Prayer vigil Thursday for missing Machesney Park woman
Posted Oct 31, 2012 @ 11:01 PM

MACHESNEY PARK — The public is invited to attend a prayer vigil at 7 p.m. Thursday at Schoonmaker Park in support of the family of Katrina Smith.

The 30-year-old Machesney Park woman has been missing since Oct. 22.

“We’re just trying to get as many people out there as possible to show support for us,” said Smith’s brother, Chad Kaltved, 38, a member of the U.S. Army’s special operations who is on leave and is heading up community search efforts.

Wednesday’s search expanded to Atwood and Hononegah forest preserves, several miles from Ventura Boulevard and Obispo Road where Katrina’s vehicle was found unoccupied Oct. 23.

Kaltved said his family is working with Crime Stoppers to offer a cash reward, and he remains in daily contact with the police.

“They just told me to be patient,” he said of Winnebago County Sheriff’s detectives. “They are getting a lot of information from the community, and they’ll have something that they can share with me.”

Missing Woman's Husband Speaks Out


 ::snipping2::

"She said I will be back later and that was the last we had heard of her," said Katrina Smith’s husband.

Smith is speaking out for the first time since he reported his wife missing.

Now, 7 days later, search crews continue to scour Schoonmaker Park near where Katrina’s purse and car were found abandoned, her wallet found days later in Rockford.

“It's overwhelming, the outreach, the love and the support of everyone, and I am deeply grateful and I know Katrina would appreciate it as well."

Smith says he and Katrina didn't live in separate homes, like police reported, but that his wife was house sitting in Roscoe. He says the two have been happily married for seven years and that he is devastated by her disappearance.

"I just want her to call or come home or let us know she's safe,” Smith said.

Volunteers suspend search for Katrina Smith to gather in her honor
Posted: Nov 01, 2012 10:45 PM CDT Updated: Nov 01, 2012 10:45 PM CDT



Supporters use the power of the word as motivation in the search for missing Machesney Park woman Katrina Smith. Thursday night, dozens of people gathered at a prayer vigil in her honor.
 
Stories, prayers, and tears. People shared all of those at Katrina Smith's vigil. She disappeared last Tuesday and hasn't been seen since. Smith's half-brother Chad Kaltved, whose military background helps him focus on the search, spoke at the gathering. Even he couldn't help but let emotions take over.
 
"We're tired, we're frustrated, we're confused, but we're thankful, we're optimistic, we're motivated still." -says Kaltved.
 ::snipping2::
Along with Thursday's vigil, one of Katrina's relatives made an announcement. Another gathering for her will take place next week. We'll have more information on that as it becomes available to us.
 
People took the day off from searching, but according to Kaltved, they'll be back at it on Friday. He says he has 10 or 15 friends from the National Guard coming to assist in the search.

MACHESNEY PARK — Over the past week, family and friends of Katrina Smith scoured woods, ditches and the banks of the Rock River in search of the 30-year-old Machesney Park woman.
 
They handed out more than 1,000 posters with Smith’s face and reached out to every local media outlet.
 
Thursday, they prayed.
 
Several hundred people, some wearing yellow ribbons, gathered at a candlelight vigil at Schoonmaker Park, not far from where Smith’s vehicle and other items belonging to the woman were found.

Search for Katrina Smith Continues

The brother of a missing Machesney Park woman says he will not give up until Katrina Smith is found.

After a nearly two week search, friends and family members are back on the hunt once again. Volunteers are walking in groups through Camp Winnebago. Smith's brother said the search party will start working its way through other parks in the Stateline. You may remember Smith's car and purse were found last month in Machesney Park. Her wallet was picked up in Rockford. Family members said they are trying not to lose hope.

yes, that is correct. they are branching out which is a huge undertaking...she could be anywhere. but at least the family is participating and keeping the momentum going.  so different from other cases where the family members stay home while others searched.. The Anthonys comes to mind along with many others.
