12 ottob 1976 anni - Patricia Anne Tigard

Descrizione:

On Tuesday, October 12, 1976, Caltrans employees working in a construction zone 4mi east of Gasquet, CA discovered the body of a white female adjacent to Highway 199.

On Friday, October 15, the Del Norte County Sheriff's Department announced that the body had been identified through dental charts as that of Patricia Anne Tigard, an 18-year-old white girl who lived in the Crescent City area. She had disappeared in the first week of October. Her FindAGrave page lists her date of death as October 1, 1976.

Patricia's body was badly decomposed when found. An autopsy was conducted on October 13, the day after she was found, and the results were made public the week of Friday, December 24, 1976. The official cause of death was undetermined.

Patricia's mother was Mary Eleanor Canon, who married Frank Robert "Bobby" Bergman in May 1949. They split at some point, and in about 1956 Eleanor (she went by her middle name) married Beverley Finley Tigard; it was Beverley's second marriage as well. Together they had Patricia. Eleanor and Beverley separated by 1961, when Beverley married a woman named Virginia Pirrone/Garcia; he possibly also remarried again in 1968, then again to a woman named Bertie L Frye in 1975.

Patricia's mother Mary Eleanor Canon had passed away in 1970. According to the aforementioned Ancestry profile, it seems that Patricia had an infant son at the time of her death. Beverley Finley Tigard died in 2002.

On October 6, 2019, the Lost Girl's Blog posted an article about Tamara Lee Tigard, fka "Lime Lady", who was found murdered in OK in April 1980, and went unidentified until January 2020. Tamara was born in CA in 1959 and later moved to Las Vegas. She was a veteran of the US Army. She went missing near her home in LV, and was found shot to death in OK. Tamara's parents passed away in the 2000s and her sister passed away in 2010. According to the Lost Girl's Blog, which updated the article upon Tamara's identification, the only people who could be notified of Tamara's identification were second cousins. It is unclear if Tamara is related to Patricia in any capacity, but it's interesting to note that Tamara was born in CA in 1959, while Patricia was born in ~1958 and was from CA, and they both have the same last name.

At 12:06am on April 16, 2021, a user under the name Tom Darby commented on the Lost Girl's Blog article. He stated, "I am researching this case as I know her second cousin. Oddly, her cousin and I have been researching another Tigard cold case. In 1976, Patricia Ann Tigard was found murdered along Hwy 199. I went to school with Patti and while I’m certain I know who her murderer is, I am not allowed to say legally."

Patricia is featured alongside Sherry Lynn Smith, Vicki Schneider, Karen Fischer, Susan Lori Dye, Janet Lee Bowman, Andrea DeLaRoute, Debbie Sloan, and others on the website for the amateur podcast Ghosts of the Lost Coast, which is about the crimes of suspected serial killer John Annibel.
