COLUMBIA, S.C. — Ongoing media attention following the conviction of his father for double murder has prompted Buster Murdaugh to ask the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office that he not be associated with future police reports.
As a result of nationwide media attention, Murdaugh and his girlfriend, Brooklyn White, have filed police reports complaining of being followed by paparazzi and even photographed through gaps in the blinds of their own home.
Richard “Buster” Alexander Murdaugh Jr., Alex and Maggie Murdaugh’s oldest son, has been living on Hilton Head during his father’s trial in the murders of his brother and mother in June 2021. Since the murders, the family, which was well-known in the Lowcountry for its 100-year legal dynasty and previously occupying the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office, has been put under a microscope from national and international media outlets since.
