I wonder who would have been around at that time. So far we can mark off Warren Forrest and Ted Bundy from the list. But to me, Green River Killer Gary Ridgeway still seems plausible to me. But who else could have been around?
Maybe they’re talking about later May. Schools were different on getting out back then. It honestly depended on where you went.If Sandy and her father were living in a trailer in Amboy in May 1977, she most certainly was not attending Wilson HS in Portland. So, had they just moved up there (perhaps it was a "summer" house for them?) after Sandy finished the school year at Wilson? Or had she left Wilson before the school year was out? Was she moving schools again, dropping out, or just planning to spend the summer in Amboy?
School got out in June in Clark county schools, but it's possible that Portland schools were on a different schedule....
I recently profiled the WCJD case (you can find my profile in her thread), and I think this case would get wonders with profiling. So what did I learn from this case, here is what I believe our suspect was like:
- Sandy’s killer was likely very organized, but had some disorganized traits. This would probably mean he had some discipline as a child, but not a lot of it.
- It cannot be ruled out her killer was female, but it was most likely male.
- Sandy’s killer is what is considered a “Power/Control Killer”, whom tend to kill to control power over the victims
- Sandy’s killer was likely geographically dispersed at the time, indicating she died closer to the scene, but was dumped there
- I suspect her killer was a local based on the fact that Sandy was found in a region which seems to be harder to find, as she was dumped alongside the road, contrary to what has been said. I’ll show this picture of where she was found (provided by Koin6)View attachment 225393
Was that photo an original crime scene photo?

Im gonna guess Sandy lives in a trailer park.Right. I should have said my comment differently-- What I meant was that she was not living in Amboy and commuting to Wilson HS. So I was wondering if the school year had already ended, had she left school early that year (sounds odd, but trust me, I work in a high school and you wouldn't believe how many do this)...
At any rate, I'm thinking they probably weren't living there in the trailer for very long. So how many people were aware of this trailer, and that people were living there--- especially a girl by herself?? Neighbor? Family friend/ coworker of dad's? Friend of Sandy's?
I believe there are important clues in the ownership and timeline of them living in this trailer. Do we know the location of it?

Details of Disappearance
Grisim was last seen on the morning of December 7, 1971, as she left her residence in the vicinity of the 5300 block of northeast 58th Street for the day's classes at Fort Vancouver High School in Vancouver, Washington. She was wearing blue hip-hugger jeans, a red and white striped blouse with a round neckline and puffed sleeves, white tennis shoes with drawings and the words "peace" and "love" written on them, and possibly a long brown corduroy coat and long, dangling earrings. She has never been heard from again. Grisim's purse, identification, and other possessions were found in May 1972, five months after her disappearance, in a wooded area alongside a road in the Dole Valley area of Northern Clark County, northeast of Vancouver.
Grisim is believed to be the first victim of a possible serial killer, who is thought to have raped and killed at least six young women in the Vancouver area. He was convicted of murdering one woman in 1978 and received a life sentence in prison. The bodies of five other women who are believed to be his victims have been recovered in rural Clark County, two of them not far from where Grisim's possessions were found.
The individual has not been charged in connection with Grisim's case, however, or in any of the other murders attributed to him. She remains missing and foul play is suspected in her case.
I was unable to find any information (just on a quick google search) on Cherie Wyant.
