TULSA, OKLAHOMA — The Tulsa Police Department is asking for the public’s urgent assistance in locating Raymond Kellogg, a 15-year-old autistic and non-verbal teen who was reported missing from the 12300 block of East Archer Street in Tulsa. Raymond was last seen on foot and has not returned home, prompting a widespread search across the area.
Raymond was last seen wearing a gray shirt, blue sweatpants, and is believed to be barefoot. His family and police are deeply concerned for his safety, particularly because Raymond is drawn to water—a common characteristic in some autistic individuals. Given the proximity of creeks, ponds, and other bodies of water in the area, time is of the essence.
Born on April 26, 2010, Raymond is described as a young teenager with unique needs. As a non-verbal child, he may be unable to call out or respond if someone approaches, which makes finding him especially urgent and challenging. His ability to communicate is limited, so police ask that anyone who may see him avoid sudden movements or loud noises that could frighten him and instead contact authorities immediately.
Officers have been canvassing the area where Raymond was last seen and are working closely with search-and-rescue teams, including K-9 units and drone operators. Neighbors are being encouraged to check their security cameras, backyards, sheds, garages, and any other places a child might hide or seek shelter.
In addition to officers on the ground, Tulsa Police are coordinating with other emergency services to expand the search radius. Given the rising summer temperatures and Raymond’s possible lack of shoes, concern is growing by the hour.
The community is being urged to stay alert and share Raymond’s photo and details on social media. Awareness can make a critical difference in locating him quickly. Police stress that if you see Raymond or think you might have seen him, do not approach him directly, but instead call 911 immediately or contact the Tulsa Police Department at (918) 596-9222.
His loved ones are distraught and waiting anxiously for any sign of Raymond. Every lead and tip matters.
Please help bring Raymond home safely. Share this alert, stay vigilant, and keep an eye out for a young boy in a gray shirt, blue sweatpants, and possibly no shoes. Let’s bring Raymond back to where he belongs—safe and with his family.
