CLARKSTON, Wash. -- The family of a missing Clarkston woman says Rachel Anderson, 40, was stalked for weeks by an unknown caller to her cell phone.
Clarkston Police believe Anderson's disappearance is suspicious. She was reported missing on April 19. For the Anderson family, they say each day is an emotional struggle as the search drags on.
Clarkston Police are combing through Rachel Anderson's cell phone records hoping to find clues about her disappearance. The last time anyone saw her was the evening of Friday, April 16. Detectives traveled to Moscow, Idaho and searched a building where Anderson was last seen.
Detectives were in touch with Anderson well before she disappeared because she had filed several harassment complaints with police. Her family says for months someone was texting her strange messages, calling her, and then hanging up. They fear who ever was harassing her, kidnapped her.
"She was confused, scared, didn't know who it was," Anderson's daughter, Amber Griswold told KREM 2 News. "She was very afraid for her life, we had many conversations where we talking about how this could end in her death."
Anderson's white, 1997 GMC Yukon was found last week at a bus stop behind the Dyna gas station in North Lewiston. Police found her phone over the weekend, but there has been no sign of her since. Out of town relatives have flown in from as far away as Wisconsin to pass out fliers and posters with Anderson's picture, hoping someone has seen her. Her sister is praying for the best, but worries Anderson is hurt.
Anderson lived in Clarkston with her two young sons. Her family is asking that the farmers and large landowners keep an eye out for her. They are hoping to set up a cash reward for information on the case.
Anderson is 5'4", 125 pounds with brown hair and black eyes.
