Murdaugh Murders Podcast - MMP Remastered #12 - What Happened to Gloria Satterfield? Part Two

Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Alec Murdoch. I need police in an ambulance immediately. Murdoch, Death in the Family Official Podcast, is here. I'm joining Patricia Arquette, Jason Clark, and the cast to uncover all things Murdoch. Family first. To unravel the story piece by piece was really surprising because you don't want to believe it.

Starting point is 00:00:29 Terms apply. Hello, David here again, and I hope you're liking how we're revisiting these moments from years ago as we re-release these MMP episodes that put Just as first and our podcast at the top of global charts. Mandy might agree that Eric came into our world like a lightning bolt. From that first phone call you heard in the last re-release to this one, you can feel that energy, this mix of outrage, precision, and purpose. He wasn't just a lawyer chasing a case, he was a man who'd been waiting for a moment to challenge the entire good old boy's system that had been protecting people like Alec Murdoch for generations. As a producer, it was thrilling and a little chaotic to work with someone like that because every time Eric's folk, you could feel the moral charge in his words, and also that has an effect on loudness and volume levels, which we have to adjust in post. Also, Eric and Mandy would speak on background

Starting point is 00:01:39 for hours and hours at night as they peeled back the onion of the Satterfield thefts. He'd rattle off legal strategy and then drop a one-liner that made you realize he was speaking to the public conscience. Eric brought the same kind of energy to the mic that made, Mandy brings to her reporting. Raw, righteous, and unfiltered. That chemistry is what gave episode 12 its heartbeat. Honestly, it was pure chaos. We were planning our wedding while juggling one of the most internationally sensational true crime stories that modern journalism has seen in years. We took phone calls from everyone under the sun who wanted to latch on to this story, sneak past Mandy, under her, undermine her, make promises and then betray her.

Starting point is 00:02:30 It was truly awful at times. Between the murders, Alex fake roadside shooting and the legal bombshells in the Satterfield case, it felt like every day brought a new headline we had to verify and respond to in real time. Mandy was working 20 hours a day, fielding calls from sources and law enforcement, and I was trying to keep the production train on the track. editing, coordinating sponsors to make it worthwhile, and keeping her as relaxed and safe as I possibly could, considering the threats we had received. In truth, we were fighting burnout and fear. Still, there was this sense of purpose. We knew we were uncovering something horrific, and that helped us push through

Starting point is 00:03:14 the exhaustion. Mandy faced a number of threats to her physical safety, not always overt, but it was clear that certain people wanted her to stop digging. There were messages from, quote, concerned locals, phone calls that came at odd hours, and whispers that she should, quote, be careful. Some of it was subtle intimidation, gaslighting from people connected to the Murdoch orbit who tried to discredit her. Others tried to isolate her professionally, questioning her motives or accusing her of bias and a variety of other things I won't mention here.

Starting point is 00:03:49 And as much as I'd like to say Mandy was fearless, I'd be lying if I said it did not take a toll. On her, on us, on me, on our friends, on our family. We took security precautions, changed some routines, and leaned on each other constantly. But if anything, the intimidation only confirmed how deep the rot went. That pressure hardened her resolve, and it sharpened the storytelling. And thanks to millions of fans at this point cheering us on, we knew that we had to keep going. Episode 12 captures that turning point where fear met defiance. And journalism became personal for Mandy, for me, and for the world who was tuning in.

Starting point is 00:04:38 So here's our 12th installment of this remastered podcast series. What Happened to Gloria Satterfield, Part 2. I don't know if anyone killed Gloria Satterfield, but after attorneys Eric Bland and Ronald Richter uncovered a paper trail showing what Elyke Murdoch and Corey Fleming did in the aftermath of her death, I am absolutely disgusted. And I want to know how many people will be held to account for this despicable scheme. My name is Mandy Matney, and I've been investigating the Murdoch family for more than two years now. This is the My Mardock Murder's Podcast.

