Forbes, 19, had vanished wearing a white shirt. The police began investigating her disappearance. The shirt was examined for trace evidence. An investigation revealed that she was preparing to go to the Italian Festival in Louisiana. While at the festival she was seen talking to a man . His name was Kelly Drott. He had a criminal record. When the police questioned him he said that he last saw her at about 10 pm at the festival. Blood specs were found in his vehicle. The blood in the car matched the blood on the shirt. 3 weeks later a badly decomposed body was found on the bank of the river. A piece of crystal found at the scene on Smiling Acres Road matched a watch that belonged to the victim. Police believe that Kelly Drott and Rebecca Forbes left the festival after midnight, and they drove to smiling acres road. They must have had some sort of an argument and Drott killed her.
