Kenny Kinsey, a forensic investigator who testified for the prosecution in the 2023 Murdaugh murder trial, is now independently investigating death of Stephen Smith.
He says he believes key opportunities were missed early in the 2015 case. Discovery of Stephen's body reported to 911. He suffered a 7½-inch skull fracture.
Smith's death was initially investigated as a hit-and-run but investigators say the evidence did not support that as a cause of death.
The body of Stephen Smith has now been exhumed, autopsied and reinterred.
