"Murdaugh Estate Auction Sparks Frenzy Buying and Controversy"

Items belonging to the Murdaugh family, including the infamous "alibi couch," were auctioned off in Georgia. The couch set was purchased for $36,000 by Phillip Jennings III, who also bought several beds, tackle boxes, and duck decoys that belonged to the family. Other items sold included mounted long horns, lamps adorned with tortoise shells, and hunting gear. The proceeds from the auction and the sale of the Moselle estate will go to creditors with claims against the family, relatives of Mallory Beach and other passengers from Paul Murdaugh’s fatal 2019 boat crash, Murdaugh’s legal fees, and surviving son Buster Murdaugh, among others.
