<strong>Missing:</strong> January 1, 1963 from <em>Thurston County, Washington</em><br />
<strong>DOB:</strong> December 23, 1929 <strong>Age:</strong> 33 <br />
<strong>Race:</strong> Caucasian <strong>Sex:</strong> Male <strong>Height:</strong> 5'10 <strong>Weight:</strong> 160 lbs <strong>Hair:</strong> Brown<br />
<br />
Christopher H Bridgeman Jr was last seen January 1, 1963 at The Barrett Motel on Martins Way East. He was there on a visitation with his six-year-old son. He left the child alone in the motel saying that he had to go see his father. He never returned and two days later the hotel manager took the child to his uncle's house.<br />
<br />
Bridgeman was a country singer/guitarist who was known to travel along the west coast and had a hit song that played on the local radio. His children originally assumed their father abandoned them to pursue a music career, however it is no longer believed that he left of his own accord. The Social Security Administration reports that Bridgeman has had no earnings since 1963. There has also been no contact with his loved ones.<br />
<br />
Some family members believe that his Christopher Bridgeman Sr. may be responsible for his son's disappearance. He was known to have a bad temper and may have been suffering from psychological problems. He told family members that he filed a missing persons report, but there is no record one was ever filed until decades after his disappearance. Bridgeman's drivers license was also discovered with his fathers belongings, which raised further suspicion. The family believes his father killed him and buried him in the basement.<br />
<br />
Investigators searched the basement in 2005, but turned up only animal bones. They stated that the home is now too unstable for further investigation. <br />
<br />
No one has been charged in the disappearance of Christopher Bridgeman Jr. and his case remains unsolved. Foul play is suspected. <br />

</div><div align="left"><strong>Circumstances of disappearance:</strong></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Nikole's mother, Susan Klingel, was killed in a car accident over Labor Day weekend in 1977. Her father, Jarrett Betterson was driving. Nikole and Jarrett were also in the accident, but were not seriously injured. Marijuana was found in the vehicle and there was talk of charging Jarrett with vehicular homicide. However, the investigation was sloppy and charges were never brought.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Susan and Jarrett were never married and a short time after Susan's death, Jarrett began dating a woman named Barbara.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Jarrett, Barbara and Nikole visited with the Klingel family around Christmas in 1977. The Kilingel's were told that Jarrett and Barbara were moving out west to start a new life. They never told the Klingels exactly where they were going, but they told friends they were moving to Las Vegas and others said they were going to California. They took Nikole away with them and the kilingels never heard from them again.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">After 20 years, the Klingels hired a private investigator and began searching for Nikole. The investigator located Jarrett and Barbara, who were now married and living in Las Vegas. The couple were reportedly living in poverty and poor health and there was no sign of Nikole. The private investigator notified authorities and the case landed on the desk of Jeff Rosgen of the Las Vegas Police department.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">After searching through records, Rosgen was unable to find any evidence that Nikole ever arrived in Las Vegas with Jarrett and Barbara. The only records were her Social Security Orphan's benefits, which were picked up monthly by her father until the day Nikole turned 18.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Unable to find any information on Nikole's fate, Detective Rosgen went to visit the Bettersons. Bluffing, he told Jarrett that he knew what happened to Nikole and promised him leniency if he would give them the full story. Jarrett agreed to set up a meeting with the Police Department to discuss Nikole within a week. A few days later, Jarrett contacte the detective and asked for more time. it was the last contact they had with Jarrett Betterson.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Joni Betterson, Jarrett's mother, recieved a letter from Barbara in the days following. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">It read:</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">"By the time you get this we should be dead," Barbara wrote. "Jarrett is about to go to jail and I don't want to live without him. I'm sorry about living apart from our family. I'm sorry about so many things. We've had a sad and difficult life." </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Enclosed with the letter was a money order for $900 to pay for the cremation. There was no mention in the letter about the fate of Nikole, who would have been 22 years old at the time.