Jeffrey Lynn Smith, known as Lynn, was 16 and living in Hot Springs, Arkansas when she vanished in the winter of 1985. She was reportedly last seen on December 4, 1985, walking home from school on Silver Street with her boyfriend; they parted ways a few blocks from her house and Lynn never arrived home. At the time she went missing she wore pink pants, a brown jacket, tan shoes and a gold opal ring she reportedly never took off.

Her family disputed an early classification of the case as a runaway; they said Lynn would not have missed curfew or disappeared without contact. The boyfriend pawned her opal ring after she vanished, and Lynn’s sister later reported he had been abusive and that Lynn wanted to end the relationship. He was imprisoned for assaulting another girlfriend but has not been charged in Lynn’s disappearance.

The case was later reclassified as endangered missing, reopened in 2008 as a homicide investigation, and investigators have named a person of interest whose identity is not public. Does anyone who lived in Hot Springs in 1985 or who knew Lynn have information that could help her family?
