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 ...

For over fifteen years, Blanca Simpson worked inside the Murdaugh family's world. She cleaned their homes. She ran their errands. She watched their kids grow up. And she saw a side of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh that the media never showed you.
In this exclusive interview — part one of a five-part series — Blanca takes us back to the very beginning. How she first met Alex Murdaugh in the late 1990s while helping a friend with a legal case. How a chance encounter at a Pizza Hut parking lot led to years of translation work for his law firm. And how she eventually became the trusted housekeeper for one of the most powerful families in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
But more importantly, Blanca sets the record straight on who Maggie and Paul really were. Maggie wasn't the fur-coat-wearing snob the tabloids made her out to be — she shopped at local mom-and-pop stores and made friends everywhere she went. And Paul? He was a little clown who used to hide Blanca's cleaning supplies just to mess with her.
This is the Murdaugh family before the boat crash. Before the lawsuits. Before the murders. A family that, by all appearances, had it all — money, power, respect, and a tight-knit bond that Blanca found genuinely attractive.
But as we'll learn in the coming segments, that picture was about to shatter.
If you're new to this case or you've followed every twist and turn, this interview offers a perspective you haven't heard — from someone who was actually there, inside the house, part of the family's daily life.
Part 2 drops soon. Make sure you're subscribed and hit the bell so you don't miss it.
Blanca Simpson's book is available now — link in the description.
