Stacey Smart was last seen at her home in 2016 in Trinity County, California. When she failed to show up for Halloween with her daughter, the family grew concerned. She was reported missing the same day Sherri Papini’s high-profile and ultimately fake kidnapping made headlines. Years later, Stacey’s family is still searching for answers.
Mystery of woman who was reported missing the same day as Sherri Papini remains unsolved

Nicole is my step mom and Michael Hamann is my Dad… When I got the news I remember crying while at a football game at the high school I went to. I still pray for the closure my family deserves… As the old saying goes what's hidden in the dark will come to light.
Stacey wasn't skinny, young or married. So not worthy of putting all efforts into searching for her.
Stacey Smart is my mom’s befriend’s daughter.
Makes me angry she hasn't gotten the attention the other girl did.
The family needs closure..
I've never heard of this lady missing and that's sad! He knows imo where she is just tell that family so they can have closure. This lady doesn't seem the type to not contact her daughter or mother if she was able to and let them know she is ok. This guy needs to be in jail !!!! Remember that face ladies …..he looks susp to me! 🙏 For Sherri and her family. I hope she is found safe 🙏🕯️
Thts crazy. He off'd her!
Is the fact that she has the same last name as Elizabeth Smart a coincidence too?
💔 How has this tragic true story never been mentioned before?? 😢😢 Heartbreaking Condolences to her family and friends 💐 💐 💐
**And it’s obvious that the bf is responsible. Bastard.
So sad there are so many selfish ppl faking kidnapping and taking the time and money away from REAL missing ppl. Sherri isn’t the only one. Even a dad who faked his death. They really should be forced to pay it back. Get the money one way or another. Then use it to help find the truly missing loved ones. How do ppl live with themselves. Oh ya with drugs n alcohol addiction. They can’t stand themselves even. My guess.
Michigan here 👋✌️👍
He killed her 😢
🙏🙏
What about her children??
Got new tires on truck? I'd be looking for the old ones.
Is there any more coverage of her missing? While I’m sure Stacey’s family is happy for the exposure, it’s hard to tell more about her in 5 minutes 🙏🏼
Praying for Stacey’s return, like her Mom said “however that may look” 🙏🏼 along with prayers for her family, friends & all who love her.
Every life is important. And deserving of searching until there’s a resolution. I hope this results in people coming forward with any information they may have, that will keep Stacey’s story from going silent 🙏🏼
Just proves that media can be the biggest enemy to the people
She is from my hometown and got no attention. Sherri lied.
The reason I believe this poor family was put on the back burner is because Papini was petite and pretty. Good looking people get the attention, the opportunities, the love, the care, and so much more than the average person. Trust me, I know from experiences! I am not pretty and therefore, my life has sucked!!!
My heartfelt blessings ❤ and love go out to the family and friends. He won't take a lie detector test because he knows he will be found out.
grabbed all the resources ?? why ?? they choose to apparently , cause they should've put in the same amount of effort in both cases!!! and its the medias fault most people doesn't know about this case, I've heard about this case once and literally 0 details , just another woman was missing, terribly heartbreaking , and still no answers ? smh sad just sad
Everyone in Lewiston knows it was her boyfriend the local karaoke dj killed her. He even ripped out a huge piece of rug in his trailer. He has now moved and got away with it. Sad

I hope Sherri is embarrassed, ashamed and haunted by her stupid actions!
Stacey could have been found if not for liar Sherri’s attention grabbing CRIME!
It's discusting that SP missing was all over the place and she was lying while this poor woman is still missing???
I hope and pray they find out what happened to her. 🙏🏽
Someone know something,i just prey for that the person tell the police. Love from Sweden Tess
He knows where she is
I hate this case got over shadowed by a fake and a fraud. Yet a real woman needed the world!
Hey yesterday I heard Sebastian Rodger parents are ready to talk to any news networks. Maybe try calling them? It came from the step father Chris proudfoot. He is calm and ready.
Thanks for 47 k sabscribe ❤
🙏❤️❤️🙏
Sherri papini was not the first to drain resources the great escape during WW2 was the first
The purpose of the great escape during WW2 is to drain German resources
I’ve never heard about this.
