those charges had to do with the mysterious death of the long-time housekeeper, gloria satterfield.said she tripped over the dogs and fell down the stepped. the family sued for damaged. they received $4 million in damages and didn't get a penny. this is murder did whose wife and son were murdered, gunned down outside the family hunting lodge earlier this summer. the same murdaugh that was fired from the family law firm accused of embezzling millions and the same murdaugh that staged his own murder. hiring his cousin to stage a hit on him shooting him in the head. there's six criminal cases involving the murdaugh family. for alex murdaugh, he's charged with fraud and theft at work and home. a lot of questions as he's a person of interest in the murder of his own wife and son. back to you. >> trace: thanks, steve. a lot of questions. let's bring in john douglas a retired fbi criminal profiler. he showed "the killer next door" that airs here at 10:00 p.m. on fox. alex murdaugh's attorney says he has done some bad things but he's not a bad man. he's not a killer. you have a lot of crimi

going back, the whole idea that the satterfield family, the money, they lost their mom, lost the moneyhis also maybe reopen the fact that the allegation is she tripped over a dog and fell down a flight of stairs, does this investigation possibly reopen at some point? >> well, they are looking at that. what they have been focusing on is the civil case, our claims that we brought. i said from the by beginning that this case was going to be the epicenter and would start the domino effect to bring down alex and it did. because it's an easy provable crime. we have the checks, know where they -- it's breach of truth, it's death. we don't have to stretch our imagination to know that it's probably income tax evasion. he didn't report that money. it involves banks. so i don't think this is the end. i think this is the beginning of the charges that will be brought against alex in this matter. and i think he's going to have a whole host of problems along with other people that let this tremendous breach of truth take place. >> i know this is not your bailiwick but you talked about the dominoes fa

essentially, as you pointed out, the misappropriation of court settlement funds in the death of gloria satterfieldhe home in 2019. there were real questions raised by the coroner recently about how that woman may have died. regardless, there was a settlement in that case for her family in which they were supposed to receive a significant sum of money as a result of a lawsuit. the settlement was made, but the money never arrived to the family. in fact, they say to this date they have not received a single penny, and it seems right now that what law enforcement is alluding to is the fact that that money was actually taken by alex murdaugh. where did that money go and what did he use the money for? many believe the drug addiction, opioid addiction that he admitted to, wouldn't account for millions of dollars because he's also now being investigated for allegedly stealing money from his own law firm and then, of course, there's the tragic deaths of his wife and son back in june. there are so many questions about this case. this is just one step, but he is under arrest again, kate. >> unbelievable on t

family founded 100 years ago the night before because of missing money, possibly including that satterfieldon the side of the road in a very rural area and says that somebody came by and tried to kill him and now says, oh, i did that to try to shoot myself to claim insurance money again, in this case, for buster, the surviving son. so it's just very, very strange and i think to your point, michael, about the john grisham aspect of this, i think one of the things that makes it so interesting is just -- you just don't know what's going to happen next. we have no idea where we're headed here, and i think that makes it fascinating. >> and also, it makes you wonder whether the families of the victims can be treated fairly in the system given the influence that the murdaughs have had for a century. take the final word on that. >> well, i'm so glad you brought that up because i think this is what makes the story so compelling, like the generational nature of the power accumulated by this family. if they were the district attorney for five county area in the south carolina low country for a hundred

never got anything the attorneys representing satterfield's son say it's not over everyone accountableir duties. murdaugh's attorney says his client intends to fully cooperate with this investigation, as he has with the investigation into the murder of his wife and son so once again, murdaugh has been arrested, right now he's still in jail in florida in orange county he'll be sent to south carolina tomorrow, shep, for a bond hearing. >> perry live in our boston newsroom >> authorities are now calling that bow and arrow attack and rampage that killed five people in norway yesterday an act of terrorism. police say the attacker is this man, a 37-year-old danish citizen. authorities say he targeted a supermarket and other spots in the quiet town and that he killed four women and one man and wounded three others police describe him as a muslim convert and said there had been worries of the man having been radicalized. flags lowered to half staff today. people created a memorial with flowers, candles, and stuffed animals in the town's central square >> drug overdoses. they're killing a stunn
