Billy Smolinski Jr. was a likable, friendly, and outgoing guy.
In 2004, at 31 years old, Billy had just broken up with his girlfriend but made plans to spend the following weekend with one of his exes. He was upset over the breakup, but looking forward to a weekend out to help get his mind off of things.
But that weekend wouldn't happen.
A bunch of odd things would begin to happen. Billy allegedly asked a neighbor to feed his dog while he went out of town for a few days. But he left behind his truck and belongings. His family said he made no mention to them that he was leaving town, and they spoke regularly. He had also just returned from a trip to Florida.
The family knew something was wrong, but the police refused to investigate. Strange clues would start stacking up, leading the family to believe something bad had happened.
In 2009, they began working on 'Billy's Law'. This would offer, in part, a change to the databases and set up a central system for missing person reports, a system that all law enforcement have access to.
In December 2022, the bill was finally signed into law.
But we still don't know where Billy Smolinski is.
Although I'm certain that someone knows something.
