Thirty-one-year-old Billy Smolinski was making plans for the future. He was working, spending time with friends and family, and navigating changes in his personal life. According to those closest to him, he wasn't a man preparing to disappear. Yet sometime after telling a neighbor he would be away for a few days to check out a car he wanted to buy, Billy vanished without a trace. His truck was left behind. His wallet was left behind.
