Amanda Smith Morrow, 39, was found dead on October 16, 2010, on a front porch in Waynesville, North Carolina. A teacher at Fairview School in Sylva with a background in dental hygiene, she had grown up in Catawba County and spent most of her life in Haywood County.

Investigators determined Amanda was a victim of domestic violence. Her estranged husband, Michael David Morrow, was arrested and charged with her murder after being found asleep at a nearby house with a recently fired pistol. The couple had been separated for several months; a domestic disturbance was reported at Amanda’s home the night before but deputies found no one there.

Amanda’s death deeply affected her family and community, including her son Christopher Smith, then a high school student. If anyone knew Amanda, her routines, or the events around October 15–16, 2010, please share what you remember.
