There's a lot of information out about this sick guy, Brian Steven Smith. 
ABC News
"A jury found Brian Steven Smith guilty of the murders of 30-year-old Kathleen Jo Henry and 52-year-old Veronica Abouchuk, two Native Alaska women who died on Sep. 4, 2019, and August 2018, respectively.

Smith was found guilty of all 14 criminal counts, including first- and second-degree murder, tampering with evidence and sexual assault in the deaths of both women.
The jury also found that an aggravated factor of substantial physical torture applies to Smith's count of first-degree murder in the murder of Kathleen Jo Henry.
Smith, who is from South Africa, previously admitted to committing both murders in an interrogation on Oct. 8, 2019, which was played for the jury during the trial. Still, Smith pleaded not guilty to all charges."


I'm glad these women got some justice, and that his reign of terror was finally stopped.  Because I'm sure there are other victims.  Lord only knows what he got away with during his days on the loose.  There's a reason such a person gravitated to Alaska.  He knew exactly what he was doing.  I'm so sorry for what they went through at his hands.
