) spokesperson Renée Wunderlich explained that Stephen Smith’s 2015 death is now being investigated as a homicide.attorneys Eric Bland and Ronnie Richter shared in a joint statement that they waited to announce Stephen's death being investigated as a homicide until after Alex Murdaugh's trial "out of concern that witnesses would not be as forthcoming under the Murdaugh sphere of influence.
In addition, Wunderlich explained that SLED has been looking into the details since 2021 when the case was reopened "based upon information gathered during the course of the double murder investigation of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh" according toWhile they did not expand on what that additional information was, we do know that a private investigator hired by Stephen's mother Sandy Smith discovered that he was linked to.
Buster Murdaugh has not been charged with Stephen Smith's death, but he recently made a statement about his rumored involvement. "I've tried my best to ignore the vicious rumors about my involvement in Stephen Smith’s tragic death that continue to be published in the media as I grieve over the brutal murders of my mother and brother," he said. "These baseless rumors of my involvement with Stephen and his death are false. I unequivocally deny any involvement in his death.
Peterson continued, "They weren't talking to anybody. So, we could have eliminated all that, at least in 2021, but leading up to that, you figure Stephen was found dead in 2015 and no one ever interviewed Buster. So, I don't understand that either."
