Mother's 48-Year Search for Abducted Baby Continues
7 Nov
Summary
- A mother is still searching for her son abducted 48 years ago.
- The baby was taken five days after birth in November 1978.
- Annual events raise awareness for missing persons cases.
An Atlanta mother's enduring search for her son, Raymond Green, continues after 48 years. Raymond was abducted from his home in November 1978, merely five days after his birth. His mother, Donna Green, still holds onto hope that he will be found and return to her.
Donna Green hosts an annual event called 'A Night of Courage: Resilience of Hope' to bring attention to her son's case and other unsolved missing person incidents. This initiative gained significant traction when the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) partnered with GSTV in 2023 to broadly publicize Raymond's disappearance.
Raymond was born on November 1, 1978. Shortly after his birth, a woman identifying herself as 'Lisa Morris' befriended Green. This woman visited Green's home and, on the day Green took a shower, Morris left with the infant. The suspect was last seen entering a brown vehicle and has not been seen since.
Given Raymond's age at the time of his disappearance, no photographs of him were available. Sketches were created based on his mother's recollections. NCMEC has since developed an age-progressed image of Raymond and a sketch of the suspected abductor. Green has submitted her DNA to ancestry websites in hopes of a breakthrough.
NCMEC believes Raymond may be alive and unaware of his true identity, citing past successful cases of kidnapped children found as adults. Anyone with information is urged to contact NCMEC or the Atlanta Police Department.