Starting point is 00:05:31 I want to take a moment and say thank you to all the people who are supporting me out there. To our advertisers like Ross and Pines, Lauren Taylor Law, Nectar Farm Kitchen, the Bannins, and all of the Mimosa Donators, those who take to Twitter with some sense of of moral compass, to my incredible sources for being on the right side of the story and sticking with me throughout all of this and believing in my mission to expose the truth wherever it leads. Thank you. I also want to share how much I appreciate my future husband, David, for helping me through the stress of making this podcast and handling the advertising, producing, and making sure that we're on the right track. For the last few months,

Starting point is 00:06:14 David has been so busy planning a charity event called Polo for Heroes in Bluffton, South Carolina, which you might have heard ads for already. It raises money for two awesome charities, the Low Country Foundation for Wounded Military Heroes and the 200 Club of the Coastal Empire. I am very proud of how much he cares for these groups, and I care for them as well. I want to ask you to check out polo for heroes.com. Please look at the online auction page and bid on something or make a donation. There's also a really fun auction item. I can't believe we're doing this, but you can bid on a lunch with David and I. And yes, you can ask as many questions about the Murdoch murders and this case as you want to during that lunch.

Starting point is 00:07:02 And the lunch can also be virtual. These charities are making life easier for veterans and provide 100% tuition to the family, of first responders who die in the line of duty. During my 10 years of journalism, I have worked with so many veterans, police officers, and first responders, and I have so much respect for what they do every day to protect the rest of us.

Starting point is 00:07:26 So please, please, please. If you want to give money this week, you guys are so great, please head to polo4heroes.com and help in any way that you can. Go to Polo for Heroes. the number four heroes.com. We're back to Gloria Satterfield on this episode, and we'll give you a quick recap.

Starting point is 00:07:52 Previously on the Murdoch murders. On September 15th, 2021, Eric Bland and his law partner, Ronald Richter, filed a lawsuit alleging civil conspiracy and stolen funds and connections with the 2018 Gloria Satterfield settlement. Gloria dies February 26. 2018 after falling February 2nd, 2018. At the funeral, Alex says to the aunts, uncles, and the kids, I'm going to take you to go see a lawyer,

Starting point is 00:08:23 and that lawyer I know is going to bring a claim against me because I am going to admit that I was negligent, responsible for your mother's death, because my dogs tripped her and she fell down the stairs. And he's going to bring a wrongful death claim, and I'm going to turn it over to my insurance carriers. and then I'm going to tell them I'm at fault, and you guys are going to get money as a result of your mother's death.

Starting point is 00:08:46 But you can't tell anybody that I'm kind of organized in this because I can get in trouble. Two months goes by. Obviously, the boating accident happened in February of 2019. March, they have a mediation, and they settle with a mediator from Charleston named John Austin, and Corey's representing the estate, and obviously Alex is the defendant.

Starting point is 00:09:08 And they go for the mediator, and they compromise it. whatever, and they agree. The total claims are going to settle for $4,305,000. So what happened? The check went straight to Corey Fleming. How did Alec end up with the money? Alec told Corey, now Alex is the defendant. We're going to do a structure. We're going to buy an annuity for these kids through a company called Forge Consultants in Atlanta. The only problem is, Corey never got any documents from Forge and he's taking direction from the defense who tells him after you take your fees, write the check to Forge and send it to a PO box in Hampton, South

Starting point is 00:09:54 Carolina. So the check is made out to Forge. Alec Murdoch gives him a PO box where it's said to. The check goes in the PO box. Alec Murdoch opened up a bank account at Bank of America under the name of Forge. Got the check, cashed it. And that brings us to now. This is October 9th, 2021. This week has been nonstop development in the Gloria Satterfield case. Attorney Eric Bland and I are going to walk you through every single step that has happened this week. I feel like I have spent an entire week on the phone with Eric. Bless his heart. As a Satterfield case unfolded so quickly. Eric is working tirelessly to get justice for his clients.

Starting point is 00:10:45 And him and his partner Ronald Richter have done more to expose the bad actors in this case in the last three weeks than anyone has done in the last three years since Gloria Satterfield died. So we're going to rewind and go back to Sunday, October 3rd when Eric Bland announced that Elyke Murdoch's best friend, Corey Fleming, along with his law firm, reached a settlement in this case.

