CNN) -- After finding her mother dead inside their home, police issued an Amber Alert for a 12-year-old Virginia girl who they believe has been kidnapped.

Brittany Mae Smith was last seen "several days ago," according to a Roanoke County statement issued Monday. Police launched a search for Jeffrey Scott Easley, 32, described by authorities as a friend of the dead mother.

"Police have said that the young lady is in extreme danger," said Teresa Hamilton Hall, public information director for Roanoke County.

Roanoke County police went to a Salem, Virginia, residence around 9:30 a.m. Monday after being contacted by concerned co-workers of Tina Smith, the girl's mother. They found the 41-year-old woman's body inside, and police said they were investigating the death as a possible homicide.

Police soon got information that Brittany Smith's whereabouts were unknown, leading them to issue the statewide alert.

"We found out pretty quickly that (Brittany) had not shown up for school. Nobody seemed to know where she was. We're concerned that her disappearance is going to be, at least a good possibility, it has something to do with the homicide," Roanoke County police Lt. Chuck Mason said, according to CNN affiliate WSET of Lynchburg, Virginia.

Virginia's Amber Alert website noted early Monday evening that Easley's car, a 2000 red Chevrolet SUV, has been found. But authorities are still looking for Tina Smith's vehicle, a silver 2005 Dodge Neon four-door sedan with Virginia license plates.

Easley, a 265-pound white male, is 5 feet, 11 inches tall, has brown hair and hazel eyes, the Amber Alert says.

Brittany Smith is 5 feet tall, weighs 100 pounds, and has straight brown hair and brown eyes.

Hall said authorities don't yet have a specific search area, as they are uncertain which direction Easley might be heading or how far he might have gotten.

Missing Teen and Mother Previously Featured on ABC 13

An Amber Alert remains in effect for 12-year-old Brittany Mae Smith after her mother, Tina Smith, was found dead in their Roanoke County home.

If the names Tina and Brittany Smith sound familiar to you, it's because ABC 13 did a story with them a year and a half ago about Tina's son, Tyler.

He died while playing the fainting game a game where those who take part suffocate themselves on purpose to get a "high."

Tina and her daughter, Brittany, were trying to raise awareness about this game.

"It'll prevent another mom from going through this, another life being lost, another sister crying out in her sleep for her brother, that's the whole purpose of Tyler's cause," said Tina Smith.

It is so odd. So the girl only knew this man for two months and is using his last name on fb and myspace?

[MENTION=3926]misssmartypants[/MENTION] I can't figure it out later, unless [MENTION=2771]hellsbells[/MENTION] is thinking that the 12 year old was dating that man
 
UPDATED: Survelliance video shows Easley and missing girl in Salem Walmart
Roanoke County police release an image of Brittany Mae Smith and Jeff Easley taken Friday night
In a news conference Tuesday afternoon Roanoke County police said Brittany Mae Smith and Jeff Easley were seen in Walmart in Salem Friday night. Police have surveillance video of the pair shopping at the store between 8:00pm and 8:30pm.

Authorities say 32-year-old Jeff Easley used Tina Smith's credit card to purchase items in Walmart. Salem Police have issued warrants for Easley for credit card fraud and credit card larceny. Tina Smith, Brittany's mother, was found murdered in her home Monday. Police also believe Jeff Easley is using Smith's car, a silver 2005 Dodge Neon.

Jeff Easley's mother, Sallie Martin, made a plea directly to her son to contact her or police. She urged Jeff to take Brittany to a safe place and return her or call 911. She told her son that she loved him and that they would work this out.

Police say the first phase of the autopsy on Tina Smith has been completed and they are now treating the case as a homicide investigation. Police would not reveal of cause of death.

Authorities have received more than two-hundred tips since the investigation began. They are now hoping shoppers who were in Walmart in Salem on Friday night will call them and give details about seeing Jeff Easley and Brittany Mae Smith in the store.

Authorities in Roanoke County believe 12-year-old Brittany Mae Smith is still in grave danger and are appealing to her friends for information.

