Kelly Ray Huff was 25 and worked as a shipwright when he was last seen leaving his Seattle home on June 25, 1985. His disappearance prompted a criminal investigation that concluded Kelly was the victim of a homicide.

The prosecution’s case against primary suspect Guy William Rowan relied heavily on testimony from Kelly’s five-year-old daughter, who said she saw her father go into the family basement with Rowan and that Rowan was holding a gun. Investigators also found bloodstains in the basement. Rowan was tried and convicted of second-degree murder.

Years after his conviction, after serving more than a decade in prison, Rowan told Seattle police he had buried Kelly on a hillside outside a town in Snohomish County. Deputies and volunteers searched and dug at the location indicated but did not recover Kelly’s remains.

Did anyone in the area at the time remember unusual activity around the Huff home or the hillside site in Snohomish County?
