And yet, somehow, the story kept getting stranger. The official documents said Gloria Satterfield's trip and fall happened in Hampton County. But all of our reporting confirmed that it occurred at Moselle, which is Colleton County.

Starting point is 00:00:58 So why the disconnect? To this day, I believe it was intentional, a convenient piece of paper that made millions in fraudulent insurance payouts easier to process and harder to trace. I was in court for that hearing. It felt like the first time real sunlight was breaking through years of secrecy. The atmosphere was tense. You could sense just how uncomfortable it made people to hear Gloria Satterfield's name tied directly to Ellick Murdoch's financial crimes. Oh, and Eric Bland's comments were fiery, to say the least. It was surreal, watching powerful men like Dick Harputlian strut around the courtroom as if accountability were optional. Watching the defense squirm as prosecutors laid out the paper trail of deceit was unforgettable.

Starting point is 00:01:48 There was also this heavy silence when the details of the settlement theft came up. Everyone in the courtroom realized that this wasn't just about numbers. It was about a woman's death being exploited. That moment reminded me why we started this podcast to make sure that stories like Glorias didn't get buried in legal jargon in small town politics. Before seeing him in person, everyone described Dick Harputlian as this unstoppable courtroom shark. A legend with unmatched charisma, they said. But when I finally saw Dick in action, I was surprised by how small he appeared. His energy didn't come from power, it came from performance. He was clearly a showman, more theater than thunder. Instead of commanding the room through substance, he seemed to rely on

Starting point is 00:02:40 condescension and bluster. What struck me the most was how performative his outrage was, especially when he was defending behavior that most people would find indefensible. You could tell he was protecting the system, not justice. That was the moment I realized why he thrived in the good old boy arena, not because of brilliance, because he knows how to play to the audience. While I had not met Gloria's sons, Brian and Tony, yet when this aired, this episode became the turning point that helped us understand their pain, their persistence and their mother's humanity beyond the headlines.

Starting point is 00:03:19 It's still why I say to this day, Gloria Satterfield deserves every ounce of justice that we can give her. Here is MMP episode 20 from December 1st, 2021. What Happened to Gloria Satterfield, Part 5. I don't know if anyone killed Gloria Satterfield, But this week, investigators released the 911 call from the incident that led to her death. And unfortunately, the mystery keeps deepening. My name is Mandy Matney, and I've been investigating the Murdoch family for more than two and a half years now.

Starting point is 00:04:00 This is the Murdoch Murdoch's podcast. So we are back from Thanksgiving break, and this week has already been chock full of Murdoch murder news. We had another episode almost ready to go today. But then, as Murdoch Murder's news goes, something else broke and changed her plans. But we're not complaining. We both had a lot of time to reflect over this break, and we have so many people to thank for getting us here. Today, the Murdoch Murder's podcast was named the number five best. new show on Apple of 2021.

Starting point is 00:04:47 And that is a big deal. I'm going to talk more about what this means to me and the long list of people that we have to thank for helping us get to this moment. And we'll get into all of that at the end of this episode. So on Tuesday, November 30th, nearly four years after Gloria Satterfield died from injuries in an alleged trip and fall incident on Alec Murdoch's property, the South Carolina law enforcement division, also known as SLED, released the 911 call in the incident. The 911 call was released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, which is why

Starting point is 00:05:25 we were able to break the story. So despite some documents stating that the incident took place in Hampton County, South Carolina, this incident actually took place at the Moselle property in Colleton County, the same property where Maggie and Paul Murdoch were found murdered on June 7, 2021. SLED opened an investigation into Gloria Satterfield's death on September 15th. The same day her son's attorneys, Eric Glenn and Ronald Richter, filed a lawsuit against Ehrlich Murdoch and his co-conspirators, who are accused of scheming to steal millions of dollars from Satterfield's wrongful death settlement.

Starting point is 00:06:02 Murdoch is still behind bars on charges related to the Gloria Satterfield case. But while so much is known about what went wrong in that settlement, we still know very little about how Gloria died. So today, we are going to go through the 911 call and everything we know about what happened to Gloria. Maggie Murdoch called 911 around 924 a.m. on Friday, February 2nd, 2018. I'm going to start by saying it's hard to listen

Starting point is 00:06:34 to this phone call. Hearing the voices of Maggie and Paul Murdoch on the property where they were murdered just three years later is haunting. 9.24 a.m. 38th, 2nd, February to 2018. Come here. 911. What is your emergency? 4-1-47, Mosedale Road.

