Details of Disappearance:: On February 13, 2005, a woman named Sykes disappeared from her home in Rathdrum, Idaho. Her husband left for the grocery store and came back to find her gone. She’d left her wedding ring, purse, and everything else behind. Sykes was upset when she disappeared and often drank a lot. While she wasn’t a serious criminal, she did have a warrant out for writing bad checks. Although she was known to be smart and capable, and had left home before (always returning quickly), her family is worried because she’s been gone much longer than usual and hasn’t contacted them. The police haven’t solved the mystery of her disappearance.
Agency:: Rathdrum Police Department 208-687-0711
