Mary Exzetta West was 16 when she left a relative’s home in Seattle on February 6, 1984, saying she would make a quick trip to the store. She was two months pregnant at the time and was not seen alive again. Her disappearance remained unresolved for more than a year until remains identified as hers were recovered under a tree in Seward Park on September 8, 1985. The medical examiner could not determine an exact cause of death because of the condition of the remains, but investigators classified the death as a homicide.

Mary West was later listed among the victims tied to the serial killer known as the Green River Killer. Gary Leon Ridgway was arrested in 2001; in June 2003 he confessed to Mary West’s murder as part of a plea agreement and was convicted in numerous counts, with Mary recorded as the forty-fourth known victim.

Did anyone who knew Mary or who lived near Seward Park in 1984–1985 see or hear anything that might shed light on her last day?
