I have been fascinated with this case since I first heard about it and I hope someone else becomes as interested as me to write a book. This is the story of Treva Throneberry, a.k.a. Brianna Rebecca Stewart, a.k.a. Stephanie Danielle Lewis, a.k.a. Emily Kara Williams, a.k.a. Keili Traci Smitt, a.k.a. Leeann Davis, a.k.a. Cara Lewis, a.k.a. Leeann Keili. Treva Throneberry was born on May 18, 1969, in Wichita Falls, Texas. Unfortunately, her young life was fraught with troubles. It was reported that she and her sisters were sexually abused as a child by her uncle and her family moved around Texas. At one point, her family moved to Electra, Texas, and she grew up here for some time. In 1985, when Treva was fifteen years old, she moved back to Wichita Falls and it is around this time that more problems arose. Once enrolled in high school, she began telling stories that featured her being abducted and raped by Satanists. Later that year, those stories began to involve people closer to her - Treva accused her father of putting a gun to her head and raping her. Numerous holes in her story and how details changed clued in officials. Nevertheless, she was placed in the foster care system due to her allegations.

However, in 1986, she was sent to a mental hospital for suicidal ideation. She stayed here for five months, was diagnosed with a "characterological disorder" and prescribed medications. After her stay here, she was transferred to Lena Pope Home for Troubled Girls in Fort Worth, Texas, and continued to maintain a distance from her family despite her treatment goals and recommendations.
The following year, she graduated high school in Fort Worth and this was when her life started a serious spiral. She initially moved to Arlington. However, not long after, she began wandering across the country with many different identities and stories. Yet, one thing always remained the same - she was always a teen with an abusive background. Generally, she would go to a new location, assume a new identity, live in homeless shelters or foster homes, and enroll in the local high school. At one point, she went back to the initial story where her father raped her though she did add that her mother was killed. Things took another dramatic turn when she began accusing foster parents of abuse but due to a lack of evidence, no one was ever charged.

In 1993, she was in Corvallis, Oregon, and going by Keili Smitt. She was staying with a family she met at a nearby church and had to legally change her name. Of course, she had minimal documentation to provide for the name change and stated that she was raped by her father who was also a police officer. When she fled, she did not take any documents. When officers questioned her story, it was clear that it was false so she was charged with filing a false report.
