Part 6/14:
Smith’s criminal campaign lasted over a year, during which he meticulously avoided detection—targeting towers near wooded areas, disguising himself, and modifying his methods. However, his overconfidence eventually led to his downfall. Borrowing a car from a new girlfriend, he set fire to a tower behind a Walmart, where surveillance cameras captured him fleeing. Law enforcement rapidly traced his burner phones—initially changed to evade detection—and eventually surrounded him when he was found hiding in an apartment complex.
