Searching for Connie Smith, I found this story about little girl missing since 1913 and never found.

Quote"Nine-year-old Catherine Winters was last seen around noon on March 20, 1913. A family friend named Dan Monroe spoke to her as she walked along the town square toward her Newcastle, Indiana home. On that day, the schools had closed due to an outbreak of measles and Catherine had spent the morning playing with her pal Helen Stretch. As she skipped toward home, she wore a red sweater coat, a white straw hat, and a black and white checked gingham dress. She had brown eyes and light brown hair."
