| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of True Crime with Kendall Ray. |
| 0:11.0 | Thank you so much for joining me today. |
| 0:12.7 | And if you're new this show, then welcome. |
| 0:14.5 | I'm so happy to have you here. |
| 0:15.7 | So you guys, today we're getting into a case that happened 18 years ago, but it is just as painful today as it was back |
| 0:23.7 | then. We're going to be talking about the 2007 murder of Kelsey Smith. And one of the most |

| 1:22.4 | foundation and we would love to help support your mission in any way we can. Let's go ahead and get into Kelsey's |
| 1:29.1 | case and I'm happy that I do have a lot to tell you about Kelsey. There's a lot of information |
| 1:35.0 | available about the wonderful person that she was. On May 3rd, 1989, Kelsey Ann Smith was born. |
| 1:43.1 | Her parents, Greg and Missy, were just over the moon excited to welcome her into this world, |
| 1:48.3 | and at the time she was their youngest. |
