Glenda Sue Shoptaugh, 62, was last seen at the Estacada home she shared with her son on November 10, 2005. Her son left that morning around 7:30 a.m. to go mushroom hunting with a friend and returned four to five hours later to find Glenda gone and her brown 1985 Subaru station wagon missing. The son reported her missing on November 14.

On November 15 the Subaru was discovered abandoned on a remote Forest Service road in Mount Hood National Forest, about four miles from Highway 224. The car was covered in black mold, the driver’s door was open and the keys were in the ignition. The vehicle was not linked to Glenda until November 18, which prompted a large search of the surrounding terrain; no sign of her was found and investigators later concluded she was likely never in the area where the car was left.

By July 2006 authorities had declared Glenda missing under suspicious circumstances and said she may have been the victim of foul play. Many people in her social circle were reported to be involved with drugs, though any connection to her disappearance has not been confirmed and the case remains open. If anyone knew Glenda, her routines, or saw her vehicle that November, can you share what you know?
