Do any of you Low-Country-Locals have any insight into

this Murdaugh family situation. I've never seen so many efforts from authorities to say nothing while appearing to say something.

A year or two ago the murdaugh kid killed a girl in a drunken boat crash. There were no consequences for that crash and the boy got away. That girl’s family sued everyone in their momma who was related to the crash. Bars restaurants other families hoping for some kind of accountability and justice. I don’t think she won any of the cases and as of now her daughter seems to have died in vain. Because of the murdaugh families power she was written off. Fast forward to a few weeks ago….(the two homicide victims the boy who crashed the boat and his mom) now mysteriously show up murdered.
Seems like a walterboro hit job…

That is correct. The case had not been tried.

There have been no civil or criminal trials yet.

There won't be a criminal trial now. The delay in the criminal trial and the Murdaugh boy's relative freedom probably factors in the shooting. Mom most likely a wrong place wrong time victim.

Walterboro?!!! Been there one time in my life. Stopped at a gas station off 95 and made a phone call home (pay phone...years ago). I heard screaming. A guy comes running by the phone booth with another guy chasing him...and firing shots from a pistol! I ended my call early and got out of that place.

Yeah that place is like the wild Wild West. The family has 2000 acre hunting lodge and compound about 20-30 mins south from walterboro. The girl that was killed was from Beaufort I think. It’s a crazy story almost movie like. Sad for both families as they both lost very young loved ones.

I lived and worked in Beaufort in the early 80’s and knew the Murdaugh family somewhat. Walterboro was the place that taught me that anywhere you have motel clusters at interstate interchanges, you will have prostitutes. There were several regulars who would stand at intersections near I-95 in walterboro or ridgeland, wearing bright dresses with large flowers in their hair. I worked with SCDHEC and we inspected sewage treatment plants. There was a small “package” plant serving a truck stop in the area. Every time we inspected that plant, we saw dozens of used syringes, other drug paraphernalia and hundreds of rubbers. It could never function properly because it stayed clogged with condoms.

I take exception to your description of Walterboro. I have lived here 70 years with the exception of my time at Clemson. It is no worse than any other town in SC. Small town with great people. Come visit.

Apologies as I don't mean to hijack this thread, but shortly after I graduated from high school, in the early 80's, my father decided I needed a nice new suit. He drove me about 50 miles to Walterboro to get a suit at Warshaw's. That was a great suit, and I remember Warshaw's as being as nice a clothing store as I've ever been in. Are they still around?

Warshaws is not longer in business. AND this is a great community to live in - crime is everywhere you go any more. I've lived here since 1963 with a 5 year span of living in Atlanta. Now that is QUITE different than here in Walterboro!!

The fried chicken is the is the old crisco method of fried chicken. Wouldn’t want to eat it every day but worth the venture every year on the way to the beach.
