Circumstances of Disappearance

Ann Ellinwood was last seen April 15, 1978, in Pioneer Park in Corvallis. On Saturday April 15, 1978 Ann Ellinwood disappeared while participating in Corvallis' March of Dimes walk-a-thon. She was a seventh-grader at Highland View Junior High at the time. The course took walkers along a bike path by the Marys River. At about 13.00, Ann, complaining that her foot hurt, told her two friends to go on without her; she would head to a checkpoint at Gill Coliseum. She was last seen on the path near the Pioneer Park ball field, just across Highway 34 from the coliseum.

At 17:15, Ann's parents reported her missing after she failed to return home.

Witnesses described seeing a red pickup pulling a trailer near the area where Ann was last seen.

A suspect, and known sex offender was brought in and questioned by police, but he committed suicide a week later stalling the investigation.
