South Carolina woman inspired by Murdaugh double murder case crochets key figures

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCIV) — A South Carolina woman who has been following the Alex Murdaugh murder trial took her talents to the next level.

Stephanie Truesdale's crochets of Judge Clifton Newman, Creighton Waters, and Dr. Kenny Kinsey, marked her first attempt to create an amigurumi of a human, each doll taking roughly 12 to 15 hours to construct.

I've been following the Murdaugh story for a long time," Truesdale wrote.

Truesdale has listened to WCIV's The Murdaugh Murders, Money, & Mystery I Unsolved South Carolina podcast since the first episode.

Truesdale's deep interest in the Alex Murdaugh trial inspired her to crochet the dolls during President's Day Weekend.

She said while she had her preconceived ideas before the trial, she wanted to watch the trial first and see the evidence presented.

Truesdale said she received private messages indicating pictures of her work have been sent to Waters, Newman, and. Kinsey -- so there is a possibility they have seen the dolls.

She also said she received several requests to crochet more dolls, but she has no plans to do so now.

Her daughter requested that Truesdale crochet a sweater, so the doll-making is on hold for her.

Murdaugh was sentenced Friday to two consecutive life sentences a day after a jury found him guilty in the murders of his wife, Maggie and their son, Paul.
