Missing Since: 2017-07-04 Location: Tijeras, New Mexico
Smith was last seen in Tijeras, New Mexico on July 4, 2017. He didn’t take his personal belongings, cellular phone or anything of value with him, but may have had his wallet and electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card. He has never been heard from again. At the time of his disappearance, he was living with the mother of a deceased friend. He’d been living at that house, near N.M. 337 and Raven Road, for a few months. At 4:00 p.m., after having hot dogs and some beer, he left to walk to the park. He was in a good mood and looking forward to going to an Albuquerque Isotopes baseball game and fireworks that evening. The game was supposed to start at 5:30, and he promised to be back in time, but he never returned. Authorities believe Smith may be in danger, as he left behind his medication. The woman he was living with describes him as a very pleasant person and a “free spirit” but not the kind of person to just disappear. His case remains unsolved.
