AGE PROGRESSED

Name: Kaelin Rose Glazier
Place: Ruch, Oregon
Born: May 1st, 1981
Description: White Female,
5' 6" (at disappearance),

Small scar below chin

On November 6, 1996, at approx 7:40 pm PST, Kaelin Glazier left the residence of Billy Frank Simmons en route to meet her mother at a nearby church in Ruch, Oregon, but never arrived there. Billy Frank Simmons, 18, of Ruch, is a person of “interest” as he was the last known person to see Kaelin before she disappeared. They're also looking for a car formerly owned by Barbara Simmons -- a gold 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass with Oregon license QEC 803.

Kaelin Glazier was last seen wearing a long-sleeved olive green-colored sweater over a short-sleeved gray t-shirt. The t-shirt bore an emblem on it. She also had on light-colored tennis shoes (possibly Keds), two hair clips, and a necklace. She was wearing silver hoop earrings. The lower picture on the left shows how she might look today.

She disappeared after visiting Simmons at his grandparents' home at 100 Johnson Road in Ruch. Kaelin was 15 at the time and a sophomore at South Medford High School.

A brief history of the case

* Nov. 6, 1996 — Kaelin Rose Glazier, a 15-year-old sophomore at South Medford High School, disappears while walking several blocks from her rural Ruch home to a youth group meeting at Applegate Christian Fellowship. She had stopped to visit a friend and was last seen heading down Haven Road to Highway 238. When she didn't arrive at church or home that night, her mother, Kimberly Cruz, called the Jackson County Sheriff's Department to report her missing. Officials first suspect she might be a runaway.

* November 1996 — The family and volunteers join the sheriff's department and Oregon State Police in combing the hillsides and ditches. The family hires a private investigator. They can't find her or any clear evidence that indicates whether she ran away or met with foul play, news reports at the time said. The Polly Klass Foundation in California and the Heidi Search Foundation based in Texas and Found Kids Foundation provide help.

* December 1996 — The Jackson County Major Crime Team takes up the case as concerns mount.

* May 14, 1997 — A national direct-mail marketing company sends out fliers, following family efforts to distribute information via truckers and local posters.

* Aug. 11, 1997 — Cruz talks about the case on a Geraldo Rivera television talk show special on missing children. She also appears on Maury Povich's and Montel Williams' shows in the first year after Kaelin's disappearance.

* Jan. 18, 1999 — Investigators identify Billy Frank Simmons, a Ruch teenager who was the last known person to see Kaelin alive, as a "person of interest" in the case, which detectives fear might be getting stagnant.

* Nov. 6, 2000 — On the fourth anniversary of Kaelin's disappearance, local and national law enforcement officials put out another public call for clues. They have followed more than 500 leads in the case and have used search teams, dogs, volunteers, aircraft and psychics to seek evidence, with no results. Foul play is suspected.

* June 26, 2003 — The Carole Sund/Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation, an organization linked to three tourists who disappeared and were found murdered near Yosemite National Park in 1999, offers a $5,000 reward for information about Kaelin.

* July 31, 2003 — The case is featured on "Without a Trace," a CBS drama about an FBI team that tracks missing people. Each episode includes a segment about an actual case.

Glazier mystery focuses on killer

The investigation continues into the murder of Kaelin Rose Glazier, whose remains were found Tuesday in Ruch nearly 12 years after she went missing, and no arrests have been made.

Jackson County Sheriff's Office investigators are taking care to build a strong case against whomever might have killed the South Medford High School sophomore.

Glazier was last seen Nov. 6, 1996, walking from a friend's house on Haven Road, where she had spent the night, to Applegate Christian Fellowship, where she was going to meet her mother. She was only a couple of blocks from the church and just a block from her home.

"This case has become a top priority for us," said Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters. "We are going to give it our full attention until we bring it to a conclusion."

Investigators feel they have a suspect in 28-year-old Billy Frank Simmons, who was reportedly the last person to see Glazier alive.
