Don't muddy the water. He wasn't hit by a car. You know it and the lack of evidence proves it wasn't a vehicle that hit him. Even sled made it clear they believe he was attacked by a group of boys with a bat in an ATV. They even took some paint from a blue ATV on the Murdaughs property on the night of the double homicide. Sled always suspected the Murdaughs but they could get a warrent because they controlled the prosecutors office. That was apparent by their actions on the night of the double homicide. As soon as they had access to the property they collected evidence in the Smith case. Maybe you should go watch the footage from that night again.

Addressing this to you in the hopes Mandy or Alan will receive it. To me: the "keycard" to the 'retirement' or 'gaited community' is key component in solving this case. Everyone is assuming Stephen may have had a friendship or relationship with Buster, based on what he said about "people wouldn't believe it" (his meaning - a 'well-to-do' or 'connected' individual) but I think perhaps we should not overlook the possibility that Stephen could have been an escort or friend to one of the older Murdaughs or one of their friends.

20:02 Honestly, I am not just being a nuisance. Some of us...keep reminding you...the background music destroys many parts of your videos. This is news and information, not a movie. And even if it were, those music editors would keep the background music down. When can we expect some softening of the volume at least, if not the varied intensities~? Closed captioning is great but I don't like it being all I can use to understand the story. Thank you, once again for checking on it.

@@govindagovindaji4662 exactly 💯

This is an older podcast

Yes ,time to stop being a COWARD !😠🤮

Maybe a 100% pass should be announced for anyone that comes forward?

I’ll second that!

I’d venture to say more than one.

Eric Bland seems like an honest man

Me 2 been a long time coming

String Buster up and make him talk. He may not have actually done anything but he darn well knows exactly what went down in Murdaugh territory.

@@flamingpitchfork9168 I’m not on the “Buster did it” bandwagon at all. There were over 40 mentions of his name in the police report based on ONE rumor. That’s it. I don’t believe he knows a thing and sled has verified that neither he nor Paul were even in the county that evening based on their cell phone data.

If anyone in that family did this-there is one convicted murderer (and I think even with a 2nd trial that will hold)-he should be who is investigated in this crime. There’s still a lot of cloaked stuff around old Alec: where is all that money? What was he actually doing while he claimed to be doing humongous piles of pills (bs)?

⁠@@pollsfriend How do you explain the interference of Alec and his lawyer brother in the case then?

It will. Always does.

It always will, to the beginning of history... the fight for justice is never over

Thank you for putting this case into perspective. It's clear this wasn't just a hit and run. I'm so sorry you and your son had to go through that. I hope he's healed physically, as well as mentally, because that's a traumatic experience to go through.

My understanding was that he wasn’t hit with a car but possibly a bat or something as they drove by.

The people who were there are dead so no point what they need to do is get her children the money that was stolen.

Eric Bland, Sandy's attorney, is also the attorney for the Satterfield estate. He confirmed Gloria's death was an accident. He also recovered almost twice what Alex stole from the Satterfield boys, almost $8,000,000.

Praying doesn't help anyone in any way.

As I know from personal experience,when you loose your child,you have two choices...live without them or live for them.

@@Sharpstoned I'm sorry you feel that way.

@@Sharpstonedhow does this ridiculous comment do anything? Does it make you feel good for a second? Superior? Truth is, it’s just rude. And it brings you down, not them. We have a right, all of us to our beliefs-and there is a time and place to debate those views. This was not that place.

@@daniellealexander7392 Don’t be sorry, stop ramming your ridiculous skydaddy and fairy tales down people’s throats!

Vinny didn't do anything dummy. Hes gettin paid to talk about whatever his producers tell him to

Tops comment 👍⚘⚘

I think she's been made aware.

Class and Race. America was built on holding someone down. Meritocracy!!

❤

He was a male escort..

Same here former Paediatric nurse I agree with you. The corner needs to be investigated.

The corner? You are a nurse? Heaven help us.

@@donnar9864 What a horrible comment😡😡

​@@bethdehart4LOL!

