Raymond Wayne Kohout, known as Ray, was 42 when he was last seen in the late afternoon of April 29, 2002. He was observed about 4:30 p.m. riding a blue mountain bike on the Trans-Canada Highway somewhere between Salmon Arm and Canoe. One account says he left home after a family dispute.

At disappearance he wore a white t-shirt under a dark blue Selkirk College hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, white athletic shoes, a gold wedding band and a watch. Ray is described as a 5 feet 4 inches Caucasian male, about 150 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. His bike was found between Salmon Arm and Sicamous on September 11, 2002, but he was not located.

The Salmon Arm RCMP have kept the investigation open and released an age-progressed sketch to help generate leads. If anyone remembers seeing Ray, his bike, or has information from that area on April 29, 2002, please come forward.
