Mother of four, Sally Jane Demaris Smith was a kind soul and everyone knew it. She was full of energy and humor. And she was very passionate about her students at the Great Falls Public School District where she was a speech and language pathologist. She also taught spin classes at the Peak and was a mother of four children.
52-year-old Sally was last seen alive on September 25th, 2020. She had left her husband a note saying that she was going to visit her parents for a few days.
When Sally's family and friends realized she was missing heartbreak and disbelief struck and the their world came crumbling down.
Sally's husband drove more than 3,000 miles looking for her on his own; he even went so far as to search for her by plane. However, his search bore no fruit. There was also a Facebook group page set up called HelpFindSallySmith. And Great Falls Police Department worked with law enforcement from around the state to conduct searches as they tried to find Sally.
On Sunday, October 11th, 2020, Sally's body was found in her 2005 gold Toyota Corolla in a storage unit around 2:30 p.m. right outside of Malmstrom Air Force Base.
Sally's death hasn't been classified as a crime yet, but one friend, following the news of her death, implied he believes she was killed.
Sally's family released this statement:
"The Smith family would like to thank the community of Great Falls, GFPD and all law enforcement who were assisting and all of the folks on social media who were determined to find Sally. Unfortunately it’s not the outcome no one wanted. Our hearts will forever cherish her. Sally meant the world to us more than anyone will know. She was loved and adored by thousands, this we know. The overwhelming support and concern to all of the prayers is a testament of how beautiful of a person she was. She left her everlasting smile on this world and no one can take that away from us. Our hearts forever broken. She will forever be a angel walking beside us. She is our light."
