Rayford Eugene Reed III, known as Ray, was last seen in Sequim, Washington, on the night of March 7, 2023, at age 14. Reports of his final movements conflict: some say he was picked up from his residence around 11 p.m., one account says a friend picked him up and he later accepted a ride from an unidentified female, while his mother believes he sneaked out that night. No contact has been made since.

Rayford is described as 6 feet tall, 170 pounds, with brown eyes and black, shoulder-length thick curly hair with an undercut, a thin mustache, and a small freckle on his lower lip. The Clallam County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation, which family members say has since gone cold. His mother, Jami Breeding, has expressed concerns that a 2021 state law limiting questioning of minors without counsel may have affected investigators’ ability to interview local teens.

There have been unconfirmed sightings in Vancouver and possible leads toward the Seattle area. A $20,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to his location. If anyone has information about Rayford’s whereabouts or saw him the night of March 7, please come forward.
