Shirley Marie Sherrill was an 18-year-old Caucasian woman who disappeared from Seattle, Washington, after having lunch with a friend on October 20, 1982. For years her whereabouts were unknown until 1985, when her skull was recovered from a dumping ground alongside the remains of another person, confirming she had been killed.

The investigation later connected her death to Gary Ridgway, known as the Green River Killer. Ridgway, described as a truck painter from Auburn, confessed in 2003 as part of a plea deal and was charged and convicted in Sherrill’s murder among many others; he is serving multiple life sentences.

If anyone knew Shirley, saw her on or after October 20, 1982, or has information about her life in Seattle before she vanished, please share what is known.
