The mother of a woman who went missing on a trip with her boyfriend in Illinois told Fox News Digital that “he has changed his story a couple of times” as police search for her.
The Palatine Police Department said that Alyssa Smith, 24, has been missing since September 30. According to her mother, Rebecca Smith, her daughter went missing while on a trip to Chicago with her boyfriend and did not come home.
“We’re going through hell,” she explained. “I want her home. We miss her. Her sisters are waiting for her to get home.
Rebecca Smith has been posting and distributing flyers on social media appealing for her daughter’s release.
Rebecca Smith said that her boyfriend, Jacob Ray Caso, did not return home from Chicago with Alyssa. He’s altered his narrative several times, so I’m a little confused,” she stated, adding that she “had a terrific relationship” with him.
Caso is not accused of any crime or violation.
