More than 100 people flock to Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's grave over the weekend trends now
More than a hundred people attended the graves of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh on Sunday afternoon after Alex Murdaugh was found guilting of murdering them - his wife and son.
The two graves in Hampton Cemetery, South Carolina, were visited by people from near and far looking to pay respects to the mother and son, who some said had been overlooked in recent months.
Those that attended were described as respectful, according to Fox News Digital, and unlike the hordes that showed up to the murder scene last month after a Netflix series aired.
