Amanda Gallion was 14 when she was last seen in Gillette, Wyoming, on October 13, 1997, walking to school. She left home that morning but never arrived; her family did not realize she was missing until about 6:00 p.m. She had moved to the area just six weeks earlier.

Initial suspicion focused on her 20-year-old boyfriend, Patrick Ghering, who said he had seen Amanda at 7:15 a.m. the morning she disappeared. Patrick himself went missing six days later and was never found; his car was discovered abandoned at the side of the road. Neither Amanda’s nor Patrick’s Social Security number has been used since their disappearances.

Investigators later examined other leads without resolution. Bone fragments recovered from the property of Nathaniel Bar-Jonah did not match Amanda’s DNA. In 2007 an inmate, James Strahl, reportedly confessed to killing Amanda after picking her up while hitchhiking, but that confession has been disputed and Strahl later denied making it. No trace of Amanda or Patrick has been found and the cases remain unsolved.

Did anyone in the Gillette area in October 1997 see Amanda or Patrick, or have information about their movements that has not been shared with investigators?
