One-after-another developments in the Alex Murdaugh case in Hampton County, South Carolina, have captured the attention of a worldwide audience this week.

Murdaugh and a Walterboro man, who lawyers allege was Murdaugh’s drug dealer, have been accused of plotting to kill Murdaugh Sept. 4 so his elder son could collect on a $10 million insurance policy.

Murdaugh’s wife and younger son were shot to death on their rural Islandton property June 7. The investigation that followed now includes multiple cases, including one looking into the claim that millions are missing from the family’s law firm.
