A Promising Life Interrupted
Douglas Richard Smith, born on February 21, 1945, was a 23-year-old U.S. Navy officer stationed with Patrol Squadron 19 at Moffett Field, California. Described as a Caucasian male with brown hair and blue eyes, standing 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing approximately 130 pounds, Smith was known to his friends and family as "Doug." He bore distinguishing features, including a scar on his lower abdomen, a scar on his chin, and a mole on the left side of his chin.

On November 25, 1968, Smith was last seen in Mountain View, California. He was scheduled to report for duty at Moffett Field the following day but never arrived.
