Sandy Smith holds a photo of her late son, 19-year-old Stephen Smith, on Thursday, June 24, 2021. "There will never be another one like him," she said. Smith felt vindicated. Finally. Last week, at her home on a dirt road in rural Barnwell, S.C., she watched a TV interview with Todd Proctor, the man who led the investigation into her 19-year-old son's death. The former S.C. Highway Patrol trooper had recently told several media outlets that Stephen Smith's 2015 death was likely a murder staged to look like a hit-and-run.
