In 2021, the double murders of 52 year old Maggie Murdaugh and her son, Paul, are being investigated by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.

What types of evidence will investigators be looking for?

South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED)’s investigation may include Gun Shot Residue (GSR) tests on the hands of the victims. GSR may or may not be present, depending on certain circumstances, such as how long the GSR was on the body, whether the body was alive, and/or whether the body was subjected to moisture.

South Carolina Law Enforcement Dvision (SLED) will also be looking at the autopsy results of Paul Murdaugh, age 22, and Maggie Murdaugh, age 52.
