Heather Mallory, 32, Portland, Oregon, missing since 3/8/08

[Lirae]

This lady has been missing for about a week after leaving home during an argument with her husband.

Snipped information from KGW.COM below

On Friday, March 7, she attended school and worked her entire shift. After work, she spent the night socializing with friends and arrived home about 7:30 a.m. the next day.

“After she arrived home, she became involved in an argument with her husband. Heather reportedly left home to avoid further confrontation and has not been seen or heard from since,” said Sgt. Brian Schamutz, spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau.

Heather is married and the mother of one child.

Based on information obtained from family and friends, investigators believe it is highly unusual for Heather to remain out of contact.

She was described as professional and responsible in her work habits. Investigators have confirmed that there has been no electronic activity on any of her accounts. At this time, detectives have no evidence of foul play.

Heather was reportedly driving a bright red 2001 Ford Focus bearing Oregon license 061BZX. There is a black-colored bike rack on top of the car and a child seat in the back seat. Heather stands 5’5” and weighs 120 pounds.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1 or 503-823-0446.

She left her child behind? I wonder how old he/she is? I hope she's ok but it sure doesn't sound good.

She was out "all night socializing" with friends and returned to her child and husband the next morning???? I'm sure she did find herself in an argument! Speculating here, but I have a feeling this lady has a place to "shack up".....:chicken:

[Lirae]

Concered, while that might be the case, not many women would leave without accessing any atm's, cell phones, family, friends, and most of all their small child for more than a week.

I hate to say it, my opinion here, but I think you are very wrong. A person shacking up somewhere else would get in touch with family and at minimum acquire some funds at least once in a weeks time.

Oh, I understand your point, but for example, this didn't prove to be true with the young lady that went missing not to long ago....I can't remember her name, but she was the one that was found a week or so later with another guy? The one that left her car by a bridge where she was supposedly getting rid of some type of wedding gift? Did you happen to see that? She never contacted any of her family either....not her "husband", mother, father, or brother....noone for a week or more. Anu Solanki....that was her name...just found it....

Definitely a possibility.

My first reaction to the story was, oh, no, not another one and figured there was bout a 90% chance that the husband had killed her. I still wouldn’t be surprised if the husband is involved, but also wouldn’t be surprised if she ran off.

I wonder who reported her missing.

Also the Beth Smith case ... missing kindergarten teacher/mother of three/wife of preacher from Alabama. Responsible person. Missing for 3 months. No cell phone activity. Didn't contact friends or family. Didn't access bank accounts. She took a bus to NY and was found working there.

If her husband did it, I wonder where he could have disposed of her car. If her car was close by, you’d think it would be found by now.

Hoping Heather is home soon. I find it odd that her atm card, credit cards, etc. haven't been used, along with her car not being found.

I hate to think her husband is involved, but this reminds me of Brandi Laurent, whose husband (now arrested for her murder) said she left after an argument, and she had two kids, too. Her body has since been found.

[Kip]

These news reports leave so many unanswered questions.

Who reported Mallory missing?

The news report says Mallory has a 3-yr-old child. Is it Mallory’s and not her husband’s also, or is that careless writing?

Was the child at home when Mallory arrived home? Who cared for the child the rest of the weekend and during the week? (Three year olds can generally speak pretty well - I’m wondering what the child might have seen - I hope to God nothing awful.)

What does the husband do? When would he have had the opportunity to dispose of the car?

Very good questions, and almost no details of her disappearance are being reported.

[desmom]

She argued with her huband on Saturday March 8, but was not reported missing until March 12?

Didn't anyone notice she was missing?

[Lirae]

She's still missing, her husband made a plea for her return...I can't view it though, work blocking the feed for some reason. I didn't see it on the news - must have zonked out early.

[Lirae]

Has anyone heard anymore on this lady? I haven't seen anything locally for a bit now. I'm wondering why there isn't more work being done and openly reported.

