In this episode of Hunting 4 Answers: In December 1985, sixteen-year-old Jeffrey Lynn Smith left school in Hot Springs, Arkansas and began the short walk home along her usual route. Just a few blocks from her house, she was last seen after parting ways with her boyfriend. She never made it home. Early records show the case was initially classified as a runaway, a decision her family says shaped the early response and slowed momentum. Decades later, Lynn remains missing, and the questions surrounding her walk home that day have never been answered.
