Doing some other research, I recently became VERY aware of the number of missing women from Oregon who disapeared from towns around the I-5 corridor, including 8 since 1978 from Eugene (or within 10 miles of Eugene).
Many of the cases seem to share similarities, and it's clear that not all of them could be related to the Green River Killer (some too early, some too late, only one suspected of engaging in prostitution).
I hope some of you have done more reserach on this and can offer your thoughts.
Here are the cases I've found.
Benita Chamberlin (1761DFOR) missing February 23, 1978, Eugene, OR

Joan Hall (1413DFOR) Missing September 30, 1983, Clatsop, OR (somewhat off of the I-5 corridor, but included anyway)

Leigh Bosch (see NAMPN) missing December 27, 2001, the Dalles, OR (off I-5 on I-84 a few hours from I-5)
Hazel Chamblen (see NAMPN) missing October 20, 2000, Winston, OR

Wendy Dehoop (NCIC M-024845120) missing April 22, 2005, Eugene, OR
This list is not complete. For one thing, it does not include men, many of whom are also missing from the Eugene or I-5 area.
Also not included are:
Barbara Gallagher (120DFOR) suspect is husband
Christie Ferni (706DFOR) family suspected
Annalycia Cruz (1022DFOR) only a baby at the time
Rachanda Pickle (146DFOR) family suspected
brooke Wilberger (NCMA 989410) suspect charged
Barbara Waldron (NAMPN) husband suspected
Catherine Wallace (NAMPN) husband suspected
I've also not included children who were listed as family abductions.
I know that all of these cases are not related, but the sheer number shocks me for a state that has considerably less violent crime than other states.
What do you think?
If you want a nice place to compare the case files, try

It has most of the files.
