I live in VA and heard about the Smart Family Murders in Bassett VA, but I had not done any research on the case in years. After others on here brought it up, I saw a lot of similarities. I listened to a podcast on the case and the hosts had many of the same questions about the motives that we have thought about on Jayme's case. I just hope the end result is not the same.
I knew nothing much about the Short case until a few months ago. I looked it up after someone mentioned it and the similarities were so striking and there were so many, at least in the article I read. It has also been mentioned that I think in early October, they put the case in the news again hoping for some break or new leads. It could have triggered a copycat or even not so far fetched (anymore than any other wild theory in this case), the same perp who remains at large. I forget the year but say the perp was 25 or 29 then I think it would put him near 40 or so now, etc. Some of the similarities to the Closs case, older parents, only child; on a highway; killed parents, took child (later sadly also found dead not all that far away), and many more. Unfortunately, however, they do not know who that killer was either, whether stranger or someone was targeted. In that case, they sure did not take the child to keep her and apparently the child was not involved as it was some years ago, I doubt the internet played a part--the child was also a bit younger than Jayme.