Smith is believed to be with 32-year-old Jeffrey Scott Easley, a friend of her mothers who she met online this summer. Easley moved into Tina Smith's home in October. Tina Smith was found dead Monday in her home on Fort Lewis Circle. The medical examiner is still conducting the autopsy of Tina Smith. Authorities hope to have a cause of death by Tuesday afternoon.

Easley was last seen in Southeast Roanoke Friday night. Tina Smith and her daughter, Brittany, were seen leaving their home Friday morning, according to Lavinder.

When asked if Brittany Mae Smith was abducted, Roanoke County Police Chief Ray Lavinder answered that they feel confident that she is with Easley. Easley has connections to Eastern North Carolina and Alabama. Police are checking in both areas for any information about Easley.

Chief Lavinder is asking for people to be on the lookout for the 2005 Silver Dodge Neon, VA XKF-2365, Tina Smith's missing car.

Tips have been coming in to Virginia State Police and local authorities. Chief Lavinder says these tips have been helpful and asked the public to continue to call and email. A new email address findbrittany@roanokecountyva.gov has been set up to help handle the tips coming in.

Community waits, holds hope as search continues for missing girl
As the massive search continued Tuesday for missing 12-year-old Brittany Mae Smith of Salem, and an autopsy was being conducted on her mother, Tina Louise Dyer Smith, relatives and friends in South Boston prayed fervently for the young girl’s safe return and questioned whether this tragic turn of events somehow could have been prevented.

Roanoke County Police found the body of the 41-year-old former Halifax County resident Monday when they were called to her Fort Lewis Circle home in Salem.

While at the scene, police obtained information indicating Smith’s 12-year-old daughter was missing.

An Amber Alert was issued Monday afternoon for the young girl who had called South Boston home up until four years ago prior to her parents’ divorce.

Her father, Benjamin H. Smith, is a South Boston Police officer.

The series of tragic events have left the community reeling as relatives and friends of the family anxiously await any word of Brittany’s whereabouts.

The victim’s mother and missing girl’s grandmother, Liz Dyer of South Boston, said Tuesday she continues to wait for any information on her granddaughter’s safety.

“Police have not told us anything,” she said speaking from her Eastover Drive home.

“We know she was beaten, and they’re doing an autopsy,” she said of speaking her late daughter, Tina.

Dyer said she only met Brittany’s suspected abductor, Jeffrey Scott Easley, one time.

But she was quick to add, “We didn’t like what we saw.”

The worried grandmother said she had been unaware Easley was living with her daughter and granddaughter until two weeks ago when they came home for Thanksgiving.

“I saw him for the first time Thanksgiving,” and Dyer said what the family saw that day concerned members enough to prompt them to contact Social Services.

Dyer’s sister, who asked not to be identified, said she hosted the family’s Thanksgiving gathering attended by Tina, Brittany and Easley at her home in the county.

“He kept touching her (Brittany’s) hair, caressing her, touching her hand and consuming her with his eyes,” she said. “Normally I would have said something then and there, but the house was full of people.”

The aunt, who was contacted by Headline News’ Nancy Grace for her Monday night program on the missing girl, explained several days after the Thanksgiving dinner she called her niece (Tina) in Salem to express her concerns.

“I called Tina, and she said ‘he’s leaving right away.’ I told her to call me when he left. After she said he was leaving, I thought things were ok,” the aunt continued.Social Services contacted

The concerned relative said she attempted to report her concerns to Social Services in Halifax County because “she didn’t know where to start.”

She also dialed an 800 number for child abuse to provide information about her concerns.

“The lady said she would relay the information to Salem Social Services but told me it would be better if I called them directly. I called Salem Social Services and gave them this information Friday, but by that time it was too late,” she said.

The last time the aunt said she talked with Tina was the week after Thanksgiving on either Monday or Tuesday.
“She was to call me when he left, but she never called,” she reiterated.

Although family members said they were unclear how Smith and Easley met, authorities confirmed Tuesday it was through an online Internet relationship.

The aunt described Brittany as a child who always has loved attention.

“And he was paying her a lot of attention,” she said.

