In the early afternoon of June 16, 1984, 29-year-old Susan Marie Cooke was enjoying a day on the Cle Elum River in Washington with six other people. The group was navigating the river in a canoe and a raft when both small watercraft capsized in rough waters. While the other six boaters were successfully rescued from the turbulent river, Susan tragically disappeared. It is believed she was swept under a logjam in the water and was never seen again. Susan was described as a white female with brown hair. She had a distinctive physical characteristic, which was a cleft lip. At the time of her disappearance, she was between 5'2" and 5'6" tall and weighed between 110 and 140 pounds. The incident occurred in Kittitas County, and the local sheriff's office has been handling the investigation into her disappearance. Despite the immediate rescue of her companions, search efforts to locate Susan were unsuccessful. Her body has never been recovered, and she is presumed to have drowned in the river. The case is classified as lost or injured missing. The traumatic event on the Cle Elum River that day left family and friends with unanswered questions and the enduring pain of not knowing what happened to Susan. The overview of the case is a sad tale of a recreational outing that turned into a tragedy, leaving a lasting void for those who knew and loved Susan Cooke.