I'm her best friend. I know that she wouldn't leave with out contacting her friends or getting back in touch with her friend soon. I'm just trusting that God is a big God. There are so many people praying for her right now. My trust is that He'll protect her and bring her back safely and soon.

Maybe....or maybe he just logged in and didn't update anything....I think my mood on myspace says "in love" from when I got married a few months ago - I haven't updated since....

That would make sense! I don't know much about myspace, I only created it to check out links posted here :seeya:

[msmom]

After reading the comment that was posted in the other forum, I am curious to know if she was out socializing alone or if her husband was with her.

Have any friends come forward to say that she was with them or they had seen her? Was her husband with her also?

If her husband was with her, who was babysitting and where? Did anyone see when she (or they) returned home?

After a night out and coming in at 7:30 in the morning I am sure she was tired...had she been drinking? Is it possible that she left in a frenzy and been in an accident somewhere?

So many questions.....however, I find it odd myself that noone has heard from her in three weeks. Not much coverage either.

msmom,

Based on the news reports it would appear it has been verified that Heather spent the night before her disappearance with friends.

We don't know who these friends are of what the nature of the "all night socializing" was. We also don't know if her husband knew she would be out all evening.

If he did not it is only natural they would argue. If this had happened to me I would be both angry and worried sick.

If we knew more about this marriage, as well as the nature of the evening out, we would have a better handle on what might have happened.

If foul play is involved it could be the husband, but it also could be someone she met.

[MystryPhobia]

I know what I am thinking happened to this woman.

Who goes out socializing with their friends all night and comes home to her husband.. gets in an arguement with him (probably about being out all night) and then leaves the home because of the fight and disappears into thin air... not to return for her child.. not to return for her career.. her home.. her money... etc?

I may be a skeptic when it comes to cases like this but.. I just don't think there is much chance that it wasn't the husband that caused this disappearance.

Hopefully I am wrong but it just seems to be the same story over and over again.

I know what you mean about the same story over and over again. I don't like to jump to conclusions either, but I feel like this sort of thing happens so often! Has there been a rise in spouse murders or are we just becoming more aware of it?

I have to admit that I am suspicious of the husband too. Hopefully he can give a lie detector test or cooperate as much as he can with police to clear himself first. If something ever happened to my husband, I would make sure to do EVERYTHING I could to clear my name first so that LE could focus their investigation elsewhere. It's just a huge red flag when spouses don't do that, IMO.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ON THIS BOARD IN A LONG TIME.
A FRIEND TOLD ME ABOUT THIS CASE AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE BRANDI LAURENT'S CASE.
BRANDI WAS FOUND 3 MONTHS LATER, IN A SHALLOW GRAVE, 1 MILE FROM HER HOME.
I AM SADDENNED FOR THIS GIRL. I HOPE THAT SHE IS OK AND SHE NEEDED TIME AWAY. BUT IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG.

[FinallyFree]

I think it unfair to "judge" her */c she was supposedly "out socializing all night"

You don't know the circumstances of her marriage or what she may have been going thru.

Have you never had a time in your life, where you needed your friends, needed time away from your spouse for a lil bit, time to clear your head, time to think or anything like that? I know I have!

There is nothing wrong with that. At all. Esp if you ARE having problems with your marriage, a lot of girls need their "girlfriends" when they are going thru things.

Of course, I don't know if this was the case, Im just speculating, trying to look at it in a different light.

Sadly, it is all to close to Brandi Laurent's case - I hope and pray that she DID just leave, */c that is better than the alternative.

[Jamie4Brandi]

TES CAME TO SEARCH FOR BRANDI. CINDY WISDOM...THE COORDINATER....SAID THAT SHE WOULD NOT BE FAR FROM HOME. CASES LIKE THIS....THE VICTIM IS NEVER FAR AWAY. AND SHE WAS RIGHT. BRANDI WAS FOUND WITHIN 10 MINS. OF THE SEARCH STARTING. I HOPE THAT LE HAS SEARCHED NEAR HER HOME.

I am related to the husband of the missing woman Heather, I will be honest that when anyone turns up missing that family and friends should be alarmed. In this case Heather has gone off alone before without telling anyone.

