Karen Jo Smith disappeared on December 27, 2000 and has never been seen again. Karen 
Jo Smith is listed with The National Center of Missing Adults. For those not familiar with the circumstances of this case. Karen Joe Smith was last seen with her ex-husband, Steve Halcomb. Halcomb was convicted and sentenced to 95 years in prison even though Karen’s body was never recovered.
Karen was last seen with her ex-husband, Steve Halcomb (shown in the photo at the right), at her residence around the 800 block of Weghorst Street at approximately 10:30 pm on December 27, 2000.

Recently Karen Jo Smith’s missing persons case was part of several families who hoped to have these unsolved cases aided through new rewards. $20 million dollars was being offered as rewards for 20 missing persons cases, $100,000 for each. Karen Joe Smith’s case was one that will be receiving the reward. The reward is good from Sunday, November 4 through November 24.
Last month, Patti Bishop, stepmother of Karen Jo Smith, who disappeared in Indianapolis on Dec. 27, 2000, contacted Mammana about her vision for a “Squeaky Wheel Tour” to draw attention to missing persons cases.
Mammana liked the idea and agreed to fund rewards to try to draw out information. In short order, he and Bishop devised a plan to offer $2 million for 20 cases for 20 days — Sunday through Nov. 24 — with $100,000 dedicated to each case. (Indy Star)
Thanks to Bishop’s involvement and her knowledge of Indiana cases, the state is heavily represented on the list. The other 13 cases are from Missouri, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Alabama and Arkansas.

James Sylvestre, 45, of Hooksett, NH is still missing after he fell off the Halloween cruise, 
MS Mt. Washington on Lake Winnipesaukee at about 10:00 p.m. Saturday night.
The body of a man who fell off a Halloween cruise during the weekend remained missing Monday as crews used a high-tech cameras to scan Lake Winnipesaukee.
James Sylvestre, 45, of Hooksett, fell off the popular MS Mt. Washington into the lake during a Halloween party about 10 p.m. Saturday night. He had told his wife that he was going up on deck to get some air during the last half-hour of the cruise.
A four-hour search ensued, but was hampered by darkness, driving rain and strong winds.
As anyone who is familiar with New England waters this time of year, hypothermia sets in rather quickly in 50 degree waters.
“Diving is very difficult,” Lt. Tim Dunleavy of the New Hampshire Marine Patrol said of the wind and rough waters. “The water depths as well are difficult — we’re ranging from 60 to 100 feet of water.”
With water temperatures in the 50s, searchers said anyone in the lake would be overcome by hypothermia in a matter of minutes. Monday’s search was deemed a recovery operation, not a rescue effort. (Boston Herald)
