Murdaugh Murders: What happened to Gloria Satterfield, the Murdaugh family maid?

The case of Gloria Satterfield, a former maid of the infamous Murdaugh family, has once again come into the public eye with the recent release of the Netflix true crime series, “Murdaugh Murders” on February 22, 2023. After the subsequent testimony of Alex Murdaugh on February 23, many are now questioning what really happened to Satterfield.

Gloria Satterfield worked for the Murdaugh family for over two decades as a housekeeper and nanny. In 2018, Satterfield tragically died after falling down a flight of stairs while working at the Murdaugh family’s hunting lodge. Her death was ruled accidental, and the Murdaugh family’s insurance company paid out a settlement to her estate. However, suspicions were raised about the circumstances surrounding her death when it was revealed that the settlement amount was only $500,000, far less than what Satterfield’s family believed was appropriate compensation.

It was not until recently that new information came to light that cast doubt on the official ruling of Satterfield’s death. Many are now wondering if Satterfield’s death was not, in fact, accidental. The possibility that foul play may have been involved has been further fueled by allegations that the Murdaugh family may have mistreated and exploited their staff. These allegations have led some to speculate that Satterfield may have been a victim of abuse, and her death may have been covered up to avoid legal repercussions for the Murdaugh family.

The case of Gloria Satterfield is a tragic reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and privilege. The Murdaugh family, with their wealth and influence, were able to exert control over the legal system and avoid scrutiny for years. However, with the recent revelations and renewed attention brought about by the series “Murdaugh Murders”, it is possible that justice may finally be served for Satterfield and her family.

It is important to note that the investigation into Satterfield’s death is still on, and no conclusive evidence of foul play has been uncovered yet. However, the admission by Alex Murdaugh that he mishandled the settlement funds intended for Satterfield’s estate has cast doubt on the official ruling of her death and raised questions about the Murdaugh family’s involvement.
