On December 19, Andrew Hintt, 31, and his two sons, Benjamin, 7, and Sebastian, 5, were discovered dead in their house. The two boys’ mother, Hintt’s fiancé, saw Alize Smith for the first time since her family was killed on Wednesday at his bond hearing.

On Tuesday, December 21, 2021, U.S. Marshals detained Smith in Huntley, Illinois, 11000 block of Timer Dr., on suspicion of parole violations.

Smith was under investigation concerning the shooting murders of Andrew Hintt, 31, and his two sons, Benjamin, 7, and Sebastian, 5.

In March 2017, Smith was given a four-year jail term in an Illinois correctional facility for aggravated robbery, according to court documents. His release took place in July 2021.

According to the police, numerous pieces of evidence were taken from the Huntley home. Police request that anyone with knowledge come forward as they look into Smith’s possible involvement in the triple crime.

The two boys’ father and Hintt’s fiancé, Maddie Way, expressed her happiness that the day had finally arrived and her knowledge of the impending murder accusations.

Who Was Andrew Hintt?

Andrew Hintt was self-employed and the owner and driver of his meat truck. Hintt was “the best father,” according to Eileen when he wasn’t working.

Five children were born to Hintt and his fiancée. However, Benjamin and Sebastian resided nearby with other family members. Andrew had weekly visitation rights, according to Eileen.

Andrew’s grandparents, Kathy and Vernon Hintt stated their great-grandsons enjoyed playing hoops, Legos, soccer, and Minecraft video games.

Theresa Eileen, Andrew Hintt’s aunt, claimed to have been 9 years old when Andrew was born.

Eileen claimed that their bond was more like that of a big sister and young brother due to their similar ages than an aunt and nephew. The other three children, all under the age of three, and Hintt’s fiancée were in California at the time of the deaths.

Eileen revealed that the family was in the process of relocating to California and expressed their optimism that their two eldest children would soon be able to do the same.
