The "Smiley Face Killers" theory suggests that the drownings of young, college-aged men across the U.S. are not mere accidents but the work of an organized group of killers. Retired detectives Kevin Gannon, Anthony Duarte, and Michael O'Neill, after noticing disturbing patterns in multiple cases, posited that these deaths were staged to appear accidental, often marked by smiley face graffiti near recovery sites. Critics, including the FBI, maintain that these incidents are alcohol-related drownings, dismissing the graffiti as coincidental. The theory has sparked significant media interest and debate, with documentaries, true crime discussions, and online communities delving into the details. Despite skepticism, the detectives continue their investigation, seeking to bring awareness and potentially uncover the truth behind these mysterious deaths.

Nikki Herd - I know the Smiley Face KillersNikki Herd joins Ed Opperman to share her research on what has now become an urban legend; the Smiley Face KillersThe smiley face murder theory (also known as the smiley face murders, smiley face killings, and smiley face gang) is a theory advanced by retired New York City detectives Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte, as well as Dr. Lee Gilbertson, a criminal justice professor and gang expert at St. Cloud State University. It alleges that 45 young men found dead in bodies of water across several Midwestern American states from the late 1990s to the 2010s did not accidentally drown, as concluded by law enforcement agencies, but were victims of a serial killer or killers.The term "smiley face" became connected to the alleged murders when it was made public that the police had discovered graffiti depicting a smiley face near locations where they think the killer dumped the bodies in at least a dozen of the cases. Gannon wrote a textbook case study on the subject titled "Case Studies in Drowning Forensics." The response of law enforcement investigators and other experts has been largely skeptical.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Are a series of accidental drownings actually the work of a cabal of killers? This week, Amy and Chris bring you the cases collectively known as the Smiley Face Murders, but there is not universal consensus that all these men dying in similar fashions is the work of killers. Chris and Amy walk you through the evidence that point to a gang of killers potentially targeting college-aged men throughout the country. Virtually every suspicious death goes like this: a young white male is found drowned after leaving a party. He is found with everything in his pockets except his phone. And nearby there is an eerily graffitied smiley face. New York detectives Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte, along with criminal justice professor Dr. Lee Gilbertson have devised this theory to explain nearly 50 similar deaths. But various police organizations reject the theory and believe them largely to be drunken accidents. So are all roughly 45 of these cases just a series of tragic coincidences or is there a serial killer or killers walking free among us?

Seit 1997 sind in 11 verschiedenen US Staaten mehr als 300 junge Männer, alle in ihren Zwanzigern unter mysteriösen Umständen ums Leben gekommen. Laut Polizei handele es sich bei all diesen Todesfällen um tragische Unfälle, doch drei Ermittler widersetzen sich der Auffassung ihrer Kollegen. Kevin Gannon, Anthony Duarte und Dr. Lee Gilbertson sind sich sicher, dass die zahlreichen Parallelen zwischen den Fällen kein Zufall sein kann. Sie sind der Überzeugung, dass all diese jungen Männer zu den Opfern der Smiley-Face-Morde zählen. Ihre Theorie besagt, dass entweder ein Serienkiller oder gar ein ganzes Kollektiv an Tätern im mittleren Westen der USA sein Unwesen treibt, und das seit über 20 Jahren. Immer wieder verschwinden junge College-Studenten und tauchen dann nur wenig später in einem örtlichen Gewässer wieder auf. Tot. In unmittelbarer Nähe der Leichenfundorte hinterlässt das Phantom seine Signatur: Das Graffiti eines grinsenden Smileys. // Kontakt: // E-Mail: podcast.stimmenimkopf@gmail.com Instagram: podcast.stimmenimkopf // Quellen: // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_face_murder_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_Face_Killers:_The_Hunt_For_Justice https://www.oxygen.com/crime-time/six-alleged-victims-smiley-face-killings https://www.oxygen.com/crime-time/chilling-details-make-you-believe-smiley-face-killings http://wiki2.benecke.com/images/b/b3/Facharbeit_OliviaPollok_TodimWasser-einbesondererFallinderGerichtsmedizin.pdf https://www.klinikum.uni-heidelberg.de/fileadmin/inst_rechts_verkehrsmed/pdfs/jur-ertrinken.pdf

Since 1997 young men have been disappearing for periods of time and then turning up in bodies of water. Upon first glance it's easy to brush these off as accidents, young men drinking too much and slipping or falling to their deaths: sad but not unheard of. It was in 2008 that Kevin Gannon, Anthony Duarte, Mike Donovan and Dr. Lee Gilbertson presented a theory to the world: What if these cases aren't accidents at all? What if there is some kind of gang spread across the nation, picking these guys off 1 by 1.

