Eric Grady Smith was a 42‑year‑old mine foreman from Cedar Bluff, Virginia, who vanished on November 8, 2013 after leaving home early to hunt on his 40‑acre property. An experienced outdoorsman and respected supervisor at the Buchanan No. 1 coal mine, he was last seen wearing camouflage clothing and carrying a .50‑caliber muzzleloader. Despite extensive searches, no trace of him or his weapon was ever found, and his disappearance remains unsolved.
