Constance Merrick, called Connie in reports, was 20 when she and her husband Roy disappeared from Port Orchard, Washington, after saying on October 21, 1985 that they were going fishing at a local pond. That was the last time anyone heard from the couple. Their camper trailer was later checked and all personal belongings remained inside, suggesting the outing was meant to be short. A missing persons report was filed with the Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office on November 5, 1985.

The couple vanished from an area of tribal land and there were no witnesses to their departure or any later activity. Investigators reported no obvious signs of a struggle or foul play at the trailer, and over the years the case has produced few leads. The central unanswered question remains what occurred at the nearby pond that day.

If anyone knew Connie or Roy, or remembers seeing a couple headed to a pond in Port Orchard in late October 1985, please come forward with any information.
