Summary

On August 1, 2018, 28-year-old Samantha Sayers was ready for an adventure. An experienced hiker, Sam decided to drive two hours away from her Seattle home and tackle Vesper’s Peak. The hike was supposed to only be a day trip, so when darkness fell with no word from Samantha, her boyfriend, Kevin Dare grew concerned.

Worried that she was injured, he drove out to the trail. But instead of his girlfriend, he found only her empty car. What happened next was the largest search and rescue operation in Washington State history. When Samantha wasn’t found quickly, rumors began to swirl, with people wondering if there was more to the story than a woman who simply got lost.

If you have information regarding the disappearance of Samantha Sayers, please contact the Snohomish County Sheriff at 425-388-3393.
