Clarence Smith Sr. – The Charley Project

Can't find any new information for Mr. Smith just thought I would add a link to his case on The Charley Project just incase anyone wanted to check it out.

Does anyone know why the FBI and ONLY the FBI is the investigating agency on his case? I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before.

Noting Ferriday, LA appears to be only a few miles (according to map scale) to Mississippi border.
