Champaign County sheriff's Lt. Ed Ogle has boxes of evidence and files relating to the 5-year-old investigation into Linda Smith's murder.
Five years after the death of a 59-year-old Champaign woman, sheriff's investigators are looking for an unidentified man who is linked to other crimes, and family members are looking for justice.
Linda Smith was found dead in her burning home at 302 Paul Ave. in Wilbur Heights by volunteers for the Eastern Prairie Fire Protection District the morning of Sept. 22, 2001.
