In the small town of Concrete, Washington, the holiday season of 1992 was marked by the quiet and unsettling disappearance of 49-year-old Arlene Norma Stewart. A resident of Van Horn Road, just outside the town, Arlene was last seen around Christmas Eve. Some accounts state she was known to be at her home around noon on December 21, 1992, and raised concern when she failed to appear for work the following day. Other sources mark the date of her last contact as December 24, 1992. In a deeply concerning turn of events, Arlene seemingly walked away from her residence, leaving her vehicle and other personal belongings behind. This detail suggested to investigators that she did not intend to be gone for a long period. At the time she went missing, Arlene was described as a white female, standing 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds. She had graying brown, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. She wore eyeglasses with rose-colored plastic frames. When she was last seen, it is believed she was wearing a brown mock-suede jacket, a long-sleeved blouse, slacks or jeans, and tennis shoes. The circumstances surrounding her walking away from her home on or around Christmas Eve have left her family and the community with decades of unanswered questions. The Skagit County Sheriff's Office opened an investigation into Arlene's disappearance, but the case has yielded few clues over the years. Despite extensive search and rescue efforts, no trace of Arlene has ever been found. Authorities have stated that they do not believe she vanished voluntarily and have classified her case as an endangered missing person. The lack of significant leads has been a consistent and frustrating reality for investigators. Her case is now considered one of the oldest unsolved missing persons cases in the area. The investigation officially remains open with the Skagit County Sheriff's Office, a silent testament to a life interrupted and a community still waiting for answers.
