Jacqueline Ashley Smith’s homicide case overview: (Currently unsolved and cold, possible LISK victim?) Currently unclear if related. Websleuth true crime research group, MurderInc filed a FOIA request to the NY state government resulting in them releasing a flyer confirming a missing persons investigation. Her torso was not that far from Andre Issac found within the same region of Rockaway/Arverne (Queens County, NY) .
On 8/7/99, 16 year old Jackie was last seen celebrating her 16th birthday. She was in the park at Utica Ave & Avenue N in Brooklyn, NY. On 6/20/00, an unidentified female torso was recovered at Beach 88th Street in Rockaway Beach. (An old article says Beach 87th Street, in an overgrown weeded area). The torso was found in plastic bags, wrapped with tape. Eighteen years later, in 2018, she was identified as Jackie Smith. The recovery spot of her remains is about one mile from where Sugar Bear's torso was found in the Rockaway.
Jackies extremities and head were never found, Andre’s has.
Jacquline needs justice too. Her killer needs to be brought to justice and prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law within the state of NY.
More details from my LISK notes from my word doc below

More details from my LISK notes from my word doc below Jacqueline Ashley Smith – Case Summary (Jackie Smith by close friends
- Date remains found: June 20, 2000
- Location: Near Beach 88th Street, Rockaway Beach, Queens, NY
- Remains recovered:
- Only the torso — no arms, legs, head, hands, or feet were found
- The torso was wrapped in plastic bags and secured with tape
- Case originally registered in NamUs: As Unidentified Person #UP6058
- Later identified as: Jacqueline Ashley Smith, age 16 when she went missing from Brooklyn in August 1999
- Cause of death: Unknown publicly (no head means no autopsy on skull or brain trauma; no confirmed wounds reported on torso)
What this means:
- Her case sat unsolved and unidentified for 16 years — from 2000 to ~2016 (may have been identified also around 2008-2016/2018)
- Like Tanya Jackson (“Peaches”), she was known only as an anonymous torso for many years
- She was only identified thanks to renewed interest and pressure — from a true crime researcher filing FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests
- Her family may not have known what happened to her for over a decade
