A 58-year-old Fishers man has been missing since Monday evening after walking away from his apartment complex without his phone, and police say his family is worried something is seriously wrong. David Smith was last heard from around 5 p.m. on Monday, and his disappearance is being described as completely out of character for him.
According to fox59.com, Smith was last seen walking away from The Hamilton at Fishers Apartments near Hoosier Road and Hamilton Pass. The Fishers Police Department, in a Facebook post published Tuesday evening, asked the public for help locating Smith or providing any information about where he might have gone.
What Smith Was Wearing, and What He Left Behind
Police describe Smith as a 58-year-old white man standing five feet 11 inches tall and weighing 249 pounds, with dark hair, hazel eyes, a long graying goatee and dark square-framed glasses. Per the fox59.com report, he was last seen wearing black-framed glasses, black shorts, a gray T-shirt and a fanny pack.
Fishers Police believe Smith is on foot and say he had only a fanny pack with him when he left — notably, he does not have his phone, which could complicate efforts to reach or locate him. The station's report also noted he was last seen around 6 p.m. Monday, though Smith was last heard from roughly an hour earlier, at approximately 5 p.m.
Family Cites Medical Concerns
Smith's family has told police they are concerned for his welfare because of medical concerns, and they describe his disappearance as uncharacteristic of him. Those details, paired with the fact that he left without a phone, are driving the urgency behind the search.
