In the winter of 1987, a 39-year-old man named Gordon Dale Raymond, who often went by Dale or Gord, vanished from New Westminster, British Columbia, leaving behind a life and a loving family. A skilled aircraft mechanic, he had lived in various places throughout his life, including Edmonton, Surrey, and Vancouver, and had even spent time in Thailand. Standing tall at six feet two inches, Gordon was a white male with brown hair and was noted to have false teeth. He also had distinct scars from a previous broken hip and an appendectomy. In what would be his last communication with his family, Gordon mentioned a plan to live out of his cream-colored 1976 Buick Century in downtown Vancouver. He had reportedly painted the rear windows of his car black and may have been sleeping in the vehicle. The last confirmed sighting of Gordon was on New Year's Day in 1987. He had been celebrating with his brother at a hotel in Vancouver the night before. The following morning, he dropped his brother off and drove away in his Buick Century, never to be seen or heard from again. His disappearance was out of character, as he was known to stay in contact with his family. The abrupt silence that followed his departure has left his loved ones with decades of unanswered questions and a void that has never been filled. His family, particularly his sister Colleen, holds onto cherished memories, including a time he made a special effort to attend her school choir performance when their parents could not, a gesture that spoke volumes of his supportive nature. For nearly four decades, the search for answers has continued. The New Westminster Police Department has maintained an open investigation into Gordon's disappearance and has periodically issued public appeals for any information that might shed light on his whereabouts. Investigators have expressed their commitment to finding answers for his family, who have never stopped hoping for his return. Police have also made public their interest in speaking with Gordon's son, Gordon Jr., as part of their ongoing efforts. The case of Gordon Dale Raymond is a poignant story of a man who seemingly vanished without a trace, leaving behind a family that continues to hold out hope for a resolution. The passage of time has not diminished their desire for answers, and the investigation remains active, a testament to the enduring impact of his absence.
