Gilbert Smith, a 42-year-old man, was last heard from on July 14, 1997, in Houston, Texas. His last known contact was a phone call he made to his mother, after which he vanished without a trace. At the time of his disappearance, Smith was described as a white male, approximately 5'10" tall, weighing around 155 pounds, with brown hair. His case remains unsolved, and no significant clues have emerged about his whereabouts or the circumstances leading to his disappearance.

Law enforcement agencies, including the Texas Department of Public Safety and NamUs, continue to list Smith's case as open, hoping for new information or leads that could provide answers to his family.
