Buck Raymond Patterson was a 37-year-old white man from Mississippi whose public case record places him in Scott County, Mississippi, in 1992. The Mississippi Repository for Missing and Unidentified Persons lists his full name as Buck Raymond Patterson, his date of birth as July 18, 1955, and his age at disappearance as 37. The same state-linked repository identifies him as male and white, with reddish or balding hair, and gives his listed location as Morton in Scott County, Mississippi. His height is recorded by the repository as 68 inches, while MissingSippi gives a broader height range of 5 feet 7 inches to 5 feet 10 inches.
The date attached to Patterson’s disappearance is January 1, 1992, but the available public descriptions make clear that the exact circumstances are not well documented. The Mississippi Repository lists “Date Missing/Date Last Seen” as January 1, 1992, while its case-circumstances section says Patterson was last seen “sometime in 1992” in Scott County. MissingSippi uses similar language, stating that he had been missing since 1992 and that he was last seen sometime that year in Scott County. Because the public narrative is vague, the date appears to function as the official listed date rather than a detailed account of a known final confirmed sighting.
After that point, the trail becomes painfully thin. The Charley Project classifies Buck Raymond Patterson as a missing person and states that he was last seen in Scott County, Mississippi, sometime in 1992 and has never been heard from again. Its profile lists his missing-from location as Scott County, Mississippi, and records his age as 36 to 37, with a date of birth of July 18, 1955. It also describes him as a Caucasian male with brown hair, and gives his height as between 5 feet 7 inches and 5 feet 10 inches, with his weight unknown.
The lack of public detail is one of the most striking parts of Patterson’s case. There are no widely available accounts describing what he was doing before he vanished, who last saw him, whether he left home on foot or in a vehicle, what clothing he may have been wearing, or whether there were any immediate signs of distress. Public records do not offer a timeline of the hours or days surrounding his disappearance. Instead, the available entries repeat the same core facts: he was an adult man, last associated with Scott County in 1992, and the circumstances of his disappearance remain largely unknown.
The Mississippi Repository lists the Morton Police Department as the agency connected to the case and provides the agency telephone number as 732-8933. The repository status is listed as open, and its public record also notes “Report MP Obtained: No,” “NAMUS Entry: No,” “NCIC Entered: No,” and “NCIC Report: No.” MissingSippi likewise names the Morton Police Department as the investigating agency and states that Patterson is not on NamUs. These details suggest that the public-facing record is limited and that some of the tools commonly used to centralize missing-person information may not contain a public entry for him.
What remains is a quiet, unresolved disappearance marked more by absence than by answers. Buck Raymond Patterson was a man in his mid-to-late thirties, remembered in public records by his name, his age, his physical description, and his connection to Scott County, Mississippi. The known story begins with his life in Mississippi and narrows to a final listed disappearance date in 1992, but the details that might explain where he went, why he vanished, or what happened afterward have not been made public. In overview, Buck Raymond Patterson’s case is an open missing-person case from Scott County, Mississippi, with very few publicly available circumstances, a listed investigating agency of the Morton Police Department, and a record that continues to reflect the unanswered loss of a man who has not been heard from since 1992.
