    Bulletin
    IMPORTANT
    Mr. Smith's body was discovered in the northwest side of Gordon County, between Sugar Valley and Hill City, Georgia. Both Communities are located on the border of John's Mountain Wildlife Management Area, which is within the Chattahoochee National Forest. Missing NPF is listing this case due to Mr. Smith's body being found in close proximity to a Federally-managed land. Few sources reported that Mr. Smith's body was found nude, and his clothes were not located near his body, and they remain missing. Missing NPF is currently working on verifying this information, and will update this case accordingly.
    Initial Report

    According to source,

    The death of a Chatsworth man whose body was found in Gordon County earlier this year has been ruled "an accidental death as a result of methamphetamine intoxication" following a toxicology report by the state crime lab, according to Gordon County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Robert Paris.

    The body of Caleb Nathaniel Smith, 21, was found on February 2, 2020 by a person in a "poorly drained, heavily overgrown area," between the Sugar Valley and Hill City communities, according to a February press release from the Gordon County Sheriff's Office.

    Family members reported Smith missing to the sheriff's office on January 16, 2020 after his automobile and personal items were found at a truck stop in Resaca. That press release said the "autopsy revealed no indications of violence or evidence of foul play" and investigators were awaiting the toxicology report.

      I think trafficking is an issue. I think someone stripped him and drugged him. Maybe too much and he OD’d. It’s too coincidental to Keeslyn and finding clothes. Someone at that store may be part of it. I have been watching this case close and it’s too coincidental.

      hello
      I have a YouTube channel and I bring awareness to missing people and unresolved cases. I would love to help you get media action to your son and his case. Keeslyn Roberts family friend reached out to me and i do believe there is a lot connected and that this was not just a drug overdose and that the police failed both of your families. i don’t believe your son or their daughter was just a drug user or that they just started acting odd.
      i only mean to help..

      Thank you for sharing information about my son Caleb Smith. His story deserves to be heard. Too many conflicting details about his disappearance and death and not enough help from local police to properly investigate his death. They were too quick to rule as a self afflicted, “Drug overdose.”
