COLUMBIA, S.C. — Buster Murdaugh on Monday publicly denied being involved in the death of a teenager hours before Stephen Smith’s mother and her attorneys held a news conference.
Buster Murdaugh, the sole surviving son of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh, issued a statement through his attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin refuting any rumors that he was involved in Smith’s July 2015 death.
“This has gone on far too long,” Buster Murdaugh said in the statement. “These baseless rumors of my involvement with Stephen and his death are false. I unequivocally deny any involvement in his death, and my heart goes out to the Smith family.”
