Raymond Wallace Perry has not been seen or heard from since he went missing from his Munising, Michigan-area residence on August 23, 2006.
His
rural home—which he shared with his wife of 65 years—is located
along the east side of Monette Road in Alger County's Munising Township.
Monette Road is a nearly-mile-long, dead-end road running north off of CR H-58, some five miles east of Munising.
Located
just west of the Miners River in the buffer zone of Pictured
Rocks National Lakeshore, the area Perry went missing in is characterized
by stands of northern hardwoods, steep slopes, and lowland areas.
He was last seen by a home health-care nurse who visited his home around noon on Tuesday, August 22.
When the nurse returned about the same time the following day, Perry's wife Myrtle indicated she thought he'd gone to the hospital.
Raymond was 85 years old at time of his disappearance.
Stricken
with Alzheimer's disease
(AD), like his wife, he suffered from poor eyesight as well as other
medical maladies that limited his mobility.
A
white male with blue eyes and short, gray hair, he is described as being
approximately 5-foot, 8-inches tall and about 140 pounds in weight.
Raymond has a medium build, a medium complexion, and no facial hair.
At the time he went missing, he was thought to be wearing a long-sleeved, plaid shirt; dark-colored blue jeans with blue, one-inch-wide suspenders; dirty white, low-cut, size 10, tennis shoes; and probably a tan or light-brown baseball cap.
He did not have his prescription glasses, wallet, watch, ring, or dentures with him when he went missing.
Raymond's
family reported him missing to the Alger
County Sheriff's Department in Munising, Michigan at 1:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, August 23.
The Sheriff's Department conducted a lengthy, search-and-rescue operation in an effort to locate Raymond.
Despite
their best efforts—including exhaustive grid searches with dozens
of foot searchers, K-9 teams, vehicles, and aerial assets—they
were unable to locate Raymond in the rugged, heavily-wooded area around
his Monette Road home.
The Alger County Sheriff's Department was assisted in their search for Raymond by Perry family members, friends, neighbors, and several area agencies:
|
•
|
Michigan Department of Corrections Emergency Response Teams (ERTs) from both the Alger Maximum Correctional Facility and Camp Cusino |
|
•
|
Eastern Upper Peninsula Search and Rescue (EUPSAR) |
|
•
|
National Park Service, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore |
|
•
|
Munising City Police Department, Munising, Michigan |
|
•
|

|
•
|
Kalkaska County Sheriff's Office K-9 Team |
|
•
|
Michigan State Police Negaunee Post K-9 Team |
|
•
|
United States Coast Guard |
The Sheriff's Department continues to investigate Perry's disappearance.
The
case "hasn't been forgotten," Deputy Sheriff Steven Blank
told the Mining Journal
(Marquette, Michigan) on August 30, 2008. "The case is still open
and we're following up on leads when we get them."
