His missing information got quite a lot of media coverage, unfortunately all almost 5 months after he was last seen:

MISSING: King and Queen County Sheriff's Office searches for man missing since February
Elderly man missing from King and Queen County
13News Now - WVEC
Missing man last seen leaving New Kent County hotel in February
Missing man from New Kent Co. may be in Hampton Roads

It may not be the media's fault, as it seems that the press release might have just been release from LE.

I'm checking on Raymond but haven't found anything new. I hope he's happy and safe.

ETA - I wonder why he had to be hospitalized? Was Raymond injured/ill? Did he have medical tests run or some elective procedure performed? More details about his activities prior to going missing might help get tips from potential witnesses. MOO

Ray may be in Williamsburg where he was known to set up camp in wooded areas.

I'd like to imagine that LE or family conducted searches of these areas but I'm not finding any MSM/LE announcements saying as much.
