Unsolved Murdaugh shootings yield misconduct claim, conflicting accounts -- and more questions
In the wooded darkness, deputies in South Carolina's coastal Lowcountry cut across the sprawling hunting lodge property known by locals as Moselle. There, on the night of June 7, they uncovered a grisly murder scene: a mother and son shot multiple times, their lifeless bodies lying on the ground near the family's dog kennels.
A frantic 911 call had been placed by Alex Murdaugh, a personal injury attorney, at 10:07 p.m. His voice quivered as he told a dispatcher that his wife, Margaret, and son, Paul, were not breathing.
"I've been gone," Alex Murdaugh said. "I just came back."
"It's bad."
The incident, later classified by state investigators as a double homicide, remains unsolved three months later. Furthermore, the unanswered questions around the slayings have only scratched the surface of a winding saga embroiling the Murdaughs, a well-connected and prominent legal family that exerted power for nearly a century in southeastern South Carolina, and put a deeper focus on scion Alex Murdaugh.
