Gerald Edward Smith, 66, vanished from the Whitemouth, Manitoba area after he was last seen on July 5, 2021. He reportedly set out alone on a fishing trip, a familiar activity for him, and did not return. Family members said he had been feeling discouraged after a recent medical diagnosis before he disappeared.

Gerald is described as a Caucasian male, 6 feet 6 inches tall, about 185 pounds, with long greying brown hair and blue eyes. Distinctive features include a partially amputated right ring finger and metal pins and plates in his right elbow. The Falcon Beach RCMP opened a missing person case; despite initial searches and sharing through missing persons networks, no confirmed sightings or belongings have turned up.

Anyone who knew Gerald, saw him around July 5, 2021, or has information about his fishing plans that day is asked to come forward.
