- Details of Disappearance:
- On January 21, 2017, a woman named Smith disappeared from her apartment complex in Enterprise, Alabama. Witnesses heard a gunshot near her apartment that night. Later, her boyfriend, Malcolm Hunter, was seen alone using Smith’s car at an ATM.
Police found Smith’s car with her phone and wallet inside, but there was a lot of blood. Tips led police to Smith’s gun in a vacant lot and to Hunter’s blood-stained clothes. Hunter was arrested and charged with murder.
He initially denied knowing what happened to Smith, but later said his aunt shot her. Police investigated but found no evidence of this at the aunt’s apartment.
At trial, evidence showed the blood in the car was Smith’s. Witnesses testified to seeing Hunter with what looked like a dead woman in his car and to him asking for help getting rid of a gun. The jury quickly found Hunter guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole because of his prior criminal record. Smith’s body was never found, but everything points to her boyfriend being responsible for her death, leaving behind two young children.
