The latest episode of Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins, titled “One-Way Street,” examines the tragic death of 54-year-old Jacquelyn Smith, who was brutally stabbed in Baltimore. The case uncovers a web of vicious lies and a premeditated murder, exposing a diabolical plan and a complex dynamic within the Smith family.
On December 1, Jacquelyn Smith, an engineer at Aberdeen Proving Ground, lost her life in what initially appeared to be a random act of violence. However, as detectives dug deeper, they uncovered shocking truths. Smith’s husband, Keith Smith, and her stepdaughter, Valeria Smith, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder. The two had been attempting to flee the country and were apprehended near the Mexican border.
Initially, Keith Smith claimed that his wife was stabbed while helping a panhandler, but this story was soon exposed as a cover-up. Baltimore City Police revealed that the supposed “thank you” that turned into a robbery was a phony narrative, and the truth was far more sinister. The investigation, spanning three months, concluded that Keith Smith and Valeria Smith were responsible for the heinous crime.
The impact of this case extended beyond the immediate tragedy. Baltimore officials strongly condemned the false narrative, criticizing how it played on negative stereotypes of the city as a hotbed of crime. This episode of Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins not only explores the intricate details of the murder but also highlights the broader implications it had on the perception of Baltimore.
Killer Relationship with Faith Jenkins: One-Way Street airs on Oxygen True Crime on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at 8:00 p.m.
