Once in a lifetime there comes a story so audacious and cruel that it defies the laws we use to govern ourselves. Five deaths surrounding one name: Murdaugh. One powerful family legacy that ruled over a 5-county area of South Carolina. leaving carnage in its wake. It wasn't until a boat crash in 2019 placed a spotlight on this untouchable family, that the tower of deceit began to crumble. The crash resulted in the death of a beautiful 19-year-old girl named Mallory Beach. Her family, refusing to have their daughter's death swept under the tidal plains of the Lowcountry, filed a lawsuit, and it would be the catalyst to Alex Murdaugh's downfall. While the investigation into the boat crash went forward, two other names were whispered into law enforcement's ears: What about the death of Stephen Smith, a 19-year-old youth left battered and dead on a backcountry road in 2015; and have you looked into the mysterious "trip and fall" of Alex Murdaugh's housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield in 2018? Before any resolution was brought to these different cases, gunshots rang out in the night of June 7, 2021, at the hunting property belonging to Alex Murdaugh.
