Hi all - Russell's daughter here. Where can I find this anonymous tip?

AO,

Do you mean to leave a tip? You click on the provide information button.

no i mean the alleged anonymous tip in the case description

AO, Looks like it came from this reference if you scroll down on this forum there is a post referring to it. I have no clue if it's accurate or not you might reach out to the original poster on websleuths.

I posted that.

Russell John Olmstead, called Russ, was 24 when he vanished after being dropped off at the Don Bensing Farm in Ellisforde, Washington. His mother gave him a ride to a picker’s cabin there on August 15, 1998, and that was the last time anyone reported seeing or hearing from him.

He was described as a white male about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, 140 to 150 pounds, with long brown hair often in a ponytail, brown eyes, several scars on his left arm and left knee, and a birthmark on his left arm. The Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation; an anonymous tip came in during 1998 but produced no breakthrough, and there has been no contact with family or friends since he disappeared.

Few public details exist about what happened after he was left at the farm, and the case remains open. Did anyone in the area know Russ or see him at the Don Bensing Farm that day? Please share any information with the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office.
