An Unknown Snapchat Username... #truecrimeshorts #truecrimeinvestigation #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

H told our reporter that sometime after Spencer's death, she was on Snapchat and
she saw Spencer's name pop up as like a suggested friend. Like cuz it's people in her contacts or whatever.
But under his name is what stopped her in her tracks because it was a username she didn't recognize.
It started with smiley and then it had six numbers after it. And when it hit her who that could be,
it stopped her dead in her tracks. The six digits in the username that popped up on Kate's phone
were an exact match for Angel's birthday. Angel, whose middle name by the way includes
smiley, and they know this for a fact because Kelly found Angel's driver's license in
Spencer's apartment with his full name and date of birth. So let's go back to Angel for a second.
It turns out we know he only knew Spencer for like 3 weeks. Like I said, they met at that detox program that he
went to on the 10th. After that, Spencer let Angel stay with him while they waited for their spots to open up in the
rehab center. Angel was experiencing homelessness and Spencer had made it his life's mission to help people in similar
situations to Angel. Now when Kelly was telling us about Angel and the way that he was basically integrated into all the
different aspects of Spencer's life, you could have made us believe that Spencer
had known this guy for years. And listen, being an associate doesn't make him complicit. Neither does him being
found in the apartment the day before Spencer's body is discovered and likely after he was already dead.
>> If that white Kia is really involved. >> Right, if. But Angel lied about Spencer's whereabouts. Like he's saying
that he checked in to the rehab place which like doesn't make sense to me because they've
been doing everything together. You know Spencer's not coming home cuz you're there. You didn't check into rehab. So
like what's up? And Spencer was on Kelly's phone plan, right? Like did she pull the logs? Was there any more
activity? Oh, yeah. Again, she's a crime junkie. That's one of the first things she did. There was no outgoing activity
after the 27th. And only two numbers had like been incoming after that. So, the phone basically had stopped using her
phone plan.

After Spencer Irwin’s death, a suggested Snapchat account appeared under his name but with a different username.

The name included details that appear to match someone who had recently been staying with him. At the same time, Spencer’s phone showed almost no activity after he disappeared.

Now the question is who was behind that account.
