PEMBROOK, Ga. - Just before 9 a.m. Thursday, a crowd began to line up outside Liberty Auction in Pembroke, Georgia, in anticipation of an afternoon auction featuring items from the Murdaugh family's South Carolina Lowcountry hunting estate, where Alex Murdaugh killed his wife and son in 2021."We came out of curiosity just to look at the Murdaugh items," one attendee told Fox News Digital, as was the consensus for most people at the event.
Doors opened at noon, and by the time the auction began at 4 p.m., buyers found it difficult to move about inside the stuffy building.
By the time bidding started, those who purchased items had to duck in and around other people to pick up their new belongings.Items from Alex Murdaugh’s Moselle estate were auctioned off in Pembroke, Georgia on March 23, 2023.
