Cameron Ray Buffington
Justice for Cameron Ray Buffington — the trail went cold in 2026, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
Why did Cameron order an Uber to the 51st/Avalon area specifically? Did he have contacts or destinations there?
Did the Uber driver complete the trip? What was the exact drop-off location and did the driver observe Cameron's condition?
Given Cameron's history as a chronic runaway, what distinguishes this disappearance as potentially dangerous versus typical behavior?
