it had to be somebody he knew to put his body like he was walking home. i mean, my heart goes out to her. it s just hard to believe. it s been seven years and stephen s case is still unsolved. his mother s attorney has yet to bring a case against the murdaugh family. there s no fact that i can point to other than talk, rumors, speculation and the connection of s.l.e.d. reopening the case at moselle. there s nothing connected to the murdaughs. and i ll tell you one other thing. there are people right now in hampton who know what happened. and they need to come forward. sandy lost her son but she is also lost her own community. because people were just turning their backs saying, we can t say anything.
you know, and that s how i met them. and stephen went to school with buster. buster is alex murdaugh s eldest son. the stephen smith case was reopened by s.l.e.d. as a result of something that was found at the double murder scene for maggie and paul murdaugh. so stephen died. and he was found july 7th of 2015. rumors were everywhere. everywhere. this is a small county. it s impossible that people didn t know what happened. people talk. what the talk has always been was that stephen had some sort of a relationship with a murdaugh. and that was going to get out. so they took him out? think how courageous stephen was. you re talking about a young man who is homosexual, who isn t hiding it, is very proud of who he is. you re talking about a small
and i didn t get that until 2021. and that is so odd to me. usually you can always get an incident report. so you were suspicious? very suspicious. everything was suspicious. we had good sources in law enforcement. and they told us, you know, the fix is in already. in the incident report, law enforcement did not specify who was driving the boat. joe mccullough represents connor cook, one of the surviving passengers. as a prosecutor, i have seen done in every dui case, every felony dui and boating under the influence cases, it s law enforcement 101, police academy cases. you separate the people. you figure out who was driving. you stand them up. do the field sobriety exercises. none of that occurred in this case. and now we know there is missing evidence. directly after the boat crash, the passengers were transported to the hospital.
ginger doesn t believe alex murdaugh killed her sister, but he is liable for another nefarious act in connection with her death. you discovered this insurance document related to the gloria satterfield case. at some point. i remember turning to liz and being like, a curse word or two. my god, whoa. and there was a settlement. alex murdaugh along with another attorney had devised a scheme to sue his insurance company for the death of gloria satterfield, promising to give the money to gloria s two surviving sons. the sons never saw what totaled to be $4.3 million. my name is tony, one of gloria s younger sons. so when you think about your sister gloria s loyalty to the murdaugh family and to alex murdaugh and now you know he defrauded her sons of $4.3
and in jail on a $7 million bond. his first trial, the double murder of maggie and paul, is set for january of 2023. mr. murdoch pleads he is innocent. reporter: alex murdoch s lawyer, some of the most prominent in the state. we believe that the killer or killers are still at large and put this behind him and go after the real killers. mr. murdoch, did you kill your wife and son? if you didn t do it, who did? i m nervous that they re going to try this murder case first. it s a circumstantial evidence case, and he is an excellent lawyer. all he has to do is flip one juror who is going to say he s not guilty and it s a hung jury. alex murdoch s lawyers decline to participate in an interview, but they did release a statement to cnn, saying in part alex is looking forward to his day in court, and we are
