We are back with another installment of the Murdaugh Murders. We cover the boat crash that took the life of Mallory Beach and set the downfall of the Murdaugh family in motion.

Finally, in March 1999, state Governor Beasley signed the bill that made the Spotted Salamander the South Carolina State Amphibian. Find us on the webs!
