The above link has been updated with additional details: “We received a tip on Friday afternoon here in the city that someone had found human remains at an address in the 800 block of South Center St. Upon investigation, we located those remains (and) they were identified as Mr. Smith,” said...

JUSTIN SMITH Springfield, Ohio Birthdate/Age: ??/28yo Missing Since: Jan 29, 2024 Height and Weight: 5'9", 120 pounds Characteristics: Caucasian male. Brown hair, hazel eyes. He has a “Janice” tattoo on his left wrist, lettering on his right upper arm that ends in “eah”, and a rose coverup...

I think he was running to avoid the reality of what he'd done. When he was picked up twice hitchhiking, I don't think his stories were to form an alibi as much as he was perhaps in denial about what had happened. She wasn't dead, she was working on her vlog, etc... That and running from the...

I honestly can’t imagine he thought he’d get away with it. He fled the scene of the crime but seemingly made zero attempts to hide his tracks. He didn’t hide her body, used her debit card repeatedly, drove the van home and parked it in the driveway of all places… and as soon as the police came...

We don’t know there was flooding when he first went to the reserve. It appears the brush was pretty thick there too so he may have killed himself somewhere under cover and then when it later flooded things were moved around.

The canopy is a staging area. It's not directly over anything. People made this same mistake when GP was found, thinking her body was under the canopy when it wasn't.

I disagree. You may want to do a bit of reading on how the phrase "crime of passion" has been used in previous cases.

NO. That’s misinformation. She is NOT shown in this footage at all. The location of her remains are not shown in this video. In the last shot of the pop-up canopy when you see the men walking off screen as the footage ends, they are walking in her direction but the location she is in is not seen...

No. That is not her. She is not shown anywhere in this footage.

There’s been nothing to suggest she was burned. The teeny tiny little campfire that was there certainly couldn’t have done it.

It doesn’t say they won’t post a notice on the car for five days, just that you might have five days to move it. There is no overnight parking in that lot so that’s why it was ticketed.

It was a TINY campfire, with a few burned twigs and some ash, it wasn't the size you would burn much in let alone a body.

Possibly and there were also flip flops and some other things stacked right outside the door. If they had a camp fire, though, then I would think it would have been later in the evening that they'd set up the tent or whatever across the creek.

It would appear that they set up a tent and campfire at that location, not that he carried her body there. If this is the case, then it seems likely the event happened very late on the 27th or sometime on the 28th and that he left her where she fell.

There seemed to be confusion over it early on but no one knows who made the first cross. The second cross, made where she was actually found, was done by the step father. “ Gary Rider, a friend of Gabby’s stepfather Jim Schmidt, said the pair had visited the site on Wednesday and that they had...
