Katheryn Scott Eggleston, known as Katie, was 22 when she vanished from Portland, Oregon, on August 2, 1993. A recent Oregon State University graduate who had just begun work as a salesperson, she was last seen early that afternoon in a Northeast Portland building lobby; witnesses said she was making phone calls and seemed worried. One client reported seeing her exit an elevator with an unidentified man.

The next morning her car was found unlocked in an industrial parking lot miles from where she was last seen. The keys were in the ignition and her purse remained inside, but her work binder and passport were missing. Investigators at first considered a possible intentional disappearance linked to a legal matter involving her older sister; her family strongly disputed that and has maintained they believe foul play was involved. Joel Courtney, later convicted in an unrelated Oregon murder, was investigated as a person of interest because he was in Portland then, but no definitive link has been established.

Many leads have been pursued over the years without resolution. Does anyone who lived or worked in Northeast Portland in August 1993 recall seeing Katie or the man seen with her?