My nephew disappeared. Kidnapped by a cocaine dealing sibling of a politician. The Mom got an FBI visit telling her to stop investigating to find her son. The dad got arrested for assaulting the kidnapper/ Coke dealer. The pain they have been in without his body is just tragic for everyone they know. Money + power=corruption opportunity Cover up the death of a 17 yr old who was 4 weeks out of a rehab facility. Where'd they dump him?

,🙏🙏🙏🙏😢

He and Lori Daybell! Damage moving out in endless waves, affecting many people.

There has not been any evidence yet of a connection.

@@SS11660well they had suspect behavior because Randy and Alex showed up to the Stephen Smith death scene at the very early hours before his mom, sister and father knew. Hmmm why??? They are not ambulance chasing lawyers. They offered Stephens dad free legal representation to investigate his death. Stephen’s dad refused and died a few months later. 😭

The Murdaugh family has done several generations of damage to others in the community

And the government

I agree but I highly doubt Murdaughs had anything to do with this kids death. People just randomly putting the blame on them because they want the drama is bullshit. Anyone driving down that road could have hit him.

​@@JustSpeakingFacts_in not trying to be rude here, but are you not paying attention? His death was not caused by being hit on the road. He was murdered and placed on the road to be found.

They will be punished for GOD sees all

Even the 1s who lie they r rich🤯

Your prayer helps no one.

@@Sharpstonedhere you are again just being awful. Rude and ignorant.

Adult

@@Sharpstoned I will pray extra hard for you then!

@@aidathegreat1 Good one....

I can't help but to love her. She seems like a beautiful person, which is rare nowadays.

I don't think it's right mindset to have no hate for this!! Not normal!! The hate would propel one ask man upstairs to curse the perpetrator out till justice catches up with him!!! It must be that Way!!!

@@CollDottAnger, yes, not hate. Hate is blinding and destructive. I get what you mean, and it’s something we all face, but hate just eats you alive from inside.

Karma can come back like a tsuami as the tides flow. Truth will set u free!

Right! They are living in the chains of deceit-and they have the key.

So egregiously sad....proves how UTTERLY SOULESS THE MURDAUGH FAMILY IS‼️‼️‼️

Well said Spencer! I think Buster Murdaugh is Stephen’s murderer. The Murdaugh’s have NEVER believed that laws apply to them. It’s time that Buster and ANYONE in law enforcement who helped the Murdaugh’s coverup this murder be held accountable. JUSTICE FOR STEPHEN IS COMING!

It was a hit and run. His car was broke down out of gas. He was carrying a gas can. His injuries were consistent with an auto strike. And he had auto paint transferred onto the clothes over his wound points. For it to be a coverup, they'd have had to thoughtfully drain the car's gas tank, plant the gas can, and then apply car paint to his clothes. That's highly unlikely.

@@jimnasium7700 almost none of what you just said is accurate.

@@spencerhonda7445 that's all straight from the police and coroner reports

There’s 2 suspects who’ve been known about for quite some time now, who if you watch actual good coverage of this case you will know about. Those 2 suspects are *not Buster and someone else and are not related to the Murdaugh family!* There’s currently a grand jury investigation right now and those 2 suspects are being name in that very grand jury as the actual suspects in Stephens death. None of this information is hard to find and like I said, if you’re _actually well versed in this case, you know exactly who those 2 suspects are!!_ Sandy and her lawyer have known about this two suspects and know what’s going on in the grand jury. I initially thought that’s what this video was going to be about. I’m surprised nothing is in here about it and Sandy and her lawyer have not said anything. The two key suspects supposedly hit Stephen w their truck mirror accidentally. However, they knew they hit him and killed him in the following days, as the news hit about finding him dead, but have stayed silent all these years. All this is very easy to find, you just have to have reputable sources of coverage on this case. Which, it seems like the vast majority of ppl here don’t watch!

SLED needs to indict before Thanksgiving so we can have a Merry Christmas!

@@robertseward7690 That would answer all my holiday wishes 🙏🙏🙏

Fck your prayers thay do nothing.

Well said!

It was rumored that the son may have had sex with him. I can't remember which one.

Seems quiet a few people died that were associated with these people. Housekeeper, girl in boat accident, and Steven.