Starting point is 00:07:04 Okay, can you give me the address? Okay, can you give me the address? Let me try out of the right? Yes, 4-1-47, Moselle. Road. Okay, what's going on at there? I'm sorry. What's going on out there?

Starting point is 00:07:18 My housekeeper has fallen and her head is bleeding. I cannot get her up. Okay, you said she's fallen and she's bleeding from the head? Yes. Okay. How old is she? I'm not sure, like 58 maybe. So Gloria Satterfield was more than Maggie Murdoch's housekeeper.

Starting point is 00:07:38 She helped raise Maggie Murdoch's children. She was working in their home for more than two decades at this point. Gloria was 57 at the time of this incident. And while we've talked about this many times, it's impossible to judge anybody by their tone of voice on a 911 call. Sources who knew the Murdoch family have described Maggie as emotionally detached, which could explain her matter-of-fact voice here. Do you know if she saw them standing or not?

Starting point is 00:08:08 No. No. Where she fell from? She fell going up the steps, at the bridge steps. Okay, so she outside or inside? Outside. Okay. How many steps is there?

Starting point is 00:08:24 Eight. Okay, if she's on the ground or is she up near the top? She's on the ground. She's on the ground. She's conscious? No, not really. Is she awake at all? Yes.

Starting point is 00:08:39 Okay. Is she just not, like, responding appropriately, but she is awake? Man, she's not, no, she's not responding. Okay, I just, I've already got them on the way, me asking questions, does not fill them down, ma'am. Knowing if she's conscious is one of the things that the medic needs to know if she's responding at all to you. No. Okay. She's not responsive at all?

Starting point is 00:09:11 Well, I mean, she's mumbling. Okay, so she is somewhat conscious. Is she breathing, okay? Yes. Is she bleeding from anywhere? Yes, her head. Okay, are you guys able to control the bleeding? No.

Starting point is 00:09:27 Can you put a clean rag or anything on it? Here, Maggie appears to be irritated with the dispatcher, whose job is to get the most amount of information for first responders to appropriately take care of the victim before arriving to the scene. When the dispatcher asked if they were able to control the bleeding, it sounds like Maggie says I didn't even try. At no point does Maggie ever ask what she can do to help Gloria. Yeah, I got it.

Starting point is 00:09:54 Okay, is she bleeding from, like, her feet, the back of the head, the back of the head? Sir, my name's where exactly is she bleeding from on her head? I'm not sure at the top of her head. Okay. What's it okay? What happened? She just fell back down. Can I get off this phone so I can go down there?

Starting point is 00:10:22 Can I have your name and phone number? Are you able to bring the phone down by her? What? Are you on a cell phone where you can walk down there? I'm on the cell phone. Okay, can you bring it with you? So we can ask her some questions about what kind of pain she's having? Here, Maggie is saying that Gloria fell back down, which is an odd phrase when speaking about someone who is lucid and in and out of consciousness.

Starting point is 00:10:47 Maggie Murdoch then handed the phone to her son, Paul Murdoch, who was 18 at the time. Multiple sources familiar with the status of the investigation confirmed that the voice on the recording was Paul Murdoch. Hello? Yeah, can you ask what kind of thing she's having? then she can't talk okay do you know she's cracked their head and there's blood on the concrete

Starting point is 00:11:10 and she's bleeding out of her ear and out of her ear and out of her head she's cras and skull okay all right the other lady so that she had tried to stand up

Starting point is 00:11:21 and sell down again no I was holding her up okay she told me to turn her loose and she was trying to use her own but then she fell back over here Paul

Starting point is 00:11:32 is saying that Gloria was bleeding out of her ear and out of her head and she cracked her skull. He says very clearly that Gloria is not talking at this point. Then it sounds like he said that he was trying to pick up Gloria up off the ground and she told him to put him back down and that's how she fell again. But this is just moments after Paul told the dispatcher that she wasn't talking. Okay, do you guys know who she is? Yes, she works for us.

Starting point is 00:12:00 So Paul appears to be distancing himself from Gloria here. Gloria, a person who raised him, is suffering from a traumatic head wound right in front of him, and he's basically referring to her as the help. This is odd because multiple sources have told me that Paul was very close with Gloria. In fact, he had an endearing nickname for Gloria. He called her Go-Go. Paul saw Go-Go as a mother figure, and he loved her like one, according to a source who was close to the Murdoch family.

