Savannah Smith was a happy 8 year girl, playing with her friends and family in and near her home in 2006. Sadly, she trusted a young man with horrific intentions that no one saw coming. She was later found brutally murdered in a nearby town. Thankfully, her soulless killer will remain behind bars and out of society for the remainder of his life. But we can never truly feel at peace knowing he stole Savannah’s life too soon. Join us in the closet this week for the tragic murder of Savannah Smith.
