Summary
Maggie Murdaugh’s pajamas were laid out in the laundry room doorway when Blanca Simpson walked into the house twelve hours after the murders. Underclothes were set out with them. Blanca knew immediately — Maggie never wore underclothes to bed. In fifteen years of cleaning that home, washing those clothes, knowing that routine inside and out, Blanca says she recognized the setup for what it was. Someone who didn’t know Maggie’s habits tried to make the scene look normal and got it wrong.
In this segment of her interview with Tony Brueski, Blanca walks through everything she noticed that morning. Pots in the refrigerator with lids on, something completely out of character for anyone in the household. Maggie’s Mercedes parked in a spot she’d never use, as if someone unfamiliar with the routine had moved it. One of Maggie’s three wedding bands under the driver’s seat — Blanca says if Maggie removed one ring, she removed all three, and she always placed them in the same spots. A beach towel from the laundry room found inside Alex’s Suburban, which told Blanca he had been in the room where the pajamas were staged and where the shirt in question came from.
Then Alex arrived at the guest house, pacing and disheveled, and asked Blanca to confirm he’d been wearing a specific Vineyard Vines shirt. She knew that wasn’t what he had on. She didn’t know he’d just returned from a SLED interview.
Blanca also describes a white truck and a tractor with a digging bucket on the property the day of the murders — details she says SLED showed no interest in when she tried to report them. An investigator allegedly told her to stop obsessing and get professional help.
