| 6/25/26 | ![]() Murdaugh Retrial: What the Defense and Prosecution Are Really After | The retrial of Alex Murdaugh for the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh is being shaped right now — in press conferences, in federal court filings, and in strategy signals neither side would normally make public. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta reads all of it through a lens most commentators don’t have.On the defense side: a stated plan for the kennel video, unknown male DNA under Maggie’s fingernails that was never submitted to CODIS, new forensic cell phone experts, eight thousand pages of locked testimony from the first trial, and a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill that opens up sworn interviews the criminal case never allowed. The defense is asking whether Hill acted alone — and building the tools to find out.On the prosecution side: the Supreme Court gutted the financial crimes presentation that made the first conviction feel like a formality. Creighton Waters has to prove motive efficiently and win a circumstantial case without the emotional narrative doing the heavy lifting. No weapon. No confession. No DNA. The death penalty is on the table for the first time. And if Alex takes the stand again, prosecutors can use everything he said the first time against him. Bob Motta on the full picture.

| 6/24/26 | ![]() Murdaugh Case: What the Federal Suit Against Becky Hill Opens Up | There’s a reason the defense filed this lawsuit in federal court instead of state court. Federal rules let them run their own investigation in a way the murder case never allowed. They can force sworn interviews. They can demand documents that haven’t been made available through the criminal process. And they can pull in anyone connected to the Colleton County courthouse during the first trial — not just Becky Hill.Hill already pleaded guilty criminally. That established what she did. This lawsuit is about finding out what everybody else knew. If Hill gets put under oath in the federal case and refuses to answer certain questions, that creates its own set of problems. If she answers and names other people, the defense has a story to tell the second jury that’s bigger than one clerk gone rogue.The defense also has to decide how far to push this before the retrial starts. If the lawsuit settles, the sworn interviews and document demands go away. That means the defense loses the only tool it has for finding out whether Hill acted alone. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta on whether the information is worth more than the settlement.

| 6/24/26 | ![]() What Creighton Waters Can No Longer Say to the Murdaugh Jury | The first time Creighton Waters stood in front of a jury and talked about Alex Murdaugh, he had twelve and a half hours of financial destruction to work with. Stolen money from vulnerable clients. Insurance fraud. A man who lied to everyone who ever trusted him. By the time the jury considered the murder evidence, they already knew exactly what kind of person was sitting at the defense table.The Supreme Court just shut that down. The justices said the financial crimes presentation was excessive and the retrial must be efficient. They specifically singled out testimony that had “zero probative value” and “obviously high potential for unfair prejudice.” The prosecution can still argue financial motive, but the storytelling that made Alex Murdaugh a villain before the murder evidence even started is gone.What’s left is a case built on circumstantial evidence. The kennel video. The lie. No weapon, no confession, no DNA. Waters says nothing should have been a surprise to the defense the first time because prosecutors hand over everything in discovery. But the defense now has the advantage of having seen the entire playbook. And the AG is considering the death penalty. Bob Motta on whether the state can still win.

| 6/24/26 | ![]() Alex Murdaugh’s Lawyers Just Tipped Their Hand on the Kennel Video | Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin are doing something unusual for a defense team heading into a retrial — they’re telling everyone what they plan to do. Harpootlian said on national television that his team has a strategy for the kennel video, the single most damaging piece of evidence from the first trial. That video placed Alex’s voice at the Moselle kennels minutes before Maggie and Paul were killed. It forced Alex to admit he lied about his whereabouts. The first jury heard it and convicted in under three hours.Griffin went further. He pointed to unknown male DNA recovered from under Maggie’s fingernails that was never run through CODIS. He confirmed the defense is bringing in new forensic cell phone experts to challenge the timeline. He laid out why a venue change might not work — Colleton County’s demographics don’t match the larger urban counties. And he described eight thousand pages of sworn testimony from the first trial as a roadmap for catching prosecution witnesses in inconsistencies.The defense also filed a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill that carries discovery tools the murder case doesn’t provide. They’re not just preparing for trial — they’re running a parallel investigation. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta on whether any of it actually shifts the outcome.

