The parents of a deceased Penhold teen are offering a $10,000 reward for information regarding their son’s death.
The body of Logan Raymond was found on the southbound side of highway 2A at around 1:30 a.m. on the morning of August 12.
Red Deer RCMP have been working to piece together a timeline of the events that lead up to his death but have been unable to determine if Logan was struck by a vehicle or part of a vehicle or possibly fell from one.
Tammy and Kimbal Raymond, Logan’s parents, repeated their plea to the public to come forward with any information they might have that could help solve the mystery of Logan’s death during a press conference last Thursday.
“We know we can never bring our son back but please if you have the information come forward and do the right thing so that our family can find some closure and begin to heal,” said Tammy Raymond.
This is the first time in it’s history that the Central Alberta Crime Stoppers will be partnering with a private citizen to offer a higher reward for information, said a press release from Crime Stoppers.
“Normally, the maximum amount Central Alberta Crime Stoppers gives for tips on any crime is $2,000,” said Buck Buchanan, chair of Central Alberta Crime Stoppers.
“However, an agreement we have with the Raymond family allows us to offer a reward of $10,000 for information on Logan’s death. We are confident that the more attention the case gets, the more likely someone will remember something, and submit a tip to police or Crime Stoppers.”
Logan’s family came forward to the public once more back in September asking people to come forward with information and since then a few tips have come in but nothing that is really solid, said Buchanan, after the press conference.
Logan was last seen at around 12:15 a.m. on August 12 walking southbound on Taylor Drive in the right hand lane and at the time he was wearing a brown hoodie, blue jeans and black shoes.
Logan died from head trauma, and his body was found in an area directly west of the Word of Life Church where a small roadside memorial now sits.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Red Deer Rural RCMP at 403-343-5591 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
