Douglas Smith Missing Person Case

Douglas Richard Smith, a 23-year-old U.S. Navy officer, was last seen on November 25, 1968, in Mountain View, California. He was stationed at Moffett Field with Patrol Squadron VP-19 and was expected to report for duty the next day, but he never showed up. Smith's car, a white 1967 Volkswagen coupe with California license plate HXJ 292, also disappeared around the same time.

Smith, who went by the nickname "Doug," had distinguishing features such as a scar on his lower abdomen, another scar on his chin, and a mole on the left side of his chin. He was 5'9" tall, weighed approximately 130-150 pounds, and had brown hair and blue eyes. Despite extensive efforts, there have been no significant leads or breakthroughs in his case, and both Smith and his vehicle remain missing.

Authorities continue to seek any information that might help resolve this decades-old mystery. The Mountain View Police Department remains the investigating agency.
