Katheryne Eggleston was 22 and newly employed when she vanished from Portland, Oregon on August 2, 1993. Last seen about 2:15 p.m. in the former Port of Portland building lobby, witnesses said she appeared worried and preoccupied; one client reported seeing her exit an elevator with an unidentified man. She never made a scheduled 5:00 p.m. meeting in Lake Oswego and was reported missing after failing to return to the Gresham home she shared with her sister.

Katheryne’s silver/gray Volkswagen Golf was found around 12:30 a.m. the next day in an industrial parking lot nine miles from where she was last seen. The car was unlocked with the windows down and keys in the ignition; her purse with cash and credit cards and workout clothes were inside, but her Allnet work binder and passport were missing. Investigators found no signs of a struggle.

Early inquiries considered the possibility she left voluntarily in connection with her sister’s pending tax-evasion case, a theory the family rejects. A then-boyfriend was cleared by alibi. Investigators later examined a possible link to convicted murderer Joel Patrick Courtney, who was reportedly in the area then, but no definitive evidence has tied him to Katheryne’s disappearance.

Did anyone in Portland or Lake Oswego see Katheryne or her Volkswagen on August 2, 1993?
