John George Smith, 36, was last seen by his grandmother on December 1, 2006, in St. James City, Florida. He had a history of hitchhiking around the United States and was known to use multiple aliases, including Emmaus Carrol Walter and Johnnie George Walter. At the time he disappeared he reportedly had no known means of transportation and frequently relied on unconventional methods to move between places.

Local law enforcement has investigated but there have been no significant developments or confirmed sightings since that December day. There has been no indication of foul play, but the transient lifestyle and use of aliases have made it difficult to trace his movements and establish a reliable timeline. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
