Thirteen-year-old Rachanda Pickle vanished from her home at a remote highway maintenance compound near Santiam Junction in Linn County, Oregon, in the summer of 1990. She was last seen watching television on the morning of July 10. At the time she was 4 feet 7 inches, about 90 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes, a scar on her forehead and double-pierced ears. She may have been wearing black pants, a t-shirt possibly bearing a New Kids on the Block logo, and LA Gear tennis shoes.

Rachanda’s stepfather, John Arthur Ackroyd, who worked as a highway mechanic, was the last person reported to have seen her; Rachanda’s mother was at work. Friends said Rachanda was afraid of Ackroyd and had come to school with bruises she attributed to him. The house showed no signs of a struggle, and searches of Santiam Junction, Hoodoo Ski area and Big Lake turned up no trace. Investigators continued to focus on Ackroyd as the case went cold.

Rachanda’s remains have never been found and key questions remain about what happened the morning she disappeared. Does anyone who knew Rachanda or living near Santiam Junction in 1990 have information that could help?
