Police Seek Felony Abduction Warrant In Disappearance of Brittany Mae Smith
Police Say Someone Might Be Helping 32-Year-Old Jeffrey Easley Hide Brittany
We've obtained a felony warrant for abduction for Mr. Easley and we're
certainly pursuing him to execute this warrant," Chief of Roanoke County
Police Ray Lavinder said at a press conference. "Never forget the fact that
she's a 12-year-old girl in the company of 32-year-old man, she's at risk
and we're very concerned about her safety."
Police first issued an Amber Alert for Brittany on Monday after discovering
the body of her 41-year-old mother, Tina Smith.
After an autopsy results, the death was ruled a homicide. Police said that
finding Brittany and Easley is key to the murder investigation.
**********
I think that once we locate Brittany -- and we're concerned about her safety
and that's paramount in our objectives here -- once we locate her and Mr.
Easley, I think that will open a lot of doors for us in the homicide
investigation," Lavinder said.
The chief also said that investigators believe someone may be helping Easley
and Brittany.
"I'm almost positive that someone out there knows where Brittany and Mr.
Easley are. The weather has been very bad . they need food. Someone, if they
are still in this region, is hiding them, I'm certain of that," Lavinder
said.
Easley's mother, Sallie Martin, appeared at a police news conference Tuesday
to plead with her son to turn himself in.
