Eric Smith has turned into an adult and looks like it now.

The then freckled-faced teen is 42 years old now and if looked at his visual appearance now, the main difference we can see is obviously his change in hair, which has gone completely bald.

Eric seems decently stable now and has told that the man now has changed and he would prove that he is not a threat and would definitely be an asset to society.

Eric Smith is not in jail and has already been released from it.

As per the news, the murderer was released from prison in February. This man, who killed a 4-year-old boy Derrick when he was only 13, had caught worldwide attention before in 1993. And, now in 2022 too, he has been the topic of headlines after the news of his release from jail surfaced on the virtual platforms.

After serving behind bars for 28 years, he finally became free from prison on parole. With his release, many have questioned if he is a changed man now. Some of the Savona residents, who feared for their own children before, the release of Eric have once again sprouted a root of intimidation and fear in them.

Rewinding back to 1993, the 13-year-old Savona teenager Smith lured Derrick Robie into a wooded area near the boy’s Steuben County, NY home. Afterward, he strangled a young child Derrick, smashed his head to death in a fit of rage.

The deceased parents’ Dale and Doreen Robie, who have opposed Smith’s release each time he came repeatedly, are also vigilant along with the Savona residents after Eric’s release as their nightmare has come back.

Eric Smith has shared his engagement details during his parole hearing.

The criminal even revealed his future and marriage plans as per CBS News. With this, he even disclosed that he is engaged and even had a fiancée, who is an aspirant lawyer and is preparing for law studies. His fiance was the one who wrote to him the questions about the juvenile justice system.
