On the morning of December 8, 1997, the body of 44-year-old Vicky Silves was found in the driveway of her home in the 4800 block of Concrete Sauk Valley Road in rural Concrete, Washington. Her injuries were severe and consistent with an attack by an edged weapon, and investigators described the death as violent and sudden.

Detectives from the Skagit County Sheriff’s Office conducted an extensive investigation, interviewing dozens of possible witnesses or persons of interest. Vicky had planned to attend a holiday party the night before she was found. Some speculated the killing might have been a crime of passion or connected to her work at a timber export company, but no definitive motive or suspect emerged.

The case has remained unsolved for decades and was later reviewed by the Vidocq Society, yet no arrests have been announced. If anyone knew Vicky, her movements that weekend, or saw anything unusual in the Concrete area around December 7–8, 1997, please share what was seen.
