Body of teenager in hit-and-run death near Murdaugh estate to be exhumed

Stephen Smith, 19, was hit by a vehicle in 2015 on a rural road, South Carolina investigators said. His family is seeking an independent autopsy for an "unbiased" review.

SLED said it was opening an inquiry into Smith's death "based upon information gathered during the course of the double murder investigation."

Investigators said in 2015 that it appeared Smith, 19, was hit by a vehicle while standing outside of his car after it had run out of gas, reported NBC affiliate WCBD in Charleston. The incident occurred in Hampton County, about 15 miles from the Murdaugh property known as Moselle.

Initially, Smith was found with a "defensive wound" on his hand, according to an investigator's report obtained by The Island Packet, and a homicide investigation was opened.

I just feel bad for the whole family. They were on a pedestal and it all came crumbling down. 100 years of power and it's all gone now.
I wouldn't be surprised if Alex kills himself in prison.

ha Alex Murdaugh is too full of narcissism to off himself. That entire family is messed in the head.

This will be the next big case, bringing down Buster. As well as the house keeper Gloria Satterfield.

Surprised that MDS doesn't have either of them with a forum/page started ??

[Bewitchingstorm]

Thank goodness it is now seen as a homicide. Can you imagine how many cases throughout the years have been homicides, but have been brushed away because of this family?
