COLUMBIA, S.C. — Days after his father was convicted and sentenced to two life terms for killing his wife and youngest son in 2021, Buster Murdaugh told the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office he was being harassed by national media photographers.
Sunday morning, Murdaugh, 26, called police to complain that a photo appeared in a New York Post article showing him through the blinds of his Hilton Head condo where he lives with his girlfriend, Brooklyn White.
The photo appears to have been taken at night with Murdaugh only visible through a gap between the blinds. After looking at their Ring Doorbell footage, the couple saw a “suspicious” car outside their home and told police, based on the car’s vantage point and where Murdaugh was in the home at the time, that they believe the driver of the car took the photo.