Starting point is 00:11:09 But before the new settlement was reached on Friday, Satterfield's two sons hadn't received a single dime from their mother's wrongful death settlement, which ended up being $4.3 million. He's not off the hook. He's going to pay every single dollar verified that he received and his law firm received by way of fees and costs for representing and recovering that $4.3 million. and his malpractice insurance policy is paying their full amount of coverage for the firm. So the estate's going to get back from him a significant amount of money. It's significant dollars. Okay. So I can't tell you the exact amount, but if you look at the order of Mullen in his fees, and I'm telling you he's getting back every single dollar of what he received,

Starting point is 00:12:03 he may not have received that total amount but close. So all the fees and costs are being disgorged from him and his law firm. Every single penny, they're not keeping one cent. Plus, his malpractice insurance policy paid the full amount of coverage. You can ask around, and you'll know that law firms have anywhere from, I'll give you the low end of $500,000, and they go up into the millions. Okay. I will tell you, it's not the full amount of the $4.3 million, but it's a significant chunk of it. And the rest is going to come from, hopefully, Chad's bank, come at a state, the Murdoch law firm, because now we have documents showing that the Murdoch law firm was involved representing the estate.

Starting point is 00:12:47 But what took Corey Fleming so long to come forward after all of these years? After all, these were his two clients that were supposed to get $2.8 million in a settlement and never received a dime. Is he really doing the right? thing here, or is he just coming forward to save himself? Here's Eric Bland again. Overwarming pressure by you, me, and other people who have been writing articles, he's got to try to save his law license. That's an issue he's got to be concerned about. Obviously, law enforcement is looking into this from both the state and the federal level, as they've indicated. And so I don't know his motivations or his lawyer's motivations, but I sense it, well, if we make restitution now early on we're first ones in. That's going to look good if I'm going to have any chance of saving my law license and my liberty because I totally disgorge myself and then we

Starting point is 00:13:49 actually paid more than what we received because the malpractice policy tendered its full limits. From a standpoint, should he have paid the entire $4.3 million? Some people may have said yes. Some people say no. Some people will say, well, Murdoch should pay and some of the banks should pay. The Murdoch firm was involved. They should pay. Maybe Corey shouldn't have to pay the entire thing. But he paid Mandy every single penny in fee and cost that they took. Inappropriate costs.

Starting point is 00:14:16 And he made a representation that he didn't receive anything on the back end from Alex. It's not like Alex got money and then kickbacks from the Corey and the firm. So they paid every single dollar plus their malpractice policy. And you remember Moss, his partner said in the island packet newspaper like, weeks ago, I think, on the 16th of September. Oh, we're going to countersuit for defamation. On September 24th, Jim Moss, who is one of Corey Fleming's law partners, told the Island Packet newspaper that he was planning on filing a countersuit against Satterfield's estate, claiming that the accusations made in the lawsuit were false. He is one of many players in this case who quickly

Starting point is 00:15:03 ate his own words. On Tuesday, Eric Bland published game-changing documents that not only showed Elyke Murdoch, Corey Fleming, and Chad Westendorff's involvement in this case through a paper trail, but also showed how Peters, Murdoch, Parker, Elsruth, and Didrick, also known as PMPED, the Murdoch law firm, was also alleged to be involved in this scheme to steal millions of dollars from Satterfield Suns. Now we have documents showing that the Murdoch law firm was involved representing the estate because you're going to see a filing today in today's court that will show all these documents that the Murdoch law firm sent out saying they were representing the estate. So the Murdoch law firm themselves was representing the estate and sending out documents. And they had a duty to protect the estate and its money. The documents directly contradict a statement published by PMPED on September 20,

Starting point is 00:16:05 claiming that PMPED partners were stunned by media reports about the Satterfield fraud scheme. The statement on PMPED's website, which, when I was posted, one of my really good sources in this case told me that that statement would not age well. And I believed him or her. The statement says, we have read the media reports about the lawsuit and settlement resulting from the death of Gloria Satterfield. If these reports are accurate, we are stunned at what occurred. It's important for everyone to know that PMPED did not represent Alex in that case. His insurance company hired counsel to represent him. Like many of you, we have lots of questions about Alex and what has recently come to light.

