Details of Disappearance:
A woman named Herr vanished from a group home in Gresham, Oregon, in June 1976. Because she often ran away, nobody reported her missing.

Years later, in 1986, forest workers found some human remains—a skull, bones, and a tooth—near Mount Hood. These remains weren’t identified until 2019.

Using new DNA technology and family history research, police linked the Mount Hood remains to Herr. They contacted her sisters, who confirmed her identity.

The police are now asking anyone with information about Herr’s disappearance to come forward so they can figure out what happened to her.
