Joel graduated in 92. I graduated in 91 and Mrs. Ramona Smith was my 4th grade teacher at the time of Connie's murder. Very nice family, have known them most of my life. I still stay in touch with Joel. Small world.

I graduated in '91. My grandfather was principal when Connie was murdered. Hit him pretty hard.

Small world...A relative of mine was principal there for many years prior to the mid-60s.

Thanks for posting this. Driving down Hwy. 167 tomorrow. Will say a little prayer when I drive past the Tioga exits.

Didn't know any of th ER principals past Phillips White. His predecessor was Earl Aiken.
I graduated from THS and left town to finish undergrad and graduate degrees. Had just moved back when that happened. Really didn't think Timber Trails was ever really the same after that.

My mom was good friends with Connie Smith. Her mom was my second grade teacher and all time favorite teacher I’ve ever had. She was so gentle, kind, and I used to ask my mom to do my hair in a “miss America” bun-a French twist-Like she wore everyday. My mom told me about Connie after I was in her class. Looking back, I don’t know how she managed to go on and be such a wonderful teacher and mentor after her one and only girl was murdered in such a way. Don’t know how anyone could go on.

Yes.

I was going to bump the thread last month and I just never got around to it.

Now it's 40 years.

He is still locked up at Angola. Will die in prison. Life sentence with no benefit of parole. He would have to get a pardon which ain’t happening.
