Kimi-Kai Pitsor was 16 when she vanished from downtown Seattle on April 17, 1983. According to her boyfriend, the two argued and he last saw her get into an older green Ford pickup truck. She did not return and an initial search produced no answers.

In December 1983 a human skull found near Mountain View Cemetery in Auburn was identified as Kimi-Kai’s. The remainder of her remains were recovered in December 1985 on a steep slope across from that cemetery, near the remains of two other unidentified victims. For years her murder was unsolved but linked to the Green River killings.

In 2003 Gary Leon Ridgway confessed, as part of a plea agreement, to picking up and killing Kimi-Kai Pitsor; he was later convicted in the Green River case. No other suspects have been named in her death.

If anyone knew Kimi-Kai, saw her that day, or has information about the green pickup truck, please come forward.
