[h=3]Details of Disappearance[/h] Davis was last seen in Tacoma, Washington on November 1, 1973. Her sister came home that day and discovered she was gone. The front door was open and all her belongings were left behind.

Davis's sister later got a letter from her, sent from Anchorage, Alaska. There was no contact with her after that; she has never been heard from again. Few details are available in her case.

Tacoma has high number of missing and murdered Native American women, report says

I wonder if we can check the letter that her sister received. Maybe there can be a clue on it.

Also: time span, type of victim and close date to Ted Bundy´s killings.

Possible Robert Hansen victim?

The Charley project has her birthday as 7/20/1955 and the obit has it listed as March 25th, 1957. But it's would be interesting to try to age the photo on the Charley project profile in comparison to the obituary photo. There are some facial similarities which makes it worth looking into

Newspapers.com simple search off of the full name in the state of Washington yielded the article below, and nothing else. There was no findings for the state of Alaska. I'm not suggesting this is her, but I do believe it is worthy of a check (if not already checked before, and I make no assumptions). If someone has the ability to do so, the article is offered below. Noting that given her date of birth (in post above): the age is correct, the full name is correct, the state is correct, the distance between Tacoma and Vancouver is 137 miles/2 hrs.

I think this could be her too. FWIW Teresa was born in Caleveras Co. California. Interestingly her mother’s maiden name is the same as the other girl mentioned in the articles. I’m still a little surprised Teresa has been ruled out as being Eklutna Annie. So many things fit and the resemblance is strong IMO.
