Raymond T. Begay, a 41-year-old Native American man, was last seen on August 13, 2005, at the Navajo Shopping Center in Gamerco, New Mexico. He was reportedly seen by his common-law wife at 9:14 a.m. and has not been heard from since. Few details have emerged about the circumstances surrounding his disappearance, and his case remains unsolved.
Raymond was described as 5'4" tall, weighing approximately 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He had several distinctive tattoos, including rabbit ears on his lower right calf, a peacock on his left forearm, and two hearts on his right forearm. His right pinky finger was permanently bent and unable to straighten.
Despite efforts by law enforcement, no significant leads have surfaced, and Raymond's whereabouts remain unknown.
The McKinley County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate, urging anyone with information to come forward. Raymond’s case highlights the broader challenges facing missing Indigenous persons cases, where resolution often remains elusive despite ongoing investigations.Last Seen: Aug 13, 2005
