The surviving son of murderer Alex Murdaugh finally spoke out after his father’s conviction on Monday—to slam “vicious rumors” involving him and another mysterious South Carolina death.
In a statement, Buster Murdaugh denied any connection to the July 2015 death of 19-year-old Stephen Smith, whose body was found just miles from the Murdaugh family estate. While his death was deemed suspicious, a medical examiner ultimately concluded that Smith died from a hit-and-run and no one was ever charged in the case.
On Monday, Smith’s mother and new lawyers announced “a new investigation” into the teenager’s death, which will begin with an exhumation and an independent autopsy.
