Rebecca Becky Kathleen Reid was 37 when she disappeared from the Grocery Cart convenience store on Highway 99N in Eugene, Oregon, in the early morning hours of January 27, 1997. She was working as the store manager and preparing to close when a witness outside collecting beer bottles saw an unidentified man forcibly lead her out of the store. Rebecca was last seen wearing a turquoise pullover sweater, jeans, and blue and white sneakers.

The abductor was described as a white male in his late twenties to mid-thirties, about 5 feet 9 inches and 165–185 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair, a mustache and stubble. He wore a dark baseball cap, a short-sleeved white t-shirt and jeans. He forced Rebecca into a white or light-colored early 1970s–early 1980s compact or mid-size pickup truck with Oregon plates; the truck had a distinctive horizontal blue stripe about eight inches wide and may have had a white canopy over the bed. A composite sketch was later circulated.

About a month later another woman reported a knifepoint attempted abduction from a nearby grocery; someone was convicted in that case but has not been definitively linked to Rebecca’s disappearance. The investigation remains open and there have been no publicly reported breakthroughs. Did anyone who shopped at or worked near Highway 99N in January 1997 see that pickup or recognize the composite sketch?
