Alex Murdaugh, the prominent South Carolina lawyer at the center of multiple state investigations, is expected to turn himself into police, his attorney said.
Wednesday that Murdaugh would surrender to authorities in Hampton County. Griffin didn't immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment.
Smith is facing charges of assisted suicide, assault and battery of a high aggravated nature, pointing and presenting a firearm, insurance fraud, and conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. The county coroner sent a letter Wednesday to state police indicating Satterfield's death at Murdaugh's home was never reported to the coroner's office, nor was an autopsy done despite her manner of death being listed as"natural" from injuries she sustained from tripping and falling.
Murdaugh's attorney, Harpootlian, told the"Today" show, however, he and Griffin were investigating"an individual or individuals we believe may, may, have some culpability or had done it." Harpootlian did not elaborate further on whom he and his partner were investigating, saying only the motive would be"personal.
