Gerald Matthew Smith was last seen in Charleston, West Virginia, in late August 2015. He was 50 years old at the time. Known to have been living on the streets of Charleston, Gerald often stayed in familiar areas around the city. However, when he suddenly stopped being seen in the places he usually frequented — and when others who knew him hadn’t seen him either — concern quickly grew.
His disappearance was officially reported in November 2015 by his sister, who lives out of state. Despite efforts to locate him, there have been no confirmed sightings or leads that could explain what happened to Gerald.
