In the last thread I posted articles about numerous abduction attempts within 30 minutes of Olympia of young teen girls. Then I found these four missing teens, all since spring of this year, also all but one was in about the same/little larger radius to Olympia. All four of them are listed as endangered runaways. Similar physical descriptions....
I don't think that the runaways you listed are connected to Lindsey's case (just my opinion) but I do think that you have something as far as the possibility some of the "runaways" are connected. I had noticed quite a few bodies of teenagers were found in Enumclaw, not far from Tacoma. It occured to me it could be a dumping ground for a predator. The website link is:

Here are some of the victims:
1. Anna Lee Chebetnoy, 14, of Puyallup, found Sept. 17, 1991, off Highway 410 east of Enumclaw. Last seen in Puyallup. Found near where a Sumner teenager's remains discovered in 1990.
2. Remains of woman found Sept. 11, 1991, 10 miles east of Enumclaw near Highway 410. Remains were of woman with African-American characteristics. Stood 4 feet 11 inches to 5 feet 2. Was 17 to 24-years-old. Had been dead at least two years.
3. Marta Reeves, 37, of Bothell. Found Sept. 20, 1990, eight miles east of Enumclaw off Highway 410. Believed to have disappeared from Seattle, where she had been arrested twice for prostitution. **not a teen..but suspicious because of being dumped in same area**
4. Kimberly DeLange, 15, of Sumner found Aug. 20, 1988, east of Enumclaw off Highway 410, where Chebetnoy was found this September. Last seen at Puyallup shopping center.
Kimberly and Anna were from Sumner and Puyallup which are towns not far from each other (15-20 minute drive) and you go through Puyallup and Sumner to get to hiway 410, where the bodies were found.
These victims are also interesting because although they were found very close to where they disappeared, they were from the Tacoma area, which is also close to Puyallup and Sumner.
5. Shannon L. Pease, 15, of Tacoma. Found April 4, 1988, in field in Lakewood. Believed to have disappeared April 3, 1988, from Ponders Corner in Tacoma area.
6. Jennifer Bastian, 13, of Tacoma, found Aug. 28, 1986, in Point Defiance Park, where had been riding bicycle when she disappeared Aug. 4, 1986. Police believe think she was a victim of a serial killer who also murdered Michella Welch.
7. Denise L. Sallee, 17, of Pierce County. Found partly buried in Parkland on March 29, 1986. Disappeared from Tacoma shopping-mall bowling alley Jan. 24, 1986.
8. Michella Welch, 12, of Tacoma. Disappeared March 26, 1986, while playing with younger sisters at Tacoma's Puget Park. Body found the same evening. (doesn't say where body was found, I am assuming it must of been close to where she disappeared because of how quickly she was found. Either way, it was a hasty disposal)
Due to the close proximity of disappearance location and body discovery as well as victim age, this victim might be related to the ones above as well:
9. Debbie Gonzales, 14, of Auburn found Sept. 26, 1987, in woods off Auburn-Black Diamond Highway west of Black Diamond. No obvious cause of death.
If these are connected, it looks like a serial killer who was relatively "new" in 1986 and was acting on impulse and disposing of the bodies just as carelessly. Then, between Jennifer Bastian in April, 1988 and Kim DeLange, August 1988, began getting more careful with the body disposal by taking them to a more remote location. (Enumclaw and Black Diamond) Enumclaw and Black Diamond are directly connected via hiway 169, which also takes you to hiway 410. 410 runs West to East. You would use hiway 410 to get to Enumclaw from the Tacoma area. 410 runs through to Yakima.
This is all just speculation and like I said, probably has nothing to do with Lindsey. Mods, please feel free to move this post if you feel it doesn't belong here. I still think the information is valuable to some missing person case so hopefully you will move rather than delete it.
Thanks :blowkiss:
