Like in August of 1988, Crimestoppers offered a $1,000 reward for information on Tina's case. So like that was a step
00:00:06
in the right direction, but not a step that really moves the needle. The only thing that does that comes in May of
00:00:13
1989, and it comes from a news cameraman at WGA TV. So this person is reviewing some old footage that he had taken out
00:00:22
there doing the Lord's work, making connections, paying attention. And I don't know all the details of why he was
00:00:28
reviewing this stuff or like what was going on, but the station ends up sending the district attorney of this
00:00:36
county a videotape and is like, "You need to watch this." And when the DA hits play, it's news footage from the
00:00:44
day that Tina's body was discovered and removed from underneath the bridge. And at one point, the person operating the
00:00:51
camera like pans up to the West Princess Street Bridge, and you can see eight people there, like gawkers, just kind of
00:00:57
watching what's happening below. Now, nobody would have recognized those eight people in 1985.
00:01:03
But now in May of 1989, one of those people on the bridge, a teenager, stands out like a beacon.
00:01:13
It's Quintterio Poncho Smart. And the DA knows him because just a month before looking at this tape, his office had
00:01:21
secured a conviction against Smart and an accomplice for the murder of 29-year-old Judy Anne Keterman, which
00:01:29
took place in October of 1987. What? Yes.
