A housekeeper for Alex Murdaugh testified today that the day after the double murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, that she was asked by Alex Murdaugh to clean the house. Blanca Simpson revealed that when she went to the house several “very unusual” things stood out to her. They included food pots being in the fridge instead of left out for her to clean and Maggie Murdaugh's pajamas and underwear stacked neatly in the doorway of the laundry room. Simpson said first that Maggie Murdaugh did not wear underwear with her pajamas and she also usually left pots and pans out for Simpson to clean. Simpson then dropped a bombshell. She said when she went into the shower she noticed a small puddle of water, a tower,l and a pair of khaki pants which she washed. Ms. Simpson says she has never seen those khakis or the seafoam-colored shirt Murdaugh was wearing the night of the murders, or his house shoes ever again after that day.

A bomb threat halted testimony today in Alex Murdaugh's double murder trial. The courthouse was evacuated. Testimony resumed at 2:30 p.m. and ended early at 4:30 p.m. Court resumes tomorrow morning. During the two hours of afternoon testimony, FBI electronics engineer Dwight Falkofske discussed his analysis of the computer data on Murdaugh's 2021 Chevrolet Suburban. Every time Murdaugh put his car in park on the night of the murders, it was recorded. The data appeared to suggest that Alex had only visited his mother for about 20 minutes that night. That is shorter than the amount of time Murdaugh told investigators.

Bombshells in the courtroom today as the judge in Alex Murdaugh’s double murder trial rules that the state may present evidence of the now-disbarred South Carolina attorney’s alleged financial crimes. The prosecution contends that the fact that these crimes were about to be revealed provided Murdaugh with a motive for murder. Also heard in court today was testimony surrounding the "blue tarp" found on the second floor of Alex Murdaugh's mother's home. That blue tarp, under testing, showed gun residue. According to Shelly Smith, a caregiver for Murdaugh's mother, Alex came by one week after the murders carrying a balled-up blue tarp. It appeared to have something inside it.

Both emotional and technical testimony today in Alex Murdaugh's murder trial. The day started with Alex Murdaugh's defense lawyer grilling ballistics expert Paul Greer Greer testified older shell casings found on the Murdaugh's estate and those found near Maggie Murdaugh's body were shot by the same weapon.

Alex Murdaugh's former best friend, Chris Wilson, shed tears as he recounted how Alex Murdaugh asked for money as allegations of financial crimes came to light.

The chief financial officer of Alex Murdaugh’s former law firm took the stand today, testifying that she confronted Alex about missing money the same day his wife and son were killed. Jeanne Seckinger told the court that she and Alex discussed structured settlements regarding the boat crash involving Paul. Alex reportedly sent those funds to Forge Consulting and was putting money in his wife’s name. Alex allegedly said he was sending the money to Forge as a favor to a friend, Michael Gunn, who was a top employee there. In February 2019, Paul reportedly crashed his boat into Archer’s Creek Bridge killing Mallory Beach. The teen was ejected from the boat; five other people aboard were injured. Paul was charged with felony boating under the influence. Also, did Alex Murdaugh change clothes before police arrived at Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's murder scene? Paul Murdaugh's video shows his father in long pants and a colored shirt. The video of Murdaugh's statement with police shows him in shorts and a white t-shirt.

Five words are a major focus at Alex Murdaugh's murder trial. During a recorded conversation with investigators three days after the killings, the police body cam footage shows Murdaugh saying, “It’s just so bad. I did him so bad." He’s such a good boy, too.” Many are claiming this is a possible slip-up, a statement of guilt in the death of his son. Defense attorneys however pushed a SLED agent to say that it was possible that Murdaugh said "they" not "I," but the agent did not waver from his original assessment. Prosecutors went through the bullet evidence in detail looking at each casing, giving its caliber and recovery location. Also discussed in court today were phone records of the victims and how they were tied to the timelines of their deaths.

61-year-old ex con Henry Tenon has been arrested and charged in the death of Jared Bridegan. Tennon has been charged with conspiracy to commit murder, accessory after the fact to a capital felony, child abuse and second-degree murder. The child abuse charge comes as Bridegan's 2-year-daughter is in the car when he was shot. The conspiracy charge means more arrests are expected, but the documents related to the arrest are sealed. An investigation shows that Tennon once lived in a home owned by ex-wife Shanna Gardner-Fernandez's new husband Mario Fernandez. The night the 33-year-old Microsoft executive was shot, he drops his twins off at the home of his ex-wife, Shanna Gardner-Fernandez. Bridegan is with his 2-year-daughter as he drives home. On their way home, Bridegan stops to remove a tire from the middle of the road. There's no room to drive around it. That's when the Microsoft executive is shot and killed by an unknown assailant. The little girl, Bexley, is reportedly in the car for several minutes as her father dies. Bridegan has been in lengthy custody and alimony disputes with his former wife and reportedly she has now hired a high-powered criminal defense attorney. The investigation continues.

