In the wake of Alex Murdaugh being found guilty of murdering his wife, Margaret “Maggie” Murdaugh, and their son, Paul Murdaugh, attention now turned to Alex’s other son, Buster Murdaugh, and the mysterious 2015 death of his high school classmate, Stephen Smith. “I have tried my best to ignore the vicious rumors about my involvement in Stephen Smith’s tragic death that continue to be published in the media as I grieve over the brutal murders of my mother and brother,” Buster, 26, said in a statement published by his attorney, Jim Griffin, on Monday (Mar. 20).
“I haven’t spoken up until now because I want to live in private while I cope with their deaths and my father’s incarceration. Before, during, and since my father’s trial, I have been targeted and harassed by the media and followers of this story. This has gone on far too long. These baseless rumors of my involvement with Stephen and his death are false. I unequivocally deny any involvement in his death, and my heart goes out to the Smith family,” wrote Buster. “I am requesting that the media immediately stop publishing these defamatory comments and rumors about me.”
