Alex Murdaugh admits to lying about dogs causing housekeeper's fatal fall.

Alex Murdaugh, the former South Carolina lawyer serving a life sentence for killing his wife and son, admitted to "inventing" the story about a dog causing his housekeeper's fatal fall at the family’s hunting property in 2018, according to court documents. The story was fabricated to force his insurers to make a settlement payment. The admission was made as part of a lawsuit filed against Murdaugh by an insurance company accusing him of committing insurance fraud in relation to the housekeeper's fall.
