I'm counting those.Don't forget the women who worked at the historic home on the corner, who saw him pacing in Soldiers Park across the street, while talking on a cell phone. At that time, his car was parked on Market St, in front of their museum.
My impression from witnesses and the timeline is that he spent some time there alone while waiting for the "mystery woman" to arrive.

No other missing person from the area, or that he knew.If Ray did walk away..he needed help with transportation.
Does anyone know if there was a report made of a missing woman in that area on the 15 or 16th? Could they have planned to walk away together?
According to PEF, RFG said that he was heading in the direction of Lewisburg, not that it was a destination.So this mystery woman, if true, was important enough for Ray not to return home or at least text or call Patty to say he was ok...
What would be keeping him in the Lewisburg area ? If up to "no good," why would Ray tell Patty exactly where he was headed......why not lie about your destination?
Apparently, she was not a threat at the time..he was able to be left alone with a cell phone on the 16th.
Important note is that Ray’s cell phone shows no calls made in or out after 11:12 am on 4/15. If I recollect 2005 cell phone technology correctly, when your phone was shut off or dead the only way you knew you had a missed call was if someone left a voicemail. Possible back then that he had missed calls after that but the only ones the police could trace were those with voicemail left. Ray shut his phone off sometime after calling Patty at 11:12 am but before she left him a voicemail at 6:58 pm.So this mystery woman, if true, was important enough for Ray not to return home or at least text or call Patty to say he was ok...

The call on 4/14 from LG. Note that LG tried the home phone first. That is consistent with him not using his phone.Important note is that Ray’s cell phone shows no calls made in or out after 11:12 am on 4/15.

His cell phone history in the week prior to disappearing indicate large periods with no phone calls in or out. Maybe he liked to shut his phone off a lot? Or maybe his cell phone just wasn’t used much? Work days : Monday 4/11 no calls, Tuesday 4/12 two calls, Wednesday 4/13 no calls, Thursday 4/14 one call.
Cell culture was largely different back in ‘05, especially for someone in his late 50’s who probably just started using a cell phone within the previous several years. It just wasn’t a big fixture for someone like him. Still, you’d think the days he wasn’t in the office and was out driving around he would have had at least a few incoming calls from co workers, LE, etc that couldn’t reach him in the office? My bet is his phone was shut off most of the time that week. Would be extremely interesting too see what the cell records looked like over the months prior and determine if there are any trends.
Something I found interesting on that topic. Seems strange that Lara would call him at home around 10:00 AM on a weekday. She would obviously know that he should normally be at work at 10:00 on a weekday. Hypothetically, maybe she tried his office first, found out he wasn't there, tried the home landline, no answer, then called the cell last. Alternately, she knew in advance he wasn't planning to be at work at that time and started with the landline.The call on 4/14 from LG. Note that LG tried the home phone first.

When I needed to be on call in the early 2000's, my phone was on when I was away from home, but I used a landline for the house. RFG had landlines at the house and office.
First, it is three hours earlier where she was.Something I found interesting on that topic. Seems strange that Lara would call him at home around 10:00 AM on a weekday.

No, they just use it in cycle. The family was not overly pleased with it.If so, it's interesting they want to run the episode again. Maybe family is hoping someone will come forward with information. Judging from the history of the case, it seems unlikely the investigators are interested.
JMO, my impression is LE isn't really interested in pursuing the case any longer.
I think the line in Lewisburg itself does not connect up. No train yard.seems like there are some freight train lines that run near there or even through Lewisburg...anyone know? is there a train yard there? mOO
interesting..I was hoping for a train yard...but there could be a switch area where someone could hop a train out of the area. I know it's far out but just thinking of ways out, how a person might vanish without a trail.I think the line in Lewisburg itself does not connect up. No train yard.
On the other side of the river there is a freight line that does connect up with Conrail at Harrisburg.
