Murder and mystery in South Carolina: A timeline of the Murdaugh family killings
CNN
For 87 years, the Murdaugh family name came to represent a legal dynasty in coastal South Carolina, where three successive generations controlled the local prosecutor's office.
But in recent years, the family has been closely connected to bloody tragedy. There was a fatal boating crash in 2019, the killings of two family members in June, the shooting of a family member last week and allegations of fraud and drug abuse. No one has yet been arrested in the shootings, but authorities have pledged to get to the bottom of them. And the investigation has taken them in unexpected directions; while looking into the killings, investigators decided to reopen an unsolved death case from 2015.More Related News
