Details of Disappearance

McClary was last seen at approximately 8:45 p.m. on August 4, 1995. Her nephew had seen her hitchhiking, picked her up, and droppedĀ her off near the Jesco Club at west 3rd Avenue and Blair Street in the Whiteaker neighborhood of Eugene, Oregon.

She told her nephew she planned to attend a recovery meeting at the Jesco Club, but he thought, based on her heavy makeup and her clothes, that she was actually planning to work; she was a sex worker. She never arrived at the recovery meeting. She was supposed to meet her friends later that evening and did not, and also missed a formal appointment the next day. She has never been heard from again.

McClary was well-known and well-liked in the Whiteaker neighborhood in 1995. She had gotten involved with drugs in high school, got clean for a time, and began using again in the early 1980s after the death of her father. She had a pet cocker spaniel whom she took almost everywhere with her, whether she was living on the streets or with friends or in motels. She would send the dog to stay with relatives if she had to be in jail, rehab or anywhere else that didn't allow dogs.

She had a warrant out for her arrest at the time of her disappearance, but she had no history of running from the law, and she was scheduled to enter an inpatient drug treatment program which she had sought out herself. She had told her family she was tired of the life she was living, and her family does not believe she accidentally overdosed or left of her own accord.

McClary had told her sister that she had a date with a man on the night of her disappearance. She was nervous because her date was young. This man has never been identified and is considered a person of interest in her disappearance. McClary's disappearance is considered very suspicious and foul play is suspected in her case. It remains unsolved.
