Neely Smith was only five years old, and her life wasn't very easy. Even so, she was still a bright, happy little girl. She lived in an apartment complex. She was very outgoing. She loved to talk to people. She had brown hair. She was 43 pounds, and she was 3 1/2 feet tall. She has a little sister, but she never knew her.

These facts might not seem like much, but they're important. They are so important, because, small as they are, these were the type of things that made neely Smith who she was. These facts WERE small parts of Neely, and to anyone who didn't personally know her, this is all there is left of her- that and twenty five percent of her remains. they didn't ever find Neely's entire body.

On the cold, rainy day of February 18, 1981, Neely Smith knocked on the door of her best friend's house. The girl's mother answered to find Neely- a runny nose, blue shirt, no coat on despite the pouring rain. Neely wanted to play, but the other girl was sick and couldn't come out. The girl's mother invited Neely to come inside, but she shook her head. She told her that she would just go find someone else to play with.

No one ever saw Neely again after that. Just like that, the bright, brown-haired girl was gone, snatched of the streets and into oblivion. Two months later, a police officer found her head along a back road, and her ribs were found some time later. But that was all anyone found of Neely Smith.

No one was ever charged with Neely's murder. it's believed that she was murdered by a man who killed another girl, ten year old Amanda Ray, and is suspected in the slayings of at least five more children.

Google Neely Smith's name and you won't find much. There isn't any picture of her. There are some testimonials on different pages- one from her old best friend, one from the police officer who found her- those people will never forget Neely, because they'll never be able to. Her family, or what's left of it, won't forget her. but ask nearly anyone else in the town of Charlotte about Neely Smith, and they'll just greet you with confused stares. They don't remember.

Neely Smith is gone now. After her death, she was forgotten by most. Hardly anyone knows the name of Neely Smith now.

Will you remember her? Amanda Ray, the other victim of the monster who killed Neely, has Facebook pages dedicated to her, her own website- even though it happened years ago, Amanda is still remembered. People still champion her, and care about her- and that's what Neely needs. Neely deserves it, just as much as Amanda, and just as much as any other child that demon killed. That's why those small facts about Neely are important. if you knew Neely, if you remember her, talk about her here. Please. Neely Smith needs to be remembered, because she can't be forgotten.

People only truly die when they're forgotten. I don't want that to happen to Neely, because she should have lived far longer than she did. Give her what she deserves.
