The family of a teenager who was found dead eight years ago on a road near the hunting estate of disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh says they're going to exhume his body for an independent autopsy.
Stephen Smith's death was initially ruled an unsolved hit-and-run, but his mother has rejected that suggestion and says she hopes the new autopsy will help answer questions about what really happened to her son.
"Our family is so very grateful to all of you who came together to help us in our fight for justice for Stephen," Sandy Smith wrote on a GoFundMe page that had raised more than $60,000 to pay for the exhumation.
