The Sales Call: The Unsolved Disappearance of Katie Eggleston

A Simpler Time True Crime

On a hot summer day in 1993, recent college graduate Katie was making sales calls in downtown Portland, Oregon. It was her first day working solo after weeks of training and shadowing. She finished her morning calls and was on her way to her afternoon appointments—appointments she never made it to. When her car was found abandoned in an industrial lot, investigators explored several theories, including that she may have left on her own. But the disappearance of another woman a decade later made police wonder if the two cases were connected and if Katie had been the victim of foul play all along, something her family believed from the very beginning.
