Missing in the SGV
Milk cartons abound with the faces of the missing, it's cliche. I saw a poster in a Corona gas station this morning digging for signs of hope in the search for a missing developmentally disabled person.
In a conversation with an El Monte Police detective this afternoon, I learned the story of Austin Jay Smith. He's been missing since 1993. There was a reward way back when, but nothing ever came of tips, investigations, etc. Anyway, EMPD is taking a third look at the case. We'll have more later.
In the meantime, if you have stories of missing persons, let us know, we'll begin collecting them here. If you have pictures, that will help too.
