2023.03.21 02:38 Mundane_Whereas_2764 Kelly Nicole Smith: An Unsolved Homicide

Kelly Nicole Smith: A Homicide that Remains Unsolved
**This is my first post so please be kind and share any tips, ideas, & theories below! This story is in my hometown, by the way, which is why I decided to try and raise awareness to it.
Kelly Nicole Smith was born April 24, 1980, to John J. and Karen Godfrey of Natrona Heights, Pennsylvania, a small town 24 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. She graduated from Highlands High School in 1998 and was an administrative assistant at Glenshaw Glass.
She had a daughter, Katlyn, and a son, Jason. She was married to Jason W. Smith for approximately six years at the time of her death according to her obituary, yet her husband says it had been 10 years.
On June 14, 2007, Kelly’s body was located by a pair of fishermen in the Chartiers Run section of Allegheny River in Lower Burrell, a town less than two miles from Natrona Heights. She was found by a riverside spot known to attract local teenagers to party.
(Chartiers Run: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zvAkdmH5bv3uRwvh7?g_st=ic)
Despite being married, she was not living with her husband at the time of her death. According to him, they had been married 10 years and “split up a couple of weeks. She talked with me everyday, and I know we were getting back together.” They had split after a recent miscarriage Kelly had suffered, according to her mother.
Her son, Mason, was four years old at the time she died. She was residing with a man called Chad Stroup, who she had known in high school. They had recently reunited. He had allegedly moved from Indiana to be with her.
Kelly had gotten into an argument with him the night before she vanished. He was described by his own mother, Maria, and Kelly’s mother, Karen, as her boyfriend at the time.
The day before she was reported missing, Kelly had told her mother that Mason was sick and unable to attend daycare. Her mother offered to watch him, but Kelly declined.
The last time she was heard from was around 2a.m., by her husband. He received a call around that time from Kelly, and she asked, “What are you doing?” He responded with, “I’m sleeping,” and he could hear her crying as the phone was seemingly smacked out of her hand. And that was the last time he heard from her.
Whenever she failed to show up to drop off their son the following morning, Jason began to call her repeatedly, as did her mother. Karen Godfrey was the one to finally get ahold of Stroup, who said that they had gotten into an argument and that Kelly had “stormed off.”
Yet, according to her husband, she would never abandon Mason like that. Karen began to call, text, and get into contact with all of her friends. None of them had seen her.
Finally, several hours later, detectives were at their doorstep, interviewing family members and those who resided nearby. She lived across the river from where she was found, floating just below the Braeburn Lock and Dam.
(Photo of The Dam: https://www.flickr.com/photos/takomabibelot/3178843051)
Police questioned the boyfriend, her husband, and others, including a male friend who had allegedly taken a liking to Kelly in recent times.
In an 2008 article, police stated they wanted to talk with as many of 5 people who were parked near the Braeburn side of Lock and Dam No.4 on the night of June 13, 2007. They arrived before dark in a light colored pickup truck and a dark car. They pulled firewood down to the rocks and investigators believe they may have seen Smith.
Her funeral was held on Father’s Day. Stroup, insisted he would talk to police after the funeral, and instead left the state. He fled to Texas. His mother reported him missing on June 19.
Police chased him there, essentially, and did manage to speak with him, but nothing was ever released about the conversation or the details they uncovered. He was never officially named a suspect in the case.
Karen, Kelly’s mother, has been outspoken about how she believes investigators have done little in recent years to push this case forward, and has spoken out about how they could have ruined potential evidence at the scene of the crime, as well. Investigators initially believed her daughter had drowned, which Kelly believes may have led to a loss of important evidence, but adamantly states that she does not fault investigators and first responders in that regard.
Her father says that detectives prefers they do not talk to the media, and share little to no details about the investigation with anyone— including the family. One thing that has been kept under wraps is the cause of Kelly’s death.
The reward for answers to Kelly’s case remains at 20,000 as of June 2021.

2023.01.22 05:59 Celany Lets Give Karen (The Bus Monitor) H. Klein A Vacation Of A Lifetime!

I am not one of the Original Posters. Originally posted by u/Heavyballsareheavy in 2012 in Assistance**, then picked up later that year by** u/JubilationLee in news with a request for further information earlier this year by u/flossingjonah in IAmARequests**.**
I did some editing in the first post because of some of the additions that OP made that were not relevant to Karen's story.
Fact to hide the mood spoiler: In the US, as states enacted laws requiring children to go to school, how to transport them to and from school in rural areas was a challenge. Originally horse-drawn conveyances called "kid hacks" or "school wagons" were used. An auto company called Wayne Works appears to be the first to have built a horse-drawn school car, and then a later motorized one.
mood spoiler: gross story involving being forced to drink bodily fluids because bullying kids are assholes
Lets Give Karen (The Bus Monitor) H. Klein A Vacation Of A Lifetime! (20 Jun 2012)
As soon as I heard of Karen Huff Klein and what some condom worthy offspring have done to her, i had to create a fundraiser here for this nice lady.
Lets give Karen a vacation of a lifetime, lets show her the power of the Internets and how kind and generous people can be.
I have just created a fundraiser page for Karen:
http://www.indiegogo.com/loveforkarenhklein?a=714358
I have contacted her through Facebook, but she might be at work so might not have gotten the message yet.
If someone can let her know or send me her email so I can forward all the logins and details to her that would be great!
Details:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l93wAqnPQwk&feature=player_embedded
The video above shows the 68 year old bus monitor named Karen Klein being verbally abused by a group of condom worthy middle schoolers from Athena Middle School in Greece, New York.
Through the video you can hear them verbally berating the woman, calling her a bitch, fatass, poor, ugly, and various other words of the like. At one point in the video, you can hear one of the kids yell, “You’re so fuckin poor you fat ass,” in which Karen responds, “I try to live by some of these words, I try and it’s really hard,” which were the words written on her purse. Now, i don't know about you but that was fucking heart breaking. I have no idea why these horrible teens would want to bully a SENIOR CITIZEN to fucking tears, but i feel we need to do something, something that will bring some joy to her life.
She doesn't earn nearly enough ($15,506) to deal with some of the trash she is surrounded by. Lets give her something she will never forget, a vacation of a lifetime!

