Martha Evans, known as Marty, disappeared from the Astoria, Oregon area on February 10, 1990. She had been a bridesmaid earlier that day and, after the reception at the High Climber Room lounge in Knappa, told friends around 9:30 p.m. she would make a quick trip to Warrenton and return within an hour. She left in a borrowed brown 1984 Ford Ranger pickup without her purse, and never returned.

Martha was a 32-year-old divorced single mother of two who had recently moved back to the area. She was wearing a black backless bridesmaid dress, a short black leather jacket, and twisted gold hoop earrings. She is described as Caucasian, 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches, 110–115 pounds, with dark brown shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. Distinguishing tattoos included a tiger on her abdomen, seven roses with a Daddy banner on her left shoulder, and a dragon with a Perry banner on her right ankle. The Ford Ranger had numerous dents, a 7-Up sticker, and Oregon plate PNB116.

Family attempts to file a missing person report were initially dismissed and an official report was not filed until 2005. A reported sighting at a gas station outside Astoria—of Martha on a payphone, upset and crying—remains the last potential sighting. Neither Martha nor the truck has ever been located.

Did anyone attend that wedding or the reception who remembers seeing Marty leave or the truck after 9:30 p.m.?
