While Murdoch’s mother returned to her parent’s home, Murdoch indicated that he and his brother were not accepted since they were mixed-race. Murdoch and his brother stayed in a foster family for several years, during which time Murdoch was “obsessed” with changing his skin color in the hopes of being reunited with his family.
