Maggie Murdaugh Was ‘Lured’ To Moselle On The Night Of Her Murder, Sources Say
She was hesitant to go, but ultimately decided it was the right thing to do …

Multiple sources close to the investigation have also confirmed to FITSNews that, prior to June 7, and at the time of her death, Maggie Murdaugh was living apart from her husband and alone at her
Edisto Beach home.
FITSNews has been unable to independently confirm reports that Maggie met with a divorce attorney prior to the murders. However, a meeting like this would not have been inconsistent with what multiple sources have described as the strained status of their relationship — in part, because of a rumored affair Alex was having with another attorney.
Additionally, on the evening of June 7, Maggie drove to
Moselle — the family’s 1,700-acre hunting property in Islandton, S.C. (about an hour and fifteen minutes from their Edisto Beach house) — because Alex had asked her to meet him there.
In other words, Maggie was “lured” to what would be the site of her murder, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.
These same sources say Maggie had expressed her hesitancy to meet with her estranged husband to at least three other people in her life, but ultimately decided it was the right thing to do.
It is unclear whether this information would have been contained on Maggie Murdaugh’s
iPhone, which was found in the woods a short distance from Moselle on the day after the murders by investigators with the 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office – and with help from Alex Murdaugh’s younger brother,
John Marvin Murdaugh.
Paul Murdaugh’s phone was found with his body, sources say.
The reason Alex said he wanted his wife at Moselle:
Randolph Murdaugh III was dying and Alex wanted Maggie to visit him and his mother, who has dementia, at their Varnville home, multiple sources have confirmed.
