In this episode, we investigate the mysterious disappearance of Israel Ray Smith, a 28-year-old father from Wytheville, Virginia, who vanished on March 10, 2008. Last seen leaving his Radio Shack shift, his Ford Explorer was found unlocked outside his apartment, keys and laundry inside. Police discovered his door ajar, TV on, and game controller out—unusual for the tidy Israel. His phone and bank account remain untouched, and a possible gas station sighting the next night is unconfirmed. The Wytheville Police call it their most puzzling case. Join us to unravel what happened to Israel.
