Details of Disappearance:
Smiley and her 8-year-old son, Azriel, vanished on March 13, 2010, in Washington state. They were driving from Silverdale to Castle Rock to see family but got lost. They stopped at a house for directions around 10 pm – that was the last time anyone saw them.

The next day, Smiley’s van was found in the water on a beach. Her wallet and ID were inside, but her purse was gone. Over the following days, some of Smiley and Azriel’s belongings washed ashore nearby. Sadly, Azriel’s body was found a few days later on a beach 16 miles away. He died from accidental drowning.

Smiley hasn’t been found, and investigators think she likely drowned too. Before her disappearance, Smiley had some struggles with alcohol and the law, but her family says she was doing much better and was happy and engaged to be married. She had just graduated college and was looking forward to a new life.
