Westie Leda Knauer, 32, was last seen in North Portland, Oregon, in April 1987; the exact day that month is uncertain. Known to some as West, she was described as a white woman with blonde or strawberry-blonde hair, brown eyes, standing between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 9 inches and weighing about 130 pounds. She had a history of broken ribs and a fractured right hip and had pins in her right leg from those injuries.

A major complication in the case is that her mother did not report her missing until almost two months after her last known sighting, a delay that hampered the Portland Police Bureau’s investigation. No confirmed contacts or sightings have been reported since Westie vanished, and public details about her life and the circumstances before April 1987 are scarce. The case remains cold and unresolved, leaving family without answers.

If anyone knew Westie, lived near North Portland in 1987, or has information about her movements that spring, please come forward.
