Billy Smolinski Jr. was 31 years old when he disappeared from his residence on the 100th block of Holly St. in Waterbury, Connecticut, on August 24th, 2004. He has never been seen again.
Billy's recent ex-girlfriend, Madeline Gleason, reports that the last time she saw Smolinski Jr. was early August 24th, 2004, in Ansonia, Gleason reports that she let him into her home, and Smolinski Jr. then asked to get back together and move in with him. Gleason proceeds to respond with “no,” to which Smolinski Jr. asked if she would see him again, to which she responded that she needed time to think. He then left her home, and that was the last interaction they ever had.
The last known interaction with Smolinski Jr. before he disappeared was with a neighbor of his, Laroi Henley. Smolinski Jr. asked Henley to watch his dog because he was going up north for a few days. Smolinski Jr. then gave him the phone number of a friend named Mary Ellen Noble in case there were any problems with the dog.
His truck was found parked at the end of the driveway, almost as if it was blocking it. His keys and wallet were both recovered from underneath the driver’s seat. Several days later, in the middle of the night, Billy’s truck was broken into and sifted through. Waterbury Police failed to fingerprint his truck in time, something that should have been a priority.
According to a June 2012 arrest warrant affidavit, a man named Chad Hanson reached out to investigators and told them that Smolinski Jr. had been murdered, and he knew where the body was. He then claimed that a man named Shaun Karpiuk had beaten Billy to death, and Hanson helped him bury the remains, which were inside of a carpet and covered with lime. Subsequently Hanson led investigators on three searches those searches resulted in no further evidence or any remains.
This poor family has been suffering for 20 years, yesterday was the anniversary of his disappearance, any help would be greatly appreciated.
