Charles D. Smith, known as Chuck, was 23 when he disappeared after being dropped at the Indianapolis bus terminal by his family on March 28 or 29, 1982. He told them he was going to Knoxville, Tennessee, for a job with a trucking company, carrying a brown suitcase and wearing a flannel shirt. That farewell at the terminal was the last contact his family had with him.

Investigators later found no record of the trucking firm Smith named, and other details of his story proved inconsistent. His personal effects and a tattoo reading Smitty are noted identifiers, but the trail went cold at the bus station and the investigation produced no significant leads. The circumstances of his disappearance remain unexplained.

If anyone remembers seeing Chuck at the Indianapolis terminal in late March 1982 or knew of the job he described, please share what you know.
