Eugene Laverne Hindman
Case Classification: Endangered Missing/Suspected Homicide
Missing Since: September 27, 1985
Location Last Seen: Dryden, Chelan County, Washington
Description:
Eugene Hindman and his wife Sharon Elaine Hindman (NamUs #MP76173) were last seen in Dryden, Washington on September 27, 1985. They have never been heard from again.
At the time of their disappearance, the Hindman's both worked for Independent Fruit packing apples in the Wenatchee Valley. They were reported missing by a friend and co-worker when they failed to show up at work for two days and didn't pick up their paychecks.
Their red convertible was found abandoned behind the Big Y Café and former Exxon gas station. Blood was found in a sink at the station.
When detectives went to Eugene and Sharon's mobile home, they found blood splattered on the walls and floor, leading the detectives to believe the couple had probably been shot as they entered their home. Everything they owned was left behind.
The mobile home and car had been wiped down to remove fingerprints. It's speculated that the couple's car was used to transport their bodies before it was abandoned at the station. Mud and grass found under the car led detectives to believe the bodies may have been placed in an orchard in the Dryden area.
Days before the couple's disappearance, the Hindman's had accused their landlord of stealing one of their pigs, prompting them to file a restraining order against him. In 1994, the landlord broke into a trailer on his property and shot the tenant in the face. The tenant survived and the landlord was convicted of attempted murder.
Eugene and Sharon's remains have never been found. Foul play is suspected in their case.
