She was scheduled to drive to Halsey, Oregon for her own job at the Georgia-Pacific but never arrived. She has never been heard from again. Her boss and boyfriend reported her missing.

Six days after Dehoop's disappearance, someone found her purse and dropped it off at a Bi-mart in Eugene. He said he had found it while walking his dog. The wallet was missing.

On May 2, ten days after Dehoop's disappearance, the same person who found her purse led authorities to her white two-door 1990 Toyota Corolla SR5 with the Oregon license plate number YCH635. It was on Lorane Highway just east of Fillmore Street in south Eugene.

There was no sign of Dehoop at the scene. Her case remains unsolved.

Did they question the guy that found her purse AND car?

I thought the same thing and looked up a recent article. Turns out that was a misleading report. The guy found both the purse and vehicle at the same time and has been cleared.

20 Years Later: The Unsolved Disappearance of Wendy DeHoop Still Haunts Lane County

Twenty years later, questions still remain about the disappearance of Wendy DeHoop, who vanished without a trace in April 2005.

<<A resident in Eugene’s Friendly neighborhood, off Lorane Highway and Fillmore Street, reported finding Wendy’s vehicle and her purse outside of it. Initial reports inaccurately suggested the purse and car were found days apart. In reality, Wallace clarified, they were discovered simultaneously by the same individual, who was investigated and later cleared of any involvement.>>

<<Court records show that in 2006, a year after Wendy disappeared, Dan DeHoop filed for divorce and was awarded full custody of their son — then 12 years old — along with all marital property, including Wendy’s car and bank accounts. By 2008, custody of the child had transferred to the state, which then sought child support from Dan.>>
