Nancy Kareen Moyer, a 36-year-old financial analyst for the State of Washington, disappeared on March 6, 2009, after stopping at a grocery store in Tenino, WA. She was found missing from her home two days later with her car, wallet, and IDs still present, the front door ajar, and personal items like a glass of wine left on the coffee table—suggesting an unexpected departure.
