In October 1982, the skeletal remains of 17-year-old Mary Angela “Angie” Woody Smith were discovered in a wooded area near Rossville, Georgia. She had been missing since July 10, 1982, when she was last seen in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Her death was ruled a homicide, but nearly four decades later, the case remains unsolved.
Despite extensive investigations, including interviews and forensic analysis, no arrests have been made. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) continues to seek information from the public to help solve this case. Anyone with information is urged to contact the GBI tip line at 1-800-597-TIPS (8477), submit tips online HERE.

While Angie’s case remains open, the GBI continues to encourage the public to come forward with any information that might bring closure to her family.
