One mother, who I’ve been emailing, is allowing me to share the first email she sent me and photos she’s sent me since. She is now trying to get investigators to take another look at her son’s case and is talking with another mother who’s son drowned earlier this year. While the FBI and many local law enforcement agencies are discounting the Smiley Face Killer possibility, the parents of the men who have drowned should not be discounted. They are passionate, diligent and will do almost anything to find the truth.

“Hi,

I have been living in pure hell for over 10 years, since my son disappeared from a bar in PA, and his body was found 2 days later in the water. I just found out about these young men yesterday, and about the men investigating the possible links. Is there any way you can put me in touch with these men. I don’t know the time frame they have on the young men found, but my son went missing on April 4, 1998, and was found on April 6, 1998.

Please I beg of you help me find out more information on this investigation. I am living a nightmare!

Thank you,

Danny’s Mom”

It’s been two months since we aired the Smiley Face Killer investigation and questions from people around the world keep coming. I’ve received news clippings, pictures and letters from people all over the country and emails from interested folks in Canada and Europe. The Canadian emails are actually quite frequent. There are many people there who have wondered about a string of drownings that have a lot in common with the U.S. cases. Because of the attention our investigation got in the States, many amateur sleuths are hard at work in Canada.

The FBI still, to my understanding, is not launching a new investigation into the drownings of 40 college male students. The parents of the drowning victims have teamed up and are circulating a petition. This has only been distributed by the families for the last week and one father has already collected over 8,000 signatures! Steve Jenkins in the Twin Cities has received several petitions signed by strangers sent to his house. The families plan to spend the summer collecting the signatures hoping a groundswell of support could sway the FBI.

A couple cases of interest:

TOMMY BOOTH:

He’s the young man who was found drowned in a creek behind a bar in Ridley Township, PA earlier this year. The Detectives working the case in PA feel his death may not be an accident. The Medical Examiner has done new tests to see if foul play was involved. His mother is anxiously waiting for results.

BRANDON SWANSON:

There is no reason to include him in this case except that so many of you have emailed me about his case. Since his body hasn’t been recovered and the Police aren’t sure what happened to him, his disappearance is still a mystery. Swanson went missing in western MN earlier this summer. Extensive searches have been done and there has been no sign of him. The searching is now focusing on a nearby creek.

Smiley Face Killers

This case seems to have come and gone. I think it’s worth renewed interest. The father of homicide victim Matt Kruziki speaks out against the inaction of police to investigate the Smiley Face Killers. Kristi Piehl (Investigative Reporter KSTP-TV) broke the story on the Smiley Face Serial Killers’ investigation being conducted by retired NYPD detectives Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte (www.nationwideinvestigations.us), who are now confident they’ve discovered a nationwide criminal network, concluding that a large, organized group with a hierarchical structure is responsible for the killings.

A second congressman has called on the FBI to take another look at the case of the so-called ‘Smiley-Face’ killers after a 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS investigation revealed new details about the case late last month. “It has come to my attention that recent press reports indicate new evidence linking the drowning deaths of a large number of college-aged men across the country,” Rep. Michael R. McNulty, D-NY, wrote in a letter to the FBI earlier this month.

“I am aware that the FBI investigated this matter previously, but it appears that some of these cases may be linked. In light of this new evidence, I respectfully request that the FBI re-open its investigation.” McNulty is the second member of congress to contact the FBI regarding the case. At the beginning of May, Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., R-Wisconsin, made a similar request of the FBI after seeing our investigation on the national news. Read more