*EDIT: I removed a previous post in Askreddit due to people telling me its no place for fundraisers so I posted up here.
WORLDTRAVELERONEDAY told me he has her phone number so we will try and get a hold of her asap to let her know and transfer all the details to her.
*Update 1: Thanks WORLDTRAVELERONEDAY for the number. So i called and left a message, im going to guess she has a LOT of messages by now, but hopefully she calls back.
*Update 2: Thanks razorsheldon! Just called her neighbor, but she said she works for the district also and she is not allowed to say anything and just hung up, i don't want to harass anyone, what should do?
*Update 3: Just contacted WHAM13 news and they will pass on the details about this fundraiser to her and maybe get her in touch with me! Man, i wish i could see her reaction!
*Update 4: 1300$ in 3 hours!!! Thanks everyone you guys rock!
*Update 5: WOOHOO! Goal reached in under 5 hours, you guys are awesome!
*Update 6: 10,362$ .... holy shit, lets see if we can get her early retirement!
*Update 7: News picked it up, along with me:
http://www.metro.us/newyork/national/article/1146045--karen-klein-supporters-donate-thousands-for-school-bus-monitor-harassed-by-kids
*Update 8: Just spoke with Amanda, Karen's daughter, and vacation plans are a'brewin! Just so everyone knows, anything above and beyond the vacation cost will go directly to Karen, all of it!!
*Update 9: Transpired has just brought up a good point, will she be taxed on this amount? Can anyone shed some light on this topic?
StylesClashv3 gave a great explanation on taxes, so pretty much she wont pay anything because we have a 5,000,000 limit to the gifts we can give to others, i hope i understood that right.
*Update 10: Ok the people have spoken, all ideas will be with Karen's permission! No money will go anywhere other than her, she has full control of what to do with it.
*Update 11: Just got off the phone with Indiegogo, Im in the process of changing the payment info to Karen's details.
*Update 12: TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO STILL THINK THIS IS NOT LEGIT!
I know, i would think the same, but i want nothing to do with the money and my identity has been verified by at least 5 news agencies who called me within these few hours, i have spoke to Karen and her sister numerous times, and with the IndieGoGo team letting them know to transfer the details to her asap.
Stop making stuff up, ALL THE MONEY WILL GO TO KAREN.
And by the way she will be on Goodmorning America, Anderson Cooper and others tomorrow so watch your local news!
*Update 13: http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-bullied-bus-monitor-gets-40k-vacation-20120620,0,4780100.story

http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20120620/NEWS01/306200023/Greece-bus-monitor-bullying-video
*Update 14: So i just woke up to 125k... holy shit And CNN picked it up too
http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/21/us/new-york-bullied-bus-monitoindex.html?hpt=hp_c1
"The organizer did not respond to CNN requests for comment on the website." -yea, if you don't try in anyway to contact me then of course i wont respond
Update 15: [removed]
*Update 15: Thanks everyone, looks like IndieGoGo has been crashed with the Ddos of kindness!!!!
*Update 16: To all the accusations of me having any monetary gain or anything from this: I did not know about that fundraiser by case and I never wanted anything in return, ive spent these past two days in phone calls and interviews to bring light to this issue and to help Karen.
On the other note thank you everyone for your amazing support and help and those who are with Karen!
*Update 17: Wow, its been an absolutely hectic 3 days, I have pretty much been answering calls, emails, and doing interviews all day long for 3 days. I never thought it would be this exhausting. I hope the media blitz will slow down so i can get back to my regular life...
Again, im absolutely stunned at the insane support this is getting. Thank you everyone who donated! There are a lot more great causes out there so if you have more to spare, give!
Remember Karen Klein, the harassed bus driver who the Internet raised $700,000 for? She retired and is starting an anti-bullying foundation (23 Aug 2012)

Article Summary: Karen Klein ultimately was given more than 700k from the indigogo fundraiser. She retired and started an Anti-Bullying foundation, which she donated 100k to.

AmA Request: Karen Huff Klein, a bus monitor who suffered from bullying. (26 Oct 2022)
This is the video (Trigger warning: bullying) for anyone curious, if you remember. It was viral in 2012 and as a result, the whole Internet showed support and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to her.
Questions:
  1. How is your life now?
  2. Are you still working on bullying prevention?
  3. Has your story impacted society as a whole?
  4. How have you been changed personally since you suffered from the bullying?
  5. Are you a local celebrity in your hometown?
My attempt to find her was fruitless. Ms. Klein is still alive as far as I know. This obituary is NOT the bus monitor from New York. Her Twitter has remained inactive for over a decade, and her blog has not been updated since 2013. This FB account is also inactive, and appeared to be run by someone else.
The only update on the bullies is that in 2015, two of them forced a special needs kid to drink urine from a toilet. Ms. Klein reacted negatively to that incident. Since then, they have not come forward to apologize (or just reveal who they are), nor has anyone leaked their names. (4chan leaked their names in 2012, but they have now faded back into obscurity.)
Marked as Concluded since Karen got her money, and no info is available on if she took a vacation or just retired.
