On the evening of July 20, 1987, 24-year-old Sharon Pulaski told her mother she’d make a short trip to the store and would return in about fifteen minutes. She drove off in a blue 1985 Plymouth Reliant and never came back. Sharon was a young mother; her son Steven was left at home, and family and neighbors describe her as part of a close-knit household. Her disappearance was out of character.

In August 1987 the same Reliant was stopped in California with four unidentified people inside, yet a formal police report was reportedly not filed and the occupants were not taken into custody for questioning. The car was later found abandoned in Seattle in September 1987. Family members point out Sharon left her son’s important documents neatly on her bed, which they say makes a voluntary departure unlikely.

Many theories have circulated, including possible foul play and a briefly considered link to Tommy Lee Sells that is not widely accepted. The case remains unsolved and cold. Does anyone have memories or information about Sharon, her blue Plymouth, or the car’s movements that summer?
