In the heart of Murdaugh country, long before the sensational trial of Alex Murdaugh, another enigmatic case gripped the community. The death of Stephen Smith, a 19-year-old gay man, on July 8, 2015, was initially ruled a hit and run by the medical examiner, but his mother, Sandy Smith, never accepted this explanation. Now, in an exclusive presentation, “48 Hours” unveils the compelling findings of an independent investigation into this perplexing cold case.
For years, Sandy Smith relentlessly sought answers about her son’s death, determined to uncover the truth. She speaks candidly with 48 Hours contributor and CBS News national correspondent Nikki Battiste, expressing her unyielding desire for closure. “All I want is peace in knowing what happened to my son,” she says, “He’s my world, and I’ll fight ’til the end.”
Hampton County Guardian editor Michael Dewitt, who covered Stephen Smith’s death in 2015, reflects on the enduring mystery.

If you're sitting down to watch Lifetime's Murdaugh Murders: The Movie, chances are you're already familiar with the case and the man at the center of it: disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh. In the years since the double homicide of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, Alex's wife and son, the case has dominated the public's attention, with millions tuning in to the early 2023 murder trial (Alex was convicted and sentenced to two life terms) and the many documentaries about the family's web of lies and corruption. While these projects have connected the dots between the murders, Paul's involvement in the 2019 boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, and the suspicious deaths of housekeeper Gloria Satterfield and Stephen Smith, they've been primarily concerned with the more salacious aspects of the case, including Alex's suicide-for-hire plot and abuse of prescription drugs.
