The Murdaugh murders took place at the kennels of Alex Murdaugh's vast hunting estate and lodge, a 1,770 piece of land adjoining his main home, 4147 Moselle (per Home Beautiful). The estate includes a log cabin where Paul had been living prior to his murder. Both Alex's wife and son were shot multiple times at the kennels with several different hunting weapons. Alex was later identified as the culprit when cellphone data and his son's Snapchat placed him at the scene of the crime, contrary to his testimony.
Following Alex's arrest in September 2021, the property was put up for sale in February 2022 by the Crosby Land Company, who advertised the estate as a vast forested area with 2.5 miles of river frontage, numerous outbuildings, and a four-bedroom lodge capable of housing up to 15 people. Designed for hunting, the estate is home to numerous deer and turkeys, as well as two manmade waterfowl impoundments created to attract wildlife. Even with the terrible murders that took place at the lodge, the property sold just over a year after it was listed. According to CBS News, the new owners — James A. Ayer and Jeffrey L. Godley — paid just over $3.9 million for the privilege.
