The death of 19-year-old Stephen Smith received renewed attention during the Alex Murdaugh family murders trial. After the disgraced lawyer was convicted, investigators reopened Smith’s death investigation, labeling it a homicide and even noting two people of interest in the case. The South Carolina man was found dead in the middle of the road in Hampton County in 2015 and later laid to rest by his family. His mother, Sandy Smith, successfully raised funds to exhume his body for a second autopsy, which was quietly performed over the weekend. The Law&Crime Network’s Angenette Levy discusses the autopsy and investigation with Dr. D’Michelle DuPre, one of the pathologists who conducted the autopsy, and Dr. Kenneth Kinsey, who helped convict Alex Murdaugh.

Buster had something to do with it & the Murdagh family has covered a lot up.
It is taking way to long, they are not in any hurry to solve this. Why are they stringing the public along.
Rest In Peace Stephen, Heart breaks, Prayers lifted for His Mother.
Love the people who helped ms smith on go fund me…blessings to them
Now I go to time out for telling the truth. This is a case of faggot flippy floppy
Well, its obvious this is a faggot pee pee sucking murder case. Buster is a faggot and he killed the sissy boy.
Love to sound of Angenettes voice. You are a great reporter and you have a very clear, easy- and nice voice to listen to!
Thank you for a great channel, objective reporting and awesome content!
Smith's body was left in the middle of the road with the hope that a car would strike him and "prove" It was hit and run.
What is the shocking turn? I'm talking about the title.
Mrs. Smith is such a classy lady.
Your microphone is not connected to an XLR. How's that done? Is it a USB connection?
Cool
Why did the Murdaugh’s go to the parents demanding all of the victim’s electronics. And the Murdaugh’s always show up at these death scenes, seemed very suspicious. It had to be done by someone Murdaugh is associated with
I think at the time they have more answers than what they are sharing because the investigation is still going on. I think they are sharing what they can. But I'm glad they are still working to get the answers and aren't rushing the case. I'm glad they are looking at everything. I hope the family gets the answers they need to find closer and start the healing.
People like her makes me sick… I am here to bet anyone that this is what IRS all going to boil down to…. Her making millions of her dead son….
It sure is a shame how this mother was all smiles at the grave of her dead son… She had her own people there taking videos and pictures.. So i see her making money off her dead son… In movies and interviews and publicity she's already making money off of people own go fund me… It's all about her making money that's why the big big smiles own her face… She's sure a good actor… I wonder who she'll pick go play her in the movie… You bet my words that's what this is mostly about from her….. Money money money!!!!!
Stickin' it to the man.
That has got to be so hard on the parents watching their child that they had to watch him being unearth and have to watch him being put back in the ground. I cant even comprehend how hard this is got to be on them.
Justice for Stephen and his family
I believe he was dump out in the road and was trying to get up out of the road and was hit
JUSTICE FOR STEPHEN SMITH IT HAS TO BE SOMEONE FROM PAUL MURDAGUAH Family! like come on really …😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 buster i think helped in the killings of his mother and brother and this Young man ! Buster soon will be sharing a cell with his deranged 😢 father
I've tho ugh iy was buster
I sense some corruption in SC judicial and law enforcement agencies
Thanks Law & Crime sidebar for keeping us subscribers updated on current cases
Blessings Ms Smith Family and Friends
âš–âš–JUSTICE for Stephen Smith âš–âš–
Let’s be real here. A male who dies his hair blonde, wears makeup and purses his lips on selfies posted all over his social media, especially in rural communities, is going to have a lot of possible suspects.
So when do we hear the results
This is sooooo disgustingly sick, horrible, to think a family loses a loved one and they have to go through this!! And after 8yrs!? WTH! The more I hear and see people murdering others, especially their own loved ones, I'm totally lost for words! It seems so messed up, people are so corrupt in this world it's pathetic!!! I Pray🙠anyone who knows even a tiny bit of information and you don't think it's of any importance, PLEASE, PLEASE, COME FORWARD!!! It could be the missing lil piece that's needed!! I Pray🙠the family gets all the answers they need to try and move forward with the pain that'll never leave their heartsðŸ’â€and I Pray🙠you
R.I.P. STEPHENðŸ’â€Ã°Å¸Â¤Â🕊… NH
I don't think the murdaughs were involved. I am glad that light has been brought to Stephen Smiths case let's hope we get answers. In my opinion if someone did hit Stephen with a car and failed to render aid or call authorities then it's still murder.
Wishing PEACE and comfort to Stephen's family and friends 🙠â¤︠God bless! Hope JUSTICE ⚖︠WILL PREVAIL
The gas cap and gas compartment being open on his car seems odd to me, seems staged. Why would someone open the gas compartment and gas cap when knowing they're out of gas until they return with gas to put in the vehicle?
Praying thatâš–ï¸Ââš–ï¸Âpervile 🕊ï¸Â🕊ï¸Â🕊ï¸Â
Why so many umms, umms, umms
OK I’ve seen the same thing several times and you guys obviously don’t have any new news in and I don’t appreciate you wasting my time
I know of several bodies found on the road, yet they were homosides!!
No debris, in the road, assumptions made which led the original autopsy. Makes me wonder if perhaps he was pushed out of the bed of a moving pickup truck.
No one in that part of South Carolina dared to do a proper investigation. They all were bowed to the Murdaugh Mob who ruled it for 100 years!
Smith was on cell phone person claims hearing truck tires humming before call dropped
The ball was dropped 8 years ago! What good does the re-examination of a scene from 2015 do? They never preserved the scene to begin with. I cannot see any use of re-examining an 8 year old potential crime scene that was not preserved. Now, the new autopsy could speak volumes. I hope and pray there will be justice for Stephen Smith and his family
May this child and his mother find peace.
I don't like the way she refers to Steven as an it was transported he was transported not yet he is a person
Just goes to show how people with enough money and power can literally cover up a crime. So very sad for this family 😢 I hope they put a hate crime on top of whoever murdered and anyone helped cover it up, and anyone not coming forward with info.
Justice for Stephen. My heart â¤︠goes out to that family.
justice for stephen smith and his family..
I go to comments so I don't have to listen . Help me out here .
The officer who was first on the scene said he did not think he was hit by a car. He said no way that was what happened to this kid.
Does Stephen's mother have to attend this gruesome exercise. Really, I mean seriously??
So the mother of this young man had to raise funds herself to have her sons 2nd autopsy done, how inhumane of the authorities to not just do it after the trial of Murtagh. Hope the mother of the young man will get justice for him. Saying the first autopsy was thorough, obviously not, no debris on the road well said this lady saying it like it is.
SO ALL THIS FOR NOTHING. 8 YEARS LATER AND NOTHING NEW. WE WILL NEVER CONVICT THE KILLER. THIS IS SAD.
2:42 TLDR version: The autopsy results have not yet been released.
The medical examinaner is so pretty she has a gorgeous smile. Boy she was a baddie in college I bet.
