Overview
- Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson says police bodycam video showing a beach towel in Alex Murdaugh’s Suburban triggered her realization that he was the killer.
- She writes that Paul’s 8:44 p.m. cellphone video capturing Alex’s voice at the kennels shortly before the murders ultimately confirmed her belief.
- The morning after the killings, she noticed Maggie’s SUV parked in an unusual spot and pajamas with underwear neatly laid out, which she interpreted as staged and inconsistent with Maggie’s habits.
- While later managing the property, she says she found a lock of Maggie’s hair near the kennels and speculates Murdaugh rinsed off and used a freshly washed towel and possibly a T‑shirt that then disappeared.
- Alex Murdaugh was convicted in March 2023 of murdering Maggie and Paul and later of financial crimes, and he remains in prison as he appeals the murder convictions.
