Stephen Smith Timeline
Cpl. Duncan contacted Sgt. Booker to inform him that SLED would be taking over the case, as the wound appeared to be consistent with a gunshot. Cpl. Duncan chose not to respond to the scene at that moment.
Hampton County Deputy Michael Bridges arrived on scene at 4:40 am.
The passing tow-truck driver calls 911 at 3:59 am to report that there was a body lying on Sandy Run Road.
The last time Stephen’s best friend, Rachel Tuten, says she spoke to him via text was between 7:00 & 8:00 pm.
