Summer Marie Smith was 27 years old when she was last seen in Portsmouth, Virginia, on April 14, 2022. She was later classified as an endangered missing woman, marking the beginning of a disappearance for which very few circumstances have been released publicly. Available records do not identify the specific address, neighborhood, or establishment where Summer was last observed, nor do they describe who last saw her or what she was doing at the time. There is also no publicly documented account of the clothing she was wearing, whether she was traveling on foot or in a vehicle, or whether she had discussed any plans before she vanished. What is known is that after that day, Summer was not heard from again, leaving those concerned about her with no publicly disclosed explanation for where she might have gone.
Summer was described as a white female standing approximately 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighing about 100 pounds. She had blonde hair and green eyes. Authorities considered her endangered because of her health and because she required medication for reasons that have not been publicly specified. The nature of her medical condition, the medication she needed, and the possible consequences of going without it were not released. That lack of detail preserves her medical privacy but also leaves the public with only a limited understanding of the urgency surrounding her disappearance. Her small physical build and dependence on medication added to concerns for her safety, particularly as days passed without any confirmed communication from her.
The disappearance appears to have produced few publicly reported clues. There is no widely available information describing a confirmed sighting after April 14, the discovery of personal belongings, activity involving her telephone or financial accounts, or a vehicle connected to her movements. Public records also do not identify any person of interest or indicate that authorities have determined whether Summer disappeared voluntarily, suffered a medical emergency, encountered an accident, or became the victim of another person. These possibilities should not be treated as conclusions; they simply demonstrate how much remains unknown. In a case with such limited information, even a seemingly minor recollection from someone who encountered her shortly before she disappeared could help investigators reconstruct her final known movements.
The Portsmouth Police Department is the investigating agency, and information about Summer’s whereabouts may be provided to the department at 757-393-8814. Anyone who knew her, communicated with her, saw her in Portsmouth around the time she disappeared, or possesses records that could establish where she went is encouraged to contact investigators rather than assume that someone else has already reported the same information. The passage of time can make memories less precise, but photographs, saved messages, call histories, receipts, social-media exchanges, and other dated records may still help clarify events. Summer’s case remains a deeply troubling disappearance centered on a 27-year-old woman who was last seen in Portsmouth on April 14, 2022, required medication because of an undisclosed health concern, and then vanished without any publicly reported explanation or confirmed subsequent contact.
