Alijah Kensinger was found on night the search began: the morning-after publicity stunt was a sham

The head of communications in charge of Net Control at the Cherohala Challenge last Saturday revealed what many already suspected--Alijah was found the night the search began--the missing child alert issued by Sheriff Tommy Jones on Alijah Kensinger that continued into the next morning was partially staged. The publicity stunt on a busy state route endangered everyone involved. 

Excluding Monroe EMS from Post Incident Debriefing Was a Violation of H.R. 5852

Update 6/27/2025--local news Monroe Buzz reporter remembers the morning after the search showed 30 degrees overnight temperature. "Using a child to further an adult purpose...unforgiveable"...

MCNWW--the whole scheme was part of an elaborate ruse choreographed like a Hollywood script...Look at Alijah's condition as he was carried by Tommy Jones: does he look like he's been out in frigid temperatures for 17 hours? And, if he had been, what responsible rescue squad member(s) would have released custody of a medical transport patient for a political stunt?...EMS Director Randy White was running for Sheriff against incumbent Tommy Jones--Alijah was the Prize, and Tommy wanted all the attention for himself...Contact DA Hatchett and ask for an investigation!

 See Pic with news-reporter Kyle Grainger from WVLT on the morning after the search: Why was Alijah's mother not told that Alijah was found the night of the search?  Seen as she had just arrived from the Knoxville airport: she seems to be in shock!...

Sheriff Tommy Jones may get away without an investigation by the DA's Office... The next County Sheriff's election is in 2026. 

There hasn't been a case in Monroe County that has as many twists and turns since the Dateline MSNBC 'Secrets in the Smokies'

The Alijah missing child alert case is a made-for-TV docudrama--how many people were involved in the elaborate conspiracy to manipulate and deceive the public and the victim's relatives?

           ****************

In 2022 An eyewitness summed it up like this -- "It started on the afternoon of 1/13/22, when 6-year-old Alijah wandered off on a familiar hiking trail behind the house, living with the paternal grandmother.  As we now know (he was sitting under a tree less than a mile from the house)... if he was ever lost or unable to find his way back, he had been told to 'stay where you are, and we will find you.'  Instead of rapidly forming a grid search or yelling out for the kid, the event was blown way out of proportion with 3 noisy helicopters, 7 federal and state agencies, and news media from Knoxville camped out at the Coker Creek School parking area for 2 days, (there were even food vendors) --  it was designed to be a next day 'golden opportunity' public relations (PR) event for the 2022 sheriff's election." 

 

It turned into something so twisted and sinister that Monroe EMS was prevented from joining the post-incident debriefing...? Post-incident debriefing looks for answers to how well prepared were we,  how well did we perform, and how we can perform better in the future...? 

What was so damaging that Tommy Jones didn't want anyone to know? 

Publicity Stunt At Any Cost

Sheriff Tommy Jones' effort to stage a 'political sideshow' in the Alijah Kensinger incident raises questions of 'Official Misconduct'--TN 39-16402. (1)  One who commits an act relating to the servant's office or employment that constitutes an unauthorized exercise of official power.  The offense of 'official misconduct' is a class E felony.  As far as federal violation of 'civil rights',  Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.

Would Tommy Jones risk the safety of a 6-year-old boy to get an advantage in the May 3rd, 2022 Sheriff's election--and,  if part of this two-day operation was 'staged' could there be other details that should be uncovered?  

Late Friday morning 1/14/22, Tommy's hand-picked goons brought Alijah from the walking trail site behind the grandmother's house to the command center and parked as far as possible from the waiting ambulance so they could parade south from the farthest spot in the parking lot, right up to the waiting news media... this publicity stunt on a busy state route endangered everyone involved-the gathered crowd looks on as Tommy's water boy Jason Fyllyaw tries to offer some protection and ready-made excuses: it's ironic that nearly two weeks later, a sheriff's deputy was killed on a busy highway while outside of his patrol car.

When EMS Director Randy White became aware Alijah was found he gave specific instructions that the ambulance crew would come and take over: his order was ignored even though improperly handling a patient who may have suffered trauma increases the risk for cardiac arrest… without regard to standard medical protocol, the six-year old was loaded in the back of a truck and brought near the command center so he could be carried by Sheriff Jones on a busy highway ‘like a trophy' ...

