Welcome to Crimetown, a series produced by Marc Smerling and Zac Stuart-Pontier in partnership with Gimlet Media. Each season, we investigate the culture of crime in a different city. In Season 2, Crimetown heads to the heart of the Rust Belt: Detroit, Michigan. From its heyday as Motor City to its rebirth as the Brooklyn of the Midwest, Detroit’s history reflects a series of issues that strike at the heart of American identity: race, poverty, policing, loss of industry, the war on drugs, an ...

Inside the walls of the Moselle home, long before the murders, long before the trial, and long before the world knew the Murdaugh name for what it would become, there was one person who witnessed the daily reality of this family — the routines, the habits, the private moments, and the small details that never make it into headlines. Her name is Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson, and in her new memoir, she finally lays out the pieces of the puzzle that only someone inside that house could ever truly see.
In today’s Hidden Killers deep-dive, Tony Brueski breaks down Blanca’s revelations with the intensity they deserve. From the morning-after staging she immediately recognized as “wrong,” to the clothing inconsistencies Alex tried to rewrite in her memory, to the infamous Edisto beach towel she washed that morning and later saw in his Suburban on police body cam — this isn’t just another perspective. It’s a firsthand account that directly challenges the story Alex Murdaugh spent years trying to sell.
We explore why Blanca held onto her belief in Alex’s innocence far longer than most. We walk through the chilling moment that finally shattered that belief. And we dig into the emotional betrayal threaded through her unsent letter — a private message never meant to be public, now revealing what it feels like when someone you trusted manipulates you into playing a role in their cover-up.
This episode isn’t about theory. It’s about the truth of lived experience — the kind of truth that can only come from the person who folded the laundry, straightened the collars, cooked the meals, and knew the difference between the way something should look and the way someone wanted it to look after a crime.
If you’ve followed the Murdaugh case, you’ve never heard this story like this before. And if you thought the verdict was the whole story… you may want to listen all the way to the end.
