South Carolina investigators have reportedly exhumed the body of Stephen Smith, as authorities have reopened their investigation into the gay teenager’s mysterious murder in 2015.
Smith’s body was exhumed on Friday for an independent autopsy, sources close to the investigation told WCIV.
The 19-year-old was found dead on the side of a road in Hampton County in July 2015. An original autopsy ruled his death as a possible hit-and-run accident. After nearly eight years, Smith’s death was officially ruled a homicide last month.
Interest in Smith’s death has been renewed since the double-murder conviction of Alex Murdaugh earlier this month.
