The Murdaugh family might not be out of the woods just yet… The family of Stephen Smith, who was just 19 when he was killed, has big plans to reopen the investigation into the teen’s suspicious death.
As true crime junkies might know, the nursing student’s body was found on Sandy Run Road in Hampton County, South Carolina on July 8, 2015, near Alex Murdaugh’s property.
Authorities initially believed he was killed in a hit-and-run, but later ruled the death a homicide based on new evidence discovered during the disgraced lawyer’s murder trial.
