PEMBROKE, Ga. — The latest chapter of the Murdaugh story takes an interesting turn as items from the family estate go up for bid at a Georgia auction house Thursday.
Liberty Auction in Pembroke, Georgia posted photos of items from "a prominent estate picked up in Colleton County, South Carolina."
WLTX was able to independently confirm items marked 3-35 are from the Murdaugh estate, owned by Alex and Maggie.
The auction site has photos of leather sofas, monogrammed pillows, tortoiseshell lamps, and hunting lodge-themed crockery among the items up for bid.
The auction will be in-person at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 23, at the Liberty Auction warehouse at 101 S Industrial Blvd in Pembroke, Georgia. Pembroke is in Bryan County -- about three hours south of Columbia.
Alex and Maggie Murdaugh's 1,772-acre Moselle estate is under contract for $3.9 million, according to the brokerage site.
On March 3, a Colleton County jury found Alex Murdaugh guilty of the June 7, 2021 murders of his wife Maggie and his younger son Paul. Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to two life sentences in that case.
He is still facing almost 100 charges for financial crimes where he has admitted to stealing money from clients and former law partners.
Murdaugh is also facing a civil suit involving the family of Mallory Beach, the University of South Carolina student killed in a boat wreck where Paul Murdaugh was the alleged driver. That case is scheduled to go to court on Aug. 14, 2023.
