GUILTY IL - Katrina Smith, 30, beaten to death, Machesney Park, 23 Oct 2012 - #1

[LMStyle]

Not that I have been able to find. Several people have asked who the last person besides Todd was to see her that day and never has there been an answer. If no one has come forward (are we certain that she was at work that day?) then there is no way to prove for certain that she hasn't been missing for much longer.

Since you seem to have the inside sources, especially when it comes to her having a boyfriend, when was the last time the boyfriend saw Katrina?

snipped, " Who I really worry about are the three daughters."

agree, their life could be in danger also.

I too worry about the three daughters because I have known them since they were born and it pains me greatly to see them go through this entire ordeal.

Has LE verified that she actually went out a second time? Do we have surveillance or something to prove it?

I am still curious as to where the youngest daughter was that night. That would really change everything if she was in fact home with TS at the point when Katrina left. If she was staying with her mom then we know TS was home alone when Katrina left. Or if the youngest daughter was out and came home after that point, was TS gone when she got home and came home later?

Wish we could get some information on this, I was hoping it would just come out by now.

Not that I know of. IIRC, Katrina was seen shopping between 7:30 and 8:00 pm on store cameras. I'll look for a link; am on iPad now.

I thought it was already common knowledge that TS stated he was the only one to see Katrina when she left at 9pm.

LMS-Do you think this was something random or someone that knew her?

Does Katrina have any tatoos?

There has not been a lot to update, but a few things are added to the case archive:

I don't suppose we can talk about the blog by Justin, the brother of Todd?

Anyways, there is a lot of drama behind the scenes. I wonder about the dogs too. I read how the dog went here, and there, and to the river, etc....
But NOTHING about SAR K-9s even though that is a resource available to the LE there.

I admire Chad a lot.

well, the guy with the dog was on the official fb and has been talked about here... and the webpage was posted here for a little bit....and most of what is on that page is about todds past and we already have links to all of the same stuff as on that page...

LMS-Do you think this was something random or someone that knew her?

I'm still not sure, it could go either way still with so many unanswered questions. I am sure LE has it figured out and is just putting together the pieces of the puzzle.

Hopefully the police have another search warrant. This time for TS's car.

I would think that would fall under the search warrant obtained for the home?

 

[scadder21]

Maybe not sure if the vehicle is considered part of the home.

I thought it was already common knowledge that TS stated he was the only one to see Katrina when she left at 9pm.

I agree. I also assumed that many were also respecting her privacy since she is just 16 years old.

 

[MissMalowe]

Did any of the reports ever mention if the keys were in the car or if the keys had been recovered?

Wow, McDonough.....

good point about no one we know of coming up to say they were the last to see her! (other than her husband)

she may have been missing longer than what has been reported!

JMO

ETA: I had forgotten about the surveillance cameras where she shopped earlier in the evening...

 

[TexasCharm]

I'm sure LE knows EXACTLY when she was last seen and who she last talked to. If she had a bf, I'm sure they have interviewed him and know when he was last in touch and whether or not she shared her plans for the day.

I agree that LE is quiet for a reason. They know more than they are willing to say .. and there is a reason for THAT.

And that's all I care to say about THAT.. *wink*

IMO IMO IMO

just an update dated nov. 7...

I never give input to cases b/c by the time I read, everything's already been said. But this case has been different. I keep coming back for updates and sadly there's not much.

From the article posted above -
"Rock Cut will close for four days, beginning on Thursday, to allow for hunting season."
Hopefully hunters will be alert and keeping a look out for evidence.
