In June 2021, just three years ago, Maggie Murdaugh and her son Paul were shot and killed at the Murdaugh family property in South Carolina. Husband and father Alex Murdaugh is currently serving two life sentences for their murder. Their deaths were the last in a long line of murders associated with the Murdaugh family. At the time of his death Paul was facing investigation for the death of fellow teenaged Mallory Beach in a boating accident and the deaths of housekeeper Gloria Satterfield and teenager Stephen Smith were also closely associated with the family. This is about what happens when a man goes further than killing his whole family. 

This is the Part One of the story of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, Mallory Beach, Stephen Smith and Gloria Satterfield.
