On Friday May 24, 1996, Kristin Smart calls her parents house to give them some good news, but when they don’t answer, she leaves them a message that said “good news, good news, I’ll call you Sunday. Sunday rolled around and Kristin still had not called back, but because it was Memorial Day weekend, her mother didn’t think it was odd and decided to wait for a call on Monday, but when Monday came around and the family still get a call from Kristin, they become worried, then panicked when Kristin’s University’s campus police call them asking if Kristin is with them. Was Kristin taking a long weekend with some friends, maybe a new boyfriend, or did something happen making it impossible for her to call her parents?
