Lorill Sinclaire Bryden, 48, was last seen on the afternoon of Tuesday, November 8, 2011, at the Factoria Mall in Bellevue, Washington. A Redmond resident and divorced mother, she was described as having shoulder-length blonde hair, green eyes, a mole on her right cheek, and a scar on her abdomen. Loved ones raised alarm when she failed to make contact, which they said was out of character.

Her burgundy 1991 Ford Escort was found abandoned on November 28, 2011, in the 4200 block of 124th Avenue Northeast in Bellevue, near the mall and close to her boyfriend’s apartment; Lorill herself was not located. Dozens of volunteers and search-and-rescue teams combed nearby woods around Coal Creek Parkway and Factoria Boulevard without success. Police initially reported no sign of foul play, but the investigation remained active.

In November 2022 prosecutors charged Lorill’s boyfriend, Mark Raymond Frisby, with second-degree murder. Investigators later pointed to circumstantial evidence including DNA on a knife Frisby pawned after she vanished and purchases of cleaning supplies the morning after she was last seen; the landlord said the apartment had not been cleaned. Lorill’s remains have not been found and key questions about what happened remain unresolved.

If anyone knew Lorill, saw her that day, or has information about her movements or the area near Factoria Mall, please share what you know.
