Lori Taalid was 43 when her body was found beneath an Interstate 5 underpass near the railroad tracks by the Columbia River on March 3, 2005. A native of Minnesota and a mother of two, she had been living on the streets of Vancouver, Washington, since about 2003 and received mail at the Share House Shelter. A photograph taken on December 2, 2004, shows a stranger giving her a coat; that was the last recorded sighting before her death.

Her remains were identified four days after discovery by tattoos and fingerprints. Authorities ruled the death a homicide; investigators have not released details about the manner of death and no arrests or suspects have been publicly named. The Vancouver Police Department treats the case as an open cold case, and Lori’s brother and two daughters remain listed as her surviving family.

Did anyone see Lori in late 2004 or early 2005, or remember activity under the I-5 underpass that might help investigators?
