Alex Murdaugh’s surviving son, Buster, on Monday “unequivocally” denied “vicious rumors” that he was involved in the death of a gay former classmate he was linked to romantically.
Buster Murdaugh, 26, spoke out for the first time as the body of Stephen Smith, 19, is due to be exhumed nearly eight years after he was mysteriously found dead in the road near the South Carolina home where Alex later gunned down his wife, Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22.
Smith’s death in July 2015 close to the Murdaughs’ Moselle estate — where Alex gunned down his wife and son — was initially ruled a hit-and-run.
It was reopened just weeks after the slayings of Maggie and Paul “based upon information gathered during the course of the double murder investigation,” officials said at the time.
