I used to see her flyer hanging at the gas station on Hood Canal. My friend lived in Olympia/Shelton outskirts, and back then I used to drive alone down the canal. Very quiet picturesque road. I remember hearing about Lindsey's kidnapping while at the friends house. She said there had been a few recent disappearances down Hood Canal, women's cars parked on a dirt road or submerged partially in the water, and no woman. She worried about me and we hoped they would be found soon. That poster stayed put at that gas station until she was found. It really affected the entire Peninsula.
Fast forward to Lindsey being found on Manastash and I just happened to be going down the Canal and staying in Elma (nearby McCleary). We passed a Chevy avalanche speeding up the Canal, and shortly after there are massive LE in pursuit. I didn't know it at the time, we watched the news at our hotel later, but that Avalanche had tried to kidnap a young woman in nearby Montesano. Strange coincidence, but I'm learning that there are many reasons we become a target and opportunity is key. Watching from my hotel room, I saw two young girls follow a man behind a fence, and I got nervous. I was going to call non emergency police line, and low and behold a police car pulls in and the officer walks behind that same fence.
We live in an opportunists world.
Thanks for keeping this thread going Mysteries 1974. This mystery will be solved.
