The body of a South Carolina teenager who was found dead on a rural road eight years ago is set to be exhumed.
The mother of Stephen Smith has raised over $50,000 on GoFundMe to pay for the exhumation and autopsy.
Smith’s death in 2015 has been a mystery, and his mother has been seeking answers ever since.
The case regained attention following the murder of Maggie and Paul Murdock, which led to an investigation into mysterious deaths connected to the Murdock family.
Investigators believe Smith was killed after being hit by a vehicle, but tips suggest a possible connection to the Murdock family.
No member of the family has been named as a suspect in Smith’s death.
