Summary

Alex Murdaugh walked into the guest house pacing, shirt half untucked, rubbing his stomach in circles, holding a spit cup in one hand. He told Blanca Simpson to sit down. Then he asked her a question: do you remember what I was wearing that day? The Vineyard Vines shirt? She sat there and listened. In the back of her mind, she knew that wasn’t what he was wearing. She didn’t know he’d just come from a SLED interview. She didn’t know investigators were already looking at him.

In this segment of her interview with Tony Brueski, Blanca details the hours after the Murdaugh murders from inside the family’s orbit. She walked into the Moselle house twelve hours after Maggie and Paul were found dead and immediately started noticing things that were wrong. Pajamas set out with underclothes Maggie never wore to bed. Pots in the refrigerator with lids on — something no one in that family would do. Maggie’s car parked in a spot she’d never park it. One wedding band out of three, found under the driver’s seat of the Mercedes.

Then came the beach towel in Alex’s Suburban — the detail Blanca calls her biggest clue. That towel came from the laundry room. The same room where the pajamas were staged. The same room where the shirt Alex was asking about would have been. Blanca called her husband after the conversation. He told her it didn’t sound right.

She also reveals a white Ford F-150 at the property on the day of the murders that she assumed was Paul’s — until she learned Paul’s truck was in the shop. And a tractor with a digging bucket heading toward the back fields. She believes someone was preparing a location to hide evidence. When she tried to share these observations with SLED, they allegedly told her to get professional help.
