Michael Smith was 17 when he walked out of his North Vancouver, British Columbia home on December 30, 1967, and never returned. He had been grieving a friend’s recent death and left without contacting anyone afterward. At the time he was described as 5 feet 10 inches, about 161 pounds, with long brown hair, blue eyes, a medium build and light complexion. He was last seen wearing a black suede jacket, a yellow shirt and white pants.

Investigations and public appeals were made but the trail went cold and the case remains open. Few specifics are known about where he might have been headed or what his plans were that day. If anyone knew Michael, saw him around North Vancouver in late December 1967, or has information that wasn’t reported, please come forward.
