Murdaugh Involved in Stephen Smith Case? What the Bones Revealed

From the CrimeTime Vault, we revisit an earlier forensic discussion about the mysterious death of Stephen Smith, a South Carolina teenager found dead in the roadway in 2015.

Initially investigated as a possible hit-and-run, the case later raised serious questions among investigators and forensic experts.

In this archived CrimeTime conversation, forensic anthropologist Dr. Murray Marks explains how skeletal trauma analysis works — and how bones preserve evidence of blunt force injuries long after death.

Dr. Marks walks through what forensic investigators expect to see in pedestrian vehicle impacts, how fracture patterns reveal the mechanics of trauma, and why the injuries in the Stephen Smith case raised important forensic questions. While speculation has surrounded this case for years, this conversation focuses on the forensic process and evidence analysis.

Because in forensic science, bones remember.
