Family to Exhume Body of Teen Found Dead Near Murdaugh Property.
TL;DR Summary
The family of Stephen Smith, a South Carolina teen found dead in 2015, has raised nearly $65,000 to exhume his body for an independent autopsy. Smith's death has ties to the Murdaugh family, and some investigators and Smith's family have questioned the initial conclusion that he was the victim of a hit-and-run. The case went cold until the recent conviction of Alex Murdaugh for killing his wife and son in 2021, which prompted the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division to reopen the investigation into Smith's death.
