Around this Kansas City neighborhood, Edwin Hall is known as "Jack."

He moved here with his wife and young son a few months ago.

And someone going by the name "Jack" on this MySpace web page looks just like Hall.

"Jack" lives in Kansas City just like Hall, both have a wife with the same name.

If this is Hall's MySpace page it paints a disturbing picture of the 26-year-old man accused of kidnapping and killing a teenage girl.

He calls himself a "sweet troubled soul" who likes "eating small children and harming small animals."
his heroes are "batman" and his dad, even though he calls a none too flattering name.

One of his favorite movies is "Strangeland" ; a horror movie about a schizophrenic killer who lures teenage girls over the Internet and tortures the daughter of a police detective.

Quick movie sound clip Kelsey Smith's father has had a long career in law enforcement.

Investigators say Hall kidnapped Kelsey Smith from this target store Saturday night.

Police say this surveillance tape shows Hall's pickup truck entering the parking lot soon after Smith arrived.

The video then shows smith being forced into her own car.

On Wednesday, Smith's body was found in the woods, but at this point it's not clear if Hall even knew Kelsey Smith.

Those closest to the teenage victim are wondering why she was targeted.

His neighbor, Cameron Migues, lives next door to hall and it was his call to police led to Smith's arrest.

Migues says Hall was just a "friendly, normal guy."
