Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP10896) and 4 other sources
In the summer of 2003, a 57-year-old man named Raymond Alan Johnson vanished from the small city of Myrtle Creek, Oregon. He was last seen sometime in August in the vicinity of Wiggins Market on Old Pacific Highway. At the time of his disappearance, Raymond was experiencing homelessness and was known to be a transient individual. Though he was a resident of Reedsport, Oregon, he was known to frequent the Myrtle Creek area. Concerns grew for his welfare as time passed with no word from him, especially given that he was in very poor health when he was last seen.

Raymond Alan Johnson was a white male with graying hair and brown eyes, standing at 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing around 150 pounds. He had distinctive tattoos on both of his arms. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance remain unclear, and very few details are available in his case. His transient lifestyle has made it difficult for investigators to piece together a clear timeline of his last known movements. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is the primary agency investigating his disappearance and has had an open case since April of 2004.

Years have passed since Raymond Alan Johnson was last seen, and his case has grown cold. Despite the passage of time, law enforcement continues to list him as a missing person. The lack of new information has left his case at a standstill, a quiet but persistent question mark in the community. The overview of this case is one of quiet uncertainty; a vulnerable member of the community disappeared without a trace, and the few available details have not been enough to uncover what happened to him in August of 2003. Anyone with information regarding the disappearance of Raymond Alan Johnson is encouraged to contact the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
