Police: Arrest Made In Kelsey Smith Homicide
Kansas City Channel ^ | 6/6/07

Posted on 06/06/2007 9:53:32 PM PDT by peggybac

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- An arrest has been made in the homicide investigation of 18-year-old Kelsey Smith.

Late Wednesday night, police said Edwin R. Hall, 26, of Olathe, was being held in the Johnson County Jail in connection with the slaying of Smith.

Law enforcement crews combing a large wooded area near Longview Lake Wednesday found a body believed to be missing teenager Kelsey Smith, who was abducted from an Overland Park Target store parking lot Saturday night.

Overland Park Police Chief John Douglass said Smith's body was found about 1:30 p.m. across the state line near Grandview, Mo., about 20 miles east of the abduction site.

Positive identification was pending, but Douglass said volunteer searchers could stop their work. He did not say how the woman was slain, but KMBC reported that there were signs of trauma to the body.

"As I understand she was found at a wooded area, but I can't say whether she was directly concealed by bushes," Douglass told reporters during an afternoon news conference.

Is her page still up? I thought I had found it, based on her name in the witness list via the site you linked to ( the blog that linked to the photos you posted).

Does it now have the quote “if you can’t be a good example, you’ll just have to be a terrible warning”?

Or am I looking at the wrong myspace page?

Neighbors told KMBC’s Jere Gish that Hall moved into a home on Lincoln Street in Olathe about six months ago with his wife and 4-year-old son. People knew him as Jack.

Edwin Roy Hall

“(He was) just your normal, average guy. (He) liked to work on cars and goof around on motorcycles and lawnmowers,” neighbor Cameron Migues said.

Migues lived next door to Hall. Migues said he talked to him several times a week, and their children played together.

Migues said that his wife then saw the surveillance picture that police had released of the person of interest in the Smith case.

“She looked at the pictures and said, ‘That looks like our neighbor.’ We both kind of laughed it off at first, and then when I saw the pictures of the truck. I was, like, well?” Migues said.

Gish reported that Hall owned a pickup truck like the one police had been searching for.

Migues said he called authorities Wednesday morning.

“I called the TIPS Hotline and gave them the information, and a couple of hours later, there were police officers sitting here watching the house,” Migues said.

Police have been in the neighborhood since Hall’s arrest, Gish reported.

“I was shocked. I was shocked,” neighbor Tersa Dart said.

Dart lives across the street from Hall.

“He didn’t really speak to anyone or say anything to anyone. We didn’t know him well,” Dart said.

Dart said she was surprised by Hall’s arrest.

“He has a kid, so I didn’t think he’d be capable of doing anything like that,” Dart said.

A MySpace.com page that purportedly is Hall’s, shows a picture of him with the name Jack and describes him as a “sweet troubled soul.”

A list under Jack’s general interests includes, “eating small children and harming small animals.”

Hall is being held in jail on $5 million bond.

From his wife's myspace, she says:

"I moved back to Olathe then back to Wichita then back to Olathe then to Walthill NE then Souix City IA then back to Olathe then to south KCMO and now back in Olathe. I also moved to different places within the towns I lived in."

I hope that they're looing at ALL missing young girls in all of those places since they lived together in those towns and states....Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, IA, and "different places within the towns!"

Evidently, the jocosheriff.org booking report section posted the wrong photo late last night, as that’s where the one came from that I posted.

It wasn’t making sense to me, either, because he looked nothing like the video, but I didn’t know if the video person had dark hair or was wearing a cap.

When I saw it again today, they had another angle and I could see it was hair - so I was glad to come to FR now and see the (much ickier) real booking photo they evidently switched out today.

Oh, well. I thought the info I found in KS unclaimed property for a paycheck to him from Target was really interesting. I saw just now on TV where they quoted it.

I wonder if he chose the name "jack" on purpose as a reference to the old folk tune "Jack Hall" about the British chimney sweep hanged for his crimes, or if that's just a creepy coincidence.

Oh my name it is Jack Hall,
Chimney sweep, chimney sweep,
Oh my name it is Jack Hall, chimney sweep.
Oh my name it is Jack Hall,
And I've robb'd both great and small,
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die,
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.

I have twenty pounds in store,
that's no joke, that's no joke,
I have twenty pounds in store, that's no joke.
I have twenty pounds in store
And I'll rob for twenty more,
And my neck shall pay for all
When I die, when I die,
And my neck shall pay for all when I die.

O they tell me that in goal
I shall die, I shall die
O they tell me that in goal, I shall die.
O they tell me that in goal
I shall drink no more brown ale,
But be dash'd if ever I fail
Til I die, til I die
But be dash'd if ever I fail till I die.

O I rode up Tyburn Hill
In a cart, in a cart
O I rode up Tyburn Hill in a cart.
O I rode up Tyburn Hill,
and 'twas there I made my will,
Saying, "The best of friends must part,
So, farewell, so, farewell."
Saying, "The best of friends must part
So, farewell."

Up the ladder I did grope,
that's no joke, that's no joke
Up the ladder I did grope, that's no joke.
Up the ladder I did grope,
and the hangman spread the rope,
O but never a word said I,
coming down, coming down,
O never a word said I coming down.
