Jaclynne Snyder was 22 when she disappeared during a trip from Spokane, Washington, to the East Coast in late summer 1977. A recent honors graduate from the University of Washington with a degree in Russian, she had plans to interview for a United Nations position in New York. On Sunday, September 4, 1977, Jaclynne was last seen in the late afternoon leaving the Strawbery Banke area of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with dark blue checks, dark blue jeans, brown shoes, and carrying a small dark blue day pack.

Her body was found on the morning of September 14, 1977, in a wooded area off Route 155 in Lee. Significant decomposition prevented the autopsy from determining a precise cause and manner of death; gunshot and stab wounds were ruled out, and the medical examiner could not exclude other causes such as a neck injury. Investigators say there were no signs of a struggle or sexual assault, and the case has been treated as a homicide. A lead that she may have been at a Ramada Inn in Dover on September 5 did not develop publicly. No suspects have been publicly named or arrested, and the case remains unsolved.

Does anyone have information about Jaclynne’s movements in Portsmouth, Dover, or the Route 155 area in early September 1977?
