Toni Rae Atchley, 54, was last seen July 22, 2022, in the Kennewick, Washington area. Her 2017 Toyota Corolla was found abandoned July 25 on State Route 240 near the Hanford Rattlesnake gate, about 15 miles northwest of West Richland. The car had fuel and was in working order; Toni’s phone, backpack and wallet were inside. Her dog was found in the vehicle and had died from the extreme heat.

Benton County and Kennewick investigators searched the surrounding arid terrain, including aerial searches that reportedly turned up a piece of clothing about four miles from the car. Toni’s sister Bekah Wolken said Toni had told some people she was going to disappear, and acquaintances said she seemed upset and anxious beforehand; phone records show calls to mental health crisis centers. Some reports note a past volunteer connection between Toni and a woman later suspected in a Mesa murder, but authorities say there is no evidence of foul play in Toni’s disappearance.

Does anyone in the Kennewick area remember Toni before July 22, 2022, or have information about her movements that week?
