In 2015, Stephen Smith was killed in Hampton County, South Carolina and the case remains unsolved...
On this second installment of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, investigative Journalist Mandy Matney discusses the Stephen Smith case, highlighting the 2180 days his family has waited for justice.
We detail the chaotic 2015 investigation, noting the lack of evidence suggesting a hit-and-run, despite a pathologist's ruling. Smith's body was found with severe head trauma, but no other significant injuries.
The case was complicated by jurisdictional issues and conflicting reports. Rumors linked the Murdaugh family to Smith's death, but investigators failed to connect the dots or substantiate any of the claims. Plus, we shed light on some other recent developments including a $100,000 reward offered by the Murdaugh family and the discovery of Maggie Murdaugh's cell phone.
On this episode, we take a deep dive into case files to find out what went wrong in that investigation and how its connected to the Murdaugh Murders of 2021.
