Shari Smith was preparing for her senior class trip and upcoming graduation from high school when she was abducted. She was taken on May 31, 1985, by Larry Gene Bell. Her parents arrived home to find her car in the driveway, but no sign of their daughter. Bell began calling and taunting the parents, saying he had her and she was fine. He even had her write out her "last will and testament" and mail it to them before he killed her. This whole story was wild and was featured on Forensic Files. For those interested in watching, the title of the episode was Last Will. This book was written by Shari's mother and discusses the kidnapping and murder of her daughter and how that impacted the family dynamic.
