Body found on Huron River not Smith Rheitt
Mrs. Giles Smith and relatives, plus Sheriff A. O. Tracy, investigated a body found along the Huron River. Although the corpse bore odd clothing and a clipped ring, authorities doubted it was Giles Smith and deemed the lead a false clue after coroner reports. The victim’s identity remained unresolved and investigators suspected prior murder with concealed remains.
