<<Ferguson was driving from the Houston area to make a delivery in Dallas as a commercial truck driver when he disappeared from a truck stop off of Interstate 45 in Palmer.
“He had spent the night there because he was supposed to deliver in Dallas, but he was not able to make it because he was too tired and ran out of hours. So he pulled in there to sleep.
His wife, Rhonda Weisinger, says I woke him up that morning. He said to call him around 5 a.m. I did,” Weisinger said. “We played phone tag because he didn’t have a good signal. We tried to reach him with his hands-free headset so he could drive. We really had a hard time because he had to walk around the parking lot there at that service station to get a good signal.”
Once a connection was established, Weisinger and Ferguson talked for about 90 minutes, she said. Ferguson informed his wife during the call that “people in black SUVs were searching my vehicle,” and he had “a gut feeling that he was going to jail,” she said.
“He did tell me during that time that his phone was beeping at me. We were able to talk for 90 minutes after that and then it went dead. I haven’t heard from him since,” Weisinger said. “He kept telling me that people in black SUV’s were searching his vehicle. Just that gut feeling hit me. I don’t know how to describe it, I just knew. I kept calling his phone after the hour and half that we talked. I kept calling his phone and it kept going straight to voicemail. So I knew something was wrong.”
Ferguson did not indicate if the people searching his truck were law enforcement officers, the number of individuals searching the vehicle and the number of black SUVs that were present, Weisinger said. During the conversation, Weisinger could tell Ferguson felt distressed and was worried about the situation, she said.
After a couple of hours following the 7 a.m. phone call, Weisinger called the Palmer Police Department asking them to perform a welfare check on Ferguson, she said.
“They told me they found his truck with the window down and a half eaten banana. But none of his stuff was in there supposedly.
On Dec. 15, the man that owned the truck that he was driving, his secretary told me that Ray’s stuff was in the truck and did I want to come and get it? I told them, ‘Yes, I would be there,’” Weisinger said.
A missing persons bulletin also states his truck was found with the engine running. “Everything that Ray had was there except for his cell phone, headset, a phone charger, a carton of cigarettes and Mucinex Day and Night because he had a head cold.”
Eight days into Ferguson’s disappearance, on Dec. 11, 2013, a caller contacted the Angelina County Sheriff’s Department, according to an incident report taken by department officials.
Ferguson is from Lufkin, which is covered by Angelina County. The report stated the caller, whose name was redacted, saw a report on the local news and inquired if deputes had checked area hospitals for Ferguson. Angelina deputies checked local hospitals in the area, but did not find any sign of Ferguson, the report stated.
Ferguson had been working as a commercial truck driver starting at age 17, driving logging trucks. At the time of his disappearance, he was working for J&M Carriers who is based out of Coldsprings and was carrying coiled steel as his cargo, Weisinger said. Ferguson started working with J&M Carriers in September of 2013.
The route he was traveling on was one he regularly traveled, Weisinger said.>>
