Gordon Dale Raymond, known to family as Dale or Gord, vanished from New Westminster, British Columbia, with the last confirmed sighting on New Year’s Day 1987. He was 39 at the time, a six feet two inches white male with brown hair, false teeth, and scars from a broken hip and an appendectomy. A skilled aircraft mechanic, he had lived in Edmonton, Surrey, Vancouver and had spent time in Thailand.

His last contact with family included a plan to live out of a cream-colored 1976 Buick Century; he reportedly painted the rear windows black and may have been sleeping in the car. The previous night he had celebrated with his brother at a Vancouver hotel, dropped his brother off the following morning, then drove away and was never seen again. His disappearance was out of character and left his family searching for answers.

The New Westminster Police Department has an open investigation and has periodically appealed for information, noting they want to speak with his son, Gordon Jr. Does anyone have information about Gordon’s movements around New Year’s Day 1987 or the 1976 Buick Century?
