Rhonda Gayle Sansovich, 26, was last seen in March 1988 in the Elmira and Veneta area of Oregon. She was petite, 5 feet 5 inches and about 130 pounds, with brown hair, hazel eyes, a small scar near her navel and several tattoos: a butterfly on her shoulder, the name Wayne on her abdomen, and roses on her chest. Rhonda reportedly planned to hitchhike to Palmdale, California, to meet a boyfriend who had recently received a large settlement; she had no driver’s license or vehicle.

The last confirmed sighting placed her getting into a red semi-truck outside a Veneta tavern. After leaving Oregon she phoned her mother from Seattle and later from The Dalles; the final family contact was a letter postmarked in Omaha, Nebraska, around March 7, 1988, saying she might be traveling in a black Kenworth truck and expected to reach California within two days. Her boyfriend checked on her about two weeks later when she had not arrived. In 1997 the Lane County Sheriff’s Office reclassified the case as a probable homicide. No further information or contact has come to the family.

Does anyone have information about Rhonda’s movements in March 1988, or sightings of a red semi-truck or a black Kenworth along her reported route?
