Shelby Raistlin Wright, 14, disappeared from the Snohomish, Washington area in late July 2004. He was last seen on July 26, 2004; the last confirmed contact came the next day when a police officer gave him a ride to his mother’s home and his mother later saw him on his scooter. Shelby had been staying with his uncle in Machias that summer while helping care for a great-grandmother and attending summer school. He was described as technically skilled, often building cameras and computers, and his laptop was among the few items reported missing after he vanished.

Shelby’s scooter was later found on the property of a close family friend, Rob Wolf, and searches were carried out at Wolf’s property and at the uncle’s home. The case was initially treated as a runaway but was reclassified as an endangered missing person; investigators publicly state they suspect foul play. Wolf and his girlfriend died in the years after Shelby’s disappearance. The Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office continues to list the case as active.

Are there details about Shelby’s movements in late July 2004 or anyone who saw him on his scooter that could help investigators?
