Joseph Irvin Smink, 76, went missing from West Hanover Township, Pennsylvania, on the evening of August 10, 2024. He was last seen at about 8:10 p.m. walking away from his home near Pheasant Road and Fox Hill Road, westbound along Fox Hill toward Compton Drive. Reports differ about his clothing: one account described a white t-shirt, black shorts that might have been boxer-style, and blue canvas shoes with white soles; another described a yellow shirt, black shorts, and white sneakers. Authorities said he could be at special risk and might have been confused when he disappeared.

The Pennsylvania State Police conducted searches of the area in the days after his disappearance but did not locate him. On the evening of March 12, 2026, human skeletal remains were found in woods north of Kelly Drive, not far from his last known location; the Troop H Major Case Team and the Dauphin County Coroner’s Office processed the scene and took the remains for identification and determination of cause and manner of death. Does anyone have information about Mr.

Smink’s movements on August 10, 2024, or about activity in that area afterward?
