Attention Kansas City: KnowThis Truck?
There probably isn't anyone in the Kansas City area who hasn't heard about the Kelsey Smith kidnapping but if you're from the area and haven't seen the video of the "70's model pickup truck" take a look. Maybe you know this truck? Maybe someone's got a better link to a video than mine- it's not too clear but looks like one of our models.

Re: Attention Kansas City
Well according to the KC news reports they just found the body of the poor girl. I hope they catch the bastard and fry his ass.
Thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

Re: Attention Kansas City
My prayers go out to her family, and I hope they catch the person responsible and soon. She was abducted about 1.5 miles from where I work.

Re: Attention Kansas City
I have first hand knowledge of losing your daughter and there is nothing worse. Hopefully when he gets to his extended stay facility his new neighbors carry out justice. Very, very slowly.

Re: Attention Kansas City
Well, It is official. They found and identified that poor girls body. This is very sad indeed. Hopefully they will catch the people who did it.

Re: Attention Kansas City
I just saw the video on the news for the first time and immediately thought the truck was a 69-72 chevy, but now I'm wondering if it's a 73-79.
What do you all think? I'm sure they will enhance the photo better than that. This guy needs to pay with his life, QUICK !!! Rob |

Re: Attention Kansas City
That is a real shame and I really feel for anyone or family that has gone through a situation like this.

Re: Attention Kansas City
they arrested a subject last night, I saw the press release on that, I think the truck with the enhanced video looks like a 74-78 model.. what a loss of a young life!

Re: Attention Kansas City
I looked again, trying to freeze the video as it went by. I think it is a post 72 model.

Re: Attention Kansas City
I studied the video of the truck hard when it first came out. IMO, there is no doubt it is a '83- '84 GMC. It's tough to make out, but the door mirror, front fender line, and especially the grille & headlights are what makes me think this. If you pause the right shot of it just as it comes up to the pole turning into the isle, you can see the single horizontal and double vertical grille bars with dual "stacked" headlights. Only GMC's have a grille like that. But I must be wrong- Johnny Dare, the find Kelsey website, and two different detectives I talked to on the phone just brushed me off.
