A missing persons flier for a young woman named Cathy Carter was included in an article about the missing women in Seattle published by Evergreen State College’s newspaper (which is where Donna Gail Manson went to school). I inquired with the Thurston County Sheriff’s department about Cathy in November 2024, and they said they had no information on her. After some minor investigating I learned that she wasn’t gone for very long, and returned home, got married, and lives near Vancouver, WA.
