In Murdaugh family scandal, tiny South Carolina town shaken
HAMPTON, S.C. (AP) — Ask any of the 2,600 residents in this South Carolina town whether they know Alex Murdaugh, and you’ll probably get a quick nod. Alex Murdaugh’s father, grandfather and great-grandfather were the elected prosecutors for 87 years straight. Alex Murdaugh’s father was grand marshal of the parade of the town’s marquee Watermelon Festival several years ago. Alex Murdaugh’s great-grandfather, Randolph, founded the family law firm and in 1920 became the elected prosecutor for the five-county region that includes Hampton County. Alex Murdaugh, 53, remains in an out-of-state rehab facility awaiting trial on charges of insurance fraud and filing a false police report.
