Tammie Liles was 16 when she disappeared from downtown Seattle on June 9, 1983. She was a White female from Everett, Washington. For years her family lived with uncertainty about her fate.

Some of her remains were recovered near Tigard, Oregon, in 1988 and identified by dental records, confirming she was among the victims of the Green River Killer, Gary Ridgway. Additional remains connected to the case were recovered in south King County after Ridgway cooperated with investigators as part of a 2003 plea agreement; those bones were logged as Bones 20 and remained unidentified for nearly two decades. In 2022–2023 advanced forensic DNA work and genetic genealogy produced a tentative identification, and a family DNA sample confirmed the remains belonged to Tammie Liles, completing the identification of the known remains linked to the Green River killings.

What can readers add about Tammie’s life in Everett or the last time she was seen in Seattle that might help preserve her memory?
