SHE WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD ON THANKSGIVING… And Her Ex BF Had A Perfect Alibi | True Crime Documentary Leslie Reeves taught women how to defend themselves. A divorced mother of two with a master's degree in engineering, she ran a self-defense studio in Troy, Illinois — determined to help every woman feel safe. On Thanksgiving Day 2021, the woman who had dedicated her life to teaching others to survive was shot in the head inside a house she'd visited for a first date. Her date, Chris Smith, was shot through the door and spent 12 agonizing hours bleeding on the floor before anyone found him. Detectives found no eyewitnesses, no blood, no DNA, and no fingerprints linking her ex-boyfriend, Robert "Bobby" Tar, to the crime scene. Yet a trail of digital footprints — Facebook searches, VPN questions, phone records, license plate reader data, and a gas station receipt — told a chilling story of premeditation. Then they found the murder weapon on his property, with Leslie's DNA hidden inside it. This is the story of the Leslie Reeves murder case, the investigation that caught a killer with almost no forensic evidence, and the trial that ended in a guilty verdict in 2024. A true crime documentary about stalking, domestic violence, and the disturbing truth that sometimes the most dangerous person is the one you once trusted.⏱ TIMESTAMPS 👍 If this true crime documentary helped you, please LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE for more. #truecrimecommunity #TrueCrimeDocumentary #MurderDocumentary #MurderCase #TrueCrimeStory #ColdCaseDocumentary #Documentary #CrimeDocumentary #LeslieReeves #DomesticViolence Disclaimer: This content is presented for informational and educational purposes only.
