 v. phr.— «“In 2002 (or) 2003 I sent a letter to Prairie County Sheriff Randy Raper.”…During the same evening in 1974 Smith along with Spencer and Essie Mae Wilock also kidnapped six individuals in the Brown Grove area holding them hostage, which would have been family to Raper. Although Raper said he could not communicate with her or set up a visit and he gave a date when he was coming to “pull chain,” as he called it—he brought an inmate—and Smith got to meet Raper.» —“Smith appeal underway” by Leigh Kreimeier Stuttgart Daily Leader (Arkansas) July 22, 2008.