“Poor Tina lived in a different world than the rest of us. She always thought everyone was good, and everything would be ok,” her aunt said. “You can look at what she wrote on Facebook and see that it sounds like it came out of a storybook or fairytale.”

When asked about information reported on the Nancy Grace program Monday night concerning Brittany’s name change on Facebook from Brittany Smith to Brittany Easley, the aunt said, “I can explain that. She and her friends would change their names to their best friends names.”

The aunt said prior to changing her last name on Facebook to Easley, she had changed it to Conner or some other name.

Meanwhile, Brittany’s father traveled to the Roanoke Police Station on Monday to assist in the investigation before returning home Monday evening, the aunt said.

Was pretty obvious to me why she was using his last name also. Then the aunt or grandmother said something about how she had changed her last name to her best friends last name...I do remember looking at one of my cousins Facebook pages and she had all these people listed as siblings, even though they were friends only. So now I am not so sure, although I am for now sticking with the she changed it because they had some kind of relationship. I guess a family member called DSS because of what they had seen over Thanksgiving, touching Brittany inappropriately during the day. My question is, how did Brittany react when he touched her, I guess he touched her hair, her arms, just touching that would to me seem like something a boyfriend and girlfriend would do? So I am really curious how Brittany reacted. I am kind of guessing how she reacted because if she would of reacted in a scared way etc. I think the family members would have reacted differently (instead of waiting to call DSS, they would have said something immediately regardless of having company at the house).

I looked at the video at WalMart, she doesn't seem scared to me. Then again I could be reading it completely wrong.
 
I surely hope that Brittany didn't have a hand in the death of her mother! Tho I couldn't get the video to play completely, she didn't look particularly coerced or intimidated, in what I could see. Maybe she only ran away and didn't know about her mother. I hope she will be returned unharmed because at 12 years old she is not old enough to chose to leave with him on her own.
 
I agree [MENTION=958]cubby[/MENTION]. She isn't old enough. The strange thing is though, if she was involved in what happened to her mother she can be charged as an adult. Not old enough to decide to leave with someone, yet old enough to go to prison for the rest of her life? Sorry, I will get off my soapbox about children being charged as adults in the US, which is just a rubber stamp anymore.
 
[MENTION=2771]hellsbells[/MENTION]...aha. So, this guy maybe was trolling the internet dating scene..saw this lonely mom, saw the pics of her children, and swooped. Well fuckity fuck. So, is the general thought is that he was actually after the girl, and woo'd her? Killed mom and had them run to a fairy tale life? Incredible.
This story, and others like it, should be posted at all the internet dating sites. Maybe these lonely single moms and dads will have second thoughts about what they are doing. Not that they dont deserve to date,or have a gf/bf..just maybe keep the kids out of it. For a long while.

Its wouldnt be the first time , and your 100% correct ,I cant say the girl was in on the murder of her mom but she did have something going on with Easley and she was not Kidnapped .

I just hope she is found safe. I do believe they are getting help most likely from some pedo
 
I completely agree [MENTION=2771]hellsbells[/MENTION] I don't think she was kidnapped as in unwilling.
 
The video was taken down so I have no idea how the girl looks or is acting walking around with this pervert in Walmart. For who ever saw it before it was deleted, did she look awkward or resistant towards him at all? I am going to go ahead and assume she wasn't since she let him touch her like that at the Thanksgiving dinner.

It is just so sad to know what this poor mother has endured. The death of her son and then her somewhat-boyfriend going after her young daughter. To die at the hands of a man like that is just ever so wrong. I reallllly hope this girl was not involved in her own mothers death but knowing DD, things may turn up very, very twisted here.


I really hope this girl doesn't find this pervie perv as her knight in aluminum foil or anything. Who kows what he is putting in her head. You would think at her age though she would know a little about such guys going after young girls like her and would tell someone...
Gross.
 
[MENTION=2438]Rawrehz[/MENTION] I could only view a few seconds of it, something to do with having to watch it at YouTube, but when I went there, I couldn't see any more of it there either. She didn't look frightened, or upset, unwilling, she looked like she was on a shopping trip with her daddy, or brother. they weren't walking hand in hand but were side by side walking along. Just normal looking.