“Has Tommy Jones lost his friggin’ mind?”...mishandling a medical transport patient, (a possible trauma victim) can lead to horrendously expensive legal costs... Courts have ruled that 'emotional distress' is mental suffering caused by a particular event or negligence. As such, it is possible to file a civil lawsuit on the grounds of emotional distress to receive compensation for the damage caused. 

New details emerge from a recent video interview with Alijah's mother, in what is now regarded as a 2-day 'Theater of the Absurd'...

Trenton Debity was the actual person that supposedly found Alijah, although he never appeared before the waiting TV camera crews (unusual to not make a comment in a situation like this)--instead, search-volunteer Stone Gray who was 'nearby', made some comments...but left many unanswered questions.

Alijah's mother picked up the child and left town; if not for the loud helicopter noise, you likely could have yelled out for Alijah from the grandmother's porch--the mother has ties to Washington state, Knoxville TN, and her parents in Virginia...when found, Alijah's first words were "where's my daddy?" The burden of the horrible ordeal must have been devastating for all, especially for the paternal grandmother who lives near the Coker Creek Welcome Center--she had custody of the child or he had been left there by the parents.

Attorney Russ Egli files Notice of Appearance in the Whiskey Barrel Case

Knoxville Attorney Russ Egli has filed an appearance in the Whiskey Barrel Trading LLC vs Robyn Hurvitz case in Monroe County TN.

A July 2024 press release on Marquis Who's Who describes Mr. Egli:

"A distinguished attorney with a career spanning over 18 years. In 2007 as a new member of the bar, Mr. Egli went before the Tennessee Senate Judiciary Committee, highlighting the fact that the Tennessee Judiciary was experiencing significant problems with a litigant's due process right to pursue the removal of a judge which has an actual conflict or an appearance of impropriety. 

This Senate Judiciary hearing in which other members of the Tennessee Bar, as well as Tennesse residents who were in litigation with a judge refusing to recuse from the case despite an actual conflict or appearance of impropriety testified was instrumental in changing the laws surrounding the recusal of a judge in Tennessee as well as the disbandment of the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary which was not disciplining Tennessee judges who had clearly violated their judicial canons."

In 2018, 'hype and fluffery' was an integral part of Billy's playbook.

While acting as his own attorney before the Tennessee Court of Appeals in 2024, he sang a different tune. 

'Billy' or ‘William Jennings Smith’ was sued by gal/pal Robyn Hurvitz over a real estate dispute–the case made it to the Tennessee Court of Appeals as ‘Whiskey Barrel Trading Company vs Robyn Hurvitz.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-vExEKQgoE

Whiskey Barrel Case Delayed for Years if Tried in the U.S. Supreme Court?

Pro se attorney oral argument in the Whiskey Barrel Trading Company vs Robyn Hurvitz case appeal made by Coker Creek resident Billy Smith... The Appeal was denied in TN State Court...He was often incoherent and rambling with comments and text that he had difficulty with--but, like he said, "he ain't no lawyer." What options does he have?

Billy started a Gofundme several months ago--says he is donating $2500 to benefit victims of corruption in Monroe County but the donations balance as of 4/5/2025 only shows $315... And has dropped to '0' funds as of 5/27/2025 https://gofund.me/c1976eda

  *************************

Filing an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court can delay a state action.

• The Supreme Court has the power to review decisions made by the state courts.
• When an appeal is filed, it can lead to the court deciding to hear the case (granting certiorari).
• While the Court considers the case, it can issue stays or injunctions that halt the state action in question.
• Stays: The Court can issue a "stay," which is a temporary suspension of legal proceedings or actions. This can prevent a state from enforcing a law or carrying out a decision while the appeal is pending.
• The Appeal Process Itself: The legal process of an appeal to the Supreme Court itself takes time. So even without a stay being issued, the process itself delays the state action.
• If the Supreme Court ultimately rules against the state, it can invalidate the state's law or action, effectively preventing it from being implemented.
• But here's the bad news Billy--The Supreme Court accepts a very small percentage of the cases that are presented to it, and this includes pro se appeals.
• The Supreme Court has discretionary jurisdiction, meaning it gets to choose which cases it will hear.
• It primarily focuses on cases that have significant legal principles or have a nationwide impact.
• The deadline for filing a petition for writ of certiorari with the Supreme Court is generally 90 days after the entry of judgment or decree by the lower court. Some cases have an even shorter deadline of 30 days.

