In addition, SLED has opened an investigation into the unsolved death of 19-year-old Stephen Smith, whose body was found with blunt-force head trauma on a Hampton County road in July 2015. A state grand jury was empaneled last year to investigate how officers investigated the boat crash after records highlighted missteps by law enforcement and questions surfaced about a possible attempt to shift blame away from Paul Murdaugh.

In some instances, Murdaugh channeled settlement money to a fake “Forge” bank account he created to mimic an Atlanta-based firm that manages client investments from legal payouts, according to indictments. Rumors became rampant in the void of information. He also is accused of helping Murdaugh siphon money from his legal clients. But investigators soon discounted his version of events and charged Murdaugh with trying to orchestrate his own murder as part of a $10 million insurance fraud scheme.

Authorities say the former attorney was shot by former client Curtis Smith, who Murdaugh’s lawyers have described as his personal drug dealer. The law enforcement agency plans to present its evidence to a grand jury this week and did not mention any other suspects, he said.
