The Re-Trial Of Alex Murdaugh

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