By dragging his former girlfriend/business partner 'through the mud' with a litany of insults and off-topic remarks, Billy showed his true colors. It was more likely that the Arabs and the Jews would have agreed to a permanent peace accord before the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to hear an appeal by 'Billy' William Jennings Smith.

Recent Clues Shed Light on 2023 Facebook Hoaxster Daniela Valderrama

It was an alarming and bizarre encounter on May 22, 2023. It is now crystal clear the motive behind the malicious tactics used was a 'swatting attack' by a 'serial hoaxster.'...the victim remembers, "It felt like being chased by a raving lunatic." 

On Monday, May 22, 2023 -- an alert was posted on the local Facebook users group by Daniela Valderrama saying..."Does Anyone know who this creepy guy is?"

The so-called "creepy guy" was an innocent victim and was falsely accused and harassed for no reason--he was interviewed by MCNW and wants to share how he ran into the accuser...

Daniela Valderrama

Update 2/26/2025...Why was Billy's new girlfriend so 'alarmed and hysterical' back in 2023...was it because they wanted to hide what they had on Cooper Hollow Road...?

Could it be that there is a 34-acre parcel of land near Tilley Lane registered to the infamous  'Whiskey Barrel Trading Company...?'  It's an LLC that was dissolved years ago...There is much more to come...

                         ...........................

Manny Silva says...I was driving towards Cooper Hollow Road and saw what looked like a stranded or perhaps a lost motorist on the side of the road: I stopped and said hello...As soon as I realized she must be a friend or girlfriend of dirty trickster 'Billy' William Jennings Smith; I drove on, and could hear as she "screamed and hollered"... she wanted to know "How did you know that, and who are you?"...

Cooper Hollow Road in Monroe County TN is one of the most hidden places to live and use as a base of operations.

As I looked in my rear-view mirror, she had turned around and was following me--GPS cache meta-data would show that she followed me after our brief conversation...

I felt she was so enraged that I better stop and try to calm her down--she started video recording her shouting and screaming, so I took a picture of her...I later made a police report at the Tellico PD with a Monroe County officer...I was in fear for my life and felt I was being chased by a "raving lunatic."

Watch Tommy G video below--it shows how Ryan Montgomery was pranked by a Fakesbook hoax and the aftermath.

Majorana 1 Chip is coming soon--will make real-world quantum computing a reality

Microsoft has unveiled a new quantum chip called "Majorana 1" that claims will make scaled, real-world quantum computing a reality in just years rather than decades. It's palm-sized and has a delightfully retro look yet Microsoft claims it will eventually pack more theoretical computing power than all the world's current classical computers combined.

The Majorana 1 comes after nearly two decades of research. The big claims come thanks to Microsoft's unique approach to the quantum problem. Scientists at the company have engineered a first-of-its-kind "topo-conductor" material that they say exploits an exotic "topological" state of matter, bridging the gap between quantum physics and practical engineering.

Microsoft adds that this topological state enables smaller, faster, and more stable quantum bits (qubits). In fact, the company is so confident in the technology that it claims topo-conductors and the new type of chip they enable provide a clear roadmap to scaling up to over one million qubits on a single chip – a key threshold for quantum supremacy over classical computers for real-world applications.

Superbowl Blowout is Big Surprise for Taylor Swift

Downcast Travis Kelce made his way to girlfriend Taylor Swift’s suite on Sunday inside Caesars Superdome after the Eagles thwarted the Chiefs’ hopes of a three-peat with a 40-22 loss in Super Bowl 2025.

Dressed in ’70s-inspired attire that he arrived at the game in, the Chiefs tight end was seen walking through the hallways of the New Orleans venue in footage shared by “Entertainment Tonight” following a disappointing performance across the board.

Kelce, now facing questions about his NFL future, had zero receptions in the first half.
