I am wondering if there was somebody hiding in the van when she picked it up. Back then I am not so sure they would have locked the vehicles.

The family friend says that they went to the library I wonder if LE went to the library to question the people that were working there at the time to see if the girls ever arrived. And if someone is running away from somebody then I don't think they would tell that person they were going to the library?? I wonder if his apartment has been looked over for any DNA or blood that was wiped off the walls or floors. Terrible to think that way but this mans story does not add up.

During August in the summer of 1977, the badly decomposed body of an unidentified female was discovered by blackberry pickers in the south Everett, Washington area off 112th St. SW and 4th Ave. W., known then as Emander Road. The victim, labeled Jane Doe, had been strangled and shot several times in the head. Due to the extreme decomposition of Jane Doe's body, Officials were unable to even identify her age.
Jane Doe is described as a white female, probably between the ages of 15 and 21. The autopsy report estimates she was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 155 pounds. She had short, light brown to brown hair, which did not have any hair color or treatment on it. She appeared to have a suntan and was wearing the following: a tank top with pastel stripes, cut off jeans, and blue and white tennis shoes. She also had a Timex watch with a brown leather band on her left wrist. Her upper two front teeth had dental restorations.

Anyone who recognizes the girl in the sketch or any of the other items in these photos is asked to call Snohomish County Sheriff's tip line at 425-388-3845. People should call the tip line at 425-388-3845, providing the following information:

I will Tara , cause she had a soul & kind & gentile heart. Althrough i din't no her as colse as a friend should. The brief moments that i stood in her presence, left a long lasting impression. Where ever she is i will pray & miss her dearly. And hope that her boyfriend
had absolutely nothing to do with her dissapearance. I did contact the local Fb office to
find out if there had been any news of her whereabouts. Every year of he absence i cry my heart out . And hope that she is looking dow
n on me from heaven. All i can wish for is that her plan worked & she was able to start
a new life. A better life for herself. I will miss you tara & love you always.

I knew Tara Breckenridge from meeting her boyfriend. She was a nice lady & the skies were here limits towards her future. It was perhaps in the early 1990. At the time i met him his employment was dragging golf balls from the lakes at a Inwood Forest golf court. I worked with him & he paid me sometimes. Tara was working at " The Mens Club", a strip club for the entertainment of men. Althrough she was not a dancer/stripper men found her a delight. In my humblest of opinions i do-not know about where she was from or how she grew up. It's not like i was here best friend. Tara waz a sweet kind freindly girl who went on about her business & didn't make many waves in a pond. There were of course aguments between Wayne & Tara but that seems to hapen sometimes.

Wayne could be a little bit jealous, when tara waz off to work. He gave specific orders every time he dropped her off at work. " don't talk to the customers , don't be too friendly to them; if the give you a phone number# tear it up". There were times that i couldn't stand the way that he treated her. Nice girl like that i would have treated her like a queen. I can recall that there was this one time that he was taking Tara to work & were on 610 South going towards the Galleria mall; & before we got up to the fork in the freeway the goes right to I-10 West he slammed on the breaks in the middle of freeway in their blue late 80ies mercury lynnx. " My God"!! i said to myself alll three of us might have just died right there in major traffic. Wow! he shouted at her & i kept praying the fussing would completely stop.

Tara Suzette Breckenridge went missing August4,1992 ; tara was 23 years old. At that very time i was still living right down the street from her. This is waht i really think what happened to Tara. Believe me or not retort if you care to. I think that Tara was trying to Leave Wayne & hope that he wouldn't follow her. She would meet a lot of real rich guys that make upwards of $100,00 - $500,000 per year so she planned to start a new life. Tara would park her car somewhere? & have the new guy drive her outta the state. Then she perhaps cute her hair & changed her appearance. Got a new I.D. & started a new life in another state or even another country with the right forged papers. I can only speculate that this happned this way! & not the other. I pray that some sick pedoplile stalker didn't harm Tara. No matter what or where she is living or dead i will always miss her & hope that we shall meet again in heaven. Tara Breckenridge will be truly missed by me.

My sister, judy -Judith Erin O'Day - Judith Erin O'Donnell - was a spirited youth turned troubled youth. She followed her dream to New York City for fame and fortune.  She lived in the Village with "friends."  Judy was last seen by her family on 11/30/1980.  Her case manager (New York State Trooper)  in Albany, NY referred me to this site.

 

Judy was 19 years old when she was last seen at the Baltimore, MD bus terminal.  We have no way of knowing whether she boarded the bus or not. We had my other sister with us as well, who was returning by train. The two stations are on opposite sides of the city, and my other sister had her infant son with her, so she needed our help. 

 

Here are the missing files, the facebook link, and other links on Judy:
