Laronda Marie Bronson was 18 when she disappeared from a bus stop in Portland, Oregon, on November 19, 1982. She is described as a young Black woman with black hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 6 inches to 5 feet 7 inches tall and 110 to 120 pounds. Distinguishing marks included two piercings in each ear, a scar on her chin, and a scar on the back of her neck; she sometimes used the nickname Bird.

Laronda was last seen waiting for a bus. Her case is classified as an endangered missing person and is being handled by the King County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators have dental records, fingerprints, and DNA on file, and an age-progressed image was produced in 2005 showing how she might have looked at 40. Very few other details about the circumstances of her disappearance are available.

Does anyone have memories of Laronda, recalls of that bus stop on November 19, 1982, or information that could help move this case forward?