Yes I know the pict blows moose cock

He is on the run , If it was me there would be hair dye for both of them in that cart and hair clippers so you really cant go by what they did look like.
 
After more than five days of searching, police in Roanoke County, Virginia say 12-year-old Brittany Mae Smith seems to have fallen off the face of the earth after the death of her mother.
[...]

Police have been searching in a 700-mile radius for that blue camping tent and Smith's 2005-silver Dodge Neon.

"We think it's the key to the entire location of Brittany and Easley,” said Lavinder.

It’s a location with a connection to the east. Easley went to Ayden-Grifton high school and police believe someone could be helping him.

"We don't think that they have enough funds to do any extensive traveling without some help or assistance from others," said Lavinder.

Even that is just a theory.

"At this point in time I think we have to go on the theory that they're still together and they're still in that grey dodge," said Lavinder.

Someone may be secretly aiding on-the-run Jeffrey Easley and 12-year-old Brittany Smith, the Roanoke County police chief said today.

"For someone with very little money to drop off the face of the earth, I think someone would have to be providing them money for them to remain unlocated," Chief Ray Lavinder said today. He said authorities would prosecute anyone aiding Easley, who police believe abducted Brittany.
[...]

Easley's mother, Sallie Martin of Franklin County, pleaded Tuesday for her son to come forward
http://www.roanoke.com/news/breaking/wb/270121
 
From Tina Smith's chilling Facebook post on the day she died to cryptic comments left on MySpace, the online profiles of Smith, her missing 12-year-old daughter and the man who police say abducted her are full of potential clues.

"It's not always a smoking gun, but it's like another ingredient in the cake that we need to bake," said Sgt. Terry Wright, an investigator with the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. "A lot of times it will give us more direction in a case."

As the national search for Brittany Smith and Jeffrey Easley, 32, dragged into a fourth day without a trace, police said the social networking websites finally allowed them access to what may be leads in the possible abduction of Brittany and in the slaying of Brittany's mom, Tina Smith, 41, who was Easley's girlfriend. A state police helicopter searched hundreds of square miles for a tent Easley and Brittany bought Friday night at Walmart in Salem. Someone, said Roanoke County Police Chief Ray Lavinder, must be helping them hide.
[...]

Kim Stephenson, Brittany's cousin, and Carolyn Stephenson, her aunt, said at a news conference Wednesday night that they love Brittany and want her back.

"I want you to be home for Christmas so we can share our cookies and our punch and then open your presents under the tree," Carolyn Stephenson said.
[...]

Brittany, her mother and Easley were active users of Facebook and MySpace, commenting on one another's postings and noting the ups and downs of life almost every day to their circle of online friends. They uploaded pictures of one another, griped about life's struggles and may have left cryptic clues to events that have now become national news.

Tina Smith's Facebook had this ominous message the day she died:

"God please protect us from the evils of this world."

The next day, Easley's MySpace status was updated, saying, "Got a lot on my mind."

Police want to dig deeper into Facebook and MySpace, but have received little cooperation from the social media companies, Lavinder said. Police received "basic information" from one of the companies Wednesday, Lavinder said, after Facebook and MySpace failed to return police calls earlier in the week.

Police haven't sought a search warrant seeking access, Lavinder said.
[...]

Wright, the task force investigator, said he looks for cryptic messages and recent communications on social media sites in his criminal investigations.

"Usually, kids don't keep things a secret," he said. Wright is not involved in the search for Brittany.

Investigators have interviewed many of Brittany's friends, Lavinder said. The friends, like the police, are stumped, the chief said.

One of Brittany's friends, Nicki Mullins, said Brittany didn't feel comfortable around Easley. Another said she was scared of him. A Fort Lewis Circle neighbor of the Smiths, Roxann Pille, said Easley "gives me the creeps" for the way he looked at Brittany and touched her.
[...]

"If Jeff is out there listening ... he should allow Brittany to attend the funeral" of her mom, Lavinder said.

"It's her mother. She should be allowed to say goodbye to her mom."

