Crime Stories with Nancy Grace

Stephen Smith's family is close to answers about his death as attorneys work to get approved to exhume Smith's body.  Smith's death was originally designated a hit-and-run, but something uncovered in the Alex Murdaugh double-murder investigation prompted the South Carolina Highway Patrol to reopen the investigation. Crime scene photos have been released by SLED and some graphic crime scene photos were leaked. What can we learn from them? Also, new information has been released concerning a rape kit reportedly performed on Smith during his autopsy.
