Evidence that the Russians were behind this in a new investigate report from Yahoo News.

Exclusive: The true origins of the Seth Rich conspiracy theory. A Yahoo News investigation.

Quote:

WASHINGTON — In the summer of 2016, Russian intelligence agents secretly planted a fake report claiming that Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was gunned down by a squad of assassins working for Hillary Clinton, giving rise to a notorious conspiracy theory that captivated conservative activists and was later promoted from inside President Trump’s White House, a Yahoo News investigation has found.

Russia’s foreign intelligence service, known as the SVR, first circulated a phony “bulletin” — disguised to read as a real intelligence report —about the alleged murder of the former DNC staffer on July 13, 2016, according to the U.S. federal prosecutor who was in charge of the Rich case. That was just three days after Rich, 27, was killed in what police believed was a botched robbery while walking home to his group house in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C., about 30 blocks north of the Capitol.

The purported details in the SVR account seemed improbable on their face: that Rich, a data director in the DNC’s voter protection division, was on his way to alert the FBI to corrupt dealings by Clinton when he was slain in the early hours of a Sunday morning by the former secretary of state’s hit squad.

Yet in a graphic example of how fake news infects the internet, those precise details popped up the same day on an obscure website, whatdoesitmean.com, that is a frequent vehicle for Russian propaganda. The website’s article, which attributed its claims to “Russian intelligence,” was the first known instance of Rich’s murder being publicly linked to a political conspiracy.

These conspiracy theorist will have a field day with the upcoming Showtime miniseries
"The Loudest Voice" about Roger Ailes and the rise of Fox News, since from the trailer it will not be complimnetary to either Ailes or Fox News.

The Mueller Report discusses this in the first volume at some detail. The Wiki Leaks reward for information on the murder was a deliberate part of the deception.

It has been revealed today that Fox News agreed to settle with the parents of Seth Rich for an unspecified seven-figure amount. The settlement is being reported as having been agreed upon in late October, just before several key Fox News personalities were set to be deposed. It is also being reported that Fox News included as one of the terms that the existence of the settlement, or even the fact that an agreement had been reached, had to be kept secret from the public until after the election - hence why it is only being revealed now.
