- Details of Disappearance:
- On August 2, 1993, 22-year-old Amy Eggleston disappeared from Portland, Oregon. It was her first day working alone as a salesperson. She spent the day making sales calls around the city, including a stop at the Port of Portland building. Witnesses there said she seemed worried. Around 2:15 pm, she was seen leaving the building with an unidentified man in a blue blazer.
Later that day, her car – a silver/gray Volkswagen Golf – was seen parked near the Port of Portland. She never showed up for a meeting with her supervisor. Her car was found abandoned the next day, unlocked, with her purse and belongings inside, but her work materials were missing. There were no signs of a struggle.
Police suspect foul play. A man named Joel Patrick Courtney is considered a possible suspect. He has a long criminal history, including the 2004 kidnapping, rape, and murder of Brooke Wilberger. Both Eggleston and Wilberger were young women with blonde hair and blue eyes. While there’s no direct evidence linking Courtney to Eggleston’s disappearance, he’s a person of interest because of the similarities in the cases. The case remains unsolved.
