Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP7276) and 1 other source
In the spring of 1992, a 32-year-old woman named Sue Ellen Walker vanished from the city of Seattle, Washington. The last confirmed sighting of her was on March 13th of that year. At the time she went missing, Sue, a white female with brown hair and green eyes, stood at five feet six inches tall and weighed approximately 110 pounds. A distinctive feature she had was a brightly colored tattoo of a bird on her right shoulder. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance were complicated by the fact that she did not have a permanent address, which contributed to a significant delay in her being reported as missing.

It was several years after anyone had last heard from her that Sue Ellen Walker's family grew concerned and officially reported her missing. This passage of time created considerable challenges for the investigation from the very beginning. With no fixed residence, tracking her last movements and identifying potential associates proved to be an arduous task for the Seattle Police Department. Information about her life and the specific events leading up to March 13, 1992, remains scarce, leaving a void where crucial details should be. It is known that she sometimes used the last name Groger.

The investigation into Sue Ellen Walker's disappearance is still open, managed by the Seattle Police Department. In an effort to generate new leads and potentially identify her through forensic means, a significant step was taken when her son provided a DNA sample to be entered into national databases. This allows for comparison with unidentified remains that may be discovered. Despite these efforts, her case has seen little progress over the decades, and what happened to Sue Ellen Walker after March 13, 1992, is still unknown. The lack of information has left her family without answers and her case a lingering mystery.
