NOW: Police investigating the mysterious case of Lia Smith have just uncovered a hidden compartment inside the girl’s bedroom — and what they found inside has reportedly changed the entire direction of the investigation.
According to official sources, detectives were conducting a detailed search of Lia’s home when one officer noticed that a drawer beneath her desk felt unusually heavy. Upon closer inspection, they discovered a false wooden panel, concealing a narrow space no one in the family claimed to know about.
When the compartment was opened, officers found several sealed envelopes, a small notebook, and an unfamiliar USB drive — items that appeared to have been carefully hidden. Investigators immediately halted the search to secure the evidence, describing what they found as “completely unexpected.”
Authorities have not revealed the exact contents of the materials, but one source close to the case said that what was written inside the notebook contradicts Lia’s previously known timeline, forcing detectives to re-examine everything they thought they knew about her disappearance.
