| Update: Seven Hours Later FBI approves Smith records for release By Debra Friedman staff writer Posted: 05/22/2009 10:32:01 PM EDT After a lengthy review by federal officials, thousands of pages of court transcripts and evidence are set for release in the case of a Greenwich man who vanished while on his honeymoon cruise in 2005. Attorneys for the family of George A. Smith IV and his widow Jennifer Hagel-Smith met in Greenwich Probate Court Friday morning for a status conference, where they confirmed the records will be distributed to the press sometime next week.
"About 98 percent of the transcripts and evidence will be released on a disc form," said Probate Court Judge David Hopper.
The records have gone through a long process of review with attorneys from both sides proposing redactions. Redactions have also been made by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office, which currently have an open investigation into Smith's disappearance.
The records are expected to shine new light on a case long shrouded in mystery
