In the summer of 1983, a 34-year-old man named Raymond Stubblefield disappeared while on a fishing trip in Meeker, Colorado. On July 3rd, he and a friend went to Circle Park to fish. Later, his friend was discovered near the river, heavily intoxicated and unable to provide any information about what had happened to Raymond. The events of that day remain unclear, leaving behind a mystery that has endured for decades.
The primary theory is that he may have accidentally drowned in the White River, but without any witnesses or evidence, this has never been confirmed.
At the time he went missing, Raymond was described as a white male, 5'7' tall, and weighing about 155 pounds. He had shoulder-length brown hair and green eyes. One distinguishing physical characteristic was that he had previously undergone orthopedic surgery on his left knee. The last time anyone saw him, he was wearing a light tan or beige shirt with a bull's head and the words 'Dorrei Bro's Band' printed on it, along with blue Levi's jeans. He also had on blue and gray tennis shoes with red stripes and a brown baseball cap with 'EICO' on the front.
Despite the passage of many years, Raymond Stubblefield's case remains an active missing person investigation with the Meeker Police Department. The lack of any new leads or evidence has left his family and the community without answers. The narrative of his disappearance is a somber reminder of how quickly a life can change, and the lasting impact such an event has on those left behind. The official record of his disappearance is a testament to the enduring hope that one day, new information will come to light and finally provide a resolution to the long-standing questions surrounding what happened to him.Last Seen: Jul 3, 1983
