Sunnyside at Murrells Inlet and the Bigham Avant murder case
A long Georgetown county homicide tale centers on the Sunnyside home near Murrells Inlet where Dr. Bigham was killed and Avant and Bigham were convicted of murder. Avant, later captured in Texas, returns to SC to serve a three year sentence while Bigham remains at large with authorities questioning motives, bonds, and possible life insurance schemes. The narrative weaves local lore of pirates, ghostly rooms, and a historic wave, with family histories and the fate of Sunnyside’s famed estate.
