A couple other comments. I know there is pretty good cell reception near Lake Quinault (Verizon), but once you get back up into the mountains, like where Graves Creek Trailhead is, I think you are out of range. Reception in the valleys is definitely worse than when you are up on a ridge or...

I have spent a lot of time in the Quinault area, backpacking and hiking as well as for work. I was actually working in the woods in that area for a couple of days early this past week. I have backpacked on a number of trails in the area, as well as off-trail hikes, though one of the few trails I...

Not a local, but I spend plenty of time in that area for work and recreating. My guess would be there is no actual connection to Neilton itself. Neilton just happens to be the closest community with a name to where her car was found, so that is why they mentioned it. It is a very, very small...

I looked into free options for hosting a database online...and I did not find any that offered the flexibility that I think this project would need. I am most comfortable working in Microsoft Access, and I could make a database that was pretty user-friendly in Access (i.e., no experience...

I have looked around WS and done some googling, but I have yet to find a database of missing persons or UID databases and lists. The closest thing I found was the state-by-state lists here on WS and lists of links on other websites. I assume there are many people out there with their own...

Well, I can't believe I never thought of this before, but as someone who is very familiar with that stretch of the river I can say that Melton Hill Park, just a little upstream, could be a likely spot where she went in the river. LE speculated that that she had only gone in the water about a...

I grew up very close to this location and swam in this river at a nearby park (just around the bend from where the UID was found) almost every week during the summer as a kid. The river is generally very, very slow moving, although there are a few places where it is faster, such as the stretches...

I am also surprised there was no match yet. This area has certainly had its share of disappearances and disturbing crimes, but this one still stands out. If the UID was someone from out of the area or a transient, answers could take quite a while...

Wow, I live and work very close to here. Yelm Hwy (510) is the main road near where the search was conducted. I would characterize it as a very busy two-lane road. Just south of the smaller road (Church Kalama Dr/Peter Kalama Dr) is part of the network of dirt roads associated with the military...

My first thought was that it was a burial by a family who could not afford a proper burial and casket. Then, why would they have chosen that particular cemetery? I would guess either because it was convenient (close to where they lived) or because other family members had been buried there...

Samantha Sue Hicks is mentioned in that article. Photo I downloaded the photo and zoomed way in. It is hard to tell, given the resolution of the photo, if SH's teeth are similar to the UID dental photo that Carl posted above. However, I would say it is a definite possibility. You can see...

I don't have a lot to add to what has already been said on this thread, however I agree strongly with several people who have cited mental illness as the possible reason for the disappearance. I will just say this: The things Brian said (in the episode of Disappeared) shortly before his...

Saw a video on youtube of Rebel Rock. This would be about a mile from where the body was found. Only relevant in that it gives you an idea of the landscape if you have never been to that part of the country. I hiked to a number of similar rocks in TN and KY, located on the tops of small...

Here is a link to the google view of the area described, roughly a mile N of 2010. http://goo.gl/maps/nFKBj ETA: What strikes me is how quickly the body was found. The area was so remote and she was 50 ft from the road. Maybe there was a pullout, or a particularly scenic spot that led to not...

When thinking about motives for possible walkaway, in my mind I always assumed any financial motive would have been secondary to another, unknown, reason or reasons for doing it. I also don't think a walkaway would have been motivated by fear of reprisal for some past conviction, etc. Perhaps it...
