A 15-year-old girl had an argument with her father about her grades. It’s a scene parents all over the world are likely familiar with, and one that is usually forgotten in a day or two. But when Katya Lyne had this argument with her father, Pat, on March 21, 1997, it ended in tragedy. Within days, Katya was missing, and her father was dead. The Lyne family’s world was completely turned upside down.

Though police believed Katya was a runaway, they couldn’t be sure that she hadn’t met with foul play. Nearly 30 years later, Katya’s sister, Tracy, believes her sister is still out there and still wants her to come home.

Anyone with information regarding Katya Lyne's disappearance can call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s 24-hour hotline at 800-843-5678, or the Federal Way Police Department at 253-835-6700.