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"> "We had hoped our troubles would never touch our families so we kept to ourselves," Barbara said in her final letter to Jarrett's mother. "We've tried to follow God. Now it's about time for him to judge us." </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Their bodies weren't discovered for three weeks. There were several eviction notices affixed to their door for non-payment of rent. Jarrett had shot his wife in the chest and placed a bible and red rose on her chest, then went into an adjoining bedroom, wrapped himself in a blanket and shot himself.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"> "Go to your Bibles to see peace," she wrote, "and please forgive us for all the wounds we have put in your hearts with our tragic and youthful blunders."</div><div align="left">The suicide of Jarrett Betterson stalled the investigation into Nikole's disappearance. The police had no evidence that a crime had been committed without Jarrett's information. Her case remains unsolved, but foul play is suspected.</div><div align="left"><br />

<strong>Vital Stats:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Race:</strong> Caucasian <strong>Sex:</strong> Female <strong>Age:</strong> 17 years <strong>DOB:</strong> 13 May 1957 <br />
<strong>Height:</strong> 5'0 <strong>Weight:</strong> 110 lbs<br />
<strong>Hair:</strong> Blonde <strong>Eyes:</strong> Blue *Laurie has a mole on her right cheek<br />
<br />
<strong>Clothing:</strong> Long navy blue hooded coat; a tan v-neck sweater; tan plaid pants; faded blue oxford shoes with crepe soles; She was carrying a brown leather purse with a blue flower on it and a braided shoulder strap<br />
<br />
<strong>Circumstances of disappearance:</strong><br />
<br />
Laurie disappeared walking home from Ferris High School in Spokane, Washington on December 4, 1974. She left the school early that day, at around 12:30, because she was suffering from stomach cramps. She couldn't find a ride and thought that walking might help alleviate the cramps, so she set off on the 2 mile walk toward her home on the 5400 block of South Custer St. <br />
<br />
She was last seen walking down south down Havanna St. between 43rd and 49th avenues. She never arrived home and has not been heard from again.<br />
<br />
Her family reported her missing when she failed to report for work at the <em>Lincoln Heights Theater</em> that evening. Police originally believed that Laurie might have run away. Laurie's family had once lived in California and she had expressed a desire to return there. Her family never believed Laurie would have left of her own accord. She was engaged to a 20-year-old local man and they were supposed to pick out an engagement ring the following evening. She also took a job working on her school newspaper and was a member of the school drill team.<br />
<br />
Two days after she disappeared, the contents of Laurie's purse were found near the area where she was last seen.<br />
<br />
Her father had given Laurie two tickets to an upcoming <em>Beach Boys</em> concert, taking place after the time she disappeared. Police went to the concert to see if Laurie would show up there. She was not seen, however. It was later confirmed that the tickets were used, but it was never determined who used them.<br />
<br />
Laurie was the oldest of six siblings. Her family members are still searching for answers as to what happened to her. Three suspects were questioned in her case over the years following her disappearance, including Ted Bundy, but no arrests were ever made. Her case remains unsolved.<br />

</tbody></table><div align="left"><strong>Missing from:</strong> Vancouver, Washington since December 7, 1971</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong>DOB:</strong> 11 Nov 1955 <strong>Age:</strong> 16 years <strong>Height:</strong> 5'4-5'5 <strong>Weight:</strong> 125 lbs </div><div align="left"><strong>Hair:</strong> Brown <strong> Eyes:</strong> Brown</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong>Other info:</strong> hair had been bleached blonde prior to the time she went missing--was just beginning to turn back to its natural brown color and appeared a reddish color; wore reading glasses; pierced ears; missing tooth #15. Suffered from a skin condition called dermagraphia, where red itchy lines appear on the skin where a person scratches. Suffered from some hearing loss in one ear.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong>Clothing/jewelry:</strong> a crew neck red and white horizontally striped top with puffy sleeves; hip-hugger blue jeans; white sneakers with handmade drawings and the words 'peace' and 'love' written on them. may have been wearing a long tan corduroy coat and long dangling earrings.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong>Circumstances of disappearance: </strong></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Jamie disappeared on December 7, 1971 from Vancouver, Washington. It has been confirmed that she arrived at school and attended classes at Fort Vancouver High School that day. She had only two classes that day and told her Foster mother that she would return home around 1 or 1:30 pm. While waiting for the bus, she had a brief conversation with her younger sister. She told her that she intended on walking home from school that day. The walk would have been about four miles.