Starting point is 00:12:32 So why is he talking about her like he doesn't care? Okay, do you know she's ever had a stroke or anything before? Man, can you stop asking her how to start? I already have them on the way. Me asking questions does not slow them down in any way. These are relevant questions that I have to ask for the ambulance. Right here, Paul is obviously annoyed with the dispatcher for asking relevant questions about glorious injuries.

Starting point is 00:12:59 If you've been listening to this podcast from the beginning, you'll notice a stark difference between the way Connor Cook treated the dispatcher, who asked very irrelevant questions in the 2019 boat crash and the way that Paul treated the dispatcher here. One of my questions is, has she ever had a stroke? I don't believe she's ever had a stroke now that I know that. Okay. Okay. Is she able to talk to you guys at all, or is she unconscious now? She's not unconscious. She's just mumbling. Okay. I believe she's maybe hit her head and that. Maybe I was a concussion or something.

Starting point is 00:13:32 Okay. Do you know what her name is? Gloria Satterfield. You said Sanderfield? Sam. You said Sanderfield? Sata field. Okay.

Starting point is 00:13:45 What's the house look like out there? It's an, um, it's offset off the roads. Okay. It's a big house, got a more than driveway. With a long driveway? Yeah, um... Is there a date or anything down there that they're going to need to come through? There's two big, big, brick columns don't have to come through.

Starting point is 00:14:07 Okay, but there's no, like, date code or anything that they need? No, ma'am. In terms, they can look for a fellow on a six-by-six ranger. Okay. Waiting on them in the road is green. You know what the... They probably know what the ranger looks like. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:23 You said, like... The fellas got on a black sweater. Okay. It's a little hard to hear, but Paul Mardock is telling the dispatcher that first responders should look for another man in a six-wheeled utility vehicle at the edge of the Moselle property. Sources have told us that this person was another worker on the property. Okay. All right.

Starting point is 00:14:49 If something changes with her, if she loses consciousness or anything like that, I need one of you guys to call me back right away, okay? Okay, well, how long is we going to take? That I don't know. I've had them on the way since Maggie first called me. They were toned right away. So notice right here, the dispatcher says Maggie's name. A few minutes earlier, she referred to Maggie as the lady.

Starting point is 00:15:13 And maybe the dispatcher heard Maggie's name when she asked her for her name previously, but she did mumble it and it was very hard to hear. We were told by police that this is an unredacted version of the 911 one recording and that investigators didn't edit any parts of this. Now, it is possible that she got a hold of property records while on the phone. Dispatchers can do that. But those property records would say Margaret Murdoch, not Maggie. And maybe she knew Maggie Murdoch lived at the property because they were a well-known

Starting point is 00:15:45 family in Colleton County. So whatever it is, it's worth noting. Okay. All right, but I think they're coming. Hang on one minute, let me check. They're coming from somewhere on Bell's Highway and Ruffin, okay, after their station is. Thank you. All right, but like I said, if something changes, call me back.

Starting point is 00:16:08 Yes, all. Okay. So the 911 call ends abruptly. A Colleging County first responders report refers to Gloria as an elderly female who fell while walking up eight brick steps. The report said that Gloria was semi-conscious and breathing. The earliest first responder arrived at 9.41 a.m. according to the report. They were en route to the hospital by 952 a.m. A couple things to note about the 911 call. Gloria's sons were told that Murdoch's dogs caused her to trip and fall and that she suffered from a traumatic brain injury because

Starting point is 00:16:49 of that. However, there was no mention of dogs during that 911. 911 call. And I didn't hear any dogs in the background of the 911 call either. Another thing is Alec Murdoch, who allegedly orchestrated the entire wrongful death scheme to scam Gloria Satterfield's family and the aftermath of her death is not mentioned anywhere in the 911 call. We don't know if he wasn't home or what the deal is there, but he's not mentioned at all. One more thing. Nowhere in this 911 call do Maggie or Paul mention a word about what's they can do to help Gloria. They both seem more concerned about getting off the phone with the dispatcher than they did about saving Gloria, who was apparently in a dire condition at

Starting point is 00:17:34 that time. Here is my co-host, Liz Farrell. Since we published the 911 story, readers have pointed out to Mandy and me that they were particularly surprised by Maggie's instant recollection of how many steps she had, that Gloria was said to have fallen up the stairs, that Gloria appears to have been moved after her fall, and that Maggie's tone, when asked about Gloria's age, seemed dismissive and imperious. Though the 911 call does not reveal a lot about what happened that morning. It is the first time a lot of people are hearing Maggie's and Paul's voices since their murders. We spoke to Eric Bland on Wednesday afternoon and asked him whether Gloria's family had listened to the 911 tape and how they felt about it. Here's what he had to say.

