There isn't much on him on the net. I hope he's OK.

With a common name like that, it could be tough to find much online. Raymond looks very rural. It sounds like he went to visit a friend on Saturday. The car was found early Monday. I'm thinking that sounds like an abandoned vehicle. Perhaps it broke down and he just left it.

Well, a body was found on Owens Road in Terry. This is just a few miles south of where his car was found and about midway between where he was going to meet his "friend." The body was found under a bridge, the story says. But I looked closely at that road in Google Maps. The closest thing to a bridge is a spot at about 2698 Owens Road. I guess you could call it a bridge. It's really only a car length long and probably no more than five feet above area it passes over. It looks like the road just passes over a low spot where water may run off under the road during rainy times. I don't know if it's Robert. But it may be. The story says they are checking to see if it's a missing person from Jackson.

At 3077 Owens Road, there is a slightly wider expanse of road over a low area. This seems like the more likely spot since the story refers to it being close to Springridge Road. No matter which spot it is, this is not the kind of place where someone might jump. The body must have been placed there.

Grisham-Stewart's preliminary on-scene examination determined the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest. Williams' death is being considered a homicide, she told the Clarion Ledger.
