Long-Missing Teen Who Returned Home Is Missing Again

HENDERSON — An East Texas teenager who was missing for seven months in 2015 has left home again. According to KETK, the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office says Paiglynn Raymond left her home Monday and has not been seen or heard from since. The teenager left home in April 2015 after being dropped off at Sabine High School. Investigators with the Gregg County Sheriff’s Office said she left the campus, was picked up by a truck driver, and was dropped off at a bus station near Dallas. She reunited with her family around Thanksgiving.

Paiglynn’s father, Chris Raymond, says he believes he knows where she is going. “She did leave a note and explanation,” Mr. Raymond said. “It helps that I know she left on her own without all the questions. She even stated an area she was going. Please pray for her safety and for our family to deal with the hurt and loss.”

Mr. Raymond says he thinks his daughter is in the Dallas, Plano or Sherman area. He doesn’t know for sure, but speculates she’s with her 22-year-old boyfriend he wouldn’t allow her to be alone with. “I feel if I pressure hard this time, she may not return at all,” Mr. Raymond said.
