Kimberly Ann Forbes, 48, was last seen at home in the 1600 block of Jeanette Road in Hood River, Oregon, on October 30, 2004. She spoke that evening with her teenage daughter and described plans to meet a friend for breakfast nearby the next morning, then drive to Portland for a solo shopping trip. She never showed up for breakfast and all contact stopped that day.

On November 19, 2004, Kimberly’s burgundy 2000 Ford Explorer was found abandoned in a restaurant parking lot in Gresham, Oregon, in the 18800 block of Southeast Stark Street, roughly 55 miles from her home. The rear passenger window had been broken and the driver’s seat was pushed back much farther than would be comfortable for someone of her height. Clothing, fast food containers, and credit card receipts were found inside and around the SUV.

Fingerprints in the vehicle matched a local Gresham man who admitted breaking into the Explorer and stealing items after it had been abandoned; he told investigators the vehicle appeared to have already been broken into when he found it and was later cleared of involvement in Kimberly’s disappearance after cooperating and taking a polygraph.

If anyone knew Kimberly, saw her Explorer in early November 2004, or has information about her movements between October 30 and the vehicle’s discovery, please come forward.
