Buster Murdaugh Denies Involvement in Stephen Smith's Death Amid Rumors.

Alex Murdaugh's surviving son, Buster, denies any involvement in the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, a case that has resurfaced since the murders of Murdaugh's mother and brother. Smith's family plans to exhume his body and conduct an independent autopsy after raising over $65,000 through a GoFundMe campaign. The family believes Smith was killed "somewhere else" before his body was "placed" in the middle of the road where he was later discovered. Buster Murdaugh has been targeted and harassed by the media and followers of the story, and he is requesting that the media stop publishing defamatory comments and rumors about him.
