Israel Ray Smith, 28, vanished from Wytheville, Virginia after finishing a shift at Radio Shack on the evening of March 10, 2008. He spoke with his mother and visited his brother that night and left work saying he’d see his supervisor the next day. He was last seen wearing a black leather jacket, white dress shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes.

When Israel missed his next shift and did not answer phone calls, family checks began. His green 1992 Ford Explorer remained parked at his apartment. By March 14 his mother found the vehicle unlocked with a basket of clean laundry inside; the apartment door was also unlocked. A welfare check found the lights and television on, keys on the coffee table, and a game controller plugged in on the floor. There were no signs of forced entry, no obvious theft, and no activity on his cell phone or bank accounts since he disappeared.

Family and investigators say his devotion to his young son makes a voluntary disappearance unlikely. The case remains an active, unsolved missing person investigation. Did anyone in Wytheville see Israel or his Explorer around March 10–14, 2008?
