An auction of items from a prominent estate picked up in Colleton County, South Carolina is set to take place in Georgia later this week. Liberty Auction, the company that will be selling the items, has confirmed that they once belonged to the Murdaugh family.
Alex Murdaugh is currently serving two consecutive life sentences for the murders of his wife and son, and has been charged with nearly 90 financial crimes including misappropriating money from his law firm, defrauding clients of funds, and computer crimes. Authorities also allege that he defrauded the family of his former housekeeper of a $4.5 million insurance settlement after she died in a mysterious slip-and-fall accident at his home.
It is unclear whether the items being auctioned off come from the family’s 1,770-acre estate in Islandton, S.C., where Maggie and Alex’s son, Paul Murdaugh, were found dead by the dog kennels on June 7, 2021. The auction company has not clarified the source of these items.
