Hello everybody. Big thank you to April for recommending today's case. Yes, thank you so much April.

And today's case takes place in Wyoming in the late 90s and it's actually believed by some to possibly be connected to another case that we have covered on this show.

So thank you again to April and thank you everybody for tuning in today. Do you have anything for us?

No, I don't have any further announcement. Well, let's get to it.

All right guys, this is episode 311 of Going West. So let's get into it.

In July of 1997, a 24 year old woman went missing during a solo jog in the Wyoming mountains.

Last spotted at a local Photoshop in her town. Employees remember her being in a hurry to get somewhere.

But after that, she was never seen again.

This is the story of Amy Bechtol.

Amy Joy Roe was born on August 4th, 1972 in beautiful Santa Barbara, California to parents Joanne and Dwayne.

And she was the youngest of four kids, joining a brother named Nell's and sisters Kasey and Jenny.

When she was young, the family relocated to Wyoming, which really seemed to suit Amy's love of the outdoors and adventure.

And there she enjoyed a very close relationship with each of her siblings.

Like when her brother Nell's got married, he had his three sisters as his best man, which is so sweet, I mean that's just how close they were.

Amy's mom Joanne describes childhood Amy as, quote, quiet and goal-oriented, and she was gifted and a hardworking student.

In high school, Amy found her passion for athletics in addition to her academic endeavors when she joined the track team.

She quickly became one of her school's best endurance runners and began fostering a passion that she would have for the rest of her life.

For college, Amy settled on the University of Wyoming at Laramie, which is in a lively college town, and it's the third largest city in the state.

There, while studying exercise physiology, her running career soared, and she quickly became the fastest runner in the history of her school

when she was ranked first in the 3000 meter dash, clocking in at nine minutes and 48 seconds.

She also completed a marathon in just three hours and one minute.