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">When her sister returned home that afternoon, she expected to see Jamie, but she wasn't there. Her sister set about calling Jamie's friends in an attempt to locate her. Police were notified that evening, when she didn't return by dark.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Police originally believed that Jamie was a runaway, so wasn't listed as officially missing until January of 1972. Her family members never believed that she would have left on her own. She was very close to her younger sister and got along well with her foster mother. She was a good student and a talented artist and writer. She also had a savings account that had not been touched since she disappeared.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">In May of 1972, some of Jamie's personal belongings were found scattered along an isolated road in the Dole valley area of Northern Clark County, about 40 miles from her home. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Police now suspect that Jamie is the first victim of suspected serial killer, Warren Leslie Forrest. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Forrest was a Clark County Parks employee who is believed to be responsible for the rape and murder of at least 6 young women from the Vancouver area. He is currently incarcerated, convicted of the murder of Krysta Blake, but is eligible for parole in 2014. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Forrest has never been charged in connection with Grisim's case. Police continue to search for evidence linking him to his suspected crimes. A death certificate was issued for Jamie Grisim in 2009, 38 years after her disappearance.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Jamie's sister, Starr Lara, continues to search for Jamie and hopes for resolution in her case. A search fund has been set up for Jamie at Wells Fargo Bank. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank or by emailing <a href="mailto:jessicaronan@wellsfargo.com">jessicaronan@wellsfargo.com</a>.</div><div align="left"><br />

James Lee Haynes, circa 1963</strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong>Vital Stats:</strong> </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong>Race/ethnicity:</strong> Caucasian <strong>Gender:</strong> M <strong>Age:</strong> 32 years <strong>DOB:</strong> 10 Aug 1931 <strong>Hair:</strong> N/A </div><div align="left"><strong>Eyes:</strong> N/A <strong>Height:</strong> N/A <strong>Weight:</strong> N/A </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong>Circumstances of disappearance: </strong></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><em>James Lee Haynes</em> disappeared on 7 Dec 1963 while hitchiking to his parent's home in Saulsville, WV. He was in the area intending to visit relatives for Christmas. He never arrived at his parent's home and has not been seen or heard from since.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Haynes was an army sergeant who had recently completed a tour of duty in Germany and was living in Baltimore, Maryland with his wife, Theta. Theta stayed in Baltimore with her children, while James travelled to West Virginia. She stated that James was carrying Christmas packages with him when he vanished.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Police believe that Haynes was involved in an altercation with three men at a local tavern earlier that day. Afterwards, the men followed Haynes from the tavern and ran him down as he walked along the road. The suspects, unsure if Haynes was dead, backed their car over him again as he lay on the road. They put Haynes' body in the trunk of their vehicle at the scene in Raleigh County, then drove across the county line to Wyoming County. They buried Haynes in a large hollow on Bolt Mountain and nailed his dog tags to a tree. Searches of the area turned up Haynes dog tags, his wallet, and some bloody rags in a hollow tree stump, but his body was never recovered. Police stated that area was too large and the terrain too rough for a more thorough search.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"> In 1971, <em>William Lundy Trump</em> was arrested in connection with Haynes' disappearance, but a lack of evidence eventually led to his release. <em>James Paul Cozort</em>, who was living in Oregon in 1971, was also questioned, but was never formally charged. The other suspect, <em>James Floyd Cox</em> was missing at the time of Trump's arrest and was never located by police. These suspects never admitted to involvement in Haynes' disappearance, but allegedly boasted to others about their crime.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Police conducted more than 150 interviews in their search for clues, but were not able to attain enough information for a conviction.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><em>Theta Haynes</em>, James' widow, stated that the <em>US Army Criminal Investigation Division</em> also investigated, but came up with nothing. Sgt. Haynes was declared deceased one year after his disappearance.