Mysterious Death of Alex Murdaugh’s Housekeeper Gloria Satterfield - Everything We Know

Alex Murdaugh’s housekeeper Gloria Satterfield died after allegedly falling at the disgraced lawyer’s South Carolina home in 2018. Although the death was ruled an accident, law enforcement reopened the investigation into Satterfield’s mysterious death in September 2021, following the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Investigators announced their intentions to exhume the body of Satterfield in June 2022, one month before Murdaugh was indicted for the murders of his wife and son. Are the Murdaugh murders connected to the death of Satterfield? The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy discusses everything we know so far with Eric Bland, an attorney for the Satterfield family.

the fact that they were so cold on the 911 call, showing obvious disdain and lack of compassion for someone so close to their family, and then for Alec to take advantage of Gloria’s family. this man is sick. this whole family is deranged and selfish. so much careless behavior by their sons and self-serving actions by grown adults. it’s horrifying.

[@brianneEVE]

I do feel like I hear concern in Paul’s voice. He was rude to the dispatcher which isn’t cool but I do believe he was concerned about someone getting to her ASAP. I heard that he was very close to her.

[@Ziggy1967]

Paul was acting like most families or friends. They don’t understand that once you call 911 . They are dispatched and on the way. The questions that they continue to ask is to inform the crew that are on the way . Most people think EMS or whoever is not on the way until you hang up the phone . Which is not the case . Once she told him that they were on their way. And him still giving her more info . Does not impede or slow emergency traffic that’s coming. He seamed to calm down a little and answered her questions.

[@sec2no153]

I am so proud of Gloria's son Tony for standing up and speaking out publicly for being lied to, cheated and stolen from their own mothers life monetary value according to Alex Murdoch. Realizing how very little their mother actually meant to this family and letting the world know that too took a lot of courage and IMO that young man is more of a man then any of those people his mama took care of.

[@daniellehester8127]

Beautifully put.

[@maryj2671]

Maggie was maybe protecting Alex or Paul ,but she was sounding heartless about the fall on 911. come on you had her working for you for 20 years. Caring for your sons and you don't know how old she is? you just didn't want bothered. How sad! Maggie was no angel! and the rest of them heartless too!

[@debbiemartin2026]

The family is probably reformed baptist, because they believe in the sovereignty of God and believe this happened for a reason (an attorney stated the family has said this so I’m not making it up). In the end, God does allow things in life, and it’s a very hard pill to swallow. I’ve wrestled with mans actions/versus Gods sovereignty for decades bc it makes God seem unfair, and even cruel. Mans choices plus Gods sovereignty work to accomplish his plans. It doesnt in any way excuse mans decisions…Romans 8:28 explains it better. But the family seem to have tremendous faith in this. Im thinking that Gloria, being a solid Christian may have had discernment to figure out things she may have overheard, found , etc and may have been trying to witness to this family since the boating accident. Only her kids could tell us that.

[@Anna-iz1tt]

@@maryj2671 Well consider that Buster did not know his own father's birth date while on the stand and Alex did not really know son Paul's birth date the night of the murders while being questioned by police.

She knew some things and her physical death was not an accident. I'm sure she knew a LOT of things, because that family totally would treat her like 'just a housekeeper' and she probably overheard quite a lot from all of them at various times, and from various people, about various things...some most assuredly illegal stuff in there. Alex or one of them figured out or came across her someplace they didn't know she was, and figured she heard something and whoever it was, needed it to be not heard. Either way, I'm betting the 'problem' was brought to Alex and he fixed it. NO WAY after 20 years, the dogs and she did not know each other enough to know the routine and expectations of each other. No freaking way that was accidental and ooops look at that....she fell and eventually died from it...and just when so much was building up all simultaneously. What a coincidence. NOT.

Alex supposedly wasn't present at the property but like in all other nefarious cases involving him and his family, he swooped in less than an hour later of the "fall" and swiftly sorted all legal matters out, and to his own benefit as is customary to the murdaughRERs. To have one suspicious death surrounding you is incredibly rare, so to have 5 suspicious deaths surrounding you including the highly suspicious death of quadriplegic Hakim Pinkney who's breathing tube from his ventilator suspiciously became unconnected resulting in his suffocation to which Alex profited from the 1.1 million dollars he stole from Pinkneys surviving family members, so the the odds of 5 suspicious deaths is unfathomable. I don't believe in coincidences, but just how many coinkydinks before its mathematically impossible to be a coinkydink anymore?

That was because Alex himself make the claim instead of the boys making it. Alex told Tony Shutterfeild that it's easier if he makes it because he's a lawyer and know how things work. Normally, the victim's family would make the claim to the insurance company, but Alex cleverly told Tony he would make it, so then he gets the money directly.

He had reached his limit stealing from his law firm and decided he would use his skills as a injury lawyer to benefit himself so he bought some insurance on his house that would cover said incident and then waited a few months mean while he was planning this whole thing and possibly recruited his wife to help him execute the plan.
