Murder Trial for Todd Smith, Accused of Wife's Death, Postponed
Updated: Fri 11:39 PM, Jan 08, 2016

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- A young woman considering divorce who went missing and later found dead in the Rock River. That’s the picture painted Friday in a hearing for Todd Smith, accused of killing his wife Katrina.

Katrina was seeing a co-worker at the time of her death. That man, Guy Gabriel, testified today they became friends in early October, about the same time Todd and Katrina separated.

Gabriel and Jeff Patchin, a friend of Todd’s, both said Katrina went to Todd’s home the night of October 22nd. She wasn't seen or heard from after that.

Patchin also talked about Todd’s demeanor during searches for Katrina. He said Todd didn't seem that upset and any tears he had seemed fake.

Another friend testified he was at Todd’s home after Katrina went missing. He said when Todd couldn't find a baseball bat he said, “My prints are on the bat."

Katrina was brutally murdered and her body was dumped in the Rock River. Her body was found November 9, 2012 just south of Byron.

Friday’s hearing for the judge to decide what evidence and testimony will be allowed during the trial. This hearing will continue on February 1st. A new date for the trial has not been set.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- The murder trial for Todd Smith, accused of killing his wife Katrina, in October 2012, has been postponed.

Witnesses: Katrina Smith of Machesney Park was considering a divorce before she was killed
Posted Feb. 1, 2016 at 3:48 PM
 Updated Feb 3, 2016 at 9:52 AM

Editor's Note: This story was edited to correct the date of the next hearing and the spelling of witness Bruce Edlund's last name.

ROCKFORD — Katrina Smith had made an appointment with a lawyer to talk about divorcing her husband, Todd C. Smith, before she was beaten to death with a baseball bat.

As an evidentiary hearing in a Winnebago County courtroom continued today, Vicki Wagner, secretary for attorney Tamika Walker of the Sreenan & Cain law firm, testified that Katrina Smith had scheduled a consultation for Oct. 29, 2012.

But Katrina Smith never met with Walker. Police say she was killed the night of Oct. 22, 2012.

"After the phone call, I remember seeing her name on TV," Wagner said.

Todd Smith has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder in his wife's death.

He is accused of beating her to death and throwing her body into the Rock River. His attorney, Winnebago County Assistant Public Defender Margie O'Connor, is expected to poke holes in the state's case by suggesting someone else killed Katrina.

New details about the case emerged at a rare hearing this week and should be admitted at his eventual trial, according to an argument by Winnebago County Assistant State's Attorney Marilyn Hite Ross. She is arguing before Judge John Truitt that potentially incriminating statements Todd and Katrina Smith made to others should be allowed during the trial. They both talked about their marriage falling apart, Hite Ross said. And Smith said during the investigation that he worried he could be arrested in connection with his wife's death, Hite Ross said.

The hearing is expected to conclude March 7.

Katrina Smith's stepfather, Bruce Edlund, testified that Todd Smith had told him that the marriage was in trouble when Katrina stopped joining them for church for several consecutive Sundays before her death. And in the week before she was killed, Edlund said, Katrina had texted questions inquiring about how to obtain an Illinois Firearm Owner's Identification Card. And she asked whether she could practice at a gun range without one.

Smith trial delayed
Posted: Saturday, February 6, 2016 10:00 am

ROCKFORD — The trial of a Machesney Park man accused of killing his estranged wife and disposing of her body in the Rock River has been delayed as attorneys continue to discuss what evidence should be admitted in the case.
 
The trial of Todd C. Smith, 48, was scheduled for Feb. 16, but the case was delayed as the state requested a hearing to get certain evidence admitted during trial. An evidence hearing has been scheduled for March 7.

Katrina Smith, 30, was reported missing on Oct. 23, 2012. Todd Smith reported her missing to the Roscoe Police Department on that date. She had been staying in Roscoe at that time, according to friends and family. Her body was discovered on Nov. 9, 2012 in the Rock River near Byron, Ill.

Todd Smith was arrested and charged with his wife’s murder on Nov. 24, 2012 and he has remained housed in the Winnebago County Jail during the process. His bail was set at $4 million in 2012, which was never posted.

An evidence hearing on the case was held Feb. 1
 
No new trial date has yet been scheduled.
