Smith’s body will be exhumed seven years after it was found in the middle of a South Carolina road in a suspicious scene.
Lawyers probing the mysterious death of Murdaugh-linked Stephen Smith say the crime scene showed no signs he was hit by a car and the investigation into his passing was improperly handled.
Sandy quickly raised over $68,000 to fund an independent exhumation and autopsy for her son after the March 3 conviction of disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh for murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul in cold blood as part of his scheme to hide his financial problems and drug addiction.Sources have previously claimed the prominent family had used their influence to get various family out of legal trouble.
Stephen’s lawyers said they “maintain the SLED should have been and is the proper investigative agency for Stephens death. SLED re-opened the investigation into Stephen’s death in June 2021, saying they had come across new information while investigating the shootings of Maggie and Paul, although they have yet to disclose what that information is., although the Murdaugh name was mentioned to officers many times in the early days of investigating Stephen’s death, it was never included in any police reports and no-one from the family was ever interviewed about it.
“It’s about trying to get answers to questions that his mother desperately needs answers for,” he said. “So, there’s no reason to discuss Buster Murdaugh, and there’s no comment to make back.”The official police narrative of Stephen’s death was that his car had run out of gas and he had been walking on the road. The car was discovered over three miles away from where his body was found with his wallet inside and the gas-cap open.
