Now, Alec woke up late and alone on the day of the murders.
According to author Valerie Bauerlein, Maggie was not living at Moselle by this point.
Instead, Maggie was out at the beach house in Edisto, about an hour away.
The only person at Moselle who was tending to Alec on June 7th was the housekeeper they'd hired after Gloria died.
This woman, a former prison guard, was Blanca Simpson.
Blanca was coming over that afternoon to stock up on Capri Suns for Alec, specifically Orange Pineapple Tango and Mountain Cooler, because Alec got grumpy if the fridge wasn't always stocked with his favorite flavors.
Now we're getting into the Twinkie defense.
Blanca showed up a little afternoon with the Capri Suns to find Alec getting ready for work.
But she noticed that he looked extremely tired and disheveled, like he was still wearing his clothes from the night before.
Blanca therefore fixed his collar and sent him out the door to his job at PMPED at about 1230 in the afternoon.
She started screaming and then electricity.
Wow.
Now, we don't know for sure if Alec woke up that day planning to murder Maggie and Alec.
I actually don't think he did.
I actually don't think he was planning it that day.
I think he was waiting for the day.
Yep.
What we do know is that one more pressure point, perhaps the biggest one of all, was put on Alec just after he arrived late to work that afternoon.
Because Alec had fucked up at PMPED the same way that he'd fucked up with attorney Mark Tensley.
You don't fuck with a lawyer's money.
