This individual has now been missing for about 36 years as of the original publication date of this blog post.

I did not find any original news coverage associated with this disappearance using Newspapers.com. However, if you have a membership it may be worth looking at from time to time as they continually add new publications.

There was a news piece published on Youtube by mainstream media in mid-2021 in two parts. I have embedded those below for my readers.





A Facebook group dedicated to finding this missing person had the following description as of time of publication:

"My biological mother disappeared over 30 years ago (1985) from Salt Lake City, Utah. Her name is Vickie Annette Smock (maiden name) her birthday is April 12, 1960. I really don't have much identifying information about her. She was born in California and her father's Name is Shonnie Smock. Her Last known whereabouts were at the greyhound bus station in Salt Lake. She was dropped off by my grandfather with an unknown man. She was supposed to go to Wendover Nevada to work as a cocktail waitress at The Red Guarder and hasn't been seen since. It was very unusual for her to leave and never came back. My sister and I both lived with our fathers at the time of her disappearance. I am not sure if she is dead or alive. I have tried everything that I can think of to try to find her and have had no luck.
Her mother: Arlene Huff

The episodes tell of the missing person's case of Dario Cicolecchia, a boy in Switzerland who went missing in 1993.
