The abductor


Paul S. Smith was her boyfriend in the early 1990s. He was young then, barely 20 and with no money. They met in a trailer park in Rolla, Mo., and later moved in together. He worked for a time as a mechanic. He helped raise her three young kids.

She says there were clues that maybe something was not right with Smith. Then, when he sexually abused her 10-year-old son, he tore apart the bonds of her family and left her with a lifetime of regret.

"I was stupid enough to let him stay in my trailer with me and my kids," the woman, now 53, said in an interview Thursday in the Rolla apartment complex where she lives.

For Smith, the case would mean years behind bars. It was also one of the red flags that led police to him in the abduction of Alisa Maier.

For his former girlfriend, Smith's death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound brings a sense of relief.

"I'm glad it's over," she said. "At least kids won't have to watch out for him."

Smith pleaded guilty of sodomy in 1995. He was 22 and reported that he had an eighth-grade education. Court documents show he also reported that he had been abused by a relative when he was young.

Where did he come from? His ex-girlfriend thinks it was Colorado; her sister believes it was Florida. Still another former friend thinks it was Louisiana.

In Missouri, the sodomy conviction sent Smith to prison for 11 years. After his release, he spent some time in St. Louis at the Park Val Apartments on Weil Avenue. Then, in 2009, he went on a crime spree of sorts.

In October of that year, police stopped Smith in the middle of the night near Rolla for going 102 mph on Interstate 44, according to a Missouri Highway Patrol report.

Asked what was inside a silver container hanging from the rearview mirror, Smith unscrewed the lid and exposed marijuana seeds. "Oh, I forgot those were in there," he told the trooper, according to the report.

He was charged for speeding, possession of up to 35 grams of marijuana and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.

He didn't stay out of trouble long. Just a month later, on Nov. 22, he went to Bowling Green, Mo., to visit an old friend.

The friend wasn't home - he's in state prison - but the father was there. Richard Fowler, 79, said he caught up with Smith for a few hours, snapped a picture of him and printed two copies of the picture - one for Smith and one for Fowler's son.

Later that night, someone broke into Fowler's house and stole $40, two air guns, two blank checks and credit cards. A call from Walmart awoke Fowler in the morning. Someone was trying to use his credit cards to make a purchase. Suspecting Smith, Fowler called police.

"When I went to get the picture to take to the police department, the picture was gone and the memory card was gone also," said Fowler. "He took everything."

The day after the break-in at Fowler's home, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department investigated another burglary, this one at the El Rancho Garage in Troy. The owner said someone had broken a glass door, stole the cash register, a $4,000 diagnostic tool and a 2005 Chevrolet Impala.

Police eventually connected Smith to both burglaries.

The Fowler case led to forgery charges, which were still pending at the time of Smith's suicide.

The repair garage break-in led to convictions for tampering and receiving stolen property. Smith was sentenced to five years in prison, but the execution of the sentence was suspended, and he was given 120 days of shock time instead.

As for the earlier drug case, Smith went back to Rolla last month and served three days in jail.

When he was released on June 23 - two weeks before Alisa's abduction - Fowler was required to register his address with the Missouri sex offender registry. He told authorities he would be at the apartment building on Weil Avenue. But he told his probation officer something else - that he would be at a cabin in Hawk Point.

He never notified police that he had moved there, and the state's online offender registry immediately labeled him as a "noncompliant" offender.

That put him in a small class of problem sex offenders. Nearly 93 percent of the state's 11,000 sex offenders comply with a state law that requires them to register with the local police department and check in regularly.

In the city of St. Louis, when police search for and can't find an offender, they can seek an arrest warrant, said police spokeswoman Erica Van Ross. That hadn't happened yet in Smith's case, she said. Officers typically issue warrants when they haven't heard from an offender "in a while," she said.

Smith is now gone, but his former girlfriend is still marked by his memory: A faded green tattoo on her ankle has the line of a heart around the letter P, for Paul. The Post-Dispatch is not naming her so as not to reveal the identity of her son, the abuse victim.

Years ago, she recalls, Smith was strict with her kids, two boys and a girl. But about a year into their relationship, she said, she started to worry. Smith always seemed to want to take the boys camping. She started asking neighbors to help watch the children.

She said her family eventually went to police following an incident in 1993, when Smith and an aunt of the boys argued about the boys spending the night with the aunt. At the aunt's home that night, one of the boys told about being abused by Smith, the aunt recalled.

"He gave that family more hell than we'll be able to live to forget," said the aunt.

The mother had her own issues. She eventually lost custody of the boys, and they were raised by other family members, going through years of therapy.

But today, their mother feels justice has finally been served.

"My oldest boy said if (Smith) ever got out of prison, he'd kill him," she recalled. "I said, ‘No, because he'll get his in the end.' And he got his in the end."

