Twana Smith (7 of Clubs, Connecticut)

Our card this week is Twana Smith, the 7 of Clubs from Connecticut.

When Twana Smith’s body was discovered behind an abandoned building in Hartford in October 1997, she joined a growing list of the city’s vulnerable locals who fell victim to violent predators. And for decades, her case sat unsolved, gathering dust… even as detectives found the keys to unlock mysteries from the same era. But after years of dead ends, investigators now believe they're on the brink of a breakthrough… they just need a final push over the finish line.

  • If you know anything about the murder of Twana Smith, please contact the Hartford Police Department's Major Crimes Division at 860-757-4000, or the Cold Case Tip Line at 860-722-TIPS (8477). You can also email tips hartfordpd.media@hartford.gov.
