ABC’s news program 20/20 is set to release a special report on the trial of Alex Murdaugh, a former South Carolina lawyer who is facing charges related to a murder-for-hire plot and insurance fraud. The report is set to air on both ABC and Hulu, giving viewers the opportunity to watch the in-depth coverage from wherever they are located.
The special report will cover the entire story of Alex Murdaugh, who is suspected of murdering Paul Murdaugh, his son, and Maggie Murdaugh, his wife. The Murdaughs, who are among the most influential families in South Carolina, made news in 2019 after Paul was engaged in a boating accident that tragically took the life of Mallory Beach, a 19-year-old. Since then, a number of strange incidents have come to light, including allegations that Alex may have stolen money intended for the family of his housekeeper Gloria Satterfield, who passed away after tripping and falling on the Murdaugh property. He is also suspected for an alleged assisted-suicide plot that Alex claims he orchestrated so his survivor son could receive millions in life insurance.
However, as the investigation into the murders and the attack continued, it was discovered that Murdaugh had been involved in insurance fraud, leading to his arrest and charges related to a murder-for-hire plot.
As Alex’s murder trial comes to a close, the jury will need to decide whether or not he murdered his family in order to divert attention from his growing list of financial misdeeds, which included stealing millions of dollars from his legal clients, friends, and coworkers.
