Alex Murdaugh claims he lied about dogs causing housekeeper Gloria Satterfield's fatal trip and fall
Fox News
Alex Murdaugh has offered a surprising new account of the death of his late housekeeper Gloria Satterfield in the latest court filing in a federal fraud case against him.
"No dogs were involved in the fall of Gloria Satterfield," Murdaugh’s lawyers wrote in his reply to Nautilus Insurance Company’s fraud lawsuit against him. "After Ms. Satterfield’s death, defendant invented Ms. Satterfield’s purported statement that dogs caused her fall to force his insurers to make a settlement payment."

Nautilus sued Murdaugh, his former friend and ex-attorney Cory Fleming, and others for fraud after they allegedly pocketed $3.8 million from Nautilus and $500,000 from Lloyd's of London that should have gone to the Satterfield children.
