Marvin Earl Smaw was 30 when he vanished from his Washington, North Carolina, home on October 25, 1999. His disappearance came on a stormy night in the wake of Hurricane Irene. He was described as a Black male, black hair, brown eyes, about five feet nine inches and 160 pounds.

Reports say he left his residence that Monday night with a female companion and was never seen or heard from again. The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office investigated, but the case yielded few leads and remains unsolved.

Little else is known about Marvin’s movements that night; he had a prior theft-related criminal history, though any connection to his disappearance is unknown. If anyone knew Marvin, the woman he left with, or saw him in Washington on October 25, 1999, please share what you remember.
