A South Carolina woman confessed to killing her father after lying to police that he was shot by an intruder!

Brittany Simpson allegedly told local authorities, as well as her family, that she had been at the gym early in the morning and had seen someone leaving the house through an open back door as she returned home.

Robert Simpson, a retired film producer, was shot to death in his bedroom, while his wife, Susan, and other family members were asleep elsewhere in the home.

“Someone just came in the back door,” Brittany reportedly said during a 911 call placed by her sister. “Someone just came right in.”

Susan Simpson told area police she saw her daughter walk through the front door shortly after the shooting — and became suspicious as she knew her father had been shot before anyone in the family told her.

She had previously requested and was awarded a court-ordered eviction notice for her daughter — and had given her 24 hours to move out of the home.

Investigators recovered a gun beneath the water in a creek near the home that was wrapped in clothes belonging to Brittany Simpson.

She was arrested and charged with murder when she later admitted to the killing.
