I put a lot of time into this one, going beyond the simple sit down and discussing of an unsolved case as is the norm. In this video I take you to the locations where events in this case occurred while theorizing on it a bit myself.
On August 8, 1993, 22-year old Katheryn "Katie" Eggleston was on her first day flying solo at her new job. In the early afternoon she visited the 700 Building at the corner of NE 7th Avenue and Multnomah Street where she gave a presentation. Multiple people said she appeared worried and/or preoccupied. She was last seen leaving the building during the 2 o'clock hour, exiting the building's elevator and walking out with a man dressed in a blue blazer. She has not been seen since.
Her vehicle was discovered several hours later in the Argay neighborhood of Northeast Portland in an industrial area. Her car had been left in a parking lot with the keys inside, doors unlocked and the windows rolled down. Despite this discovery it got authorities no closer to solving this case. Unfortunately, Katie's case was also mired in the apparent ineptitude of its investigators who chose to pursue the case as a runaway with Katie willingly disappearing on her own... and she did this on her first day flying solo at her great new job? It's a real tragedy how this case was handled and what Katie's immediate family had to go through while already dealing with the fact that their loved one had gone missing.
As of today, Katie Eggleston has been missing for more than 27 years and I can only hope that some day we find the answers as to what happened to her.