That is when Brooks is hit by the car. That driver showed no signs or evidence of being impaired. The four men who left with Brooks have been arrested.

Dramatic opening statements from both the prosecution and defense in the Alex Murdaugh murder trial as both attorneys laid out different versions of the same story. Prosecutors say forensics will prove Murdaugh, 54, killed his wife and son. Defense attorney Dick Harpootlian says however that there is no forensic evidence to tie Murdoch to the murders. Harpootlian suggested that the crime may have been the work of two people because of two different weapons. The rifle that killed Maggie Murdaugh has not been found. Murdaugh could be seen visually emotional as his attorney laid out in graphic detail the injuries Maggie and Paul Murdaugh suffered. Maggie Murdaugh, defense attorney Dick Harpootlian said, died running for her life, and Paul Murdaugh's brain was blown out of his skull.

Jury selection continues Alex Murdaugh murder trial with opening statements expected later in the day. Over the past two days, motions have been filed by the defense asking the judge to not allow some evidence be presented, including ballistics and some of the state's expert witness testimony. The judge ruled that a ballistics expert, a SLED agent, was credible. Another point of contention, blood spatter evidence. The defense says the white t-shirt worn by Murdaugh, which the state says has blood spatter on it, has been damaged by testing so that defense experts cannot conduct their own tests. Both prosecutors and the defense agreed not to bring up the blood spatter evidence during opening arguments.

Before the start of jury selection in the murder trial of former Lowcountry attorney Alex Murdaugh, his defense team had already filed a motion seeking to block testimony on potential blood evidence. Jury selection continues in Alex Murdaugh's murder trial. He's accused of shooting his wife, Maggie, and youngest son, Paul. More than 900 potential jurors were called and then divided up into panels. 32 jurors qualified from the first group. After the other groups are polled, the actual jurors and alternates would be selected from the parred-down pool. Blood spatter evidence is also being discussed by the lawyers and the judge. Defense attorneys have filed a motion to block testimony on potential blood evidence. Murdaugh was wearing a white t-shirt when he arrived at the property. Murdaugh’s defense team argues that their expert, after reviewing a report and analysis from a prosecution witness, said he could not form an opinion on whether the blood stains on Murdaugh’s shirt were consistent with back spatter from a gunshot.

Actor Alec Baldwin has been charged with involuntary manslaughter by New Mexico prosecutors related to the death of in connection with cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The shooting on set during the production of the film, "Rust." Baldwin was allegedly four feet from the crew on set in a mock church pew when he used his right hand to reach across his body to grab the gun holstered on his left side. He was reportedly aiming the gun toward cinematographer Halyna Hutchins when he drew back the hammer and released it. The bullet first went through director Joel Souza’s shoulder before striking Hutchins in the chest, killing her. Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed is also charged. Reed is facing criminal charges for allegedly loading the gun before handing it off to an assistant director, who then gave the gun to Baldwin before rehearsal. Reports indicate crew members used the gun on the day of the shooting for target practice — and had used live rounds to shoot at beer cans to pass time on set.

The McConney family decides to take a Christmas vacation. It was a welcome break after the troubling situation the family found themselves in. Weeks before Christmas, Heather McConney opened her son’s phone, stumbling on disturbing conversations. 13-year-old Evan McConney had been communicating with a stranger through the online game Roblox. The two also reportedly communicated through Oculus, a virtual reality device. The parents then made all the right steps. They took away Evans’ devices and turned them over to Layton police. The McConney family returned home from vacation on Monday. When the family woke up, Tuesday morning Evan was gone. An investigation revealed Evan McConney and his online “friend” had been exchanging “sexual and inappropriate” messages for about three weeks. While Evan’s mom had taken steps to end the contact, the two reportedly found new ways to talk. Evan McConney joined a Discord chat at his new friend’s invitation. It was through those chats that the two allegedly arranged to have McConney picked up from his home. Evan even took his passport with him, after his new friend encouraged him. The "friend" is Aaron Zemen...a 26-year-old man, living in Arizona. Zemen has several social media accounts revealing his admitted dog fetish and that he is a furry. A furry is a person who is an enthusiast for animal characters with human characteristics. Many of Zeman’s Twitter accounts are dedicated to his furry and puppy play fetish and contain photographs of his genitals and dog fetish clothing. Zeman had been using these accounts to tweet the 13-year-old.
