Police fear missing physician in danger
Sean Dugas • sdugas@pnj.com • July 10, 2008

Dr. Kirk M. Smith, 67, of Pensacola was last seen about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Smith — a longtime fixture on the "Doctor Make Me Beautiful" show — canceled all his upcoming appointments on Monday.

He also told his secretary that this week would be her last week of work.

"Based on his actions just prior to his disappearance, we believe he may be in danger," Pensacola Assistant Police Chief Chip Simmons said. "Some comments he made indicated an ending of some kind."

Police believe Smith, who lives in the 4400 block of Devereux Drive off Scenic Highway, left his home on foot because he left behind his keys and cell phone.

The Escambia County sheriff's helicopter assisted in the search about 1 p.m. Wednesday in an area off Scenic Highway but did not locate Smith, Simmons said.

Smith is described as a white male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, weighing about 180 pounds. He has gray hair and hazel eyes.

Bob Burk, general manager of BLAB-TV, said he was baffled by Smith's disappearance.

"He was always upbeat as long as I've known him," Burk said. "He was the nicest, soft-spoken man that you'd ever hope to meet."

Anyone with information about Smith's whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Rebekah Gardner at 435-1980 or the Pensacola Police Department at 435-1900.

[ReddCurrlz]

Yeah - that was front page this morning, and last evening. He's done wonders on the ladies around here but maybe he just got burnt out. It happens to everyone. Unfortunately, it sounds like a suicide to me.

[Faith]

I read on pnj.com, the comments section, something about a divorce. Maybe he needed to get away. I hope he is safe.

[ReddCurrlz]

Yes unfortunately he is in a divorce from what I see on public records. It also appears as though he's had money problems for some time, despite his prominence as a plastic surgeon. He's had a couple malpractice suits here in Pensacola and some civil indebtedness and a foreclosure. Life's rough sometimes but damn, just make lemonade out of the lemons.

"We want to get the word out in hopes that someone can provide us additional information," Simmons said.

Good news. I was so afraid he might have gone off and committed suicide. I'm glad this family's torment is over.

[ReddCurrlz]

[Quelfemme]

Im glad he made contact with the authorities, but there are still responsibilities he has to abide with. I am frustrated that he did this when there is so many things he left open and unfinished.:groan:
