The Investigation Division of the Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff is requesting the public’s assistance in an ongoing death investigation.

On Friday, July 20, 2018, at about 10:16 AM, Deputy Sheriffs were dispatched to a report of a deceased body in the Contra Costa Water District canal near Driftwood Drive and Pacifica Avenue in Bay Point. A Water District employee found the body while doing a regular check of the canal. The Sheriff’s Office Dive Team removed the body, which was transported to the Coroner’s Division.

The person was later identified as 25-year-old Kreonna Smith of Pittsburg. The cause of death is pending. It is believed that Smith was in the water for several days.

Smith is described as 5’,6”, approximately 175 pounds, with brown colored eyes and black hair. She was last seen wearing dark pants and a white shirt with dark horizontal stripes. She was reported missing to the Pittsburg Police Department on July 16, 2018. Smith does not have a vehicle and was on foot.

Anyone who may have seen Smith or has any information on this case is asked to contact the Office of the Sheriff Investigation Division at (925) 313-2600. For any tips, please email: [email protected] or call 866-846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.

I Ended up meeting this lady’s mother At the store in Parkside And she was passing out Flyers of her missing daughter. I remember thinking that day I will post this on Facebook for her and her daughter will be found fine. I said a little prayer as I posted it. I didn’t even hear about anything happening In the canal until right now. This literally breaks my heart. Rest In Peace Sweetheart. My condolences to her family.

I remember reading about a 14 year old girl found dead on some commercial property on the Pittsburg/Antioch Highway during the 1990’s. Was that case ever solved?
