Suzanne Rae Justis, known as Sue, was 23 when she left Eugene, Oregon, and traveled to Portland around November 2, 1973. On November 5 she phoned her mother from a pay phone near the Memorial Coliseum and said she would be back in Eugene the next day to pick up her five-year-old son. Suzanne never checked into the hotel her mother had reserved and that phone call was the last confirmed contact.

Suzanne is described as a white female, brown hair, blue eyes, 5 feet 3 inches, 110 pounds, with a mole below her lower left lip. No formal missing persons report was filed with the Eugene Police Department until February 14, 1989, complicating the investigation. Her body has never been found and the case is listed as an endangered missing person and remains a cold case.

Did anyone in Portland in early November 1973 see Suzanne near the Memorial Coliseum or a hotel she might have been trying to reach?
