Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP22936) and 6 other sources
Jeffrey Ray Ruggles, known to friends and family as “Jeff,” was a 28‑year‑old white male who disappeared from Huntington, Cabell County, West Virginia. He was last seen on **November 26, 2005** in the Huntington area, and has not been heard from since. He stood about **6′4″**, weighed approximately **155–160 lb**, and had brown hair and blue eyes. At the time of his disappearance he sported a goatee, and had distinctive features including a mole on his chin and a long scar along his inner thigh and knee.

Despite concerns from his loved ones and a search effort that followed his vanishing, **few concrete details** about his movements or the circumstances surrounding that day have ever emerged. The Charley Project notes that he “was last seen in Huntington… on November 26, 2005” and that little additional information is available to the public.

Official case records confirm the date of last contact as November 26, 2005, via the NamUs database under case number MP22936. This federal listing corroborates his disappearance and location details, though does not provide narrative context.

His disappearance remains officially **classified as missing**, with the Huntington Police Department listed as the primary investigating agency. As of the most recent public updates, no reliable sightings, leads, or recovered evidence have been publicly disclosed.

Online community forums such as Websleuths include repostings of the known basic facts, mirroring the characteristic details: age 28, height 6′4″, weight 155 lb, facial hair, and visible scars—but no additional leads or breakthroughs are recorded there either.

In summary, **Jeffrey Ray Ruggles vanished in late November 2005 from Huntington, WV**, at age 28. He possessed easily identifiable physical traits. Despite public and private concern, the case remains unresolved with no confirmed sightings or developments made public since the initial reports. The community and law enforcement continue to have Jeffrey listed as a missing person, with no resolution yet disclosed.
