Francis Winfield Smith, 61, of Lothian, Maryland, was last seen on April 21, 2013, and is an active missing person. Described as a Black male, 5 feet 8 inches and about 160 pounds, he had gray or partially gray hair, brown eyes, and a scar on the back of his head. At the time he disappeared he was reportedly wearing a black leather coat, a white and blue button-up shirt, black jeans, grey and purple Nike shoes, and a black cap.

Smith had an earlier missing-person episode that month: he was reported missing on April 10 after leaving to go fishing and was last seen walking on Bayard Road around 8 p.m., then returned home on April 12. Just over a week later he went missing again; his official last contact is April 21, though police note he had not been seen or heard from since May 4, 2013. He was known to walk Bayard Road and to spend time in the woods; searches of the area have turned up no sign of him.

Anyone with information about Francis Smith’s movements in late April or early May 2013, or who may have seen him on Bayard Road, is asked to contact the Anne Arundel County Police Department.
