Buster Murdaugh Denies Involvement in Death of Gay ‘Hit and Run’ Victim Stephen Smith as Exhumation, Autopsy Loom
The scion of the Murdaugh family broke his silence and denounced ‘vicious’ and ‘defamatory’ rumors linking him to Smith’s death.
The elder son of Alex Murdaugh, Buster Murdaugh, spoke out to deny his involvement in the 2015 death of Stephen Smith, 19, after a Netflix series focusing on his father’s crimes brought renewed attention to another mysterious death in the South Carolina Low Country.
“I have 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,” Mr. Murdaugh, 26, said Monday. “I love them so much and miss them terribly.”
