Convicted sex offender Cary Jay Smith has moved steadily across Southern California after being released from Coalinga State Hospital on July 14—and public officials have been tracking him all the way.
Smith was last spotted at a motel in northern San Diego County on July 19, after making stops in Lake Elsinore, Corona, Orange, and Los Angeles. Local law enforcement and city officials have been using social media to keep the public informed of Smith’s whereabouts.
