Asking for Public's Help in Clatsop Co. Oregon Cold Case (Astoria: home, camping)

[Dena Denise]

As we move into the summer of 2008, it is nearing the 25th anniversary of the disappearance of Joan Leigh Hall (Joanie). She disappeared on 30 September 1983 from downtown Warrenton in Clatsop, County Oregon. She needs to be found.

I am asking people who live in Clatsop Co, Oregon or people who will be visiting the area, to please be vigilant. Particularly if you are hiking or camping in Clatsop County. While camping or hiking or exploring please your eyes open for things out of the ordinary.
Tattered , rotted remains of any cloth, books etc sticking out of the ground or partially exposed.

Bones that are partially exposed.

I think you get the general idea.

Areas in particular to be vigilant at are Fort Stevens State Park (Especially Swash Lake Area inside Ft Stevens) & abandoned tree farms in Clatsop Co (such as Sigurdsons). But of course , it is important to keep your eyes open in all areas of Clatsop Co.

If you come across anything such as I have described above please do not touch but call 911 immediately & report that you believe you may have found items pertaining to the Joan Leigh Hall case. If you need to leave the area please mark it first & take note of your surroundings before doing so. If for some reason 911 Dispatch brushes you off or does not take your concerns seriously , call back. If you still are not able to get your concerns addressed please feel free to call me day or night at (360)258-0403 & leave your contact info & I will take action immediately.

No child should remain missing for 25 years. So we need to do all we can to find her in order to bury her next to her beloved parents with the dignity that she deserves. That all human beings deserve.

If we all work together we CAN find this child & make sure that Joanie Hall receives justice. God has sent on this journey to find Joanie Hall & bring her justice. I never met this girl but nevertheless her destiny is somehow linked to my own. She has become part of me. As such, she is "family" now. And I will not stop until she is found & receives justice.

If we all work together, we can bring this girl home after almost one quarter of a century.



Thank you.
