Alex Murdaugh's prison love letters: 'I think about you all day'
Netflix producer sent message inviting Murdaugh to be interviewed for documentary
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh has received a deluge of love letters and offers of friendship from smitten strangers as he languishes in prison for the murders of his wife and son.
"I think I love you," wrote Nicole K. on March 12, according to messages obtained by FitsNews through a public records request. "I think about you all day everyday."
The message was sent just 10 days after a Colleton County jury convicted the scion of a once-powerful legal dynasty of gunning down his wife, Maggie, 52, and son, Paul, 22, to hide his decade-long financial schemes.

The messages, which Murdaugh received during his brief stay at the intake facility Kirkland Correctional Institution, were mostly from women.

In subsequent missives, Lacie expressed concern for Murdaugh's distress at being "locked in a concrete room all day, everyday" and her belief in his innocence.
"I am here if you want to talk. Or vent. XXLacie," she wrote, undeterred by Murdaugh's silence.

Other fans of the convicted killer hailed from Louisiana, Florida and Tennessee — some offering to put cash in his commissary, help with legal research for his appeal or send a photo "to put a face to a name."
Shianne D. called herself a "bored 31-year-old female" who thought Murdaugh could use a "non-judgmental friend."

"He has no girlfriend in prison, out of prison, anywhere," Murdaugh's lawyer Jim Griffin said. "He's received messages, letters and a lot of support. To my knowledge he has not responded to any of them. He's also received unsolicited contributions to his canteen account."
