Q6 Cold Case: ‘A Mystery in the Mountains’
''NESPELEM, Wash. – It’s been more than 17 years since a teen vanished. The many loved ones of Casey D. Burke are hopeful someday, they will get answers.

“(My son) was awesome, he had a big heart,” his mother Veronica Gendron said. “That's what got him in trouble.”

The FBI is one of multiple agencies who have assisted with the case, saying, ‘a tremendous amount of resources’ have gone into finding out what happened. All of the efforts have unfortunately turned up nothing to concretely say what happened to the 19-year-old.

“Not a day goes by that I don't think of him,” Veronica said. “I want to put him to rest. It's just frustrating. I can't understand how someone could do something so devious and get away with it. It's like they have no heart.”

''Casey Burke was about 6’2, 180. He was strong and described as a the kind of guy who was constantly happy and smiling''.

''if you can help, reach out to the FBI or the Colville Tribal Police Department at 509.634.2490.''

Details of Disappearance
Burke was last seen at approximately 7:40 p.m. on April 14, 2003, at a video rental store in the vicinity of State Route 155 and School House Loop Road in Nespelem, Washington. Earlier that day he had an argument with his mother, then he left home and returned a few hours later with a gift he'd bought for her. He apologized for their argument and said he'd see her later. He never returned home and has never been heard from again.

After his disappearance, Burke's family received reports that he was murdered by two individuals who later confessed to the crime. According to the stories, Burke was with these two people up in the mountains on the Colville Indian Reservation and they got a flat tire. One of the others asked Burke to get a wrench to fix the tire, and when he gave them the wrong wrench, there was an altercation and two people beat Burke to death. The FBI investigated the story but were unable to confirm it.

Burke's family believes money was a possible motive for his disappearance; he had recently gotten a substantial sum of money and other people were aware of this. He left behind a young daughter. Burke may be in northern California or in the Portland, Oregon area. His case remains unsolved.
