Alex Murdaugh’s Housekeeper of 20 Years Says He Never Did Anything Alone — Not Even This

For two decades, Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson watched Alex Murdaugh operate through other people. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed checks. Associates carried messages. Relationships provided cover. Deniability was built into every arrangement. Alex Murdaugh, according to the woman who knew the household better than anyone outside the family, never did anything alone. So when the defense walks into the retrial claiming “other suspects” committed the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, Blanca doesn’t flinch. She has her own theory about other people — and it doesn’t point away from Alex.Blanca believes Alex had a Plan A that involved someone else being at Moselle the night of the killings. When that arrangement fell apart, she says he executed it himself and constructed a story around the boat crash families. Her basis is twenty years of watching how this man solved problems: never with his own hands when someone else’s would do. She confronts the defense’s third-party strategy head-on and asks the question that should follow the defense into every courtroom session: if he never did anything alone before, why would this be the exception?Attorney Eric Bland adds the retrial dimension. He built the financial crimes case the prosecution leaned on as motive. The Supreme Court ordered that evidence sharply limited. Bland addresses what survives into the second trial, whether the prosecution overplayed what he helped expose, and what it means that the defense now has subpoena power for the first time. He predicts a high likelihood of reconviction but acknowledges a real chance of a hung jury — and identifies who the holdout juror is and what gets them there. The AG is floating the death penalty. Bland explains what that changes strategically and whether the defense’s claim of vindictive prosecution has legal legs.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
