Investigative Journalist Mandy Matney discusses the Stephen Smith case, highlighting the 2194-day wait for justice and the reopening of the investigation by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) in 2021 after alluding to finding new evidence in their investigation of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's murders.
Smith was found dead on July 8, 2015, on Sandy Run Road, with no apparent evidence of a vehicle accident. The investigation was chaotic from the beginning, with inconsistencies in evidence handling and witness interviews. Rumors recorded in the South Carolina Highway Patrol investigation files linked Smith to Buster Murdaugh... though no direct evidence exists to substantiate these rumors and the investigation abruptly ended in 2016.
On today's episode, you'll also hear from Stephen's mom Sandy about the kind person he was and listen to police interviews that take several wild turns.
