    Real Name: Dennis Keith Smith

    Aliases: None known

    Wanted For: Murder

    Missing Since: November 1995

    Details: On June 7, 1982, five-year-old Vancouver, Washington resident Dustin Johnson said goodbye to his mother, Patricia, and went to stay with his father for a weekend custody visit. What he did not know was that it was the last time he would see her alive. Over the weekend, she mysteriously vanished. A week later, her naked and decomposed body was found. Shockingly, two weeks after that, her twenty-two-year-old brother, Dennis Smith, confessed to her murder. He was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. What was even more shocking was that he was paroled after serving just ten years. After his release, he lived with his parents. Unfortunately, this was the same house where Dustin lived, so for over a year, Dustin had to face him.

    Then, Dustin learned about the disappearance of thirty-five-year-old Carolyn Killaby of Vancouver and was convinced that his Uncle Dennis was somehow involved. Carolyn and her husband, Dan, had lived just three miles away from him. On the morning of Saturday, November 11, 1995, they patched up an argument and planned on having dinner out together. However, just before Dan left work, his brother told him to come over. They ended up drinking for several hours, so at 1 am, Dan called home and left a message for Carolyn, saying that he was staying at his brother's house.

    However, when Dan came home that morning, he discovered that the message was still on the answering machine and that Carolyn was nowhere to be found. At first, he figured that she was punishing him for not showing up for dinner. The next day, however, when she had not shown up for work, he became concerned and began searching for her. He later found her car abandoned at a local bar. A barmaid told him that she had seen her on Saturday night. Police began investigating her disappearance. They located a witness who claimed to have seen her at the bar with a man named Dennis.

    When Dustin read the newspaper article about Carolyn's disappearance, he was certain that the man named "Dennis" was really his uncle. He contacted Dan and they notified police about their hunch about Smith. Investigators soon confirmed that the man that was last seen with Carolyn was Dennis Smith. Dan soon learned what happened that night; according to a witness, she was alone, drunk, and crying at the bar. At around 11:30 pm, Smith came over to her and they later left together.

    When authorities learned that Smith was a paroled murderer, they brought him in for questioning. Smith, however, claimed that he had consensual sexual relations with Carolyn, and that an unknown man had threatened him and took her away. However, he was acting suspicious during the interview and detectives did not believe his story. Authorities searched his truck and found a large hole burned into the passenger seat, which he explained as being caused by a cigarette. They also found that the seat's cover had been removed and all of the upholstery and carpeting had been taken out. However, at the time, authorities did not have enough evidence to arrest him, and he was released.

    Despite Carolyn's body never being found, investigators were able to amass enough evidence to charge him with her murder in July 1996. By then, Smith was long gone. A $5,000 reward is being offered for his capture.
