- Details of Disappearance:
- In 1988, Marine Corporal Raney was training in Millington, Tennessee. He disappeared on December 19th after visiting the trailer home of an exotic dancer he was dating. Her boyfriend invited Raney inside, and Raney was never seen again.
Days later, Raney’s car was found with bloodstains—the same blood type as Raney’s, though DNA testing couldn’t confirm it back then. The boyfriend had some of Raney’s stuff (scuba gear, boots, watch) and gave the dancer gifts Raney had bought.
Police thought the boyfriend killed Raney and were about to charge him in 2005, but he died of cancer. He’s still considered the main suspect. Even though the Marines list Raney as a deserter, investigators believe he was murdered and buried near Millington. The case remains unsolved.
