Raymond Lee, 75, is being treated as a missing person after family contact with the Toutle, Washington resident stopped sometime in 2021 and remained absent by January 1, 2023. Concerned relatives asked the Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office to welfare-check Lee’s home; deputies could not locate him during initial visits. A family member later said Lee had gone on a road trip with unidentified companions and an uncertain return date, a version that conflicts with the lack of other activity.

A more thorough search of the property and surrounding area turned up no clues. All of Lee’s vehicles remained at the residence and appeared undisturbed. Investigators later noted Lee did not renew his Concealed Pistol License or his driver’s license when they expired in 2024, and no official transactions or activity have been found.

The case is defined by the gap in contact, contradictory family accounts, and no clear trail from his home. If anyone saw Raymond Lee after 2021, or knows where he might have gone, please share what you know.