Starting point is 00:16:50 We don't know the answers, but we will continue assisting law enforcement and other authorities in efforts to find the truth. PMPED is committed to our clients and community. You can count on us to operate our firm in an honorable and transparent fashion. So was PMPED really stunned by the accusation, or did they know in hope that nobody would find out? Here's Eric Bland again. And the whole thing with the Murdoch firm, you know, it's hypocrisy at its best. You know, to come out and claim that they're victims of Alex's fraud, maybe if they did a better job of supervising their attorneys like the rule of professional conduct.

Starting point is 00:17:30 say the partner's supposed to do other partners. Maybe this wouldn't have happened. And maybe if they did a simple computer search, you know, when the whole Satterfield stuff came out, they would have come forward and said, you know what? We're, you know, we're an error. Our firm did send out letters of representation and did provide representation to these boys and to the estate. Documents filed on Tuesday, October 5th, show emails and letters from Ehrlich Murdoch and

Starting point is 00:17:54 his paralegals acting as representatives of the estate of Gloria Satterfield in the wrongful death settlement. So that would be Elic Murdoch, the only defendant in the settlement, claiming to represent Satterfield's sons who are the plaintiffs. Considering this egregious conflict of interest, how would that not raise

Starting point is 00:18:13 major flags at PMPED? Yes, Ms. Griswold, who's Alex's paralegal. Did you guys have to send out documents on the Satterfield case? How did you do that when he's the defendant in the case? We can't represent these people. He's being sued by these people. I mean, does the word conflict of

Starting point is 00:18:29 interests mean anything to anybody in this case? We owe 100% fidelity to our clients. The minute we start thinking about our interests over our clients, there's the potential for conflict of interest. The relationship between a lawyer and client is the highest at-law relationship that there is. You owe 100% fidelity to the client. Eric Bland received a check for $30,000 from Chad Wessendorf. Wessendorf was a personal representative of Gloria's estate. He played a key role in the scheme to cut Gloria Satterfield's sons out of the settlement before he took $30,000.

Starting point is 00:19:16 Here's Eric Bland again. Chad represents the heirs. Shouldn't he have asked, and all he had to do after the first check went in January of 2019 from the $505,000, you'll see that. They sent $403,500 to forge. All Chad had to do was ask, hey, can you send me a copy of the structure so I can keep up with it because I was brought in to manage the money. That's the whole reason why they had Tony step aside and bring in Chad to be the PR was because he was going to manage the money. So if Chad just sent a letter that said, hey, you know, send me a copy of the structure you're buying, it would have been over.

Starting point is 00:19:55 Because Alex obviously wasn't buying any structures. He would take it to money. So he's wealthfully blind or he's the dumbest moron who ever lived. Chad Wessendorf is still the president of the independent banks of South Carolina and he is still working at Palmetto State Bank. He has not apologized for his role in the glorious Satterfield settlement. On October 6th, 2021, just a day after Eric Bland filed bombshell documents that revealed PMPE, involvement in the Satterfield scheme, PMPEED pulled a fast one and filed a lawsuit against Elyke Murdoch that appeared to be a damage control move. According to the lawsuit, which was

Starting point is 00:20:41 filed by an attorney who doesn't appear to handle these types of cases, PMPEED uncovered ELEC's fraud scheme on September 2, 2021, when they discovered a check made out to Ehrlich Murdoch from another law firm and that check was laying unattended on his desk. According to PMP's lawsuit, Alec Murdoch admitted to the fraud during a meeting with the firm's partners on September 3rd, 2021. At this meeting, he resigned from the law firm, which was built by his family and founded by his great-grandfather. It was a convenient discovery. And it's very strange that they filed this lawsuit just a day after Eric Blan's motion. The partners were too busy trying to make their own money than watching their own little wolf in their henhouse. And that wolf was Alex Murdoch.

