Roberta Joseph Hayes, a life that was brutally interrupted and cut short, entered this world on June 9, 1966, a day that would serve as the starting point of a remarkable yet ultimately heart-wrenching odyssey.
Robertas life was forever changed by the devastating impact of being a victim of Gary Ridgway, a serial killer notorious for his heinous crimes, earning him the moniker "Green River Killer". This fateful encounter marked the beginning of a sequence of unfortunate events that would ultimately lead to her premature and tragic demise.
Roberta's most recent appearance was on February 7th, 1987, following her release from the custody of the Portland, Oregon, Police Department, where she had been detained for engaging in prostitution. It was widely assumed that she would be returning to Seattle, a city that would ultimately harbor a mysterious and ominous secret for her, one that would forever change the trajectory of her life.
More than four years after her initial disappearance, Roberta's destiny was irreparably altered on September 11, 1991, when a Washington State Parks employee made a heart-wrenching discovery, stumbling upon her skeletal remains at the terminus of a desolate dirt road, a bleak find that would ultimately bring a sense of finality to the enigmatic circumstances surrounding her vanishing act.