Brittany Mae Smith, 12, has been found alive and her alleged abductor taken into custody, authorities in Virginia say.


THATS ALL I KNOW I JUST WALKED IN THE DOOR
 
Police: Missing Virginia girl, alleged abductor have been found
CNN) -- A 12-year-old Virginia girl has been found, along with the 32-year-old man that police believe abducted her, Roanoke, Virginia, county authorities said Friday.

Police said in an e-mailed statement that Brittany Mae Smith "has been safely located," and that Jeffrey Scott Easley has been taken into a custody in a state outside Virginia.

Further information -- including where the two were found, and under what circumstances -- was not immediately available. A press conference involving Roanoke County police is set for 8 p.m. ET.

A few hours earlier, police released new video showing Brittany Smith and Easley shopping at Walmart on the same day, they say, her mother was likely killed.

Law enforcement and citizens had called in about 700 tips since Virginia authorities issued an Amber Alert for Brittany on Monday. But at the earlier press conference Friday, Roanoke County, Virginia police Chief Ray Lavinder said authorities did not have any solid leads on the whereabouts of Brittany Smith or Easley.

"We're very concerned," Lavinder said then. "For someone just to disappear, to drop off the face of the earth for a week, that's very unusual."

Video released Friday showed the pair one week earlier walking together through a Walmart in Salem, Virginia, where they purchased a blue, domed tent. That had been the last confirmed sighting of either Brittany Smith or Easley, who was the boyfriend of the girl's dead mother.

Three days later, police got a phone call from 41-year-old Tina Smith's co-workers, saying they were worried that she hadn't shown up for work. They found her body inside her Salem home, and issued an Amber Alert for her daughter, Brittany, after learning she wasn't at school.

Lavinder said at Friday's press conference that experts now believe Tina Smith was killed exactly one week earlier, meaning her body was at her house for days before it was discovered.

"That's probably as close as medical science is going to be able to give us," Lavinder said of estimates that Tina Smith died between late the morning of December 3 and sometime that afternoon.

No one has been arrested in the homicide investigation related to Tina Smith's death, though Lavinder said that authorities do want to talk with Easley. The chief has said that he met Tina Smith online this summer, and moved into the family home in October.

Florida joined Virginia in issuing an Amber Alert for Brittany on Wednesday, and Alabama followed suit on Thursday.

The chief said that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children was helping set up billboards in North Carolina, West Virginia and Tennessee, in addition to Virginia. Authorities also announced Friday they had created a new website -- findbrittany.com -- with information about the case.

Two recent tips in recent days in Palm Beach County, Florida, and Florence, Alabama, did not end up netting Easley, and Lavinder said Friday that there had been no "positive sightings" of him or Brittany.

Three of the girl's aunts spoke at Thursday's press conference, including Angel Spangler, who urged Easley to "do the right thing" so that the seventh-grader could be on hand for her mother's still unplanned funeral.

"Brittany, we want to have good times with you again, and we want you to come home," said Rhonda Blanton. "Mr. Easley, please let Brittany come home for Christmas."

Authorities said they do not know if the girl went willingly with Easley, who has a felony abduction warrant out for him.

Yea lets kidnap a 12 yr old then go to WALMART....do these people never watch tv and know that they are being taped coming and going???? IDIOTS. Well...actually Im glad he is such a dipshit moron and she was found safe.
I believe the 12 yr old was in fact having some type of "affair" with this loser and I'm QUITE sure she knew her mom was dead. Not sure if she had anything to do with it.....but she must have known the guy was using the moms credit cards...and why the fuck were't the Walmart a'holes not checking his ID????????
Fire all those fuckers. Just sayin'. How do people get away with using other peoples credit cards these days?????
I get carded ALL the freakin time for my DEBIT card....even though I am swiping it myself and using my pin.

Wouldn't it just be crazy if it turned out the girl killed her Mom???? Or helped? Ugh. Gosh...this site has made me a dirty evil thinker.
 
I am just curious. Do you suppose she knows her mom is dead? If she had nothing to do with it,and knows mom is dead, why would she leave with him? I will wait to see what comes out of this, but sure glad she was found safe.
