PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Officials in Lincoln County are asking the public for new information on the murder of a teenage girl which has gone unsolved for over 40 years.

On March 9, 1984, authorities said 17-year-old Kelly Disney was reported missing after being last seen walking eastbound on Highway 20 near U.S. 101 in Newport.

In July 1994, over 10 years after her disappearance, Disney’s skull was found in an abandoned vehicle near Big Creek Reservoir outside of Newport.

Her death was ruled a homicide after officials said, “It appeared her skull had recently been placed at that location.”

The Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office said they have reason to believe members of the community have information in the investigation and are encouraging them to come forward.

Information can be submitted anonymously at (541) 265-0069 or online at FindKellyDisney@co.lincoln.or.us

“If you knew Kelly or heard about her disappearance, we want to hear from you,” the Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release. “Whether you experienced something firsthand or heard information thirdhand, that information is valuable. No matter how insignificant you feel the information might be, we still want to hear from you.”
