On the night of Friday, January 21, 1994, 20-year-old Korina Rodriguez left a party in Bellingham, Washington, with her roommate Samantha Ham and brothers Timothy and Frankie Braddy. Witnesses said the four were intoxicated and mentioned going rock climbing, but they were never seen together again. A car loaned to the Braddys was later found abandoned on Chuckanut Shore Road near a residence from which two 12-foot skiffs had been reported stolen.

Searchers shifted to Chuckanut Bay after one of those skiffs washed ashore in Teddy Bear Cove on January 26 and a jacket believed to belong to either Korina or Samantha was recovered submerged nearby. Extensive searches by the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Department and the Coast Guard turned up no other trace of the four, and the official search was eventually scaled back. Authorities’ prevailing theory is that the friends, likely impaired by alcohol, took the skiffs out and were overcome by the bay’s conditions, but many questions remain.

Did anyone in the area in January 1994 see the group, the skiffs, or the abandoned car that could help fill in what happened that night?
