Earl Ruthbin Smart, 46, was last known to have contact on January 1, 2013, while living on a rural property in the area of The Dalles, Wasco County, Oregon. He is described as having brown hair and blue eyes.

No one reported him missing until September 21, 2015, when his landlord realized they had not seen or heard from him in about two years. That long delay between last contact and the missing-person report left investigators with few fresh leads and limited public details to work from.

Anyone with information about where Earl Smart lived, worked, or might have gone after January 1, 2013, is asked to come forward.
