The trial of prominent lawyer Alex Murdaugh for the murder of his wife and son in South Carolina has prompted the reopening of investigations into other deaths

Murdaugh shot wife five times and son twice, prosecutors say

Subsequently, he told police he had been to visit his mother and had returned to find his wife and son dead by the kennels on the estate.Officers who first attended the scene found Murdaugh in distress. Upon their arrival, he quickly provided a theory behind the killings, suggesting it was a reaction to a boating tragedy that took place in February 2019.

She told the court that she had confronted him about a missing $792,000 on the day of the double shooting. Gloria Satterfield was their long-term housekeeper until her death in 2018. Its cause was originally thought to have been an accidental fall on steps at the front of the Murdaugh home. Suspicion of a different explanation has been given traction by Murdaugh's subsequent financial dealings.
