Thanksgiving Day 2012: How Byron Smith Executed Two Teen Burglars
Wednesday, 26 November, 2025
Thanksgiving Day 2012: How Byron Smith Executed Two Teen BurglarsByron David Smith, a 64-year-old retired security engineer, shot and killed teenagers Nicholas Brady and Haile Kifer during a home invasion in Little Falls, Minnesota on Thanksgiving Day 2012. The double homicide investigation revealed audio recordings Smith made of the entire incident, leading to his arrest, trial, and conviction for first-degree premeditated murder. Forensic evidence and witness testimony showed Smith had prepared an ambush in his basement after multiple prior burglaries of his property.Smith had been burglarized before. His father's POW watch was gone. Four thousand dollars in cash, stolen. By Thanksgiving 2012, he was exhausted, paranoid, wearing a gun around his own house. When two teenagers broke into his basement that day, Smith was ready. He'd moved his truck to make the house look empty. He had two guns. And he turned on his audio recorder. What that recording captured over the next twenty minutes would become the most damning evidence in Minnesota legal history. This case redrew the line between the Castle Doctrine and cold-blooded execution, and Smith documented every second of his own downfall.#ByronSmith #LittleFallsMurders #TrueCrimePodcast #CastleDoctrine #SelfDefenseGoneWrong #MinnesotaMurder #ThanksgivingMurders🔔 Subscribe for True Crime Cases multiple times a weekNever miss a story.
