When Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson learned that Alex Murdaugh’s convictions for the murder of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, were overturned, she immediately went to Maggie\u2019s gravesite. She needed to sit in silence at the resting place for one of her closest friends.<\/p>\n
Our Criminally Obsessed host, investigative reporter Anne Emerson, spent six weeks reporting on the original murder trial back in 2023. She brings her extensive depth of knowledge on this case to our exclusive interview with Blanca for an honest look at the emotional impact of a new trial.<\/p>\n
Blanca was a witness in the original trial. She testified for three hours, but this time– it could be much different. Will she become a star witness with her intimate knowledge about the Murdaugh family, their 1700 acre property, Moselle, and the moments leading up to and after the murders. She\u2019s shared a lot with us about what she saw, what she believes, and questions she still has – and trust us, there\u2019s more to come.<\/p>\n
