Since the murder of Bothell resident and mother Susann Smith, neighbors have been frustrated with the lack of movement in the Bothell Police Department’s investigation. Alan Smith, Susann’s estranged husband, has been named as a person of interest in the crime and has since moved into the home where her body was found.

But police were called to the home on Thursday, May 16 for a report of a naked woman at the home.

A neighbor could see the 32-year-old Seattle female naked in the backyard through the fence, according to the police report.

“I should have told you that there is an elderly home next door and they probably saw you,” Smith told the woman in front of police.

The woman told police she was sunbathing. Smith, who was in the backyard with the woman, was given a warning and apologized to police. The woman told police she and Smith just started dating and she was unaware that the neighbors could see her.

No one was arrested in the incident. No one has been arrested in connection with Smith’s murder either.

“It is infuriating to have to see him on a daily basis carrying on with life as if nothing has happened,” said a neighbor who requested anonymity for safety concerns. “His ex-wife has had her life ripped from her brutally as he sits in his backyard singing and playing his guitar, taking weekend trips, and having his new female ‘friend’ over for stays.”

Alan Smith has told neighbors that along with moving back into the house he plans to file for custody of his two young children, who are with Child Protective Services.

Fliers have also appeared near the home with Susann Smith’s face and information about her murder. The fliers were removed a short time later.

Susann Smith, 37, was found murdered in her home on Feb. 12 with defensive wounds on her hands and arms, a fractured skull, 19 separate blunt force strikes and stab wounds to her face and hands, court documents state. She had to be identified by her dental records.

Witness interviews paint a picture of her estranged husband Alan Justin Smith’s frustration with the couple’s custody battle. Susann Smith had threatened to move back to Germany and take the kids, according to court records.

Bothell police found Susann Smith’s body in her bathtub with no signs of sexual assault and the front door unlocked.

Her body was found after her employer, Z2Live, reported that she had not showed up for work.

DNA from the murder scene, along with DNA from a bicycle connected to the crime and matching Allan Smith’s credit card records were taken for testing.

Alan Smith also was reported to have inconsistencies and lied to police during questioning, according to search warrant documents. He also had searches on his work computer for a flight from Seattle to Simon Bolivar Airport in Venezuela for one adult and two children and did a search for “will Venezuela extradite to the U.S.,” the search warrant documents continue.

He had also discussed how to kill his ex-wife with an ex-girlfriend, according to court records.

“How can an arrest take this long with all the evidence that has been released?” said a neighbor. “I feel her murder is going unnoticed by many, but in our household it is a daily topic and we cannot wait to see the person put away.”
