Oregon Police Appeal For Public’s Help in Solving 1992 Cold Case
The disappearance of Patricia Lynn Swanberg is under fresh scrutiny.
Police in the Oregon city of Corvallis have appealed for the public’s help in solving the disappearance of a 34-year-old woman that took place in 1992.
Patricia Lynn Swanberg was reported missing by her employer at a home for the elderly when she failed to show up for work on August 12th that year. She had last been seen by a co-worker when she left the same building to use a payphone outside on August 10th.
An intensive investigation was quickly begun by detectives at Corvallis Police Department and other law enforcement agencies, and they undertook canine searches and questioned everyone they could who might have had a connection to Patricia.
Shortly afterwards, Patricia’s car was found unlocked and abandoned downtown with her purse and personal items still inside, although there are no reports of a struggle inside the vehicle.
Little has been made public about the circumstances of this case, but Patricia’s family disclosed that she was in an abusive relationship before she disappeared and had a restraining order against her ex-husband, Clarence ‘CJ’ Pursifull.
