Hi, my name is: Ron Mott
I’ve been a Dateline correspondent for: I'm a newbie. Started my first assignment in Fall 2011.
My inspiration(s) in telling this story: Digging into what was dubbed 'The Shame of Lorain' to see what really happened. Or didn't happen.
The most memorable words I heard: Nancy Smith telling me she'd rather stay in jail than admit to a horrendous crime she says she did not commit, even after nearly 15 years behind bars.
What still surprises me about this story: That it is still unresolved after all this time.
Last but not least, in general, I wish: Viewers will take calls to jury service with the utmost diligence, care and concern for justice as they would want and should expect from their peers when entrusted to sit in judgment of them.
How do you Dateline?: I usually Dateline with my feet propped, a beverage in one hand, iPad in the other, and glued to yet another dramatic story.


Thank you for the work you have done on this case - I look forward to watching Sunday evening - This horrific case was fabricated along with many others during the the time that Greg White was Lorain County prosecutor - honest people resigned from his department . Overzealous is not an appropriate word but he had his polital sites set on advancing and that he did do . Another case that was fabricated during this time frame was a theft charge against the Director of Green Acres Childrens home. Her garbage was staged with what became evidence - once they ruined her and put her behind bars they closed the childrens home and bragged about saving the county $1.0 m / year. There is a timeline that could be used to illustrate a "ten year" of bogus "crime fighting" that went on in Lorain County . I am hopeful some of this if finally exposed and those fasely accused remain free . Sadly it is too late for Marion Gordon who fought for the betterment of Lorain County Children as a social worker and then as the Director of the Childrens home since she died from Cancer last year. Im curious to see what you are able to identify in the Smith Allen case.
After watching haunted memories I believe the parents who sued for those large sums of money fabricated this evidence to do just that, sue and win large sums of money. In particular that Grandin woman is the perpetrator. How hard would it have been to plan. Registered sex offenders names are in the public domain. The Grandin woman I believe is the guilty party who fabricated this whole story for money and not caring she was destorying lives in the process. I am convinced she told her daughter what to say as far as the abuse. She is the one who should be prosecuted.
It all started with power and money - Greg White lorain county prosecutor a phantom star and prosecutor Rosenbaum.
Im sure they dangled the $$$ via a conviction and head start insurance policy to these witnesses - a way for them to secure a win.
I never saw Greg Whites name tied to the Smith Allen NBC story but Greg Whites office fueled this case of injustice and many more in Lorain County - and as you will see, his ways finally caught up with him.

Greg White hire this man- Rosenbaum
who is wild and has not a moral compass
articles/2011/08/02/news/mj4867046.txt
together they had the power to create cases, ruin lives, fabricate stories,
The bigger motive to appear to be heros - Greg White had his Narcissitic sites set on a "bigger" , "more powerful" office than Lorain County Prosecutor and ultimately he was appointed US Attorney General by President Bush
and then later dismounted by the same Administration via Carl Rove who lost the 5000 email around the reasons for the demotion(s) something to do with scandal - more money - greater power
But during the greg white - Rosembaum phantom justice tenure in Lorain County the Nancy Smith and Allen case was just the tip of an iceberg of bizzare , twisted stories of "justice"
Here are other examples of some of the white/rosenbaum injustices-
