Still Smoking was reportedly headed to visit his wife in Tulsa.

His daughter said that a hunter in northeast Oklahoma captured a photo of Still Smoking on his trail camera in Mayes County.

Mayes County officials have conducted a thorough ground and air search in the area but have been unable to find Still Smoking.

OHP officials confirmed Monday that they were en route to Mayes County with a helicopter and plane to assist in the search.

10/11/2018 Mr. Wesley Still Smoking (Stillsmoking) was reported missing. He left McCloud, OK and… - IndianCountryToday.com

Wesley Still Smoking (Stillsmoking) was reported missing. He left McLoud, OK and was on his way to Tulsa who was in a rehab facility trying to recover from her injuries received in a motor vehicle accident.

His vehicle did not have any type of GPS device nor did he have a cell phone.
McLoud PD pulled the tapes from the toll booths and did not see him in any of them. His vehicle has not been stopped, towed, or impounded. We also know that he withdrew $40.00 from his account the day he went missing and his account has not had any activity since that day.

People have been up and down the highways from McLoud to Tulsa and have not found him or his vehicle. A still shot was found on a hunter's trail cam in Mayes County near Murphy, OK. Unfortunately, the date stamp showed 10/12/18 @ 10:51 am. The hunter gave permission for an air search and ground search on his 500 acres. Again, nothing.

This one still makes me so sad. His last picture on the trail cam shows him in decent health/able to walk at that point in time, he has to be somewhere close :( I can't believe they haven't been able to find him.

Details of Disappearance
Still Smoking disappeared from McLoud, Oklahoma on October 11, 2018; he was last seen at 10:30 a.m. at the Kickapoo Casino. Apparently he tried to drive to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where his wife was staying in a physical rehabilitation center recovering from injuries sustained in a recent car accident.

He never arrived in Tulsa. He didn't have a GPS device on his vehicle, or a cellular phone, and he had only $40 in cash with him on the day of his disappearance.

Still Smoking was photographed by a trail camera in Murphy, Oklahoma at 10:51 a.m. on October 12. He has never been heard from again. His vehicle, a black 2014 Dodge Journey SUV with temporary paper license plates, was found abandoned in Mayes County, Oklahoma, south of Murphy and east of Mazie. A photo of it is posted with this case summary.

His family theorizes he got lost trying to go to Tulsa, ran out of gas, became disoriented and walked into the woods. Searches of the Murphy area turned up no indication of his whereabouts; his case remains unsolved.

The search for Wesley Still Smoking, a native of the Blackfeet Nation in Montana, has been active in the Locust Grove area since he was last seen on a trail camera near Murphy. A family representative has updated a social media page with updates from his daughter, Edith Jane.

She reportedly was informed by Mayes County Sheriff's deputies of a search planned for Monday with a team of dozens out with drones and cadaver dogs. Although DNA has yet to confirm the identity of the remains found, "nearby evidence" was said to point to Still Smoking, whose 79th birthday was coming up in June.

"Many have asked how they can help during this time, and with the circumstances such as the searches being called off or other issues, that has been difficult to answer aside from requesting continuous prayers," according to a family representative.
