Cheryl Laverne Grose | MP24658

https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/24658/investigations?nav

Cheryl was last seen July 6, 1991 by her husband, Tom, at their motel in Tigard, OR. Tom told their five children that she left voluntarily and that they would never see her again. Tom is a POI. At the time of her disappearance she was around 5’3 and 135lbs.

I stumbled upon this websleuths thread :

In 2012, Tom was arrested for sexual assault, rape, kidnapping, and domestic violence. 

Another theory is that Tom hired a hit man. An ex Seattle cop named Gary Krueger is linked to quite a few murders in the north west. It’s stated Tom knew Gary but I have no idea how creditable that is. Tom did live in Washington at one point. 

Multnomah County Jane Doe 1993 | UP9599

https://unidentified-awareness.fandom.com/wiki/Multnomah\_County\_Jane\_Doe\_(1993)

On September 7, 1993, a woman was found along the banks of the Willamette River in Portland, OR. Her cause of death is unclear. She is thought to have been deceased for 2 days. It’s noted she has multiple healed rib fractures, a scar across her stomach, and a scar on her left hand. It’s assumed she had recently lost weight (or are her clothes just too big? How do they know this?). She is 5’4, 140lbs.

I wish more information about Cheryl was available to us. I can’t deny that I thought she was deceased as soon as the husband said she was gone. But what if he threatened her and she really did leave everything behind? This Jane Doe is just SO close to where Cheryl last was it’s making me pause. Did she try to keep an eye on the kids from afar? Cheryl was 41 at the time of her disappearance, putting her a little bit older than the estimate (30-40). No mentions of scars or previous broken bones, but the husband wasn’t too cooperative.

Unfortunately I can only find that one compressed photo of Cheryl (hey that’s better than nothing) but I do think there’s a resemblance to the sketch with her longer nose and way her eyes are set. I’m just torn between “yep the husband’s guilty as f” and this Jane Doe who pops up so closely to where Cheryl last was. 

Could Cheryl Laverne Grose be the Multnomah County Jane Doe (1993)?
