Smith appeared to have been shot in the head.
Investigators later discovered that minutes before the shooting, Smith had texted a friend telling her where she was in case anything happened to her, according to the documents. “Kwan” had kidnapped her, she wrote, and she was in the back of his truck.The friend wrote Smith back repeatedly, but she never replied.
Investigators later found a white Chevrolet pickup that was registered to Boyd, the documents say. The license plate had been removed and the truck was parked at an empty home with a chain and lock around the front door. During a search of Smith's home, investigators found a card on her dresser dated Oct. 3 and addressed to Boyd, according to the documents. Written in black Sharpie, a note inside read:"Kwan I know this isn't what we expected but WE ARE expecting!!!"
A nurse from a local clinic told investigators that Smith had gotten an ultrasound Oct. 5, the documents say. The nurse believed she was four and a half weeks pregnant.