| 6/21/26 | ![]() Alex Murdaugh’s Housekeeper Confronts the Defense’s ‘Other Suspects’ Claim — and Agrees | The defense team says other suspects committed these murders. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson — twenty years inside the Murdaugh household, a key prosecution witness at the first trial — agrees that other people were involved. And her agreement is the worst thing the defense could hear. Because Blanca isn’t saying someone else did it. She’s saying Alex always used someone else to do everything — and the murders fit the same pattern.Blanca’s theory is specific. She believes Alex had a Plan A that involved another person being at Moselle the night Maggie and Paul were killed. When that plan fell apart, she says he executed it himself and built a story around the boat crash families. Her basis: two decades of watching how this man operated. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed four hundred thirty-seven checks. Relationships served as cover. Deniability was engineered into every arrangement. The question Blanca poses to the defense is the one that should follow them into every hearing: if Alex Murdaugh never did anything alone before, why would this be the one time he started?Attorney Eric Bland — the lawyer who built the financial fraud case the prosecution used as motive — adds the retrial calculus. The Supreme Court ordered financial crimes evidence sharply limited. The defense claims new DNA and third-party leads. The AG is considering the death penalty. Bland explains what survives into round two, whether Alex should take the stand again, why the kennel video may land differently with a jury saturated by three years of documentaries, and his own prediction: reconviction is likely, but a hung jury is possible. He describes the holdout juror — who they are and what gets them there. This is the retrial breakdown from the two people who know the inside of this case better than the lawyers trying it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/21/26 | ![]() Is Alex Murdaugh’s Retrial Already Tilted by the Judge’s Connection to Harpootlian? | The woman now overseeing Alex Murdaugh’s retrial reportedly rented office space from his defense attorney and named him under oath as a lawyer who shaped her career. Judge Debra McCaslin was handed exclusive jurisdiction over every Murdaugh proceeding by the South Carolina Supreme Court — the same court that reversed his murder convictions and ordered a new trial in the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Nobody has filed a motion to remove her.Defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis examines whether McCaslin’s reported connection to Dick Harpootlian is a genuine problem or a headline, what her reportedly tough sentencing record tells us about how she’ll run this courtroom, and the ruling that could matter more than any testimony. The Supreme Court said the first trial’s financial crimes evidence went too far. McCaslin decides how far is too far the second time. That decision shapes what the next jury sees, what it never hears, and whether prosecutors can build a murder case without the motive theory they leaned on the first time.Attorney Eric Bland adds the perspective nobody else can. He built the financial fraud case. He represented the Satterfield family and watched his clients testify about what Murdaugh did to their lives. The Supreme Court said some of that testimony had “zero probative value.” Bland confronts what that language means for the people it was taken from. He also responds to Harpootlian’s six-hundred-thousand-dollar civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill, which claims any recovered money goes to Murdaugh’s financial crime victims. Bland represents those victims — and his take on whether that promise carries weight lands hard.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/20/26 | ![]() What Alex Murdaugh’s Retrial Judge Told State Lawmakers About His Defense Lawyer | Years before the South Carolina Supreme Court handed her the most closely watched murder retrial in the state's history, Judge Debra McCaslin stood before legislators and named the lawyers who left a mark on her career. One of them was Dick Harpootlian — the man who will stand at Alex Murdaugh's side when his double murder case goes back to trial for the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.The connection runs deeper than a compliment on the record. McCaslin reportedly rented office space from Harpootlian when she was building her practice. They collaborated on a class-action involving video poker litigation. She sat as judge in a separate murder case where Harpootlian defended the accused — and when prosecutors sought to hold his client before trial, she reportedly refused. Every layer of this history was available the moment her name was announced. And yet both sides looked at the same facts and said nothing.Eric Faddis has prosecuted felonies and defended against them. He breaks down what the Harpootlian connection means inside a courtroom — where a judge's warmth toward one attorney can show up in sustained objections, evidentiary rulings, or simply the tone that shapes how a jury reads the room. Then he gets to the decision that could rewrite this retrial before it starts: the Supreme Court ruled that twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony was excessive and that any retrial must sharply limit it. McCaslin alone decides where the line falls. If prosecutors lose their motive backbone, the evidence that remains may not carry the weight the first jury felt.