The Murdaugh family is facing two major legal battles, one involving a boat crash that killed a young woman and another involving the murder of a family member. Both cases are expected to have significant rulings in the near future. In the boat crash lawsuit, the family of the victim is seeking damages from the Murdaughs, who were allegedly driving the boat while intoxicated. In the murder appeal, Alex Murdaugh is appealing his indictment for the murder of his wife and son, claiming that he was set up by a former employee.
Items from the Moselle estate of the Murdaugh family, who have been embroiled in a high-profile murder case, have appeared on eBay the day after an auction. The items include furniture, artwork, and other household items, and it is unclear who is selling them.
Moselle, the crime scene where Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were killed, has been sold for $3.9 million. The proceeds will go towards paying off Murdaugh's surviving son and his alleged financial and civil victims. The settlement agreement outlines how the proceeds will be dispersed, with the balance of roughly $2.686 million going to clients involved in civil suits arising from the boat crash. Moselle's assets, including furniture, home decorations, and automobiles, were sold at a public auction. The former Murdaugh home and crime scene has become a mecca for true crime fans, and it is unclear what the future holds for the property.
The Moselle property of the Murdaugh estate, where Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were shot and killed in 2021, has been sold for $2,663,676. The estate was listed for sale in February 2022 for $3.9 million and features a farm, river frontage, dog kennels, and a custom-built home. Alex Murdaugh was convicted of the double-murder earlier this month and was sentenced to life in prison. An auction of the contents from the property went up for auction on Thursday in Pembroke, Georgia.
Stephen Smith's mother wrote a letter to the FBI in 2016 implicating the Murdaugh family in her son's death, which was initially ruled a hit-and-run. Sandy Smith and South Carolina Highway Patrol officers disagreed with the autopsy report's conclusion. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Agency opened a homicide investigation into Smith's death in June 2021, and SLED Chief Mark Keel recently told Smith's lawyers that the agency believes Smith was the victim of an intentional homicide. The 2016 letter alleges that the Murdaughs were involved in Smith's death and a subsequent cover-up. Buster Murdaugh denies any involvement in Smith's death.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is investigating the death of Stephen Smith as a homicide after reopening the case amid its investigation into the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Smith was found dead on a rural road in Hampton County on July 8, 2015, and his death was initially ruled a hit-and-run. However, the case went cold until a fatal boat crash involving former attorney Richard "Alex" Murdaugh's son Paul in 2019 brought it into the public spotlight. The law enforcement division reopened Smith’s case in June 2021 "based upon information gathered during the course of the double murder investigation of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh."
The body of Stephen Smith, a teenager found dead in a hit-and-run in 2015 near the Murdaugh estate, will be exhumed for an independent autopsy. The case has gained renewed interest in the wake of Alex Murdaugh's arrest and murder conviction. Smith's mother plans to use the funds raised on a GoFundMe page to pay for the exhumation and autopsy. The investigation into Smith's death was reopened by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) in June 2021, and SLED has announced that it remains active and ongoing. Smith's mother believes there is more to her son's death than a hit-and-run and wants an unbiased look at his body to determine the cause of death.
