And looking at the evidence again... Film calls from 1988.
might give the old investigation new momentum.
There were opportunities for forensic analysis that were not available in 1988.
Debbie Atrops was last seen alive on Tuesday, November 29, 1988.
Bob Atrops called the Tigard, Oregon police that night at 9.40 p.m.
Bob told the dispatcher Debbie hadn't shown up after an appointment in Tigard, about eight miles from his house, at a hair salon called Razzmatazz.
It would probably be easier for you to make a run down her path, you know, how she would go, than it would be for us.
Bob says he drove the route and saw no sign of Debbie.
He called Tigard police back at 10.25 p.m.
Well, I think we give it about another hour, and if you haven't heard anything, you can call down.
Bob did call back a third time at 11.29 p.m.
It's real foggy out, but they have checked around the area.
Did you go to Rasmus' house and see if her car was there at all?
There's no friends or anything she might have gone to visit?
But the one call Bob did not make that night was to Debbie.
The dispatcher suggested Bob call the Washington County Sheriff, which he did at 11.34 p.m., and they opened a missing persons case the next morning.
But Debbie Atrops would not be a missing person for long.
Washington County Sheriff's Detective Michael O'Connell remembers responding to the scene when Debbie's car was found.
The license plates had been taken off.
