The Byron Smith Recording.

-FULL 30 MINUTE RECORDING BELOW-

Byron David Smith was a 65 year old retired security engineering officer with the US State Department.

He was residing in Little Falls, Minnesota in 2012 when his home had been broken into half a dozen times.

Eventually, Byron had enough of these routine break-ins and set up security systems, including four different security cameras set up around his property.

Some of the things stolen from Byron include but are not limited to:

Thousands of dollars in cash.

-

3,000$ camera

His metals and ribbons from the war of vietnam.

-

His father's P.O.W wristwatch.

On the day of thanksgiving, 2012, Byron Smith parked his truck away from his home, giving the appearance of an empty house.

He then withdrew to his basement with a rifle and a .22 caliber handgun and laid in wait for the theives.

Approximately 1 hour later, 17 year old Nicholas Brady, and his 18 year old cousin Halie Kifer begin to case the home.

Nicholas eventually enters the home by shattering a window which can be heard in the full length recording.

After some meandering upstairs, Nicholas descends the basement stairs, and is shot three times by Byron Smith, after shooting the teenager, Byron can be heard uttering a rather callous remark to the deceased victim: "You're dead."

Byron can then be heard dragging Nicholas's deceased body into a workshop room at the bottom of the staircase.

10 minutes later, the voice of Halie Kifer is heard calling out the name of her cousin: "Nick?"

She then begins to descend the basement stairs. Byron fires 1 shot at Halie, causing her to go tumbling down the stairs.

His rifle then jams, and once again Byron can be heard taunting the half dead duo: "Oh, sorry, did i do that?"

Halie can be heard screaming and saying: "Im sorry!" before Byron takes out his .22 revolver and shoots the teenager 4 times in the chest. As he is shooting the teen, he is again taunting them, saying: "You're dying."

He then can be heard dragging Halies body in to the same workshop where her cousin is. Byron realises that Halie is still breathing, to which he responds by placing the revolver directly under her chin and pulling the trigger.
