A lawyer from a prominent South Carolina legal family who found his wife and son shot to death at their home three months ago and was non-fatally shot in the head this weekend was taking money from his law firm, the business said late Monday.
The statement from the firm, Peters Murdaugh Parker Eltzroth Detrick, came hours after Alex Murdaugh said he was resigning and entering rehab. The law firm said it will hire an accounting firm to fully review its books. It didn't say how much money might be missing, but said Murdaugh was no longer associated with the group in any way.The Consumer Federal Protection Bureau last week launched an inquiry into what the agency is calling "junk fees in mortgage closing costs." These additional fees, involving home appraisal, title insurance and other services, have spiked in recent years and can add thousands of dollars to the final cost of buying a home.
Retired Maj. Gen. William Anders, the former Apollo 8 astronaut who took the iconic "Earthrise" photo showing the planet as a shadowed blue marble from space in 1968, was killed Friday when the plane he was piloting alone plummeted into the waters off the San Juan Islands in Washington state. He was 90.
