The most terrifying concept you might come across in true crime is The Smiley Face Killers. A theory that proposes a killer or group of killers with victims across the country. Their calling card; a smiley face. The idea has been popular in true crime content for over a decade, but it still haunts those that seek answers to the deaths of loved ones.

This is Kathy Geib Todds mom.... one of the commonalities of these cases that is very frightening is.... all of these cases were closed without vestigations by police. Once a case is closed, its almost impossible to get the police to reopen. Todds case was closed before his autopsy came back... the scariest commonality in ALL these cases is the wierd behavior of our state police and our local detectives.... i sure wish Fbi would do an investigation on them

Recurrent “drownings”. Same victim profile. Same setup. Multiple cities. Across decades. Spooky stuff

Two things i wonder about. The victims. Why wouldnt a killer simply prey on homeless people ? Two. Why dispose of the body anywhere near where they were abducted seems kinda risky. The authorities should talk to a serial killer in prison. Russel williams or Btk and ask their opinion lol..

Okay, so while I'm not an expert on Serial Killers as a whole professionally, I have a deep interest into the "why" of serial killers, so please just consider this an opinion and not fact. Serial Killers tend to have a "type" when it comes to victims (example: John Wayne Gacey focused on young boys), and it usually correlates to something traumatic in their past. This explains why serial killers don't target homeless people. As for the why dispose of the body this way, it's more or less their "signature." Generally it starts with a relatively simple method, and evolves into a suite of circumstances that become their signature. Because the SFK (assuming it's one serial killer and several copycats which is my theory) managed to get away with this signature, they didn't see any reason to deviate. Hope that insight helps

The creepiest thing in mind my is that allegedly a smiley face sticker was found on todd geibs gravestone. Either a sick lame joker or a killer claiming his kill..
