1983 - Auburn, Maine.

While hiking in Mount Apatite Park in June of 1983, a woman stumbled on the body of 36-year-old William Lester Smith partially hidden under scavenged sheet metal and forest debris. William was part of a mineral club at home in Massachusetts, and had come to the park to search its quarries for treasure.

Two days prior, William had been seen in the company of 16-year-old Jeff Smith. The pair were not related.

It didn’t take police long to arrest their suspect. But in the eleventh hour as the trial inched closer, a narrative from the defense emerged that changed everything.