Prayers for the family. After all this babbling, WHAT are the NEW DEVELOPMENTS?

@@desireehuls8356there were 2 POI’s on FITS NEWS and not a Murdaugh. I’m not sure when but recently…strange they didn’t say anything new IMO too.

Not there fault lmao. You think they want to be blamed for some random kid who got hit by a car? It’s the obsessed crime community and media who keeps trying to pin this on them lmao

It's not like they asked for it. Kind of a strange comment.

The spotlight ? Ridiculous

@@JustSpeakingFacts_ok buster, whatever you say

I read the father of Alex, Randolph, grandfather of Buster, was a coach on the baseball team both Stephen and Buster played on. Stephen also tutored Buster after school. So there are links if a person researches instead of just making comments. Not out of the blue. I also read that Paul was transferred to a private school because of taunting from kid's about Buster and Stephen. These are things that can be verified, if true.

Nothing new at all. 2nd autopsy was done but not made public. Grand jury was empaneled months ago but all that is still secret. The Scholarship fund in Stephen's memory announced today was started months ago. There is a real danger of this case going cold again unless people who know start talking to SLED.

Thank you for saving me the time lol

Me too!

More clickbait

Drives me crazy. Such a waste of my time

I agree

Yes. I agree. And he speaks plainly.

Couldn't agree more. Amazing people ❤☕

Yeah I just basically said the same thing like this particular show was on last week, unless they are recapping and adding something new at the end…🤔

@@renaechoat3727 "Click catchers"

Maybe about the book or could be the scholarship.

💯💯💯💯

❤❤❤

Same here

I too am from South Carolina, and scum like the Murdaugh tribe give us all a bad name. The Smith family deserves the truth. Justice for Stephen!

That seems such a light sentence

@@csc8697 I agree, heartbreaking and I feel the driver should serve more time in jail but that is the law here apparently. The couple that hit him kept the car in a container. They bought another one just like it and I do believe the police "borrowed" that car to do a reenactment of the crime. I'm just glad the driver and passenger were caught finally.

SLED knows EXACTLY who murdered Stephen. Justice is coming.

Didn't they say it was the front of his head? That tells me there is a lot more going on here and not a hit and run. I cannot imagine it even if headlights off. He would have heard the vehicle. It just doesn't make sense so we must believe there are people that know what really happened and are afraid to talk.

@@kimschofield911 I thought they said the back of his head, and that in the front his eye socket was smashed in. I’ll listen again and confirm.

@@kimschofield911 Yes, I just listened again. Sandy said that his eye socket was broken and the back of his head was crushed. This time I noticed, she mentioned abrasions on his shoulders and other parts. It sounds like he could have been shot maybe, through his eye? But then, they’d have found bullet fragments wouldn’t they…so perplexing.

@momof3chis291 It is perplexing. Hope his mom gets some answers and whatever happens, that the person responsible is held accountable. There are far too many rumors and very few facts that LE has released. It makes it hard to know what is true and what is rumors. Hoping for answers and justice for the family.

@@kimschofield911 I agree 100%. Whoever committed this crime has gotten away with it for far too long. I want justice for Stephen and justice for Sandy. I think she’s going to have it, sooner than later now. I believe with the public interest generated, and the police interest renewed, I think/ hope that someone is going to start squeaking soon 🤞🏻.

Did Stephan’s dad accept his lifestyle?

There are none. This is the same old stuff just reheated.

Well said. As far as a connection, SLED found something during the search of the Murdaugh house that changed Stephen's case to a homicide, so the Murdaughs are definitely involved somehow.

Exactly and this case is eat up in that corruption and the cops will do whatever they have to do to keep certain things hidden even if that means a murder goes unsolved from the get go this case wasn't treated or investigated as a homicide so any and all evidence and proof is gone now so unless you have an eye witness come forward with proof of what they are saying happened or it's caught on camera you have nothing in the eyes of the court to prosecute with this case will end up in the cold case files and never be concluded prayers for mom she needs all the prayers she can get and then some rip Steven God bless you all

Eric is 1 of the only good things that came out of Murdoughs evil deeds. Thx for pointing out the positive aspects.🤗

But Eric is not a thief
