Last Seen After Missing The Bus
- Misty Copsey missed the last bus from the Puyallup fair on Sept 17, 1992 and called her mother from a pay phone at 8:45 PM asking for a ride.
- Her mother refused Ruben as a driver and never heard from Misty again that night.
Runaway Label Stalled Investigation
- Local police quickly labeled Misty a runaway and publicly discouraged searches, which stalled the official investigation.
- That early framing and conflicting jurisdiction between Puyallup PD and Pierce County hindered timely investigative work.
Vigilante Searcher Finds Clothing
- Corey Bober, a self-appointed investigator obsessed with the Green River Killer, contacted Misty's mother and organized searches off Highway 410.
- His publicity drew attention and led to discovery of Misty's jeans months later near the road.
