Circumstances of Disappearance

Dahmer sometime during the evening and returned to Dahmer's residence in West Allis, Wisconsin with him. A photo of Dahmer is posted below this case summary. Smith has never been heard from again.

Dahmer was arrested for numerous murders of young men in Wisconsin in 1991. He told authorities that Smith was one of his victims. Investigators believe that Smith's remains were destroyed by Dahmer and as such cannot be recovered. Among the other missing men presumed to be victims of Dahmer: Steven Hicks, Richard Guerrero, Steven Tuomi and David Thomas.

Dahmer was sentenced to life in prison for Smith's murder and other deaths in the early 1990s. He was killed in prison by a fellow inmate in 1994.
