Summary:

Laurie Lynn Partridge went missing on Dec. 4, 1974, when she was only 17 years old. According to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office, Laurie and her family had moved to Spokane from California just a few months before she disappeared. While authorities originally believed she left of her own free will, The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said foul play is suspected

Vital Statistics

Circumstances of Disappearance:

She was last seen walking south on Havana Street near 37th Avenue. There were reports that a green Ford Pinto station wagon was in the area at the time, possibly following her.

Additional Details:

In 2011, investigators announced they had a new witness who may have seen Partridge during her walk home. Authorities haven't disclosed the witness's identity, but stated the person allegedly saw Laurie at 4:15 p.m., several hours after the last confirmed sighting of her. A Caucasian male in his forties or fifties, as well as a white truck with a dark-colored door and a van back end, were nearby. Three suspects have been questioned in Laurie's case over the years, but no one has been charged in her case. Her boyfriend was questioned extensively but never named as a suspect. Her parents got a divorce after her disappearance, but later reconciled and remarried each other more than ten years later.
