Sandra Kay Gabbert was 17 when she disappeared from the Seattle area after being last seen near a 7-Eleven on Pacific Highway South at South 142nd Street on April 17, 1983. Once the star of her high school basketball team, she had reportedly dropped out and was living a transient life with her boyfriend in motels along Pacific Highway South, also called the Sea-Tac Strip, and had turned to sex work to support herself.

Almost a year later, on April 1, 1984, skeletal remains identified as Sandra’s were found in a wooded area below Star Lake Road, wedged against a log on a hillside. Her death was later tied to a string of murders that deeply alarmed the Seattle-area community and were associated with the Green River case.

Does anyone have memories of Sandra, the neighborhoods along Pacific Highway South in 1983, or information that might still be relevant to her case?
