EXCLUSIVE: Christy Murdaugh, wife of Alex Murdaugh's brother Randy, stopped by Liberty Auction in Pembroke, Georgia, Thursday morning to collect some of her family's belongings before they were purchased by bidders.
Among the items from the Murdaughs' Islandton, South Carolina, hunting estate Christy collected were snakeskin-print pillows featuring Maggie Murdaugh's monogrammed initials, sources told Fox News Digital.
Thursday's auction began at 4 p.m., but a large crowd began lining up outside the auction house before 9 a.m.
"We came out of curiosity just to look at the Murdaugh items," one attendee told Fox News Digital.
