Overview

In the days before Willis disappeared, law enforcement executed a search warrant at the home he shared with his girlfriend on Johnson Hill Road in Pike County. Authorities reportedly recovered a small amount of marijuana and a shotgun during that search.

During the early morning hours of July 4, 2020, Willis contacted his daughter, telling her:

“The sheriff’s raided my house, but I’ll be okay.”

That would become one of his last confirmed conversations.

Later that day, Willis was reportedly seen on Watson Road near Waverly. According to family members, he also spoke with his girlfriend and told her he was on his way home—but he never arrived.

Detailed Case Breakdown

Raymont “Frog” Earl Willis II:
The Unsolved Disappearance That Continues to Raise Questions

Raymont “Frog” Earl Willis II (also identified in some official records as Raymont Earl Willis Jr.) vanished in the early hours of July 4, 2020, near Waverly, Pike County, Ohio. More than six years later, his disappearance remains unsolved, with investigators and his family continuing to seek answers.

Willis, a 42-year-old father, was well known to family and friends by the nickname “Frog,” a name he earned as a child because of his athletic ability and gymnastics skills. According to his daughter, he could still perform multiple backflips as an adult. Family members describe him as generous, caring, and deeply devoted to those close to him.

Events Leading Up to His Disappearance

Raymont “Frog” Willis has been missing from Pike County Ohio since July 2020. He was last seen ( according to witnesses) on Watson Road where he fled into the woods on foot. He has not been seen or heard from since.

Many rumors have surfaced about Raymont’s disappearance. The one thing that is true is he has vanished off the face of the earth. He has a mother, children and family and friends that miss him and want closure. It is assumed Raymont is now deceased

To my knowledge, there has never been an official search for Raymont by the PCSO. Over the years many volunteers have searched on their own.

Someone knows something. Some where, someone knows the story. The true story.