Starting point is 00:18:21 obviously the family's distressed in hearing the you know the circumstances of how you know their mother and sister were described being delirious and mumbling and somebody had held her up and then let go and dropped her and they were a little taken back by the lack of emotion so to speak with maggie and paul they were really mad that maggie appeared just to give the phone to paul you know she was so frustrated she just gave the phone the phone to Paul and he took over talking you know

Starting point is 00:18:56 she described eight steps and brick steps and it happened the same way that Alex described it except they didn't mention the dogs but it said she did fall on the exterior steps and you know there isn't anything that

Starting point is 00:19:13 I could glean from it that I would consider to be suspicious other than that you know the lady was trying to do her job and it appeared that Maggie and Paul were a little short-fused with her. In the ongoing coverage of the Satterfield case, Gloria has been referred to as the Murdoch's longtime housekeeper, which she was, in part.

Starting point is 00:19:35 If there's one thing Gloria's family would want us all to know, it's that one word is never enough to fully capture who a person was. And that this word in particular, housekeeper, only describes one aspect of her professional life and personal relationship with the Murdoch family. And certainly isn't a big enough word to describe who she was to those she loved most. She was so much more. You know, everybody says, oh, you know, she was the housekeeper for the Murdoch.

Starting point is 00:20:05 I mean, housekeepers are people, too. She loved her job. She was more than a housekeeper. She helped raise these children. She was very close with Paul. She worked with Mr. Buster. and Ms. Libby. She worked for Randy and John Marvin, raising kids, babysitting.

Starting point is 00:20:28 She drove them around. She wasn't just the housekeeper. And that's what's getting lost in this. She was a real person, you know, great sense of humor, wonderful sense of family, very religious. They took her on vacations at times. So that's what's got the family. that they were willing to talk, you know, on, on Dateline and, and, and, and, and, and, flip, special, she's so much more than a housekeeper, and it's just demeaning, and it's not,

Starting point is 00:20:59 you're not to blame. It's just, she's known as just the Murdoz housekeeper. It's almost like calling her the Murdall's dog. It's just, these are people, these are people that have families and raise, you know, and make a living and make an important contribution to people's family. She was so much more to have. housekeeper. That's annoying. What? You're a muffler.

Starting point is 00:21:30 You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this? Oh, yeah. Way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bel Air Direct and use the money to fix your car. Bell Air Direct, insurance, simplified.

So while there are very few documents about this 2019 incident

Starting point is 00:22:18 at Moselle. A series of Facebook posts from Tony Satterfield, one of Gloria Satterfield's sons, sheds light on the extent of Gloria's injuries. On February 2, 2018, Tony Satterfield posted the following on Facebook. So for those of you who don't know, my mom fell, hit her head pretty hard. She had to be flown out to Trident Medical and has a hematoma, a couple of broken ribs. She is responding, knew who I was, and even knew. her social to give to the registration lady. On February 3rd, Tony Satterfield said that Glory was complaining of headaches and her

Starting point is 00:22:56 hematoma had gotten better. Tony posted that his mother was going to have surgery on her ribs which were cracked during the incident and that surgery was scheduled for February 5th. While Tony posted that that surgery went well, things appeared to take a turn after that operation. On February 7th, Tony wrote, update on my mom. Knocked out cold, will not wake up. And in another post on February 7, 2018, Tony Satterfield wrote that his mother has stage three kidney disease, which did not help the situation.

