Was the Nancy Guthrie Crime Staged to Look More Sophisticated Than It Actually Was?
The doorbell camera was allegedly concealed with foliage. The ransom demands referenced Bitcoin. The scene had the surface-level appearance of someone who planned ahead. But retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer says the behavioral evidence may tell a different story. The foliage was allegedly ripped from Nancy Guthrie's own yard. The visor and gloves allegedly didn't fit properly. Th...

Who’s Mystery White Truck Was at the Murdaugh Property the Day of the Murders
There was a white Ford F-150 at the Murdaugh property on the day of the murders. Blanca Simpson saw it from inside the house and assumed it was Paul’s. She didn’t think twice about it — Maggie had told her Alex asked Paul to come home. It wasn’t until later that Blanca learned Paul’s truck was in the shop. That truck has never been publicly identified. In this segment of her interview with Ton...

Inside the $30 Million Judgement That May Have Created A Killer Out Of Alex Murdaugh
