Vicki Lynn Perkins was 19 when she vanished from Portland, Oregon, in March 1989. Her disappearance drew increasing concern until May 13, 1989, when skeletal remains found in a remote area of Emery County, Utah, near a major interstate were confirmed by fingerprint analysis to be hers.

Her death was investigated as a homicide. Investigators identified long-haul truck driver Scott William Cox, a Portland resident with a history of violence, as a person of interest; authorities linked him to two other Portland-area murders for which he was later convicted in September 1993. Cox’s transient work pattern prompted scrutiny of multiple unsolved killings along interstate routes, but no definitive evidence tied him to Perkins’s death and he was never charged in her case.

Vicki’s murder remains officially unsolved. Does anyone have information about Vicki’s last known movements in Portland in March 1989 or about sightings along interstate routes that spring?