Starting point is 00:23:35 Over the next week, it sounded like her status improved slightly, but on February 20th, it seems like things went south really quick. Tony Satterfield posted, it appeared that Gloria's heart had stopped and they had to do CPR. In addition to giving us insight into how difficult those last few days were for Gloria and her family, Tony's post tell us just how loved Gloria was. After a difficult day on February 20, 2018, Tony reflected on how grateful he was that he and his mother had been able to say, I love you to each other, in the previous days. He was also thankful that his mother was able to see that he had a personal relationship,

Starting point is 00:24:12 with Jesus and that he got his dream job at Beaufort Memorial Hospital. In just five days later, Tony Satterfield posted a tragic update. The family made the heart-wrenching decision to take Gloria off of the ventilator because the life that she was living was torture and was no quality of life that she would want to live. Gloria Satterfield, 57, died at Trident Medical Center in North Charleston on February 26, 2018. One of the questions that remains in the minds of those familiar with the medical care in the low country is this. Why was Gloria, a trauma patient with a head injury, taken to Trident Medical Center in Somerville?

Starting point is 00:24:52 This isn't to cast aspersions on the staff at Trident. It's simply to acknowledge this. Is Trident the hospital where the Murdox would have been taken if it were one of them who had received the head injury that day? It's stunning to me. She was airlifted immediately. They took her to call it in the hospital, and then she was airlifted, and she was airlifted to Triton in Somerville, and when you have a brain injury, you know, that's usually an MUSC, or in this area, it would be directly to Prisma in Columbia. It's MUSC, and I don't know how she ended up in Triton in Somerville, and no idea. Fast forward, more than three years later, in September 2021, a new Hampton County coroner named Angela Topper requested that the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, the same agency investigating the Murdoch murders, opened an investigation into Gloria Satterfield's death due to inconsistencies surrounding her death.

Starting point is 00:26:03 Her death was not reported to the coroner at the time, nor did officials perform an autopsy, according to her death certificate. A couple things to note about Satterfield's death certificate. Her cause of death was listed as acute subdural hemorrhage, which is essentially a brain bleed. The manner of death was listed as natural, and so for an explainer, there are five manners of death. Natural, accident, homicide, suicide, and undetermined. From what we know about glorious death, her brain bleed appeared to be caused by her injuries at Moselle, which seem to be far from natural. The really weird part about her death certificate is where it says other significant conditions.

Starting point is 00:26:46 It reads, Foreigner contacted? No. Date of injury? Not applicable. Location of injury? Not applicable. How the injury occurred? Not applicable. Autopsy performed? No. Time of injury? Not applicable. Autopsy available? Not applicable. Injury at work? Not applicable. Gloria was injured at work in her last day living outside of a hospital. That is a fact.

Starting point is 00:27:17 Why was her death certificate full of inconsistencies? And how on earth were Corey Fleming and Elyke Murdoch able to pull off a $3.6 million wrongful death settlement claiming that she was injured in Hampton County when she was injured at Moselle, and claiming that she died from a trippenfall accident when her death certificate said she died from natural causes. Is that an example of how afraid of Hampton County insurance companies are? Or is something else going on there? Again, we have to ask ourselves,

Starting point is 00:27:51 are the inconsistencies due to corruption or incompetence? Officials at the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division told us this week that the investigation into Gloria's death is active and ongoing. Our growing team will continue to chip away at this case and we will get answers to the many questions we all have in Gloria Satterfield's death. Stay tuned.

Starting point is 00:28:25 So I said it before on the last episode and I will say this again because gratitude is something that I take so, seriously. We are incredibly thankful to everyone supporting this podcast with your words of encouragement, subscriptions, and contributions to our mission. This Thanksgiving, David, Luna, and I traveled across the country to visit my family in Kansas City, and we were reminded of how this show and my reporting is only possible because of the people who believe in us. And then, Tuesday came, and it was a world win. First, the Gloria Satterfield tape was released, something that I've been waiting years to hear. After that, I lost the diamond of my engagement ring on the beach

Starting point is 00:29:04 for a solid panic-filled 15 minutes before David, my hero, found it. It was incredibly emotional. And then I checked my phone and found out that the Murdoch Murders podcast was named a top new show of 2021 by Apple Podcast. I will be honest, I'm not used to awards. I've always been an unconventional journalist at heart. In most of my career, I felt like I didn't belong. The old school tends to pass over people like me, and think of them as silly or unprofessional because my type of reporting does not play by the rules. And if you're paying attention to mainstream media on this case, you can see that they're doing everything they can to discredit my reporting from the Wall Street Journal to the Associated Press. But it really meant something

Starting point is 00:29:54 this week when Apple recognized us as a top show. If Apple supports this work and takes us seriously, maybe we're on to something here.

Starting point is 00:34:24 represented so much more than one family's tragedy.
