He has a scar on his back and multiple tattoos on his arms, back and chest, including the word "Redneck" on his left bicep, the word "Romeo" on his right bicep, a pine tree and the name "Laura Jo" on his chest, and his last name "Smith" across his upper back. Photos of some of his tattoos are posted with this case summary.
Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Smith was last seen at the intersection of Kosciusko Road and Robin Hood Circle in his hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi on April 8, 2017. He has never been heard from again.
It's uncharacteristic of Smith to leave without warning. He disappeared just before he was supposed to enter an inpatient drug rehabilitation center; his sister had already filled out the paperwork. She believes he met with foul play and that people in the community know what happened to him. His case remains unsolved.
