I am not going to cancel my subscription because of your role in giving new ammunition to the disgusting anti-Stephen Smith/anti-Mandy Matney and most importantly PRO-MURDAUGH mob of bot-hole morons on the internet … but I will definitely do so unless you publically post the fact that the “news flash” about SLED having two persons of interest is years-old, totally baseless (and probably conspiratorial on part of Murdaugh interests) nothing-burger.

You already had a big strike against you for publishing the unnecessary, totally irrelevant connection between Stephen’s sister and Murdaugh’s favorite law enforcement toady. WTF , Will ?

I am horrifically disappointed. Are you better than this? Only time will tell.

Why don’t you just cancel it and never mind your reasons?

It seems like Marc isn’t being honest. It seems like he was mad at Stephen and it also seems like he might have been stalking Stephen. The way he talked made it sound like Stephen was Marc’s boyfriend in Marc’s head. I don’t doubt Stephen had talked to him before but just from the way he said he met Stephen “shaking his booty in the club” and how hardest he was on Stephen being 17 and then his sister saying they never met Marc in a club screams stalker vibes. I don’t think Marc’s info can be trusted.

I hope Buster Murdaugh sues you for printing all of this crap.

Mr. Beckhart is innocent. He’s trying to help. You can find out where he is by his phone records; and he knows that.

At some point, during the call before the last one, he heard a lot of dogs barking in the background….

Ok I have a question? In everything I have read where it talks about Stephen’s car supposedly ran out of gas because his gas cap was open but his wallet was left in the car right. So did anyone ever actually check to see if his car was really out of gas or just staged like how his body looked, maybe check to see if his seat had been adjusted…Just wondering. I lost my dad back in 2001 and I know with all my heart there was foul play but they didn’t find his body until he had been dead a week in an attic in the summer time so i won’t ever get to know the truth. I hope and pray this mother finds out what really happened and gets the closure she needs

?Stephen Smith left his car locked and took the keys with him. It makes sense to have left his walled in a locked car if he was afraid of losing the wallet in the dark or of it being robbed or pick-pocketed from him where he was going. He could have been walking to somewhere to pick up some drugs in exchange for sex and did not want to have money with him. He was no saint, and his mother is not Mother Teresa. Nothing in Stephen’s death makes sense to those who think he was a saint just because he was openly gay. But everything makes sense in light of the high-risk life style Stephen Smith chose to live, whether he was gay or not. It could have equally happened the exact same way to a female prostitute, too.

I truly believe that Buster nor any of the Murdachs are not connected to this. If anything, the two suspects may shared what happened with Paul, so he knew. Also, he was not found near the Moselle property, he was found on a road near another property, a farm, where one of those suspected teens spent a lot of time. I read that Sandy Stephens was not happy that her initial attorney said Buster was not a suspect, so she quit him. What gets me is why do all these people want it to be Buster so bad if he is innocent? This is about finding out the truth, but they are making it a witch hunt. Come on now. Be better than that.

During the trial of Alex Murdaugh, it was said that Paul lived in the cabin with (2) friends for a while. Does anyone know WHO the (2) friends were that he had living with him? Was it Patrick and/or Shawn who have publicly been named as person(s) of iinterest in the death investigation of Stephen Smith?

Anyone noticed it’s been four weeks since the exhumation and the second autopsy and NOT A WORD about the results? And why? Because Dr. Erin Presenell was right all along. It was a vehicle versus pedestrian collision. Whether Stephen Smith was suicidal and intentionally walked into traffic on a dark road where cars and trucks speed at night or absent-mindedly did not react fast enough to avoid the collision could have been, and still can, be answered by a PSYCHIATRIC AUTOPSY. Sandi Smith should be made to return all that money she duped people out of on that Go-Fund-Me racket or made to pay for a psychiatric autopsy. And Dr. Presnell and Buster should sue all those people who defamed them. No one, not even Fox News, is free to defame people without consequences.
