    The family of Mallory Beach says a Parker's convenience store in South Carolina neglected to verify the age and identity of Paul Murdaugh when he bought alcohol there in February 2019 and was later Murdaugh driving a boat when it crashed, killing Beach.

    Four years after 19-year-old Mallory Beach died in a boat crash in South Carolina, her family and people who survived the crash have reached a multimillion-dollar settlement with Parker's, the convenience store chain that sold alcohol to an underage Paul Murdaugh hours before he piloted the boat.