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/18/26 | ![]() Does Eric Bland Think the Murdaugh Retrial Changes Everything for Stephen Smith? | The Murdaugh retrial doesn't just affect Alex. It touches every case, every family, and every unresolved question connected to the Murdaugh name. Eric Bland represents the Satterfield sons whose testimony the Supreme Court dismissed. He represents Sandy Smith whose son's homicide investigation was reopened because of the Murdaugh murders. And he built the financial crimes case that prosecutors are now being told to scale back.In this full-length interview, Bland takes the long view. He covers the ruling — what it means for his clients and whether the court got it right. He covers the retrial — whether the state can win a narrower case, what the defense's new evidence might be, and why a hung jury is a real possibility. And he covers Stephen Smith — the sealed autopsy, the eleven-year wait, the fifty-thousand-dollar reward, and whether the retrial opens any legal mechanism for Sandy to access new discovery.This is the one interview that puts all of it together through the perspective of the attorney who's been inside the Murdaugh case from the financial crimes to the murder trial to the Stephen Smith investigation. If you follow one conversation about what comes next in the Murdaugh saga, this is the one.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Who Is the 'Powerful Older Man' in Eric Bland's Stephen Smith Theory? | The Murdaugh name appeared more than forty times in the original investigation of Stephen Smith's death in 2015. Stephen was a former classmate of Buster Murdaugh. He was found dead on a road miles from the Murdaugh family's hunting property. When SLED reopened the case six years later, they said it was because of evidence found during the Murdaugh murder investigation. They never revealed what that evidence was.Eric Bland has said publicly that he has no evidence the Murdaugh family was directly involved in Stephen's death — but that they may have known something. That's a specific claim from the attorney who represents Sandy Smith, who helped expose Murdaugh's financial crimes, and who has relationships with investigators on both cases.In this interview, Bland addresses what that claim is based on. He talks about where the "powerful older individual" thread leads and why it hasn't produced an arrest. He explains what the sealed autopsy results mean and whether Sandy's legal team has seen them. And he tackles the Buster Murdaugh defamation settlement — a legal outcome that resolved one set of claims while the underlying questions about Stephen's death remain completely unanswered.With the Murdaugh retrial potentially generating new discovery, this is the moment where Stephen Smith's case either moves forward or stays frozen. Bland tells us which one he expects.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/16/26 | ![]() Does Eric Bland Buy Murdaugh's Third-Party Killer Theory? | Jim Griffin went on national television after the Supreme Court ruling and said the defense has evidence nobody's seen — including an unknown male DNA profile found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. He said it wasn't properly investigated. He said it changes the case. And now the defense walks into retrial with subpoena power and the ability to build a full third-party culprit strategy around it.Eric Bland has seen more of this case's financial discovery than almost anyone outside the AG's office. He's been watching the defense signal its strategy for weeks — the DNA claim, Harpootlian's argument that SLED had tunnel vision from night one, the push for a venue change and attorney-led jury selection. He knows what the prosecution has to work with now that the Supreme Court has limited the financial crimes presentation. And he's making a prediction that splits the difference: reconviction is likely, but a hung jury is possible.In this interview, Bland explains what makes the hung jury scenario real, whether the unknown DNA has the forensic weight to support an alternative suspect theory, and why Creighton Waters may be walking into a fundamentally harder case than the one he won. He also answers a question nobody else has put to him — whether anything in the financial records he's reviewed could be reframed by the defense in their favor.The lawyer who built the state's motive case gives his blueprint for trial two.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/15/26 | ![]() What Did the Murdaugh Ruling Cost the Families Eric Bland Fights For? | Becky Hill wanted to sell books. Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions are gone. And the financial crime victims who sat on that witness stand are now being told by the state's highest court that some of their testimony had "zero probative value." Eric Bland represented those victims. He's the attorney who exposed the financial schemes that prosecutors used as their entire theory of motive. And he's furious.The Supreme Court's ruling turned on Hill's conduct — the improper comments to jurors, the pressure to convict, the book deal that allegedly motivated her interference. Hill has since pleaded guilty to obstruction and perjury. She received probation. And now Murdaugh's defense team is suing her for six hundred thousand dollars under a federal civil rights statute, claiming any money recovered goes to the financial crime victims Bland represents.Bland wasn't consulted. He has questions about that promise. He also has questions about Harpootlian's "lone wolf" theory — the suggestion that Hill may not have acted alone in influencing the jury. That's not an idle question. If the defense can establish that someone else was involved, the entire first trial becomes even more radioactive — and the prosecution's job at retrial gets exponentially harder.This interview is with the lawyer who knows where the financial bodies are buried, who has watched this case from inside the machinery since the beginning, and who is now watching the court system tell his clients their suffering didn't count enough. That's a conversation worth hearing.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/12/26 | ![]() Alex Murdaugh and His New Judge Graduated From the Same Law School Just One Year Apart | Alex Murdaugh finished law school at the University of South Carolina in 1994. The judge who now holds his future finished at the same school in 1993. Twelve months apart, same building, same degree — and two lives that could not have run in more opposite directions. He walked into a family firm with a century of Lowcountry power behind it. She walked out with law books other people had to buy for her, opened a solo practice, and spent twenty-five years grinding before the General Assembly ever put her on the bench. Now those two paths collide in the biggest retrial this state has ever seen.If you've followed every turn of this case, this episode is your full briefing on Judge Debra McCaslin. We trace how Chief Justice Kittredge's order handed her exclusive control over every motion, every hearing, and the retrial itself. We dig into her real history with Dick Harpootlian — the shared office space, the video poker class action, the murder case where she refused to revoke his client's bond. And we look hard at the other side of her ledger: the triple-murder trial where she sentenced both defendants to life, and the DNA challenge she shut down that the appeals court later upheld.Then the stakes: McCaslin will decide whether this trial leaves Walterboro, how a death penalty demand gets handled if the Attorney General follows through, and how much of the financial-crimes evidence the next jury actually hears after the Supreme Court said the first jury heard far too much. Every road in this case now runs through one woman — and the Murdaugh name means nothing to her.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/12/26 | ![]() Murdaugh's New Judge Has Sent Killers Away For Life | For everyone who has followed the Murdaugh case with their heart in their throat — waiting, again, for a verdict that finally holds for Maggie and Paul — here is what we actually know about the woman now in charge.Judge Debra McCaslin was handed the entire Alex Murdaugh case by the South Carolina Supreme Court: every motion, every ruling, and the retrial itself. And while the internet fixates on her reported history with defense attorney Dick Harpootlian — the office she once rented from him, the praise she reportedly offered during her rise to the bench — her record tells a different story. This is a judge described as tough, fair, and impossible to rattle. A judge who has reportedly handed down life sentences in murder cases and stood with law enforcement when defense teams alleged foul play.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joins us to make honest sense of both halves. He explains what one judge can truly decide in a case this size, whether the Harpootlian connection is a genuine problem or a headline, and the ruling that matters most to anyone who wants this retrial done right: how much of Murdaugh's financial-crimes evidence the next jury will hear, after the Supreme Court found the first trial crossed the line.Because the first verdict was lost to a court official's misconduct — not to doubt about the evidence. The families connected to this tragedy, and everyone who grieved with them, deserve a second trial that no court can ever take apart. Faddis lays out exactly what that requires, starting with the judge.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/7/26 | ![]() Why Does Blanca Simpson Believe Alex Murdaugh Had A Plan A And A Plan B? | Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson spent twenty years watching Alex Murdaugh use other people to do his work. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed four hundred thirty-seven checks totaling roughly $2.4 million. A network of enablers kept the financial machine running for years. Alex moved money through other people's hands. He used relationships as cover. He built deniability into every arrangement. He never did anything alone.So when the defense says "other suspects," Blanca doesn't flinch. She has her own theory — and it doesn't point away from Alex. She believes he had a Plan A that involved someone else being at Moselle that night. When that arrangement fell apart, he executed Plan B himself and built a story around the boat crash families. It's not a guess from the outside. It's a reading of behavior from twenty years inside the household — watching the visitors, the phone calls, the shifts in Alex's behavior in the months before Maggie and Paul were killed. If