About this episode
“I would be devastated!” Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson has a lot of opinions about Alex Murdaugh’s appeal to overturn his double murder conviction. She was one of the family’s housekeepers for years. The South Carolina State Supreme Court heard oral arguments from both the defense and prosecution on February 11th, 2026. While the Justices mull over their decisions, Blanca isn’t backing down from believing Alex killed his wife and son and that he had help cleaning the scene.
In this episode, she goes even further as to why she believes someone was there when Alex returned to the kennels at Moselle the night of June 7, 2021. She says people need to pay attention to the kennel video and asks what are the dogs telling us. Blanca has fiercely defended her friend Maggie and Paul Murdaugh when people have questioned her about their character and only wants justice for Alex’s victims. Senior Investigative Reporter Anne Emerson asks Blanca if there was a new trial—would she testify. And what, if anything, might she do differently if called to the stand.
