Police hope to find clues in computer records
Hood River, Ore. - Police are checking the computer records of a missing Hood River woman to see if her Internet use may have somehow led to her disappearance.
Friends say 48-year-old Kim Forbes had been known to chat with people online, which is how she met her most recently known boyfriend a couple of years ago.
Police say that relationship ended amicably and the boyfriend has a solid alibi for the weekend that Forbes disappeared.
Forbes was last seen by her teenage daughter at their home in Hood River two weeks ago.
According to those who know the woman, Forbes is very reliable and was in good spirits before her disappearance.
Police are perplexed by the disappearance as well.
"There isn't anything to indicate that it (her disappearance) is intentional," said Chief Deputy Dwayne Troxel with the Hood River Sheriff's Office. "It would have to be pretty elaborate - I mean, months of preparation. But there is no credit card activity and no checking account activity."
Forbes' vehicle is also missing - a dark red 2000 Ford Explorer with Oregon license plate number XTB 679. The trailer hitch has a silhouette of a pig on it.
As for Forbes, she is described as 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighs 200 pounds and has blue eyes with brown hair and some graying.
Anyone who has information about Forbes or her vehicle is urged to call the Hood River County Sheriff's Office at (541) 386-2711.