he never operated alone in any other part of his life, Blanca asks, why would the murders be the one exception?She also goes deeper into what she saw the morning after than she ever has before. Blanca walked into the Murdaugh house twelve hours after the killings and noticed things that didn't fit — items moved, cleaned, or wrong. Small details a forensic team would miss but a woman who knew every cabinet, every towel rack, every morning routine would catch in seconds. She testified for three hours in 2023. Prosecutors asked about the shirt, the towel, the pajamas. She says they barely scratched the surface.With the Supreme Court stripping away the financial crimes testimony, Blanca's granular knowledge of the household may carry more weight at retrial than it did the first time. She separates grief from scene management. She confronts the moment Alex came back months later and tried to rewrite the shirt story. She explains what the jury loses now that Moselle has been sold and torn apart — and what her memory of that property gives them that no photograph can replace.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/6/26 | ![]() What Did Blanca Say To Maggie Murdaugh At The Gravesite After The Reversal? | When the Supreme Court erased Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions, Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson didn't call anyone. She drove straight to Maggie's grave. Twenty years inside that household. Not staff — family. The person Maggie cried to when Alex's financial world was caving in and nobody would tell her why. Blanca fixed Alex's collar the morning of June 7th. She remembered the shirt. She found the wet towel by the shower the next day. She gave every detail to a jury that convicted in three hours. Then Becky Hill — a court clerk who was writing a book about the trial while it was still going on — destroyed the verdict.In her first interview since the reversal, Blanca talks about what she said to Maggie at that gravesite. Whether she can respect the Supreme Court's decision and still believe Alex killed his wife and son. What Becky Hill took from the people who loved Maggie and Paul — something no ruling can give back. And the question that matters most heading into a retrial: is she the same witness she was in 2023, or has three years of processing what she saw changed what she's ready to say?Then the harder conversation. If Alex Murdaugh didn't pull the trigger — who did? Jennifer Coffindaffer strips the name off the file and looks at what's left. Two people shot at the kennels. Two different guns. Neither recovered. No blood on Alex. The defense has always argued no single shooter could have done it the way the state described. Paul's boat crash — a young woman died — left a trail of grudges nobody fully investigated.Coffindaffer examines where the physical evidence actually points when you approach it clean, what the two-weapon theory means for the prosecution, and whether this case can hold together without the financial crimes testimony the Supreme Court stripped away. The conviction is gone. The question of who killed Maggie and Paul is wide open. Blanca's answer hasn't changed. Whether the evidence supports it is what the retrial will decide.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/4/26 | ![]() Why Is Murdaugh's Housekeeper The Witness Both Sides Should Fear In The Retrial? | The prosecution should fear Blanca Simpson because she knows things they never asked about — and three years of processing the case has given her clarity they might not be ready for. The defense should fear her because she spent twenty years watching Alex Murdaugh operate, and the version of events they're selling doesn't match the man she knew.Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson is not a neutral party and she's never pretended to be. She loved Maggie. She cared for Paul. She believes Alex killed them. She said it in her book and she's said it on camera. But she's also someone who respects the legal process enough to say publicly that the overturned conviction was the right decision — because Becky Hill's behavior behind closed doors was enough to compromise the trial, regardless of what the evidence showed.That combination — conviction about guilt paired with respect for the process — makes Blanca the most compelling witness in the retrial.This three-part exclusive covers the full scope of what Blanca carries. Part 1 is the emotional and personal impact of the overturned verdict — the drive to Maggie's grave, the competing truths, and the fear of going through it all again. Part 2 is the evidence — what she saw that morning that was never explored on the stand, what Alex's behavior revealed, and why her memory of Moselle matters more now that the property no longer exists. Part 3 is the hardest question: did Alex act alone? Blanca's theory about Plan A and Plan B, the defense team's competing narrative, and what she believes investigators still haven't examined.A three-part exclusive on the Alex Murdaugh channel.