Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson, the family's longtime housekeeper, claims that Alex Murdaugh was watching true crime shows before his wife and son were murdered. She also shared a theory that Murdaugh did not act alone in the alleged murders, stating that someone else came in and helped clean up the scene. His conviction for murder was overturned this year after the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that the local court clerk had manipulated the jury. Turrubiated-Simpsons worked for the Murdaughs, a wealthy legal dynasty in South Carolina. She believes the family was misunderstood and that Paul Murdaugh, who was on trial for murder at the time of his death, was "villainized so much in the media" and had a lapse in judgment.
