UNRESOLVED #28 - Deborah Kaye Smith

In 1983, 10-year-old Debbie Smith vanished from a Massillon, Ohio carnival. Her body was found two months later. Police say there is DNA evidence in the case, though so far, they haven't found a match. We take a closer look at this case, it's relation to the murders of other young girls in the same period, and some theories about what might have happened.This episode has been done with the assistance of Akron Beacon Journal reporter Stephanie Warsmith and Canton Repository reporter Nancy Molnar.
