Skull Fragment Solves 40-Year Cold Case

A skull fragment found in Chelan County after a May discovery has been identified as Patricia Colyer, who vanished from Tacoma in 1986. Despite a massive search involving K9 units and emergency teams, only the partial cranium was recovered. DNA from a relative matched the remains, confirming her identity at age 38 — but the cause of death remains undetermined. The case, now cold, has been handed to Tacoma PD, who are urging anyone with information to come forward. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