Starting point is 00:21:29 On Wednesday, October 6th, Eric Bland issued a joint statement with Corey Fleming's lawyer where Fleming apologized. The joint statement was done as a part of Fleming's settlement agreement with the Satterfield estate. In the statement, Fleming apologized, and he claimed he was fooled by his friend Elyke Murdoch. But he acknowledged that material mistakes were made at crucial times. Fleming claimed that until early September 2021, he sincerely believed that the settlement funds had been properly dispersed. And hold on one second. I have been writing about the sketchy Satterfield settlement since 2019. And Corey Fleming, who is a Beaufort lawyer, never once thought of the fact that his clients, Satterfield Sons, never received a dime of their settlement. Come on. Also, his

Starting point is 00:22:28 best friend Ellick has been at the center of a national news saga and several investigations since June. Did he not once think back to all of his cases that involved Ellick and double check that everything was done right, considering the fact that he should have expected that no stone would be left unturned in this investigation? Why did he suddenly realize this after SLED opened up an investigation and Bland filed a lawsuit. Gordon Fleming is saying, I was a moron for trusting him. He said, at critical times, significant times in this litigation, I made crucial mistakes. A lawyer can't afford to do that.

Starting point is 00:23:10 That's not what we're supposed to do. We're supposed to always be on the ball. We're supposed to look around the corner to prevent people from stealing. That's something that we have to guard against. That's why there's court orders. All Corey had to say to Alex is, I have a court order. I'm not going to violate it. This is my duty as a South Carolina lawyer.

Starting point is 00:23:31 I do not have the ability to violate a court order. Bland maintains that Corey Fleming failed his clients over and over in this case. The only thing that Corey Fleming did right is he recovered $4,300,000. Amazing job. Great job. But every single thing else he did was really. wrong, violated the rules of professional conduct, violated the standards of care, violated common sense, everything. Nothing he did right. Nothing, nothing, nothing, the attorneys, the defense

Starting point is 00:24:03 attorneys that were appointed by the insurance companies, they didn't do anything right. Corey Fleming took a contingency fee. Under our rules of conduct, you've got to have a fee agreement in writing for a contingency fee fee. There's no fee agreement. He doesn't have a fee agreement? Neither does Chad Westendorf. The question you should ask is, how much does the bar need to see? They've already suspended Alex Murdoch. How much does the bar need to see before they suspend Corey Fleming? How many court orders do you have to disregard? How many rules of procedure do you have to not follow? Not only the bar, slam it. What for does sled yee? Yeah. I gave him the document trail. They don't have to prove who shot Roger Rabbit. You know, did Paul

Starting point is 00:24:45 die this way or did this guy die this way? I gave him a paper trail. The low-hanging fruit is to nail people follow the money. That's the low-hanging fruit. On Thursday, October 7th, I wrote a story that ruffled a lot of feathers in the article titled, Why Hasn't Elyke Murdoch been arrested in the Satterfield scandal? I pointed out that Bland and so many others are questioning where the accountability is in this case after he's provided law enforcement with an apparent pile of evidence. In the story, I asked,

Starting point is 00:25:24 why isn't Alec Murdoch in jail? After all, he's accused of devising a plan to steal millions of dollars from the Satterfield family. Why isn't Alex Murdoch already charged with runner fraud? Yeah. Forge, listen to me.

Starting point is 00:25:39 Forge consulting already put out a statement on their website. They had nothing to do with Alex Murdoch or the Satterfield. case. I've already shown the checks. They've already been negotiated. It's wire fraud. He stole the money. Please tell me why he's not being charged today. Yeah. To be clear, Alec Murdoch is allegedly in rehab right now following his September 17th volunteering for his alleged role in the bizarre assisted suicide for hire insurance fraud scheme. His attorneys who have lied to the public

