10 Shocking Things the Murdaugh Housekeeper Witnessed That No One Else Did

Blanca, the housekeeper for the Murdaugh family, holds secrets to the case that many have overlooked or dismissed, yet she was the one who spent countless hours in the Murdoch home. She became one of the most crucial, though underappreciated, witnesses to the horrific murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. In this exclusive look into her world, we uncover the 10 things she saw that no one else did, things that could have changed the investigation — and even the course of justice — if they had been treated with the significance they deserved.

1. The Eerie Silence of Alec’s Behavior Leading Up to the Murders

Blanca witnessed a notable shift in Alec Murdaugh’s behavior in the months leading up to the murders. She recalled that, about two months before the tragic night, Alec seemed to lose interest in his usual routines. He became lethargic, staying in bed until midday and appearing disengaged. Normally a well-groomed man, Alec stopped caring about his clothes, a change that seemed strange to Blanca. She attributed it to the pressure he was feeling from his father’s illness, but the change marked the beginning of a troubling pattern.

2. The Sudden Appearance of Alec’s Pain Pills and a Disturbing Discovery

As Alec’s health declined, his reliance on oxycodone became more apparent. Blanca noticed several bags of pills that she later disposed of in the trash. Though she never confronted him about it, she did ask Maggie about the pills, and Maggie seemed concerned, especially after finding a stash under the dresser. Blanca’s observations highlighted Alec’s escalating addiction, which would later be a key factor in his downfall.

3. The Disarray in the House and the Puzzling Location of Maggie’s Car

On the day of the murders, Blanca found herself in the Murdaugh house preparing dinner, as she often did. But something felt off when she noticed that Maggie’s car, typically parked to the left of the driveway, was now on the right side. This small detail bothered her because it was uncharacteristic of Maggie’s usual habits. She brushed it off at the time, thinking it was just a coincidence, but looking back, she realized that this was a potential clue that had gone unnoticed.

4. Unusual Behavior in the Laundry Room

One of the most telling things Blanca witnessed was in the laundry room. When she entered, she saw that Maggie’s pajamas were carelessly tossed in the doorway. Blanca knew Maggie well and could immediately tell that this wasn’t something Maggie would do. The clothing was not placed as it would have been in her usual routine, and Blanca felt that someone had staged the scene. Most disturbingly, Maggie’s undergarments were placed there too, which struck Blanca as odd because Maggie never wore them to bed.

5. The Mystery of the White T-shirt and the Missing Clothes

Blanca noticed the white t-shirt Alec had been wearing that day in the laundry room, not in its usual place where Alec would have folded it, but instead hung up to avoid wrinkling. As a man particular about his clothes, Alec would usually have taken the time to fold his t-shirts. The sudden change in his behavior, especially grabbing the t-shirt from the laundry room in haste, seemed like a red flag. What troubled Blanca most was that the t-shirt had no iron marks, making it clear that Alec had changed clothes quickly and without his usual attention to detail.

6. The Odd Condition of the Kitchen and the Missing Pots

When Blanca walked into the kitchen to straighten up, she found that the pots, which should have been on the stove, were instead placed in the refrigerator. She found this curious and even commented on it during the trial, noting how strange it was that a man would put the lids on the pots and store them in the fridge. Later, she learned that it had been Mark Ball, a close associate of the Murdaughs, who had placed the pots in the fridge. This action led to suspicions about the events surrounding the murders and whether certain items were intentionally hidden or tampered with.

7. The Strangeness of the Dogs and the Sound of Water

Blanca knew the Murdaughs’ dogs well, and on the night of the murders, she found their behavior particularly odd. She heard the dogs barking but noticed that the sound wasn’t quite right. It was as if something — or someone — was out of place. The dogs typically responded to Alec, but this night, the barking seemed more intense. Additionally, Blanca heard water running, which seemed out of place. She speculated that someone might have been cleaning or hosing down evidence, though it was never confirmed.

8. The Scent of the House and the Unusual Calm

Upon arriving at the Murdaugh property after the murders, Blanca walked into the house and immediately felt an unsettling calm. She noted that it was different from the usual atmosphere in the Murdaugh household. The house, though always cold, felt unusually quiet. It wasn’t until later that she realized this strange sensation might have been the result of something much darker.

9. The Telltale Marks of the Shirt and the Khaki Pants

Blanca also noticed that Alec was wearing a wrinkled sports jacket, which was uncharacteristic of him. The small detail of his collar being out of place, which she quickly fixed, seemed inconsequential at the time. However, looking back, she realized it highlighted a subtle shift in Alec’s behavior. She also noted that Paul’s khaki pants were in the bathroom, with no clear explanation for how they ended up there. Blanca couldn’t remember whether there had been a shirt with the pants, but the sight of the damp towel in the room stuck with her.

10. The Inconsistencies in the Investigation and the Missing Evidence

Blanca was disturbed by how little attention was paid to certain details in the investigation. Specifically, the fact that she was never questioned about what she witnessed in the Murdaugh home. The investigators seemed to have overlooked crucial evidence, and the absence of a search warrant was particularly troubling to her. Blanca felt that the authorities had missed opportunities to properly investigate the scene, and she couldn’t help but wonder whether the case was mishandled from the start.

The Cleaners: A Mysterious Group of People

One of the most chilling parts of Blanca’s testimony was her mention of “the cleaners.” These were people who showed up on the Murdaugh property shortly after the murders, and their role in the investigation remains unclear. Blanca had her suspicions about who these individuals were, and though she did not name them directly, she hinted at their involvement in covering up crucial details of the case. The mention of the cleaners raised serious questions about the integrity of the investigation and whether there were forces working to protect Alec Murdoch.

The Missing Link

Blanca’s observations and testimony provide critical insight into the Murdaugh case. She saw things that others missed, such as Alec’s unusual behavior, the missing pots, and the strange markings on the clothing. Though she was not in a law enforcement role, Blanca’s perspective as someone who spent so much time in the Murdaugh home gives her unique insight into the events surrounding the murders. Her testimony adds to the growing suspicion that the case was mishandled and that there are still unanswered questions about the true events of June 7, 2021.

As we continue to unravel the details, the mysteries surrounding the Murdoch family deepens, and Blanca’s revelations could be key to finally bringing the truth to light.
