The South Carolina Supreme Court stripped away twelve and a half hours of financial crimes testimony. What fills that gap at retrial may depend on the kind of evidence that didn't get its full day in court the first time — and Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson has had three years to sit with what she saw versus what prosecutors actually asked her about.
She testified for three hours in 2023. The jury heard about the shirt, the towel, the pajamas. But Blanca knew that household in a way no investigator could replicate. Which cabinets Maggie used. Where the towels went. What the morning routine looked like. When she walked into the house twelve hours after the murders, she saw things that didn't fit — small domestic details a forensic team would walk past but a woman who'd been there every day for twenty years would catch immediately.
In this exclusive, Blanca reveals what she noticed that nobody asked about on the stand. She walks through the morning after — Alex's phone call, the condition of the house, the things that were moved, cleaned, or wrong — and draws the line between grief and scene management. She confronts the moment Alex returned months later to rewrite the shirt story. And she addresses what a jury loses now that Moselle has been sold and broken apart — what her memory of that property can give a second jury that photographs alone cannot.
Blanca also presents her own theory of the crime — and it directly challenges the defense team's "other suspects" strategy. She believes Alex had a Plan A involving someone else at Moselle that night. When that plan collapsed, he executed Plan B himself and constructed a narrative around the boat crash families. Her basis isn't speculation. It's twenty years of watching Alex Murdaugh operate — how he moved money through other people's hands, how he used relationships as cover, how Curtis Eddie Smith cashed four hundred thirty-seven checks totaling roughly $2.4 million. Alex built an infrastructure of people who did things for him. If he never operated alone in any other part of his life, Blanca asks, why would the murders be the one exception?
