Thanks Lindsay! I couldn't figure out how to start a thread...

I hope Brittany is found, safe, very soon!
 
I can't believe how long she has been missing for already. What's up with the delayed alert?
 
From WDBJ7 FB page:

Here's info from state police: Virginia State Police Brittany Mae Smith was last seen Dec. 2. Roanoke Co. Police were not aware of her missing until today - Dec. 6 - and then immediately contacted VSP so we could issue the AMBER Alert. Jeffrey Easley is not her father, but an acquaintance of her mother. - VSP Public Relations Office
 
Police say the victim's mother's vehicle is missing, suspect may be in it. It's a Silver 2005 Dodge 4d sdn VA-XKF2365.

Police issued the Amber Alert after police found the body of a female inside the home on Fort Lewis Circle. Authorities have identified the woman as 41-year-old Tina Smith. Her death is being investigated as a possible homicide. Brittany Mae Smith is the daughter of Tina Smith.

OK, so Brittany's mother was found deceased in her house, and now it's been discovered that Brittany hasn't been seen for 4 days? Also, her mom's car is missing.

The situation seems that they believe that this mother's acquaintance (Easley) had something to do with the mom's death and then took Brittany and the vehicle. NCMEC lists two vehicles, so perhaps the mom's vehicle and Mr. Easley's are both missing?

Unfortunately, I've heard this story before and it doesn't usually turn out well. Especially since time is not in Brittany's favor it seems.

Me too. Been frantically trying how to figure out how to get this posted. This guy is 32 years old. This is pretty close to home. Really, really close to where my neice lives with her three small children (probably within one mile).
 
Thanks for making a thread for Brittany, I got a text a little bit ago and was coming here to do the same.

Gosh, 4 days they could be anywhere by now. Hoping for a happy ending!
 
Sarah Maynard...

Shasta and Dylan Groene...

Lexis Roberts...

Aja Johnson...

All taken after parent(s) were murdered... for whatever reason.

Some good outcomes and some bad... but, there have been good ones.
 
Have just spoken with my neice and she is really upset about this. This occurred within blocks of her childrens' school. I told her I do not feel it was a random homicide/abduction, as the police are saying they "think" this guy is an acquaintance" of the child's mother. Seems that the delay in the Amber Alert was because police were not notified until the co-workers of the mother called when she had not shown up for work.

I tried to look up this Easely person on google but currently all that comes up is the information about the current amber alert. i was going to see if he has a criminal record, or was a RSO, etc. But it is good that the amber alert is out there.
 
This is terrible. I know a couple of people that live right by the house, as well as it's literally about a minute away from my neighborhood. I really hate that there are days in-between the time she's been missing and reported. It makes me think of the recent Ohio family/friend murders and the abduction of the little girl. I hope this creep is caught and she is returned safely !
