Within seven days of its launch, the GoFundMe page created to fund “an independent exhumation and autopsy” exceeded its $15k goal. According to the page, organized by Smith’s mother, Sandy, the family has raised a whopping $44k.
The body of Smith, 19, was found in the middle of Sandy Run Road — located a short distance from Moselle, the Murdaugh’s private ranch, and the crime scene for Alex’s wife Maggie and son Paul’s 2021 murders.
Initially, Smith’s death was ruled a hit-and-run by the coroner — although the teenager’s body showed trauma and injuries inconsistent with that type of accident.
