Unknown. Pickle was last seen at her home in Sweet Home, Oregon on
July 10, 1990 at 10:00 a.m., watching television. She has never been heard from again. Her mother was at work at the time of her disappearance. Pickle's stepfather, John Ackroyd (photo at right) is the last person known to have seen her. He said he came home during a break from work and asked Pickle if she wanted to accompany him to his job at the Oregon Highway Patrol. She said no, and he left. When he returned to the house, Pickle had vanished. Foul play is suspected in her disappearance, and Ackroyd is a prime suspect in her case. He is currently serving five life sentences for the unrelated murder of Kaye Jean Turner, who was abducted and murdered in 1978. He is also a suspect in the deaths of two other young women; however, Ackroyd has not been charged in connection with Pickles' disappearance. Her case remains unsolved. |
