Wendy Aughe was 29 and a beauty school student and mother of two when she disappeared from her Bellingham, Washington, home in the spring of 1987. Her last confirmed sighting was April 25, 1987, leaving a local restaurant after telling classmates she had a date with a man in a three-piece suit. She failed to pick up her eight-year-old daughter, and a missing person report followed.

Investigators quickly focused on a man Wendy had recently met, a drifter who first gave the name Mike Johnson and was later identified as Darren Dee O Neall. Wendy was last seen with O Neall, who worked as a bartender at the restaurant. A week after her disappearance, her 1972 Ford Torino was found abandoned in Eugene, Oregon with O Neall’s fingerprints inside, and he was photographed driving the car into Canada. Wendy’s apartment showed signs of a violent struggle: pools of blood, blood-soaked bedsheets, and other evidence. Her body has never been found.

A DNA profile developed from semen recovered from the bedsheet in her apartment later matched O Neall, renewing interest in the case. Does anyone in the Bellingham area remember Wendy, her routines, or her contacts in April 1987?