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/3/26 | ![]() If Murdaugh Never Did Anything Alone Before — Why Would The Murders Be Different? | Four hundred thirty-seven checks. Roughly two point four million dollars. All flowing from Alex Murdaugh to Curtis Eddie Smith over eight years. That's just one relationship in Alex's network. Add the law partners who didn't ask questions. The bankers who processed the transactions. The people who enabled the opioid pipeline. The man who agreed to shoot Alex on the side of the road for an insurance payout. Alex Murdaugh built an entire ecosystem of people who did things for him.Blanca Simpson watched that ecosystem operate from inside the household. She saw who had access. Who showed up at the properties. Who called and when. And she's reached a conclusion that she's now willing to talk about publicly: she doesn't believe the night of June 7th, 2021, was a solo operation.Blanca has laid out what she calls Plan A and Plan B. Plan A involved another person at Moselle that night. When that arrangement fell through, Alex moved to Plan B — carrying out the act himself and building a cover story around the boat crash families. She's grounded this theory in specific observations from her time inside the household, not in the kind of speculation that fills true crime forums.Now the defense is pointing in the opposite direction. They're claiming "third parties" too — but they mean someone else killed Maggie and Paul. Two competing theories using the same phrase, aimed at completely different conclusions.In this interview, Blanca walks through her theory, challenges the defense narrative head-on, and identifies what she believes investigators haven't examined closely enough in Alex's circle.Part 3 of a three-part exclusive on the Alex Murdaugh channel.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/2/26 | ![]() What Evidence From Inside The Murdaugh House Has Never Been Heard In Court? | The Supreme Court gave prosecutors a clear signal: scale back the financial crimes evidence. The first trial spent twelve and a half hours on stolen money, defrauded clients, and broken lives. The justices called it excessive and said the state could have made its case in a fraction of that time.That changes the entire architecture of round two. And it elevates one witness above almost every other: Blanca Simpson.Blanca didn't see the murders. She didn't process the crime scene. What she did was spend twenty years learning the exact rhythms of the Murdaugh household — and then walk through that house twelve hours after the killings and see, with clarity that no investigator could replicate, exactly what was wrong. Not wrong in the forensic sense. Wrong in the way only a person who'd been in that house every day for two decades would notice. The food stored differently. The pajamas folded by someone other than Maggie. The towel where it didn't belong. The shirt that no longer existed.In this interview, Blanca reveals what she noticed that nobody asked about at trial. She talks about what she'd tell a prosecutor who wanted to build a stronger behavioral case in round two. She walks through the morning Alex called her and asked her to clean the house "the way Maggie liked" and explains, with years of perspective, what that request really looked like. And she makes a case that her knowledge of Moselle — every room, every path, every door — is evidence that no photograph can replace now that the property has been sold.Part 2 of a three-part exclusive on the Alex Murdaugh channel.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/1/26 | ![]() Can Murdaugh's Housekeeper Believe He's Guilty And Still Respect The Court? | Blanca Simpson has said it publicly: she believes Alex Murdaugh killed Maggie and Paul. She wrote it in her book. She said it on camera. She reached that conclusion after years of processing what she saw inside that house — the wet towel, the folded pajamas, the shirt that vanished, the moment Alex tried to rewrite her memory months after the murders.And when the South Carolina Supreme Court unanimously threw out the conviction that her testimony helped secure, she said something that most people on either side of this case would never say: she respects the decision.That tension is the entire story. Blanca isn't a legal commentator trying to thread a needle for the cameras. She's a woman who lost her closest friend, who watched the man she believes is responsible get convicted in three hours, and who now has to reconcile the fact that a court clerk's misconduct was enough to undo all of it. Not the evidence. Not the testimony. One person's behavior behind closed doors.Blanca talks about the moment she heard the ruling and drove to Maggie's grave. The silence she sat in. The fear she wrote about in her book — that a retrial might come — that has now become real. And whether the Blanca Simpson who takes the stand in round two will be the same cautious, still-in-shock housekeeper the jury saw in 2023, or someone who has spent three years getting clearer about what she knows and what she's ready to say.Part 1 of a three-part exclusive on the Alex Murdaugh channel.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 6/1/26 | ![]() Will Maggie And Paul Murdaugh Ever Get Justice Now? | It's easy to forget, with all the legal noise, that this case has two victims with names: Maggie Murdaugh and her son Paul. They were killed at the family's dog kennels in June of 2021, and for the people who've followed this story closely, the news that Alex Murdaugh's convictions were overturned landed hard — because it means the question of who answers for their deaths is open all over again.