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.
