Darci Renae Warde was 16 when she ran away from her home in Seattle on April 24, 1990, after police had returned her earlier that day. A Caucasian female with brown hair and blue eyes, she had a history of running away and had links to prostitution, which led investigators to classify her initially as an endangered runaway.

Her disappearance has long been viewed in the context of a string of missing young women from the Seattle area who were vulnerable and often involved in street-based sex work. Investigators increasingly suspect she may have been killed and have flagged a possible connection to Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer. Ridgway reportedly confessed to killing a woman named Darci or Dorsey in Tacoma in the mid-to-late 1980s, which prompted investigators to consider that Warde might have traveled to Tacoma after running away and encountered him.

No direct evidence has been publicly reported to confirm Darci Warde’s fate, and no arrest has been announced in her case. Did anyone in Seattle or Tacoma know Darci, where she spent time, or have information about her movements after April 24, 1990?
