Reportedly, Gloria Satterfield was the housekeeper for Alex Murdaugh, the head of the Murdaugh family and a former highly renowned lawyer from South Carolina with a rumored net worth of $1M. She had reportedly been working for the Murdaugh family for twenty years.

Reportedly, on February 26, 2018, 57-year-old Gloria Satterfield died after falling down some stairs at the Moselle Road property of Murdaughs in Colleton County. It is the same property where in June 2021, Alex Murdaugh's 52-year-old wife Maggie Murdaugh and 22-year-old son Paul Murdaugh were found shot to death.

The cause of her death was allegedly ruled out as a natural cause. However, at the time, no coroner was reportedly notified nor an autopsy was performed.


After her demise, Alex Murdaugh reportedly encouraged Gloria's two sons Tony and Brian to sue him for the illicit demise of their mother. Murdaugh's insurance company made a settlement of approximately $500,000 for the sons. However, they allegedly never received the money afterwards.

Reportedly, at the time of the settlement negotiations, Gloria Satterfield's two sons were represented by attorney Cory Fleming, with whom Alex Murdaugh had close ties for a long period of time. Apparently, the sons did not realize that at the time.

Allegedly, Cory Fleming neither took part in the negotiation procedure nor signed any agreement. Later on, highly acclaimed lawyer Alex Murdaugh was reportedly charged with two accounts of felonies associated with unpaid money.

Reportedly, on October 14, 2021, Alex Murdaugh was taken into custody after being discharged from the Orlando drug rehabilitation facility by SLED (The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division) on two felony accounts of Obtaining Property by False Pretenses.

Currently, Murdaugh is facing 71 charges collectively as stated by the state grand jury indictment.
