Timeline:

20 July 1987 - New York
August 1987 (exact date not known) the car was pulled over in California; Sharon was not with the occupants.
In September 1987 the car was found abandoned in Seattle, WA.

Where does one start to look? What route would one have taken from NY to California (wish we knew where in CA) back in 1987? Could it have been a Route 66 trip gone wrong?

Sharon Pulaski attended Alden High School in New York, and probably graduated around 1981. During her time there, she was in solved in many extracurricular activities, including the science club, photography club, and poetry club. She was smiling and full of life in every photo in the yearbook. It's not surprising, because she came from a tight knit family- her parents were very involved with helping others, and we're genuinely assets to their community. I did learn that on October 7, 1983, she gave birth to a son, who she raised at her parent's home on 1369 Town Line Road. But on July 20, 1987, everything changed. She told her mother than she needed to run to the store, and would return in 15 minutes. Sharon never came home. A few weeks later, her 1985 blue Sedan with license plate # 6679-BL7 was pulled over in California - she was not one of the four occupants. While I realize at the time, the officers probably didn't know of her missing, but they must have the names of the individuals in the car- were they ever revisited and questioned? In September 1987, the vehicle was found abandoned in Seattle. Did they lift fingerprints? What happened to this young mother? She was 5'4", 130 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes, wore eyeglasses on the day of her disappearance, had a 2" scar on her right shoulder, and a tattoo of a heart on her right arm. Sharon was last seen wearing jeans, a black and white shirt, and white sneakers. There are only two exclusions for her- one has already been identified, the other was found recently. Her parent's are both deceased.