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony Brueski to talk about where this leaves the people who loved Maggie and Paul. We talk honestly about what the Supreme Court actually decided — that a court clerk's conduct tainted the trial — and what it doesn't mean. Murdaugh hasn't been declared innocent. He's still in prison for stealing from his own clients. But a jury's verdict on the murders has been erased, and a new trial is coming.We talk about what a retrial asks of a family that already sat through six weeks of testimony once. About the long shadow this case has cast over a small South Carolina community. And about the hard truth that justice delayed, reopened, and relitigated takes a real toll on the people who just want it to be over.This one is for everyone who's kept Maggie and Paul in mind through all of it. They were a mother and a son. Whatever the courts decide next, they deserve to be remembered as more than the headline. Come sit with us.Footer Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 5/26/26 | ![]() Why Spend Millions Retrying Murdaugh If He's Already Locked Up Forever? | Alex Murdaugh is 57. He's serving 40 years federal. He's never getting out. So why spend millions on a retrial?Because Maggie Murdaugh was 52. Paul Murdaugh was 22. They were shot to death on their family's property. And right now, nobody stands convicted of killing them. The guilty verdicts are erased. The life sentences are vacated. Not because the evidence wasn't there — because an elected court clerk corrupted the process. A financial crimes sentence is not a murder conviction by proxy. Accepting it as one tells the families of Maggie and Paul that the question of who killed them doesn't matter enough to answer properly.Five days after the Supreme Court's unanimous reversal, Murdaugh's defense team sued Becky Hill in federal court. Seventeen pages. Section 1983. Six hundred thousand dollars in damages going to the receivership. Jim Griffin said the money isn't the point — the point is subpoena power, depositions, and dragging people under oath to answer what the state never asked. The Supreme Court ruled Hill put "her fingers on the scales of justice." The state prosecutor said there wasn't enough to charge her with jury tampering. Four months later, the Supreme Court said that's exactly what she did.Eric Faddis breaks down the lawsuit, what civil discovery gives the defense that the criminal process never did, and why Griffin stressed none of the money goes to Murdaugh personally. He explains what Section 1983 requires and whether the discovery could reveal Hill didn't act alone.Now the Attorney General is reportedly considering the death penalty. People Murdaugh stole from have said they'll testify again. The retrial isn't about adjusting a sentence he's already serving. It's about accountability for two people who were killed and a legal record that currently says nobody did it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 5/24/26 | ![]() Whose DNA Was Found Under Maggie Murdaugh's Fingernails? | Unknown male DNA was found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. It was never run through CODIS. Jim Griffin said it at the press conference like he'd been waiting to — physical evidence from the person who was fatally shot, collected by investigators, documented in the case file, and never matched through the federal database. The defense has plans for it. They're not hiding that.But untested DNA is only one piece. The defense laid out a list of alleged SLED failures that got buried under twelve hours of financial crimes testimony the first time. Tire tracks never processed. GPS data from Maggie's phone overwritten. A crime scene sitting in the rain while family members walked through it. A coroner who estimated time of death by touch. Every one of those gaps is now exposed because the Supreme Court stripped away the financial testimony that filled them.The retrial is going to be massive. Eight thousand pages of locked-in trial testimony gives the defense a built-in impeachment roadmap — every prosecution witness is stuck with what they said under oath the first time. New expert witnesses are being brought in. The defense doesn't expect the retrial before next year and says there will never be a plea deal.Venue is already contested. The defense is considering a change-of-venue motion, but the receiving county has to match Colleton's demographics. The death penalty threat from the Attorney General may have backfired — capital charges automatically trigger individual voir dire, which is exactly what Harpootlian wanted. The Becky Hill federal lawsuit gives the defense civil discovery tools to investigate whether she acted alone during the first trial.And the question that hung over the entire press conference: if Alex Murdaugh didn't do it, why is there no alternative theory after all these years? The defense says SLED destroyed the evidence trail. That's an answer. Whether it's enough is what the retrial will decide.