This may well happen, but we don't know that for a fact yet.

If you have seen my posts on MySpace then you know that I am very familiar with Brandi's case. I have done a number of posts about Brandi including the one "12 Missing Moms", were I used what happened to Brandi as a intro into a post about the epidemic of spousal abuse in the USA.

Having said that it is far to early to speculate that "the husband must have done it, to the exclusion of all others"

I will reiterate, if my wife was out all evening, and I had no knowledge that she was going to be out, and I had not heard from her, I would be worried sick.

When she got home I would be very relieved but I also would be angry.

Heather's husband may be lying through his teeth, but his reported reaction is perfectly consistent with how most men would react.

At this point in time we do not know the nature of this marriage, and we still do not know precisely who Heather spent the evening with, just that she spent it with friends.

I believe that national statistics mandate that the husband should be closely looked at, but at this point in time there is no public information that suggest that he should be singled out.

I agree with your post and I also followed Brandi's case . . . too close for comfort. Praying Heather is safe!!

[msmom]

I hope wooded areas near any roadways have been searched. There is always that chance that she could have been in an accident and maybe her vehicle cannot be seen by anyone passing by.

Hi jamie,

first off I did not think you were yelling, nor did I think you were being unreasonable. I know the facts, have known the facts about spousal abuse you were referring to for a long time.

I hate them, and what they imply, on some days I truly hate my half of our species because of them.

Why can’t we learn that sometimes we fall in love, and then sometimes we fall out of love and need to move on, without doing harm to each other?

BTW.. I am intrigued, if you are blind how did you read my post? Soft wear? Reading enhancement?

It has no bearing on your comments just interested, and fascinated.

I am dyslectic, I have spent a lifetime trying to find a way to put into written words facts that are easy for me to say verbally.

Wow, Peter! I would have never guessed you to have a learning disorder. I have read almost all your posts (we have alot of the same interests) and your posts are very clear and consiece to me. Great job! Makes me think talking to you verbally would be extremly stimulating!

I do agree, that people seem to hold their partners/family more of an object/possesion of love. I don't agree with Jamie.. Many do still do follow "old school marriage etiquette". Maybe we have conformed it to fit our present needs, but it is still followed. I don't need to go out all night and not return at 7am to have alone time from my hubby and kids. To me that sounds like their were problems in the marriage. While by all means I am not saying Heather's staying out late makes her a bad person. But, we live in a different world, and need to be more careful. Most of the missing people on these boards have gone missing or were killed doing everyday things.

Maybe in a drunk stupor, she did take off after an argument, Heather did take off? Who knows. I have not heard enough to convict the hubby yet. All people act differently when faced with something like this. In the 4 years I have been on these boards, I have learned a lie detector test means nothing. And if the persumed guilty has counsel, they highly advise NOT to take them. People beat them all the time and they are not admissible in court, so why bother. Now days people are covicted in the eyes of the public long before they go to court.

Re: Crime Stoppers offer reward in case of missing Portland woman
Heather has dissapeared for long periods of time. She has finished her finals and has no other reason to stay around. She has stated she doesn't like beign a wife or mother, I have experienced her odd behavior first hand, on a trip to portland a week or so before she left.

Thanks for the update! Doesn't seem like the parents suspect the husband. But as the father said.. you never know!

It is still a very real possibility that she was in an accident, since her car has yet to be found. jmo

I pray she is found alive.. but..you never know.

:rose:

[msmom]

I was thinking the same thing Heidi. I hope they have thought to search near all the water in the area possibly for any signs of vehicle markings nearby.

