23rd Anniversary of Nancy Smith Homicide - $35,000 Reward

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE #24-16 Issued on: December 4, 2024
23rd Anniversary of Nancy Smith Homicide
 

On December 5, 2001, Nancy Smith, a 32-year-old female, was found deceased in her house on Provost Drive in New Windsor. On that day, Smith’s parents received a call from her office saying that Smith had not shown up to work at Horton Hospital in Middletown. Concerned, they went to check on Smith at her New Windsor home on Provost Drive, where they found her deceased on the living room floor. Nancy’s death was the result of a vicious attack and the investigation into her murder began.

As the 23rd Anniversary of Nancy’s death approaches, the Detectives from New Windsor Police Department are, once again, asking for the community’s assistance in identifying Nancy’s killer. The New Windsor Police Department would like to encourage members of the community to call us with any information they may have about this murder. Any piece of information would help, no matter how small or insignificant a person may feel their information would be. For 23 years, investigators and family members have been trying to find the missing pieces to the puzzle for this crime. There is a reward of $35,000 being offered, for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for Nancy’s death.

Investigators working this investigation can be reached at 845-563-4678 or by email at [email protected].