Starting point is 00:26:13 multiple times before, claim he is in rehab for an alleged opioid addiction. At Alec Murdoch's bond hearing, a Hampton County judge ruled that Ellick was not a danger to society and not a flight risk. But considering the fact that he allegedly concocted and pursued a made-for-holywood scheme to get shot in the head all for his son to collect a $10 million insurance policy, is he really not considered to be a danger to society? needs to eat from the same trough of justice that every other citizen in our state eats from. And it's patently obvious exactly what happened through the documents that are now in the public domain that he stole $3.6 million from my clients. More importantly, his own law firm

Starting point is 00:27:05 in a public pleading has said he did it to other clients through the same exact method. So, I got to believe in our state, we want one system of justice and not two systems of justice. But the longer this guy gets to sit the treatment facility and try to get himself better and could possibly still commit more crimes by getting rid of some of the money or figuring out a way that it can't be traced or found, then sooner or later somebody in our state's going to say, well, if you commit a crime with a pen, it's not as bad as if you do it with a gun. You don't have to prove every single crime that committed before you arrest somebody and charge them with serious crimes. Prosecutors all the time add additional counts.

Starting point is 00:27:55 It's called supersedious indictments. It's done all the time, but it will send a strong message to all those that he may be working with to get rid of this money, or however, if we can commit these crimes, Our state is serious, and we're arresting it going to hold these people accountable. But it's starting to be a joke. I mean, what more do you need? People go to jail when they utter a $100 pay a check. So is $3.6 million not enough? Is $10 million from the Murdoch firm not enough?

Starting point is 00:28:31 When isn't enough, if their goal is to get all these different co-conspirators or whatever, well, then you arrest somebody and you put pressure on them and you make people roll? That's what they do. right? You charge him with everything you can possibly do that's lawfully permissible. Alex Murdoch, I can sit down with a law book, can come up with 15, 20 crimes that he's committed, that are serious felony with law, term, jail sentence. The eyes of the nation are on this case. It's elementary what he did, and there's documents to prove it. This isn't trying to solve the crimes.

Starting point is 00:29:11 of, you know, how Nike and Paul died. Those are complicated. You know, they're circumstantial evidence cases. It's called circumstantial evidence. This is direct evidence. This is circumstantial. He got his handwriting money, Jack. He got him depositing in Bank of America.

Starting point is 00:29:33 The money is in Michael Mike. He got in the court order. He was a defendant in the case with a court order saying the money was to go to. My clients. Now, I'm not into about the Murdoch stuff. I'm just talking about my kids. It's direct evidence.

Starting point is 00:29:49 It's good to know that I can go steal $3.6 million and I'm not going to get arrested when I get caught. This week, I asked SLED officials that's a South Carolina law enforcement division, the agency investigating most of these alleged Murdoch crimes. A lot of questions about the Gloria Satterfields. settlement and why Ellick or anyone else hasn't been arrested yet. Here is the statement that Tommy Crosby, SLED spokesperson, sent to me. I'm going to have David read it. On September 15th, Sledd opened a criminal investigation into the death of Gloria Satterfield and the handling of her estate. Subsequently, agents met with attorney Eric Bland, who represents Gloria's sons, Tony

Starting point is 00:30:33 Satterfield, and Brian Harriet, and were provided with documentation that was gathered by Bland as part of a civil action. Since that meeting, agents have gathered additional information that requires significant further investigation. SLED agents continue to interview potential witnesses, collect and process potential evidence, and investigate every lead in this case in all potentially related cases. This process has and will continue to take a significant amount of time. However, the investigative decisions we make throughout these cases must ultimately withstand the scrutiny of the criminal justice process. This investigation and all of the related investigations are complex, and SLED will not rush them to meet arbitrary deadlines.

Starting point is 00:31:17 So in that same article on Thursday, I asked other questions about other alleged co-conspirators in this case and whether or not they will be held accountable. Why is Chad Westendorf still the president of the independent banks of South Carolina and still working at Palmetto State Bank? Will Carmen Mullen, the judge who has ties to the Murdoch family and approved the Under the Table settlement in 2019 and held two hearings in the case? Ever have to tell the truth about her involvement? And if she was involved, who will hold her accountable?

