The secret life of Maggie Murdaugh, notorious murders’ forgotten victim
Maggie Murdaugh was notorious for spoiling her two sons. By all accounts, Buster, her oldest child, was considerably more laid-back and socially adept than Paul, who was 22 when his mother, 52, and he was shot to death at the family hunting lodge in rural Colleton County last June.
The now infamous murders, which have been covered by media outlets around the world, are still unsolved.
In February 2019, Paul was charged with the murder of Mallory Beach. Friends claimed that Paul changed into a different, more destructive person after drinking and going by the name “Timmy.”
Yet a family source told The Post that Paul was a challenge even as a young child. Since the age of 11, he used abusive language with his caretakers and the people around him.

A Traditional Mother Whose Children Means The World To Her
Buster’s oldest son’s former teacher, Bubba Mixson, claimed that she shouldn’t be held accountable for spoiling her youngsters excessively as she was a traditional homemaker.
Yet, over the past six months since the killings, Maggie’s narrative has been overshadowed by the alleged criminal and civil misdeeds of her widower and ongoing “person of interest,” Alex Murdaugh.
Who Is Maggie Murdaugh?
Margaret Kennedy Branstetter (Maggie Murdaugh) was born in Nashville to Terry and Kennedy Branstetter. Maggie had a close relationship with her parents. However, her parents have not spoken about their daughter or their grandson since their passing.
Maggie’s parents were “extremely traditional,” according to Lisa Hineman-Moore, who ran track with Maggie at Unionville High in Pennsylvania from 1984 to 1986 and was friends with her.
Hineman-Moore claimed that because Maggie “was always slender” and occasionally made fun of Lisa’s excess weight, their friendship ended on a somewhat sour note.
Maggie Murdaugh was killed on the 7th of June 2021 with her younger son Paul. Murdaugh’s parents are Terry and Kennedy and they are living in North Carolina.
One of the witnesses called in the ongoing trial of Alex is Maggie Murdaugh’s sister, Marian Proctor, who recently provided some unique insight into Alex’s marriage. At the time of her death, Maggie Murdaugh had an estimated worth of $4,160,0000 total in real estate holdings.
Maggie And Alex’s Marriage
Maggie enrolled in the University of South Carolina, where she met Alex “Alec” Murdaugh, who was a grade above her, in the late 1980s. He was Maggie’s very first committed relationship. Yet, a friend claimed there was a cost associated with her choice to wed him.
An Extravagant Life Of A Small Town Girl
According to residents, she was a very grounded person. In the entire family, she was the only one to see the family housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, as she lay dying in the hospital.
The family member claimed he was consistently taken aback by how “understated” was Alex and Maggie’s Hampton, South Carolina home was. Before the murders, the Murdaughs sold that home and divided their time between the hunting lodge and Edisto Beach.
Two people with knowledge of the matter claimed that, at best, Maggie and Alex were leading separate lives—she at a home near Edisto Beach, whereas, Alex lived at the hunting lodge in Islandton—and that their relationship had been deteriorating.
A Marriage That Might Be In Danger
Maggie’s family and friends claim she kept a good attitude and kept her good humour when she was leaving her husband, who had financial difficulties and a 20-year opioid addiction.
Meanwhile, Maggie’s friend Maria Cordero is outraged by media reports implying that the Murdaugh marriage had issues and that Maggie had allegedly seen a divorce lawyer six weeks before her passing.
Cordero told them that nothing they were saying was accurate. “And it’s also none of your concern.”
Another insider with knowledge of the probe asserted that they had looked throughout the state for any divorce lawyers who might have received a visit from Maggie Murdaugh but had come up empty-handed.
One of Alex Murdaugh’s two attorneys, state senator Dick Harpootlian, angrily refutes rumours that his client’s marriage was in trouble. He admitted that throughout the course of 18 months while representing Paul Murdaugh in the boat crash case, he frequently observed Alex and Maggie together.