[RoasterJ]

I was sitting on the couch and saw Heathers pic on KOIN news this week. I was shocked. I was very sad. I used to "hang out" with Heather about 4yrs ago on the westside when she lived with her friend? off of Cornelius Pass Rd, Hillsboro. At that time, she was a "free spirit", fun, working different jobs here and there. She was a blast. I havent talked to her since then and I find myself getting very emotional over her missing. I didnt know she had a 3yr old son???, married, etc. We saw each other on and off for months, and her smile was the best ever! One day she was upset and then never talked to me again (4yrs ago). I hope and pray she is OK. I can see her taking off for a period of time, she was like that sometimes...not seeing her for a week or two and then she would call me out of the blue,etc. Like I said, I feel like I need to be doing something. How can I help! I have a deep desire to help but feel helpless? Does anyone need me to pass out fliers or go look around, I dont know where she lived..have the police mapped out her activities before her missing date/time? Did she drive off upset and fall asleep at the wheel? Should we be looking along I5, near water, near Gig Harbor. She talked about her parents and GigHarbor, maybe she drove to see them, and she had an accident? Please let me know if there is anything I can do. She has been on my mind constantly since I saw her missing notice on KOIN news. And she has a 3yr old...how old is he specifically?

[Heidi J.]

Welcome to our boards. Sorry your friend is missing. If you want to help, I would contact the police that are handling her case and see if they can tell you how to get in touch with the people in charge of the searches and putting up posters.

Please keep us updated and we will try to point you in the right direction.

Our prayers are with you. I hope Heather is found :rose:

[Lirae]

I haven't seen anything on her being found. There hasn't been much coverage since the initial days just after she went missing. I am at a loss why the police or other agencies are not moving on this more.

Missing Portland mom sought restraining order against husband

09:48 AM PDT on Monday, May 5, 2008

By KATHERINE COOK and Kgw.com Staff

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A Portland mother missing since March sought a restraining order against her husband in 2006, KGW has learned.



KGW report on Mallory's disappearance Heather Mallory, 32, petitioned the court for a restraining order against Brian Cole in October 2006. In the petition obtained by KGW, Mallory told the court she feared for her safety.

"Brian is a ticking time bomb with loads of anger festering inside him,” write Mallory. “I cannot trust him to be around me or my son right now."

In the same petition, Mallory says Cole punched her in the breast, leaving her bruised and in great pain.

The restraining order was granted, but four days later Mallory filed for a dismissal, writing: "Brian needs to see his son... So I can work nights and days without paying so much for childcare. If Brian cannot see him, I cannot afford to live."

That was in October of 2006. Mallory disappeared in March. Mallory’s parents now wonder if their daughter is still alive.


Parents plead for help

In a plea for help, Steve and Jenni Mallory appeared at a press conference where a $5,000 dollar reward was announced for information leading to a resolution in the case.

"It's terribly frustrating," her father, Steve Mallory said. "For me personally, I'm crying several times a day."

"It's like wearing a lead jacket all the time," Heather's mother, Jeni added. "It's very heavy. I go to bed feeling very heavy."

Mallory was last seen arguing with her husband before leaving their apartment on the morning of March 8th.

Police say they found her red sedan two weeks later, but no sign of Mallory.

Her parents say they asked Brian Cole to stay home from Friday's news conference, and when asked how they felt about him, Heather’s father had this to say:

"There's a lot of potential people who could have caused harm to Heather...he (Brian Cole) is certainly a suspect like other people are at this point."

Police have made it very clear that they haven't named any suspects in this case. KGW tried to reach Brian Cole repeatedly on Friday evening, both at his apartment and by phone, but received no response.


$6,000 in total reward money

A $5,000 reward was announced during the news conference. Heather had worked at the University Club in Portland, and the company raised the money for the reward. Added to a previous reward of $1,000 offered by the police department, the new amount brought the total reward to $6,000.


Husband made public plea

Heather and Brian have a young son named River and family members said they didn't believe she would intentionally leave without him.

Days after her disappearance, Brian made a plea on television for her return.

"I just want her to come home," he said. "We have a beautiful little boy at home that wants to see her."


Friends last saw Heather on March 7

The last day friends reported seeing Heather was on Friday, March 7. She attended school and worked her entire shift. After work, she spent the night socializing with friends and arrived home about 7:30 a.m. the next day, police said.

