The 19-year-old suffered blunt force trauma to the head. And his death was at first ruled a hit-and-run. But the victim’s family believes it was murder. And the Murdaugh name has been featured in several tips to the police.
Another investigation was reopened into a mystery death connected to the Murdaugh family. Their longtime housekeeper Gloria Satterfield died in 2018 in a trip and fall accident at the Murdaugh family home.
Murdaugh then allegedly stole around $4m from the Satterfield sons in a wrongful death settlement.
