Sallie Belle Maxi Signani was 32 when she disappeared from Renton, Washington, in early June 1973. She had recently separated from her husband and was living with a new partner when she uncharacteristically failed to show up for work, prompting the first report that she was missing. She is described as a white female, blonde hair, brown eyes, 5 feet 1 inch, about 125 pounds, and was sometimes known by the last names Bigelow and Gard.

The investigation was badly hampered when the original police file and its initial findings disappeared sometime after her report. A new file was opened in 2003, but the contemporaneous leads and documents lost with the first file could not be replaced. The case remains unsolved and is active with the King County Sheriff’s Office as case number 04-029197.

If anyone knew Sallie, her movements in Renton in June 1973, or has information that could help, please share what is known with the Sheriff’s Office.