County officer describes coaxing details from a scared Alisa

FENTON • When St. Louis County police Officer Sean Becker went to a Fenton car wash about 9:45 p.m. Tuesday, he was checking out a report of a 6- to 8-year-old boy wandering about.

Instead, he was confronted with a younger child backed up against a wall of the car wash, very afraid.

Becker knelt and tried to get the child to look at him instead of the ground.

"Show me where you came from."

No response.

"Show me where Mom and Dad are."

Still, nothing from the child dressed in a T-shirt that read "Missouri Rocks," boys gym shorts and new gym shoes.

Finally, the child pointed toward Center Street, which runs past the car wash, and said, "Brown car."

When Becker placed the child in his patrol car, she grimaced, acting hesitant, nervous and scared. After being fastened in the seat belt, she suddenly seemed to feel safe and began to talk, Becker said in an interview Thursday with the Post-Dispatch.

"Are you a little boy or a little girl?" he asked. "A little girl?"

She nodded yes as he drove near Center Street. Thinking she lived nearby, he pulled over to see whether she could walk in the direction of her home.

About 20 to 30 feet later, she stopped walking and stared blankly at him.

"Do you know where you're at?" he asked her.

She nodded no.

"Then I thought of the little girl from Louisiana and thought this could be a 1 in a million chance that it's her," Becker said of the 4-year-old who had been kidnapped Monday from her front yard by convicted child molester Paul Smith.

Becker radioed back to his communications center and asked for her full name.

"Is your last name Maier?" he asked her.

She nodded yes.

He quickly checked her arms and legs for signs of bruising and found none. Then he took her to St. Clare Health Center in Fenton and called other officers to secure the scene.

Once at the hospital, nurses gave her a blanket and a drink. She was clutching a stuffed animal that people at the car wash had given her.

She was also more talkative.

"Do you have a brother?" Becker asked her.

"Yes, Blake. He's 6," she told him.

Becker snapped a few pictures of the child with his cell phone and sent the images to officers at the FBI command post so they could show her parents.

"They were in disbelief and shock that she was still alive," said Becker, an officer for St. Louis County since January 2007.

"It was an emotional experience. To be that lucky was amazing. I'm happy she's back with her family."

Are Child Abduction And Hawk Point Murder Connected? (with video)
Was Paul S. Smith Also Responsible For Business Owner's Murder?

HAWK POINT, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - As the Alisa Maier abduction case closes, police intensified their investigation into a second major crime in Hawk Point, Missouri – the Saturday murder of car repair garage owner Jeffery Smith. Two serious crimes in one week have left residents of this tiny town in Lincoln County stunned. But there are some interesting similarities police want to check out that could link kidnapping suspect Paul S. Smith to the murder.

Officers spent Thursday searching the wooded property where the kidnapper of Alisa Maier lived. It is on Highway D just north of 47. They were looking for evidence in both Monday's kidnapping of the little girl from Louisiana, Missouri and Saturday's murder of Hawk Point garage owner Jeffery Smith.

Police want to know if Paul S. Smith, the kidnapper who fatally shot himself Wednesday, could also be a murderer.

Lincoln County Sheriff's Department Captain Shayne Duryea explained, "Obviously it is a very unusual coincidence FOR two major incidents to occur in such close proximity to each other, especially in such a small community as Hawk Point where one incident like this would be rare . For two of them to occur within a few days of each other has given them reason to definitely look into that possibility."

Paul S. Smith was known to law enforcement here. He had a string of convictions, including one in February for stealing a car from a repair garage near Troy.

That similarity to the burglary and murder at Smitty's Garage in Hawk Point has locals thinking.

Don Buretta says Smith repainted the car stolen from El Rancho Garage, his family's business, just as he tried to do with the kidnapping getaway car, "When I heard he was repainting the vehicle, same M-O, it was shocking. Very shocking to find out that this guy, he should have been in jail a long time ago, just a repeat offender on everything. It just blows my mind, somebody like that is running around."

While investigators walked the land surrounding Paul Smith's home Thursday, those who knew murder victim Jeffery Smith shared their condolences with his family during a visitation at the Hawk Point Chapel of the Kemper-Marsh-Millard Funeral Home.

The funeral will be Friday morning at 11:00am.

Another Sex Offender Talks About Paul Smith (with video)
Man Who Knew Paul Smith Called Police To Tip Them Off

BOWLING GREEN, MO (KTVI-FOX2now.com) - There are many questions about Paul Smith, and his actions, that will never be completely answered, but one man with more than two decades of insight into Smith might provide a few answers. Richard Fowler says Smith and his son Jerry have been friends since the 1980s. Smith and the two Fowlers have one disturbing thing in common: all three have been convicted of sexual assault against a child. They're all sex offenders.