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 5/24/26 | ![]() Did Someone Help Becky Hill Tamper With Alex Murdaugh's Jury? | Alex Murdaugh's defense team just filed a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill — and the point isn't money. It's answers. The Section 1983 civil rights claim alleges Hill deprived Murdaugh of a fair trial before an untampered jury. The Supreme Court already found her conduct warranted throwing out the conviction. Now the defense wants to use civil discovery — depositions, subpoenas, sworn testimony — to find out everything the state never bothered to investigate.Jim Griffin put it plainly at the press conference: was Becky Hill a lone wolf? Or did someone else know what was happening during those deliberations? The complaint flags the removal of juror Myra Crosby — the egg lady — as an incident that's never been adequately explained. The suit seeks more than six hundred thousand dollars in damages tied to the cost of the original trial. None of it goes to Murdaugh. Every dollar flows to the receivership.The defense argues the state never treated Hill's interference as the constitutional violation it was. Never followed the evidence wherever it led. This federal suit is built to go where the state wouldn't.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta and Robin Dreeke break down what the discovery process can actually force into the open — and whether what Hill did during that trial could have happened without anyone noticing.On the retrial side, the Supreme Court handed the defense a roadmap. The financial evidence firewall changes everything. The court expressed clear skepticism about twelve hours of stolen-money testimony, and the defense will fight to exclude every piece armed with the court's own words. Behind that wall, the physical case is thin: no DNA on Murdaugh, no blood, both weapons missing, no eyewitnesses, and a crime scene that was compromised from the start. Those gaps got buried the first time. They won't get buried again. The question now is whether Murdaugh takes the stand — the kennel video recording likely forces it — and whether that gamble plays differently when the jury hasn't spent weeks hearing about stolen money first.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 5/24/26 | ![]() What Lead Did SLED Ignore On The Day Maggie And Paul Were Killed? | The first jury had twelve hours of stolen-money testimony making Alex Murdaugh look like a desperate man capable of anything. The Supreme Court stripped that away. Now the case has to stand on what SLED actually found at Moselle — and what they didn't bother to chase.Blanca Simpson, the Murdaugh housekeeper, told investigators about a suspicious white vehicle parked near the property close to where Paul kept firearms on the day of the killings. She reported it that day. She later gave more specific details in private interviews than she ever shared on the stand. SLED reportedly dismissed the lead. Jennifer Coffindaffer ran federal cases for nearly three decades and she doesn't let that go. When a witness hands you a vehicle near weapon storage hours before a double homicide and nobody tracks it down, that's not a judgment call — that's ammunition for a defense attorney standing in front of a new jury.The crime scene sat in the rain. Family members walked through it. No weapon was ever recovered. No DNA connected the defendant to the killings. Coffindaffer and Robin Dreeke break down the two-shooter theory SLED couldn't rule out, the contradictions in Simpson's evolving accounts, and whether the kennel video lie still hits the same way without the financial crimes piled on top of it.Then the political side. Attorney General Alan Wilson reportedly said all options are on the table for the retrial — including the death penalty, which was never pursued the first time. Wilson is running for governor. Every AG candidate has reportedly promised to retry Alex Murdaugh. Dick Harpootlian reportedly told reporters the reversal will bring reluctant witnesses forward. Dreeke examines what happens when a retrial becomes a campaign platform and whether an untainted jury pool even exists anymore.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

| 5/23/26 | ![]() Did Buster Murdaugh Just Turn On Alex? | Buster Murdaugh sat behind his father every single day of that first trial. He took the stand and told a jury Alex wasn't capable of this. Then Alex got convicted — and Buster disappeared. Three years of barely any prison calls. A quiet marriage. A life built as far from the Murdaugh name as he could manage. Now the convictions have been reversed and the retrial is coming, and sources say Buster isn't grateful. He's reportedly furious. He allegedly called Alex a "selfish old man."That's the son who was supposed to be the defense's emotional anchor. If his loyalty has cracked, both sides know it changes everything. Jennifer Coffindaffer and Robin Dreeke break down what Buster's anger means for the retrial — and whether the prosecution can use it. Coffindaffer raises the question buried inside the State's own theory: if this was family annihilation, why is Buster still alive? Maggie wouldn't have believed a story about Paul's death if Buster were gone too. That hole sits right in the middle of the motive the State has to sell a second jury.Then there's the insurance scheme — Alex allegedly staging his own shooting so Buster could collect ten million dollars. A father's desperate love or a con man using his last remaining son as a prop? A jury can read it either way, and both readings cut deep.Eric Faddis breaks down what the Supreme Court's reversal actually changed for the retrial — the evidence limits, Alex's locked-in testimony, Becky Hill's criminal conviction, and the strategic choice both sides have to make before anything else. The question Faddis leaves on the table: which side would a former prosecutor rather be on walking into round two?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
