The Alaska SD Card Serial Killer: The Brutal Double Life of Brian Steven Smith

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

Brian Steven Smith, a South African immigrant living in Alaska, was sentenced to 226 years in prison for the murders of Kathleen Henry and Veronica Abouchuk. The case was cracked after a woman discovered an SD card containing graphic videos of Smith torturing a victim, which led to a search of his home where police found dozens of storage devices and eventually secured his confession. Investigators believe Smith may be a serial killer with additional victims, citing unidentified DNA found in his truck and reports of him boasting about multiple murders committed while living in South Africa.
