Thank God for saving this little girl and for saving the taxpayer the burden of housing this puke for the rest of his life.

Paul S. Smith, perp.

Prayers work. Looks like even Paul came to the correct decision.

"Smith, the suspect, was convicted in 1995 of sodomy of a 10-year-old and served about 11 years in prison. He is listed on the Missouri sex offender registry as a noncompliant offender, meaning he has not informed authorities of his current address."

Our laws need to be changed. He was "noncompliant," yet they found him that very day LIVING AT HOME. He owned a car, so the DMV, at the very least, knew where he was. Had the state done its job appropriately, this would never have happened. And: if you rape a 10-year-old, you should NEVER again be allowed out into society.

Thanks for the update. Nancy Grace had a scroll on during her show last night - claiming he was dead - but no LE would confirm it.

There is also a report that the murder of Jeff Smith, Hawks Point, may be related to this same suspect.

Good news! He looks like scum.

I can not imagine what compels people to sexually abuse a child. Not sure if it is a form of mental illness, or just plain evil.

Seems like it can not be cured based on the number of repeat offenders. It would be interesting to know whether he released the girl after having a moment of sanity or some other reason.

I think this guy figured out the only cure for his compulsion.

Smith received a suspended execution of sentence earlier this year for tampering with a motor vehicle and receiving stolen property in Lincoln County. He also served three days in jail two weeks ago after a 2009 guilty plea for marijuana possession and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, according to court records.

Just two weeks ago, insane.

At least the filthy bag of monkey crap came to the correct decision and wasted himself.

Video please.....

Thanks for posting this. I am glad he will not be hurting anymore children. I just can’t feel sorry for anyone who does this to a child regardless of their past. I think people do know right from wrong and there just is not enough excuses for what he did.

[cubreporter]

A little angel has been spared. Thank you, God.

The perp is dead.

Got the girl back alive and the slug saved the taxpayers a ton of money by offing himself.

Good news!
