Oregon is known as the Wild, Wild West because of its rugged landscapes, untamed wilderness, and a long history of frontier independence. From the early days of pioneers braving the Oregon Trail to the present-day spirit of self-reliance found in rural communities, the state’s reputation for wildness is rooted in both its geography and the people who call it home. But Oregon is also known as a place where bad things can happen—and a region notorious for how easy it can be to hide or bury secrets in its vast wilderness. The sheer size and remoteness of its forests, mountains, and rural areas have made it a setting for both mystery and misdeed. The shady forests of the Santiam Wilderness, where Tammy’s car was found, are infamous for murders that have occurred along Highway 20. Stories of violence and disappearance haunt this stretch of road, adding to the region’s dark reputation.

To be fair, in this arena of speculation and accusation, starting with the spouse is just where any investigation has to begin. It's basic 101 investigating—statistically, the spouse or domestic partner is always the first person of interest. That’s not bias; it’s experience and evidence. But this does not mean we are fixated on one person or that we are ignoring other possibilities.

So this is why—and where—we'll start with Tammy's husband at the time she went missing, Reese Pitkin. His relationship with Tammy, their history, and the circumstances leading up to her disappearance are all crucial to understanding what might have happened. As we move forward, we'll take a closer look at Reese and the role he may have played in this investigation.

Confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias in which people tend to seek out, interpret, and remember information in ways that confirm their existing beliefs or opinions. This means that individuals are more likely to notice and give weight to evidence that supports their existing views, while ignoring or downplaying evidence that contradicts them.

Confirmation bias in a criminal investigation occurs when investigators, consciously or unconsciously, focus on evidence that supports their initial theory or suspect, while overlooking or dismissing evidence that might contradict it. This can lead to errors in judgment, wrongful convictions, and miscarriages of justice.

Profiling the Timeline:

There are a few key elements in the rest of Tammy’s timeline that we need to bring to the surface. Highlighting these moments will provide deeper insight into her story and help us understand the sequence of events more clearly as we continue.

This episode will primarily serve as an overview of the timeline. We’ll move through key events in sequence, providing a broad understanding of how the story unfolds. Then we will revisit and profile specific moments or periods that warrant deeper exploration, ensuring we spend time on the most significant parts of the timeline.

The Timeline - Part One. Establishing a timeline is one of the most important first steps in any missing person case. The timeline helps investigators, search teams, and the public understand the sequence of events, identify critical time windows, and spot inconsistencies or leads. Most missing persons cases are solved by focusing on core theories built from the timeline, which is tested and either eliminated or confirmed as evidence emerges. Each case is unique, and sometimes, the truth is unexpected or a combination of factors.

Welcome to episode one, ‘Uncovering Tammy’—a crowd-solved podcast where we work together to unravel the story of a woman whose life was full of love, compassion, and secrets. I’m your host, Alex Rogue, and in this first episode, we begin our journey with uncovering Tammy."

Tammy was a loving friend, a devoted mother, and a passionate dog lover. To everyone who knew her, she was a source of warmth and support. But on a sunny October day in Oregon, 2022, everything changed. Tammy disappeared without a trace, leaving her family, friends, and community searching for answers.

In this episode, we meet Tammy through her sister, Airaka, who shares childhood memories and the pressures Tammy faced—pressures she kept hidden behind a bright smile.

As we begin to piece together Tammy’s story, we quickly realize that her life wasn’t as perfect as it appeared. The mystery of Tammy’s disappearance is more than a case—it’s the story of a woman and her family whose silence speaks volumes.

Join me as we start this investigation, follow the clues, and invite you—our fierce crowd-solving warriors—to help us seek the truth.
