Buster Murdaugh | South Carolina law enforcement to investigate Stephen Smith's death as homicide: attorney | K3ZGAMING
An attorney for Sandy Smith, the mother of Stephen Smith whose death was originally ruled a hit-and-run, said Tuesday that the head of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) does not believe the 19-year-old was killed by vehicular accident but instead died by intentional homicide. Smith’s car broke down just miles from the Murdaugh family’s South Carolina hunting estate, and he was a classmate of Buster Murdaugh. South Carolina State Highway Patrol said the 19-year-old died by a hit-and-run, but Sandy Smith said her son would have "walked through the woods" on his way home if his car was not working instead of walking along the side of the road. She also said her son would not have left his wallet in the broken-down vehicle, as investigators determined in 2015.