Fowler says he thought Smith was still in prison. It was when he discovered Smith got out in June that he says he contacted police.

"I just knew that he knew Louisiana," he said referring to the fact Smith spent much of his childhood in the town where he kidnapped Alisa Maier. "If he was out, it could very possibly be him because he's of small stature. I told them, gave them the information, and told them to check on him."

But due to his spot on the sex offender registry, Fowler says police also searched his house and property during the investigation.

Fowler says he was not surprised Smith might go after a child, but he says he found it curious Smith snatched a girl. His conviction, back in 1995, was for sexually assaulting a little boy.

"The only thing I was surprised about was that he picked up a girl, because I knew he liked little boys. I knew that for a fact. And I guess that's why he cut her hair off," he says.

He believes Smith's preference for boys had as much or more to do with the haircut than any attempt to conceal Alisa's identity.

As for Smith's suicide, Fowler thought the time the man had already spent in prison would have left him prepared to be caught. He's surprised he killed himself.

Asked what he thinks of opinions some have expressed that the world is better off without Paul Smith, Fowler's response was brief, "Yes," he said. "I believe that."

Jeff Smith murder weapon found at kidnapper Paul Smith's home

Hawk Point, Mo (KSDK) -- A second gun found at the Hawk Point home of Alisa Maier's kidnapper, Paul Smith was used to kill nearby auto shop owner Jeff Smith last weekend according to the Major Case Squad.

Detective Mark Schimweg said that ballistics tests showed the second gun found matched bullets fired at Smitty's Garage, where its owner Jeff Smith was found shot to death July 3.

Schimweg detailed the findings at a news conference in Troy, Missouri Friday afternoon.

This comes after Lincoln County authorities announced sex offender James B. Oellermann, Jr., who has ties to Paul Smith,  turned himself into the Alisa Maier task force Friday morning. He was said to be undergoing a polygraph test.

The gun used to kill Jeff Smith was not the one kidnapper Paul Smith used to take his own life Wednesday afternoon as detectives closed in on his home.  Detectives were going to question him about the abduction of Alisa Maier, the four-year-old girl who was kidnapped from her Louisiana, Missouri home Monday.  Maier was dropped off Tuesday night at a car wash in old town Fenton and was not injured.

Rumbling engines, squealing tires pay tribute to slain Hawk Point garage owner

HAWK POINT -- A gleaming procession of rumbling engines and squealing tires left a Hawk Point funeral home this afternoon in a tribute to a man who touched lives through his love of cars.

Jeffery "Smitty" Smith, 49, of Hawk Point, was found unconscious outside his shop on July 3. He died of a single gunshot wound to the head. The Major Case Squad continued following leads today.

Meanwhile, a representative of Kemper-Marsh-Millard Family Funeral Chapels said about 1,700 people gathered to pay their respects to Smith at Thursday night's wake and today's funeral. He was buried just over the hill from the green-roofed garage he operated for 11 years.

Smith's love of engines figured heavily into the funeral. A large white banner with a Chevy emblem adorned the front of the funeral chapel. Several pictures recalled cars he had worked on in the past. The ceremony closed with Foghat's "Slow Ride," according to a bulletin. Then, Smith's casket was loaded onto an old-fashioned hearse.

Jamie Keim, a funeral assistant at Kemper-Marsh-Millard, said hearse is a restored 1914 Chalmer that is used for special occasions.

Roy Gilbert, 68, of Moscow Mills, said Smith would have appreciated the hearse, although he might have made modifications of his own. "If he was around, it'd have a big block Chevy in it," he said.

Smith grew up around Hawk Point. He owned "Jeff's Garage" for five years before opening Smitty's. He also spent time working for AMed Co. in Warrenton, NAPA Auto Parts in Troy. He also was a fleet mechanic for the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department for a while.

The funeral program said he had a passion for rebuilding vintage and drag racing cars, street rods and hot rods. His most recent finished project was a 1931 Ford Coupe Street Rod and a 1988 S-10 Chevy truck rebuilt for drag racing with a big block engine.

Tony Sinclair, 40, of Hawk Point, said Smith's life had a huge impact through a sort of unofficial "big brother" program. Sinclair said he was one of many people who Smith encouraged to "stop by the shop" when they were younger. A lot of people in Lincoln County stayed away from drugs, alcohol and other kinds of trouble because Smith took an interest in them, he said.

"It was Jeff's passion for cars and his passion for people," Sinclair said.

Keim said Smith's family members appreciated the show of support they have received from people in the community. He had worked on many of the classic and hot rod cars that led the funeral procession, she said.

Keim said Smith's family has talked about having an annual car show in his honor.

Smith is survived by his wife Annette and son Matthew "Little Smitty" Smith of Hawk Point; his parents, Donald and Barbara Smith; one brother and one sister.
