Convicted murderer and accused serial fraudster Richard "Alex" Murdaugh is now admitting he bilked an insurance company out of millions after the death of his family's housekeeper and lied about dogs causing her to trip and fall before she died.

The admissions were contained in a filing Monday in a lawsuit brought by Nautilus Insurance Company against Murdaugh and others, alleging fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. The Scottsdale, Arizona, insurance agency provided a $5 million umbrella policy for Murdaugh that paid out claims after Gloria Satterfield's death in 2018.


In the filing, Murdaugh's lawyers say that when he learned that Satterfield had fallen down steps at his Moselle estate in South Carolina, he "rushed to the scene, arriving before EMS," and then fabricated a story about what caused the fall that eventually led to her death weeks later.

Murdaugh originally told insurance adjusters that Satterfield tripped over his dogs.

3. Well he's got life without parole

For two murder convictions, so “getting away with murder” in this case must be some nuanced metaphor I don’t grasp.
