William Smolinski now missing 3 years, Waterbury, Connecticut



Family seeks answers 3 years after man vanishes
(08/23/07) NORWALK - Three years after the disappearance of a former
Woodbridge bus driver, a family is asking the public for help in cracking
the case.
Billy Smolinski, 31, became involved in a love triangle that his family
believes went bad. His relatives say he found out his girlfriend was seeing
another man. The two broke up just before Smolinski vanished.
They say the last call Smolinski made was to the man his girlfriend had
been seeing.
With the help of authorities, Smolinski’s family searched the waters of the
Housatonic and Naugatuck rivers. They also put up posters.
The family is fighting for answers after they say Smolinski’s former
girlfriend was caught on tape tearing down the posters. The girlfriend’s lawyer
says his client was ripping down the posters because they were placed on private
property with the purpose of harassing her.
No arrests have been made in Smolinski's disappearance.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the FBI in New
Haven at 203-777-6311.

You can also email information to info@justice4billy.com or send information to P.O. Box 123, Cheshire, CT 06410.
