This installment details a daylight kidnapping. Carlie Jane Brucia (March 16, 1992 - February 1, 2004) was sexually battered and murdered by career criminal Joseph P. Smith (March 17, 1966 - July 26, 2021) after being kidnapped from a car wash near her home in Sarasota, Florida on February 1, 2004, while walking home from a friend's house. The 11-year-old girl (who would turn age 12 in 44 days) was reported missing by her parents within half an hour of her abduction. The kidnapping case became famous after a surveillance video showing the girl surfaced. The video, taken from a security camera located behind a car wash, shows Brucia being confronted by a man, later identified as Smith, who then grabbed her arm and led her away toward a car that was spotted on another camera. The video was shown nationwide and spurred a massive manhunt for the abductor. Smith was apprehended, convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