One popular theory for Brian Shaffer's disappearance is The Smiley Face Killer. Retired detectives Kevin Gannon and Anthony Duarte believe this killer (or killers) stalk popular college men, drug them at a bar, and leave them for dead in a nearby river while marking their work with an innocent smiley face. Is that what happened to the two young men in today's story or did they simply get too drunk one night and fall into the water? ---------- Written and edited by Schuyler Fastenau with the voice talents of Daniel Jones, Joe Burns, Brandon Maple, Kaitlyn Brown, Alexis Yordon, John Angeli, Justin Hissey, Sarah Brennan, and Antonio Hill.

Detective Kevin Gannon and Dr. Lee Gilbertson from the Oxygen Television Series, The Smiley Face Killers:  The Hunt for Justice, join us on Supernatural Girlz Radio. Beginning in 1997 and stretching across eleven states from New York to Minnesota, 100 corpses that had been dredged from rivers, lakes and ponds shared too many similarities for it all to be coincidental.  Almost without exception, victims were white, college-aged males who were athletic, good-looking, and academically successful. The team of four detectives, Kevin Gannon, Anthony Duarte, Mike Donovan and Dr. Lee Gilbertson came together to investigate these cases that had been closed by the local police departments.  The detectives found startling similarities and many unanswered questions.  After conducting their own investigations the detectives requested that the local Police Departments re-open these cases, previously classified as drownings, and investigate them as homicides. Who is kidnapping these young men, holding them at secret locations for up to 2 1/2 months and then dropping their bodies in water? And why? Tune in to find out. The truth is right here, on Supernatural Girlz.

Is there a serial killer gang murdering college-age men in the waters of America? Jac, Alexis & Billy conclude the story of the Smiley Face Killer theory, with the help of Kevin Gannon, Mike Donovan, Anthony Duarte, and Doc Gilbertson.

What's better than a conspiracy theory or a murder? A conspiracy theory combined with a murder! Sara talks to retired NYPD Detectives Kevin Gannon, Anthony Duarte, and Mike Donovan about the Smiley Face Killers, who they believe are an organized gang targeting white college-aged men. Here's the deal. Not everyone is convinced the scores of young men who have drowned over the past 12 years are connected, even though Gannon, Duarte, and Donovan argue that the writing is on the wall—literally. After investigating each case, they claim they've found distinct smiley face graffiti near all the locations where the bodies were found. So what is the truth? Listen to the interview and decide for yourself, then tune in to Smiley Face Killers: The Hunt For Justice on January 19 on Oxygen.

Tonight on a shocking special episode of After Hours AM/The Criminal Code — with hosts Joel Sturgis, Eric Olsen, and forensic psychologist Dr. Clarissa Cole — we plunge into the watery domain of the Smiley Face Killer with former FBI agent and author John DeSouza. Is there a demented serial killer or killers stalking and killing drunken college bros across the nation and leaving a smiley face as a calling card? Or is the linkage of 40 tragic drowning deaths a figment of the febrile imaginations of two retired NYPD detectives? Smiley Face Killers victims In 2008 retired New York police detectives Frank Gannon and Anthony Duarte announced an amazing and alarming serial killer(s) theory. They theorized that starting in 1997, across eleven states from New York to Minnesota, about 40 corpses that had been fished from bodies of water including rivers, lakes, and ponds exhibited too many similarities to be coincidental, to wit: Victims were white, college-aged males Gannon and Duarte described as “athletic, good-looking, and academically successful.” Could there be one or more “clumsy, ugly, and dumb” killers out there motivated by resentment and envy? All victims were out drinking at local bars or parties on the evening they disappeared. In a dozen or more cases, smiley faces were found painted near where the detectives determined victims’ bodies had been dumped into the water. Virtually all of these “drowning victims” were discovered in northern states during the winter. Very peculiar in itself, but even odder when you consider that there has been no similar pattern of alcohol-related drownings in more southerly states, at any time of year. Some disappearances occurred on the same night in different states, leading the detectives to conclude that a “well-structured” organization of killers was responsible. While most of the deaths are still classified as accidenta
