Did Alex Murdaugh Get Convicted for Murder — or for Being a Monster? | 2025 True Crime

Alex Murdaugh’s name has become shorthand for corruption, greed, and generational deception. But does that make him a murderer? In this episode of Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski confronts the question few dare to ask: Did the jury convict Murdaugh for the murders of Maggie and Paul — or for the decades of betrayal that made him one of the most despised men in America? With no murder weapon, no direct forensic link, and no eyewitnesses, the prosecution leaned heavily on Murdaugh’s financial crimes to build a motive. Was that enough? Or did disgust do the rest?

Tony breaks down the real evidence — what actually points to guilt, what muddies the picture, and how stripping away the financial narrative forces us to reexamine the case on its raw merits. As the South Carolina Supreme Court weighs whether jury-tampering allegations against former clerk Becky Hill justify a new trial, this debate matters more than ever.

But to understand the full story, you have to go back to the moment the facade first cracked: the death of Gloria Satterfield. Long before the Moselle murders, Gloria — the beloved housekeeper who worked for the family for over 20 years — was found bleeding on the brick steps of the Murdaugh home. No autopsy. No investigation. Just an “accident” attributed to the dogs.

Years later, investigators discovered the truth: Alex orchestrated an insurance scam, encouraged Gloria’s sons to sue him, and stole every dollar of the $4 million settlement meant for them. Her death and his deception became the moral fault line that revealed the rot beneath the dynasty.

This episode examines whether the jury saw a murderer — or the collapse of a man who had deceived everyone for decades.
