Part of the tale is tragic, yet some is hilarious. I wish Pat Conroy were alive to write it. It’s a compelling story. I’m thoroughly hooked.
I’ve been tracking it, so when the Netflix drama comes out in a year or two, I’ll have some notes. Here they are:
Alex Murdaugh
Shot in head (age 53), survived, likely faked
If died, son Buster gets $10M insurance
Lost job and disbarred, embezzlement, druggie
Surrendered on 9/16 for conspiracy for murder
Released 9/16 for ‘rehab’
Also accused of $10M insurance fraud
Maggie Murdaugh, Wife of Alex
Murdered, 52, w/Paul at hunting lodge
Paul Murdaugh, son of Alex
Accused of killing Beach
Was murdered, 22, with his mom, Maggie
Buster Murdaugh, 25, another son of Alex
Maybe killed Stephen Smith
Gloria Satterfield, 57, housekeeper
Dies in stair fall, maybe murdered,
in 2018
Mallory Beach, 19
Killed in boating accident in 2019
Stephen Smith, gay,
Killed in 2015, age 15, hit and run
Possibly killed by Buster
Curtis Edward Smith, age 61
Arrested for ‘attempted’ killing of Alex
Also accused of $10M insurance fraud
Randolph Murdaugh III, 81, Alex’s father
Dies ‘peacefully’ at home (cancer)
