MCSO: Murdered woman's child is missing
Investigators are anxiously searching for the missing seven-month-old baby of a woman
whose slain body was found Saturday under brush near 61st Avenue and Elliott Road in Phoenix.
The baby, Heaven Marie Smith, has not been seen, and investigators
are hoping the child is alive and the public might have some information.
"We are hoping the crime was only against the mother," said Detective
Bryan Cluff of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit.
"The worst case scenario is that the baby is also deceased."
Investigators hope the public has information that can lead to the safe return of the Heaven.
The mother, Brittany Jasmine Hines, 19, is from Lancaster, California and was last known to be alive Dec. 15, Cluff said.
Dove hunters found her under brush, and she had not been dead more than two days, Cluff said.
The mother left California earlier last week, Cluff said, but it is
not known how she left or with whom, other than with Heaven. Her car is
broken down in California, Cluff said.
Detectives have contacted the baby's father, and there are no
indications he is involved, Cluff said. The father, who has not been
together with Heaven's mother, has also filed a missing person's complaint.
Neither, Cluff said, are there indications that the baby's mother had a boyfriend.
Investigators don't know why she fled California, but are
investigating among other possibilities that she was fleeing from someone.
Child Protective Services has not received any reports of a parent-less baby, Cluff said.
"We are treating this as a homicide investigation," Cluff said. He
would not comment on the possible cause of death pending an autopsy Monday
Anyone with information regarding the death of Brittany or the
whereabouts of her daughter Heaven are requested to contact the Cluff
(602) 876-4804 or the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (602) 876-1011 reference Case Number 10-225251.

PHOENIX—The Maricopa County
Sheriff's Office says authorities have located a 7-month-old girl who
was missing after her mother was found killed in the Phoenix
metropolitan area. A spokesman for the Maricopa County Sheriff's
Office says Heaven Marie Smith was apparently turned over Friday to
Child Protective Services in California. Sheriff's spokesman
Aaron Douglas says the body of her mother, 19-year-old Brittany Jasmine
Hines of Lancaster, Calif., was found on the side of a road near 61st
Avenue and Elliot Road around 8:15 a.m. Saturday. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said the child was last known to be with her Dec. 10. Douglas says Hines has no known family ties to Arizona and it's unclear why she was in the state.

Now that the baby is no longer missing I'm moving this to the murdered topic for Brittany.

Boyfriend: California Woman Found Dead In Phoenix Lived Two Seperate Lives
Love, Lies Confuse California Man Whose Girlfriend Was Found Dead In Phoenix
UPDATED: 10:15 pm MST December 19, 2010|
PHOENIX -- Rodney Smith was relieved on Sunday to learn his missing 7-month-old daughter as safe with California child protective services, but crushed to find out his girlfriend was found dead in Phoenix with no clues how she got there."We went to high school together and just recently started dating a year and some months ago," Smith said.
His girlfriend, Brittany Hines, 19, had their first child in May and were living in an apartment with Hines' mother.
Hines'body was found Saturday by a group of dove hunters in a ditch near 63rd Ave. and Elliot Rd., the couples baby, Heaven Smith, was missing."We don't know how she got here from the Lancaster area to the Phoenixarea," Aaron Douglas with the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said.
"Hines does not have family here; we don't know if she has associates.
"Douglassaid detectives in Los Angeles were alerted by the Department of Child Services, Heaven was dropped off some time on Friday.Smith said he recently noticed a change in Hines' behavior.
"She kind of started getting sneaky on me. She started hiding stuff and being more distant in a way, like she didn't tell me where she was going or who she was hanging out with," Smith said.
Since learning of girlfriend's death, Smith said investigators told him Hines was arrested in Los Angeles on Dec. 7.
"They wouldn't say why but I think it was for soliciting sex," Smith said.
The last entry on Hines' Facebook page tells the story of a lonely young girl, missing family and friends. Before leaving, Hines told Smith she was in L.A. with their baby, but he discovered she was really in Las Vegas.
"Heaven was never with Brittany in L.A., she dropped Heaven off with someone. She asked a couple of people to visit her in Vegas and I didn't even know she was in Vegas. I read that on her Facebook page," Smith said.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner should have results from Hines' autopsy completed early this week.
