Shawn graduated in the summer of 1983. He was working at a restaurant in Algonac, Michigan and had plans on attending Macomb Community College in the fall. Shawn had also recently come out as gay to his mother and was learning how to become comfortable with his identity.

On the night of July 21, 1983, Shawn finished his shift at the restaurant, and had plans to go out in Detroit with his friends. Shawn and his friends went to Menjo’s, a gay bar in the city.

Shawn was last seen around closing time. Shawn, who had driven to the city in his Chevy, did not come home that night.

In September of 1992, a skull was found in the Clinton River near Harrison Township, Michigan. It was turned over to the Michigan State Police, and remained in their custody until March of 2004. They were able to match the skull to Shawn using dental records.

Still no arrests on 35 years after murder of Michigan teen Shawn Raymond
 
Did they ever find his Chevy? Hopefully LE called the Detroit impound and all other jurisdictions in the area....Or if someone driving the Chevy received a parking or traffic ticket after he was reported missing... It's sad it took that long to ID him...

Ferndale is a thriving LGBTQ area...I wonder if that was the case back in the 1980s...Someone within that community may know or heard something about this case...
