At Rest

Suicide
Paul S. Smith reportedly shot and killed himself outside his home as police approached him. Officers had arrived at about 4:30 p.m. because Smith was considered a person of interest in the abduction of a 4-year-old Alisa Maier, who'd been taken from her home in Louisiana Missouri two days earlier. Alisa had been found at a Fenton car wash about 26 hours after she was abducted.
This record exists so that Paul Serling Smith, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
