Fox Nation heads to South Carolina to take a fresh look into the slayings of Alex Murdaugh’s wife and son near the family’s hunting lodge.<\/p>\n
Fox Nation went down to South Carolina to look into the mysterious murder saga surrounding the Murdaugh family. The special, “Murdaugh Murder Mystery A Nancy Grace Investigation,” was <\/strong>hosted by Nancy Grace, and aired Sunday evening. <\/p>\n “So far we can connect five dead bodies to the Murdaugh family,” Grace said. “Are those coincidental connections, or is there something more to it?” <\/p>\n “We don’t like coincidences \u2026 and those are too many,” a local woman told Grace in an interview. <\/p>\n In June, the son (Paul, 22) and wife (Maggie, 52) of legal tycoon Alex Murdaugh were found shot to death by the family’s hunting lodge in Colleton County. <\/p>\n In early September, Murdaugh said he was shot, and Alex received treatment for a gunshot wound that grazed his head. His defense attorney later said it was part of a life insurance plot for his son to collect $10 million. <\/p>\n Additionally, investigators are re-opening what they believe now is likely a hit-and-run that killed Stephen Smith, a 19-year-old local. At the time, authorities determine the death involved a vehicle. There was “no evidence to suggest the victim was struck by a vehicle,” the 2015 report said. However, police did not immediately reveal a connection, if any, that they found to the Murdaugh family. <\/p>\n In 2019, a boat owned by the Murdaughs was involved in a crash that killed 19-year-old Mallory Beach. Before he was killed on the family’s property, Paul was charged with driving under the influence in connection to the fatal crash involving his father’s boat. <\/p>\n Six people were on board at the time and received injuries that were not life-threatening. For example, one passenger, Connor Cook, broke his jaw in the crash. <\/p>\n While he was being deposed, Cook claimed that he did not immediately tell authorities who was driving because of “who they are.” <\/p>\n The Murdaugh family are a well-known family in South Carolina, and their legal dynasty goes back almost a century. For generations, the Murdaugh family were entrenched in high-level prosecutorial positions. <\/p>\n “Their name is not only revered but feared, depending on who you talk to,” Grace said in the special. “None of that matters to me at all.” <\/p>\n In another death in connection to the family, Alex Murdaugh’s housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, reportedly fell in the home and later died in a hospital. <\/p>\n On Thursday it was announced that the FBI would be getting involved in the murder case of Paul and Maggie after law enforcement requested them to intervene. <\/p>\n Fox Nation<\/strong> programs are viewable on-demand and from your mobile device app, but only for Fox Nation subscribers. <\/strong>Go to Fox Nation<\/strong> to start a free trial and watch the extensive library from your favorite Fox News personalities. <\/strong><\/p>\n
