Alex Murdaugh’s surviving son, Buster, on Monday “unequivocally” denied “vicious rumors” that he was involved in the death of a gay former classmate he was linked to romantically.
Buster Murdaugh, 26, spoke out for the first time as the body of Stephen Smith, 19, is due to be exhumed nearly eight years after he was mysteriously found dead in the road near the South Carolina home where Alex later gunned down his wife, Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22.
“I have tried my best to ignore the vicious rumors about my involvement in Stephen Smith’s tragic death that continue to be published in the media as I grieve over the brutal murders of my mother and brother,” Buster Murdaugh said in a statement.
“I love them so much and miss them terribly,” he said of the relatives for whose brutal murders his dad is serving two life sentences.
“I haven’t spoken up until now because I want to live in private while I cope with their deaths and my father’s incarceration,” he continued, complaining about being “harassed” over his family’s ever-deepening scandals.
“This has gone on far too long,” Buster said.
“These baseless rumors of my involvement with Stephen and his death are false,” he said of the former high school classmate whom friends told cops and a recent Netflix special said Murdaugh had dated.
“I unequivocally deny any involvement in his death, and my heart goes out to the Smith family,” Murdaugh said, asking people to stop spreading the “rumors.”
