Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1128) and 7 other sources
Garrison Smith, a 57-year-old man from Hardinsburg, Indiana, was last seen on July 14, 1999. On that day, he reportedly drove his vehicle to the end of a country driveway, but he never returned home. Later that same day, his car was found abandoned with the windows rolled down and the keys still inside. There was no sign of Garrison at the scene, and he has not been heard from since. His disappearance has puzzled investigators for years, with few details emerging about what might have happened.

Smith was described as having graying brown hair and blue eyes, and he was wearing a green work shirt, jeans, a hat with an attached light, a gold watch, and a diamond ring on his left ring finger at the time of his disappearance. He also had a tattoo of the name "Ruth" on his left arm. His family and friends were left with no clues, as he vanished without any significant trace, leaving authorities to suspect foul play in his case.

Despite multiple investigations and searches, Garrison's whereabouts remain unknown, and his case is still listed as unsolved. The Washington County Sheriff's Office continues to seek information that could help provide answers.
