"Unveiling the Truth: The Mysterious Death of Stephen Smith in Murdaugh Country"

Forensic pathologist Michelle DuPre claims that South Carolina teenager Stephen Smith, who had ties to the Murdaugh family, died from a "single blow to the forehead" and not from a hit-and-run as previously believed. DuPre speculates that Smith was killed in the roadway due to the location and size of the fracture in his skull. She dismisses rumors that Smith was beaten with a baseball bat and denies that his body was dumped at the scene. Smith's case was reclassified as a homicide in 2021 after new evidence emerged during the investigation into the shooting deaths of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Smith's mother has long sought a second opinion on her son's death.
