About this episode
While a lot of the recent news has focused on Alex Murdaugh, who is neck-deep in suspicion from his little 'roadside shooting' incident, client theft allegations and murdered family, we want to make this episode 9 about Stephen Smith. Because his life mattered too. Join investigative journalist Mandy Matney , as we discuss the Murdaugh name which was brought up more than 40 times during the course of the investigation of Stephen Smith’s death in 2015. As a result of their investigation into the homicides of Maggie and Paul, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) reopened Smith's 2015 death investigation, now publicly linking it to the Murdaugh name. Smith was found dead with severe head trauma, and rumors documented in the police investigation file implicated a connection to Buster Murdaugh and others. In this episode, we’ll hear SCHP patrol investigator Todd Proctor interviewing several Hampton kids about Stephen ’s death... and we'll pull at those threads wherever they lead....
