	Carlie Brucia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carlie Jane Brucia (March 16, 1992 - February 1, 2004) was a girl from Florida who was raped and murdered by Joseph P. Smith after being kidnapped from a car wash near her home in Sarasota on February 1, 2004, while returning from a sleepover at a friend's house.
		On February 6, police announced that Smith, a 37-year-old father of three and car mechanic with a long list of arrests for drug-related charges and one for kidnapping and false imprisonment, was in custody as the primary suspect.
		Partly for this reason, Joseph Brucia, her father, approved of making the law in her name, although he concedes this law would not have applied to her specific case, since the charges for which Smith was on probation were not the sexual offenses this law targets.

		Buick Century is a model name used by the Buick division of General Motors for a line of fullsize performance vehicles from 1936 to 1942 and 1954 to 1958; Buick also used the Century name from 1973 to 2004 for its value-added midsize cars.
		The murder of children is considered a particularly abhorrent crime in most societies; they are perceived within their communities and the state at large as being vulnerable and therefore especially susceptible to abduction and murder.
		However, Carlie's father, concedes this law would not have applied to her specific case, since the charges Smith was on probation for were not the sexual offences, this law targets.
