Shell, I am so sorry you are having such a terrible time seeking answers about and for your dear sister.
May I ask-
Was he, and/or his parents originally from the area? Did they , or do they, own land or house(s)?
What type of work did you sister do? What about him, his parents?
So they were estranged- were they still living together or separately?
Did the parents normally take her to work?
Sorry to ask so much, but would love to try to help.
Here is the article from 2000

ETA: It says they divorced in October, so I am guessing October of 1999? I don't know anything about divorce so if a person has "ran off" does that mean that a divorce is granted right away?

I wish it was under different circumstances, but I hope we can be of some help to you and your family.
Did you ever hear your sister mention Maine? In any context?
Were you familiar with her friends?
did Sherry actually work for Labor Ready, or was she being given work assignments by them? If that, do you have any recollection as to where she had most recently worked??
I see they are on 13th Ave- is that the same place as it was then?
How old are the children now? Do they ask/talk about their mom?
20, 15 & 14...They don't talk to me about their mom but the girls post on her facebook.
OK so where is this guy she was dating now? Do you know? Local? Out of state? Has he been interviewed by LE?
