The body of a teen found in 2015 near the South Carolina home of convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh has been exhumed following tips since the trial.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Last month police in South Carolina said Stephen Smith’s hit-and-run death was now being treated as a homicide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Murdaugh was found guilty in March of killing his wife and son. His surviving son, Buster, Smith’s classmate, has denied any involvement in his death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Smith’s is the second body exhumed after the Murdaugh case publicity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Last year, after Murdaugh’s arrest, South Carolina law enforcement announced they would exhume the body of Murdaugh family housekeeper Gloria Satterfield, who was ruled to have died from an accidental fall at the home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

No new findings or arrests have been announced in the deaths of Smith or Satterfield.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
