Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP69) and 8 other sources
Raymond Dale Harris, 20 years old, was last seen on November 26, 1971, in Omaha, Nebraska. On that day, he and his wife of one month, Mary Sudac Harris, left their home in Omaha, where they lived with Raymond’s father. The couple told family members they were heading to Des Moines, Iowa, to stay with Raymond’s sister. However, they never arrived at their destination, and neither has been seen since.

Raymond's car, a green four-door 1970s Chevrolet, also disappeared with them. There were reports of heavy snow the night they vanished, but searches of the roads found no trace of an accident or the couple. Over two decades later, in 1993, Raymond's sister was contacted by Mary’s family, asking about Raymond's whereabouts, raising suspicions about what might have happened.

At the time of his disappearance, Raymond had distinguishing tattoos, including one of a dagger and snake on his forearm, and a scar over his right eye. He also had a lazy left eye and facial scarring from chickenpox. While no evidence of foul play has been uncovered, the couple's sudden disappearance remains unexplained, and the case is still unsolved.
