Jerry Ray Shanafelt, a 54-year-old man from Riverton, Wyoming, was last seen on either October 27 or November 4, 2004, depending on different reports. At the time of his disappearance, Shanafelt had significant physical challenges, including cerebral palsy, which affected his mobility and caused him to walk with a limp on his right side, with his right hand hanging crippled at his side. He also had a large scar on his stomach and was missing part of his middle finger on his left hand.
Despite extensive efforts, very little information about his whereabouts has emerged over the years. Shanafelt was last seen wearing a blue flannel shirt, faded blue jeans, and a denim-lined jacket. His case has remained cold, with no significant developments or leads, leaving his family and the community with unanswered questions.
Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information about Shanafelt's disappearance to come forward. His case is still listed in the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation’s missing persons database, highlighting the ongoing search for answers.Last Seen: Nov 4, 2004
