The Mysterious Disappearance of Tammy Pitkin

Law enforcement has requested Tammy’s dental records for comparison according to an unnamed source.   It is unconfirmed if a body has been found.

Tammy was last seen on October 15, 2022, making a purchase at a convenience store in Glendale, Oregon. By October 16, she had made a reservation at a hotel, but her movements in the hours leading up to this remain unknown.  At the time of her disappearance, Tammy was with her dogs: a Jack Russell terrier and a small white dog named Trooper.  Tammy has not been seen by her family since October 14, 2022.  On October 26, she was officially reported missing.  On October 29, a hunter near Sweet Home, Oregon, discovered Tammy’s gray Toyota Camry on a remote U.S. Forest Service road off Highway 20.

It’s believed that Tammy’s car had been in that location since October 17, based on the gas level in the tank and the condition of the dirt and snow surrounding the vehicle.

Linn County Detective Sergeant Paul Eves, who is leading the investigation, reported that multiple search teams, including K-9 units, have combed the area for any trace of Tammy.  The search continues, and new tips are being investigated as they emerge.

Inside the car, authorities found Tammy’s personal belongings, including her purse, identification, passport, and medication. Also inside the vehicle were leashes for her dogs, an overnight bag with toiletries, a gun, and two Home Depot moving boxes containing clothes and shoes.

Investigators confirmed that Tammy had no known connections to the Linn County area, and despite extensive searches, no signs of her have been found.

Tammy is described as 5’4” tall, weighing around 160 pounds, with blond hair and hazel eyes. She has an L-shaped scar on her forehead.

Trooper was found not far from where Tammy’s car had been discovered about 3 months later.  Trooper was running along Highway 20.
