Smith’s body was removed from his grave, re-examined in a second autopsy and returned to his final resting place, attorney Eric Bland tweeted Sunday.
The 19-year-old was found dead, with head trauma, on the side of a road in Hampton County on July 8, 2015 in what investigators at the time ruled a hit-and-run.Last month — nearly eight years later — the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division reclassified his death as a homicide after investigators found “new evidence” about the teenager’s final moments in the course of their probe into the 2021 murders of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh.
“I now believe that Stephen can really rest at ease because SLED and our team are going to do everything possible to find out just how he died,” Bland said in his tweet.He also announced that the late teen’s mother Sandy Smith is offering a $35,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for her son’s death.Much of the more than $100,000 raised was used to fund the exhumation and private autopsy of Smith’s body.
Smith’s mysterious death gained renewed attention after the closely watched trial of patriarch Alex Murdaugh for the shooting deaths of his son and wife on the family’s property.Smith’s body was found laying in the street not far from the 1,700-acre estate and the teen was a high school classmate of Alex Murdaugh’s surviving son Buster.
Sandy Smith linked Buster — who was rumored to have had a romantic relationship with Smith, who was gay — to her son’s murder
