Raymond Charles Reed, 83, disappeared from the Interlochen area of Grand Traverse County, Michigan on July 1, 2001. He was last seen between 11:30 AM and 12:00 PM walking north on the west side of Gonder Road, about 100 yards south of the access road to Cedar Hedge Lake. A passerby reported he looked very fatigued. He was wearing brown pants and a light-colored, short-sleeved, button-up shirt and was not carrying anything; he left no note or indication of plans.

An extensive search of the area turned up no trace. A possible sighting on July 18, 2001 did not produce a lead, and the family provided DNA from his son and daughter for national entry. Raymond is described as white, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 7 inches, 145 to 153 pounds, with gray or partially gray hair and brown eyes. The Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Department lists the case as open and unsolved.

If anyone saw Raymond on July 1, 2001, or recalls unusual activity near Gonder Road or Cedar Hedge Lake that day, please share what was observed.