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Some have speculated that Haynes may have fallen victim to the "Mad Butcher of Fayette County". Five other men were reported missing in the area between July of 1962 and Haynes disappearance in December of 1963. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">On December 7, 1963, the same day that Haynes went missing, a dismembered body was discovered in a clearing 6 miles south of Pineville, on State Route 16. The victim was a white male, who had been deceased for some time at the time of discovery. The body was badly dismembered, but not significantly decomposed. The victims arms, legs and head had been removed and the torso cut in half. The lower part of the torso was wrapped in canvas which was tied together with mine explosive wire. Police believed the victim may have been <em>Shirley Arthur</em>, but were not certain. Shirley Arthur was an enlisted Navy man who was reported missing in October of 1963. Arthur was also last seen hitchiking near Pineville. The body was buried at Still Run in a grave marked 'unidentified male A' and no arrests have been made in connection with the slaying.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">The partial remains of two other bodies were also discovered between 1962 and 1963. To date, only one of the bodies has been positively identified.</div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">On April 9, 1963, bloody clothing riddled with stab marks, was discovered discarded on a roadside in the area around Oakhill. </div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left">Police have not been able to confirm that a connection exists between the six missing men and the identity of the "Mad Butcher", if he ever existed, remains a mystery. The disappearances of James Lee Haynes and the 5 other missing men of Oakhill remain unsolved.<br />

<br />
<strong>Circumstances of disappearance:</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><em>Scott Andreas Sims</em> was last seen in the early afternoon hours of December 9, 1961. He was at home with his older brother, Donald, while their mother was working. They were living in a corner house at 4600 Stanford Street in Wichita Falls, Texas, where they had been living for only a short time.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Andy’s mother, Ellen Sims, had been a nurse in 1961. She stated that Andy was at home around 12:30 pm when she called the house and spoke to Donald. Donald said that Andy left to go outside and play shortly after her call, at around 12:45 or 1:00 pm. He has never been seen again.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Ellen Sims returned home after her shift and a short shopping trip at around 2:30 pm. She sent Donald to search for Andy. Neighbors and family also participated in the search. The family reported him missing to police around 8pm that evening.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A large-scale search was launched, but turned up no evidence as to Andy’s whereabouts. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Police received multiple tips over the years, but no real leads. One witness reported seeing a young man matching Andy’s description at the Boy Scouts Hut near Lake Wichita around 3pm on the day he disappeared. The area around the lake was thoroughly searched and the lake was later dragged, but no trace of Andy was found. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Andy’s friends claimed that he was fond of playing in some caves near the Fairway Boulevard, but a search of that area also turned up no evidence. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Scott Andreas Sims remains missing under unknown circumstances.

They left their home on northeast 57<sup>th</sup> Ave in Portland, Oregon driving their Ford station wagon ( license plates: 1G-7156) headed toward Columbia Gorge, where they were planning to collect greenery to decorate their home for Christmas. They stopped at Cascade Locks to purchase gasoline and were also seen leaving a restaurant in Hood River, Oregon late in the afternoon. They have never been seen again.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">In February 1959, tire tracks were discovered heading off of a cliff into the Columbia River, near The Dalles, Oregon. The tire tracks matched the tires on the martin’s vehicle. Also, in May of 1959, a river drilling rig near the area where the tire tracks were discovered, hooked something heavy and metal on its anchor. The item broke free before it could be pulled up, but it may have been the missing vehicle. A couple of days later, the bodies of Susan and Virginia were found downstream, near Bonneville Dam. They had both drowned. The rest of the family remain missing.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Police believe the Martin family may have accidentally drowned after driving into the river, or possibly the family was abducted and pushed off of the cliff. Attempts were made to search the river for further evidence, but no more was recovered. The search was called off after a diver nearly died. No further searches have been made and the case has been closed, but remains unsolved.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><br />
