The Murdaugh double murders took place at the family’s rural hunting estate known as Moselle , located at 4147 Moselle Road in Islandton, Colleton County, South Carolina, with the bodies found by the dog kennels on the property.

Main crime scene

  • The estate is a large hunting and farm property commonly called Moselle Farm , spanning roughly 1,700+ acres in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
  • Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were found shot to death near the dog kennels by the hunting lodge on this property, not inside the main house.

Address and setting

  • The full address repeatedly cited in public records and reporting is 4147 Moselle Road, Islandton, South Carolina.
  • The property includes woods, fields, river frontage, and outbuildings such as kennels and hunting areas, which feature prominently in accounts of the murders and the later jury visit to the scene.

Related deaths often mentioned

  • The 2019 boat crash that killed Mallory Beach occurred at Archers Creek Bridge near Beaufort, South Carolina, about an hour from Moselle, and is frequently discussed with the Murdaugh murders in documentaries and news coverage.
  • Other deaths linked to the broader Murdaugh saga, such as Stephen Smith (found on a rural road in Hampton County) and housekeeper Gloria Satterfield (injured at the Moselle home), also took place in the same South Carolina region.
