Subpoenas And Warrants Issued In Stephen Smith Investigation
The 19-year-old was found dead along Sandy Run Road on July 8, 2015, in what was initially labeled as a hit-and-run. After evidence was uncovered during an investigation into the Murdaugh family murders, authorities reclassified Smith’s death as a homicide.
Smith’s mother’s attorney, Eric Bland, said that the investigation has been steadfast and that police have told him that investigators have recently met with the state’s Attorney General to give them the “full briefing” on the case.
In the latest investigative report obtained by Court TV, detectives from Hampton County, South Carolina, warrants and subpoenas are being issued. Still, none of the names of those served have been made public.
“It would not surprise me that over the next couple months, we would hear something regarding Stephen Smith and the decision South Carolina reached that he was killed by homicide,” Bland said.
