Welcome to the BSide, my dark detectives. Today, we’re pulling off I-75 and walking straight into the shadows of Resaca, Georgia—a small town with a heavy silence hanging over one truck stop in particular, where the flickering neon lights cast eerie glows on cracked asphalt and crumbling concrete. This waypoint, serves as a haunting reminder of the stories left untold, whispers of the past drifting through the still air like ghosts seeking solace. Here, amidst the quiet hum of engines and the distant rustle of trees, secrets lurk in every corner, waiting for our keen eyes to uncover the mysteries hidden within this seemingly mundane oasis of desolation.

🛑🔵 GORDON COUNTY, GA 🔴🛑
Caleb Smith: Found Deceased. Keeslyn Roberts: Still Missing.
What’s happening at the Flying J?

---

🚨 Case One: Caleb Nathaniel Smith (21)

Last Seen: January 16, 2020
Location: Flying J Truck Stop, Resaca, GA
Caleb Smith planned a quick visit to Rome, GA. He never made it. After stopping at the Flying J to get gas, he was captured on CCTV inside the connected Denny’s around 12:30 AM, sitting across from a lone man. Caleb called his grandmother, saying he didn’t have enough gas money and was going to ask the man for $5.

He left the building, and just like that—he vanished.
His car was later found backed into a spot behind the Denny’s, out of view of any surveillance cameras. Inside: his keys on the floor, phone (battery removed) in the glove box, jacket tossed inside, and oddly enough—half a tank of gas.

Weeks later, on February 3rd, 2020, his nude body was found five miles away in an overgrown marsh between Sugar Valley and Hill City. The timing? Suspicious. A brush fire had broken out in the same area that very day, and per later reports from the Forestry Commission, the fire was set intentionally—likely to destroy evidence.

Although the autopsy cited methamphetamine overdose as the cause of death, Caleb’s family never believed it. No visible injuries, no signs of violence… but no shoes, clean feet, no clothes recovered, and multiple shoe prints surrounding his body.

Yet—no criminal investigation. The case was closed.
The family wasn’t even allowed to view the body.– SAY WHAT? – That is also suspicious as all get out.

🚨 Case Two: Keeslyn Noelle Roberts (20)

Missing Since: January 18, 2020
Last Seen: Same Flying J Truck Stop

Just two days after Caleb vanished, 20-year-old Keeslyn Roberts dropped off a friend for a shift at the very same Denny’s. She was supposed to return by 10 PM. Around 11 PM, Keeslyn entered an employee-only area and was confronted by staff. She fled the scene before deputies could arrive, leaving behind a backpack with her wallet, ID, cash, keys, charger, and clothes. Her car? Found just five spaces away from where Caleb’s had been. Also backed in.

A lot doesn’t add up here:

• Keeslyn never parked like that, according to her dad.
• The driver’s seat had been adjusted—much farther back than she would’ve needed.
• Her phone, never recovered. Pings place her at the Flying J around 11 PM.
• 45 days later, clothes confirmed to be hers were found under a bush behind a dumpster—by the family, not law enforcement.
• The items were bagged, but never tested. “No crime was committed,” authorities said.

And the kicker? Gordon County deputies refused to take the missing person’s report. Her father was told to go to Murray County because that’s where she lived. It took five days for a detective to be assigned.

Meanwhile, no one searched the area. No one followed up on surveillance. Her car was never processed.

And to this day—Keeslyn is still missing.

❓A Pattern Worth Investigating

Let’s recap:

• Caleb Smith disappears on Jan 16, 2020.
• Keeslyn Roberts disappears on Jan 18, 2020.
• Both from the same truck stop.
• Both cars backed in near the same spot.
• Both cases riddled with inconsistencies, minimal investigative effort, and disturbing oversight.

Fast-forward to March 2025, and the strange continues:

• Alayna Carter (25) is found deceased right near the same Flying J. Her vehicle, still running and in gear, supposedly rolled over her. Now, if it’s true it’s an unfortunate circumstance but the information provided by authorities is a little lack luster in detail. But what made her get out of her van? Why was she in the road? What happened to her?
• Unidentified Male Body, found near the Gordon/Bartow County line the same month. Cause of death? Still undetermined. Who is this man? Where did he come from? Are his loved ones looking for him?

When do coincidences start to form a pattern?
