John David Smith, also known as Tom or Tommy, was 53 when he disappeared from the Springfield, Missouri, area. He was last seen on February 15, 2001; his girlfriend Maureen Webb vanished the next day after saying she planned to visit him. They were believed to be traveling in Maureen’s black 1990 Ford Aerostar van, which was later found abandoned in a mall parking lot with no sign of either person.

Investigators came to suspect foul play and charged Richard and Thenia Evans in 2006 with the murders of John and Maureen. Prosecutors said the couple had been shot and dismembered, and a search of a property linked to Richard Evans turned up bone fragments and a spent shell casing. Those charges collapsed when a key witness refused to testify and were ultimately dropped.

John and Maureen’s bodies have never been found and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office still lists the case as open. Does anyone have information about John’s last known movements, the Aerostar van, or contacts in Springfield or Bolivar in February 2001?
