who was heir to a powerful legal dynasty in South Carolina, has been charged with murder in the deaths of his wife and younger son, who were fatally shot outside their home more than a year ago.
that authorities have cellphone video that they believe not only puts Murdaugh at the scene of the slayings shortly before they took place, but contradicts the previous timeline of events provided on the day of the slayings.
Murdaugh once worked for the century-old, family-founded law firm, which discreetly boasted of securing million-dollar verdicts for accidental deaths, product liability or workplace safety cases. The firm said in September that he was stealing money. Agents also exhumed the body of the Murdaugh's housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, who the family said died in the hospital several days after a fall in 2018. Prosecutors said Murdaugh got his home insurers to pay more than $4 million in wrongful-death claimsby saying he was negotiating for her family but didn't give them any of the money.
