Raymond Melvin Portee, 43, was last seen by his girlfriend on Sunday, July 22, 2018, on the Havasupai Indian Reservation in Arizona. He planned to travel to Phoenix for appointments on July 23 and 24 but never arrived and had no further contact with family in the Phoenix area.

Searchers found some of Portee’s personal items in the area where he was last seen, including his cell phone, a black beanie cap, and a red backpack. Law enforcement and search-and-rescue teams searched Main Cataract, Lee Junction, Lee Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, and Dead Horse Canyon; cadaver dogs were used but no significant leads developed. Multiple agencies, including the Truxton Canyon Agency and the Coconino County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue, took part in the effort.

The terrain is remote and rugged, and the case has gone cold with no further clues reported. If anyone was in the Havasupai area on or around July 22, 2018, or has information about Raymond’s planned travel to Phoenix, please share what is known.
