Stacey Smart, 51, was last seen on October 12, 2016, in Lewiston, California, where she was living with her boyfriend, Tony Brand. Her disappearance raised alarm when she failed to show up for a planned visit with her daughter on Halloween. Stacey was officially reported missing on November 2, 2016, by her family after they had not heard from her for weeks.
Prior to her disappearance, Stacey had recently moved to Lewiston from Weaverville to live with Brand, and although the relationship seemed fine to her family, her sudden vanishing raised many concerns.
Stacey's personal belongings, including her clothing, were still at the house when family members visited, despite Brand telling different stories about her leaving. Brand's accounts of what happened were inconsistent, including claims that she had moved out, left notes, or that their relationship had ended. Additionally, Stacey's last known bank card use was on October 16, but it is unclear who used it. Investigations into the case, including searches of the home and nearby areas, have yielded no conclusive results, and Brand has been cooperative with authorities but declined to take a polygraph test administered by the Sheriff's Office.
Despite extensive searches by her family and authorities, Stacey remains missing, and no significant leads have surfaced. Her family continues to seek answers and push for more investigation into her disappearance.Last Seen: Oct 12, 2016
