Teresa Teri Anne Davidson-Murphy, 34, was last seen October 7, 1999, in Rainier, Oregon. She had moved with her husband Richard Murphy and her teenage daughter from Puyallup, Washington, to the 72000 block of Hutchison Road a few months earlier and reportedly missed her job, friends, and family back in Washington. On the day she disappeared Teresa dropped her daughter at a friend’s for a three-day sleepover; Richard reportedly left that same day for a solo camping trip in Olympic National Forest.

Teresa’s pickup truck and all of her personal belongings were left at the home, with the truck keys still in the ignition. She was described as having brown hair, blue eyes, pierced ears, and a green rose tattoo on her right ankle. She was believed to be wearing a green sweater, blue jeans, white sneakers, her wedding ring, and a gold chain when she vanished. Richard later reported a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun missing from the house. Teresa’s sister-in-law did not report her missing until October 23; police announced in August 2001 that Teresa was presumed deceased. The investigation remains open and unresolved.

Does anyone have information about Teresa’s movements in Rainier in October 1999 or about the missing firearm?
