Twenty years ago, May 25, 1996 to be exact, 19 year old Kristin Smart went missing walking to her college dorm room. When she went missing, she had nothing with her besides the clothes on her back. Her partents, detectives, and the community continued their search for the young girl for many years. Finally, in 2002 investigators officially declared Kristin dead. They had no more leads to follow and decided it was time.
In recent time, investigators think they may have gotten a new break in the case. They are starting an excavation for her remains on campus grounds. The community is hopeful, but realistic in knowing that this may also be a dead end.
In a recent interview with Smart's parents, they relay that they can really use the closure that comes with burying a loved one, because when you have a mising loved one you never know and don't have the ability to move on in the same way.
One of the 4 E's I took notice of, is emotion. Knowing that her parents want the closure they deserve and may never have it is heartbreaking. Also knowing that whoever did this to the young girl and her family will most likely get away with it is sickening.
I hope there is justice for Kristin and her family, along with community.
