When they turned to the police for help, they were told the same thing that so many families of missing adults are told: "Just wait; he’ll be back." But Billy Smolinski didn’t come back. August 24, 2022 will mark 18 years since the Waterbury, Connecticut resident was last seen, and despite someone going to prison on a charge related to his disappearance, the Smolinski family is still fighting for answers and justice for Billy.
If you have any information regarding the disappearance of William “Billy” Smolinski please contact the Waterbury Police Department at 203-574-6941 or the New Haven FBI Office at 203-777-6311. You can also email the family directly at [email protected]

Lisa Jameson
On November 4, 1991, 23-year-old Lisa Jameson had a secret. Even though it was a good secret, she was still nervous about it. Lisa had just found out that she was pregnant with her second child. She was thrilled with the idea of expanding her family, but she wasn’t as sure that her husband, Alan, would share her excitement. But we don’t know if Lisa ever had the chance to find out. On that morning, she left work after a night shift, dropped off a co-worker in Chandler, Arizona, and was never seen alive again. Now, 30 years later, the son who was left behind is still searching for answers, and above all, justice for his beloved mother.
