Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh appears to be receiving support from admirers.
Fox News shared letters Murdaugh received from admirers that were first obtained by FitsNews.
“I know you don’t know me but it’s on my heart to message you… I’m a 21 year old female from NC and I’m also an addict but I just want you to know that I believe you… my boyfriend of 5 years had the same thing happen to him on Sept 22 2021.. I really feel for you and I’m here for you..” a woman named Summer wrote last month.
A woman named Shianne said to Murdaugh she “felt like I should reach out and say hi.”
The letter continues, “To be honest I have no idea why. I figured that you may need a non‐judgmental friend and I can be that if you’re interested. We don’t have to talk about anything specific. I’m not
affiliated with any news outlet or social media outlet. Nothing like that at all. I’m a bored 31 year old female that decided to write a letter to someone who could use a friend too.”
Shianne suggested, “If you’re interested in chatting feel free to write back. If it will let me attach a picture of myself to this I’ll add one. Just so you can put a face to a name. That’s only fair right? I don’t want to go into too much detail about myself in the event you decline the communication attempt. I truly hope to hear back.”
A woman named Laken attempted to comfort Murdaugh by sharing she “was sentenced to 6 months in the county jail. I’ve heard most prisons are easier than county jail.”
The letter continues, “So I hope it isn’t too bad for you. It’s a terrible feeling..you have no control of anything and you feel like your life stops but everyone else moves on. I think of you often. Keep you’re head up! If you ever need to talk I’m just a message away!”
Another woman named Nicolette told Murdaugh, “I think I love you…” adding, “I think about you all day everyday.”
Among the other messages is one from a Netflix producer suggesting Murdaugh should sit down with the streaming service for an interview.
“This is producer from the NETFLIX documentary that aired a couple weeks ago. I have been in communication with Amanda Loveday since fall of 2021 and understand at that time we could not talk to you. We feel at this point its very important to have your voice in the remember of our series,” the man named Mike said.
He continued, “Our first 3 Episodes was viewed by 40 million households and also 75 million hours watched in just 10 days. Those number will continue to rise. We believe you can have the largest platform on TV if you are willing to speak to us. We are willing to take the time to make sure your story is told to this audience. We spoke to your Opiod addiction in the first part of our series which is something we are familiar with. We did a documentary called The Pharmacist for Netflix about the Opiod epidemic.”
Last month, a judge sentenced Murdaugh to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murders of his wife and son.

Over the weekend, a state Department of Corrections spokesperson confirmed to CBS News Murdaugh was moved to a statewide protective custody unit of a South Carolina maximum-security prison.
He is currently in an 8-by-10-foot cell with a bed, toilet and sink.
