Has anyone else been diving into Richard Clayton Smith's case? It's troubling how little information is available— especially the conflicting dates about when he actually went missing. It’s like he disappeared twice! One source says 2002, and another mentions 2013. How does that even happen?
I’ve tried to dig up any newspaper articles or press releases that might clarify things, but there’s nothing concrete. It’s just radio silence. I’m curious if anyone here might have any insights or theories about why there’s such a discrepancy in the timeline. Could it be a clerical error, or maybe there were sightings that weren't officially recorded?
It’s frustrating that public records aren't more comprehensive. Without knowing more about what he was wearing, who might have last seen him, or if he had a particular routine, it’s tough to piece anything together. If anyone has any leads—no matter how small—please share. Maybe we can bring more attention to his case and fill in some gaps.
Hey everyone, I'm really puzzled by the timeline discrepancies in Richard Clayton Smith's case. Has anyone else noticed the conflicting dates about his disappearance? On one hand, it says he's been missing since 2002, but then there's the mention of 2013. I feel like this kind of mix-up could totally hinder the investigation. It's like we're chasing a ghost from two different time periods, and it makes me wonder if this might be more systematically problematic for tracking missing persons in that area. Anyone know if Pacific County or Washington State police have commented on these kinds of date inconsistencies in the past?
