The Silent Son: The Disappearance of Macin Smith
from Gone in a Blink
On September 1, 2015, 17-year-old Macin Smith walked out of his St. George, Utah home, presumably heading for the school bus. He never arrived at school, and he never came home. Left behind in his bedroom were the very things most teens can't live without: his cell phone, his laptop, and his wallet. But tucked away in that wallet was a folded note that would change everything - a note with a message so heavy it left his family questioning if they ever truly knew their "silent son." Was Macin running away from a strict household, or was he walking toward something much darker? We dive into the sightings, the theories, and the desperate search for Macin Smith.Macin's Army Facebook PageHelp Find Macin Smith #MacinsArmy | FacebookSources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance_of_Macin_Smithhttps://charleyproject.org/case/macin-darrin-smithhttps://www.deseret.com/2019/5/16/20673506/police-focused-missing-utah-teen-case-on-parents/https://storiesoftheunsolved.com/2018/12/05/the-disappearance-of-macin-smith/Music by:Crime Trap by Muza ProductionTense Dark Atmosphere by UniversfieldDark Horror Background by Delo SoundDark Ambient Emotions by Deust Lower - Vlad BakutovSad Guitar Trap Beat by BRVANDark Trap Groove by Anton Vlasovhttp://bit.ly/goneinablink-survey Thank you for helping us by taking our short survey.