Starting point is 00:31:51 And finally, I asked how is Corey Fleming, who was a Satterfield's attorney and failed on almost every step of his duty to serve his clients, still able to practice law in South Carolina? So that brings us to Friday, October 8th, 2021. Just a day after I published that story asking questions about who will be held accountable. The South Carolina Supreme Court suspended Corey Fleming from practicing law due to evidence of misconduct that is under investigation. According to the ruling signed by Judge Donald Beatty, Fleming was placed on suspension pursuant to rule 17B, which states that the South Carolina Supreme Court can suspend any attorney upon receipt of sufficient evidence demonstrating that a lawyer poses a substantial threat of serious harm to the public or to the administration of justice. And yes, that is the same rule that got

Starting point is 00:32:54 Ehrlich Murdoch suspended exactly a month before Corey's suspension. So of course, when I heard this news, I called Eric Bland to get his reaction. prevailed and that the rules of professional conduct prevail over lawyer misconduct. You know, our justice system was being strained. There were a lot of people who were doubting whether we have a fairness, at least amongst the bar on lawyer misconduct. In our Supreme Court, I am very proud and I'm very proud of the ODC because they acted with swiftness and with certainty.

Starting point is 00:33:31 Now, I can't say that. Same thing for law enforcement when it comes. comes to Alex Murdoch. But as a lawyer, I am extremely proud of our Supreme Court and the disciplinary counsel. Because I filed a complaint against Corey Fleming when I filed my lawsuit. It's our practice. We're duty-bound. If we are witness to lawyer misconduct or we know of lawyer misconduct, it violates the rules of professional conduct, we're duty-bound to report it to the ODC. And so what we do is we provide a copy of our complaint to the bar. Well, we did that. And then we also obviously provided them with information along the way. And they don't

Starting point is 00:34:13 tell us what they're reviewing or anything, as you and I discussed before. But they certainly acted with swiftness and certainty, at least this week. After I filed my motion with all the exhibits and you wrote a pretty stinging article. I think it's a ringing endorsement for them to do that on a Friday afternoon. And I just hope that law enforcement is working with the same sense of urgency that our bar did. And what about Gloria's death? We have learned a couple more details about the incident that led to Gloria's death. Despite some documents stating that the accident took place in Hampton, South Carolina at the Murdox-Hawley Street home, the incident now is said to have taken place at the Moselle property in Collagen County, the same property

Starting point is 00:35:04 where Maggie and Paul Murdoch were found murdered on June 7, 2021. Also, I learned from a Facebook post written by one of Gloria's sons that Glory also suffered broken ribs in addition to her head injury in the incident. There are still more questions and answers in this case. We need answers from SLED. We need answers from Judge Carmen Mullen. We need answers from Chad Westendorf, we need answers from PMPED. We need answers from Palmetto State Bank and Bank of America. We need answers from Ehrlich Murdoch. The law firm's got liability and the banks have liability,

Starting point is 00:35:43 but in terms of the receiving the money, Alex, is the only one left. You can add up all my cases. I've sued over 175 lawyers and law firms. You could add them all up and it doesn't equal what's going on here. Because this is top to bottom. This is, you know, judges, lawyers, money, everything. Why, you name it. There's so much to unpack in this case, and Mandy works tirelessly to expose the truth.

Starting point is 00:40:57 because I'm a great of life. When I watched how Hulu's Murdoch death in the family portrayed the moment when Brittany Snow's Mandy character and Jason Clark's Alec character collided on screen with a stare that shakes the viewer to their core, it did feel like deja vu. That same electric mix of exhaustion, outrage, and purpose we lived through in 2021 is right there on the screen in episode 2. The series captured what we were really feeling then, the adrenaline of discovery after Mandy learned about the boat crash, and later the disbelief of Gloria Satterfield's case unfolding and the exhaustion of balancing our personal lives against covering this national story. Brittany channels Mandy's focus and emotional weight with uncanny precision.

Starting point is 00:42:19 Seeing those scenes dramatized reminded me why that time in Mandy's life and career mattered. It was the moment sunlight met accountability, and the fight for truth became unstoppable. Thank you.
