Details of Disappearance
Smith was last seen walking home from school in Hot Springs, Arkansas on December 4, 1985. She never arrived at home and has never been heard from again.
Smith's boyfriend had allegedly been abusive towards her and she wanted to end their relationship prior to her disappearance. After she vanished, he pawned a piece of her jewelry. The police were aware of his actions but did not consider him a suspect in her disappearance. He was later charged in an unrelated assault against another person.
Smith was originally thought to be a runaway but now other theories are being considered in her disappearance. Her case is unsolved.