“After she arrived home, she became involved in an argument with her husband. Heather reportedly left home to avoid further confrontation and has not been seen or heard from since,” said Sgt. Brian Schamutz, spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau.

Investigators also said Heather's credit card has not been used since the day she disappeared.

Heather stands 5’5” and weighs 120 pounds. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1 or 503-823-0446.

I'm not saying that the husband is guilty of anything, but I am just SO SICK of hearing about these cases of women being killed and the husbands being the number 1 suspect - GET A DIVORCE for crying out loud! I don't understand why killing appears to be a better option than that to them.

IMO

Praying Heather is alive and well and comes home to her beautiful little boy soon :rose:

Unless there is something extraordinary that we don't know about, then the only thing keeping this guy out of jail is a body.

Which, I suspect, is why Heather is missing in the first place.

I tried to cut this guy a brake, give him the benefit of the doubt, but no longer.

Like so many other cases it is only a matter of time and the introduction of a real search team like Texas EguuSearch, (Not the ones organized by police, who profess to know what they are doing, but frequently don’t )and this slime is history.

The husband has moved to SandPoint Idaho. That is where Mark Furhman lives. Maybe I'll send Greta a email and ask her to get Mark on this story!! Maybe he could solve this mystery.

I wonder what LE found in the apt. I hope it is to their advantage that the husband moved. Any blood found in the apt would still be there. It just takes spraying luminol and there it is. I think something happened in the apt and then he got rid of her body.
Yep, they can still get him in Idaho. You can run but you can't outrun the long arm of the law..lol.

I completely agree with everything you stated in your post and I share your frustration as well.

I think the husband is guilty, JMO.

Yes. It's really odd that the failure of the LDT is released through the press IMO..coupled with Heather's mother saying she is remaining "neutral".
Maybe LE is trying to get him to give up where he put her by releasing this bombshell.

Husband of missing Portland woman failed lie detector test

05:57 PM PDT on Friday, May 30, 2008

By kgw.com Staff

PORTLAND -- The husband of a missing Portland woman told KGW he failed a police lie detector test, although he is not officially been named a suspect in the case.

On Friday, detectives took a computer, paperwork and some receipts from the apartment that Heather Mallory shared with her husband Brian Cole and their three-year-old son.



KGW report on investigation Mallory was last seen arguing with Cole at the apartment on March 8th. Her parents said she has not been seen or heard from since.

Friday, Cole said detectives administered the polygraph test, asking him if he killed Mallory, and if he knew her whereabouts.

When asked why he failed the test Cole replied "I don't know."

Cole told KGW Friday that police also took his truck. He was at the apartment gathering belongings Friday because the lease runs out Saturday. Heather's parents were also removing items from the apartment.

Cole already moved out. He is now living near relatives in Sand Point, Idaho with the couple's three-year-old son, River.

Police would not elaborate on what they found at the apartment, located in the 11000 block of South East Raymond Street, but they did confirm that the search warrant was part of their ongoing investigation into Mallory's disappearance.


Background: Mallory sought restraining order

Police found Mallory's red sedan two weeks after she went missing, but no sign of her.


Heather's mother, Jeni Mallory, spoke to KGW Thursday about the new developments. While her mother is quite distraught over her daughter's disappearance, she said she's happy to hear the news that police were out there, still working the case.


"I really feel like, you know, I'm missing a lot. This comes and goes, so I'll be fine," she said, tearing up.


Earlier this month, KGW learned the Mallory, 32, filed a restraining order against Cole in 2006 but later dismissed it.


Neighbors said detectives walked out of the apartment, Wednesday night with several bags of items and some items wrapped in paper.


"I try to treat Brian neutral and not think about it. Is he a suspect? I think it's only natural that husbands are suspects and is he the only one? I don't know. I know police have not shared that with us, so we just just don't know," Jeni added.


She said it would be very unlike her daughter to just run off and stop doing what she loved, which was taking care of River and futhering her culinanry career.


Both Mallory's parents and Cole have made public pleas for help finding Heather. There is also a $6,000 reward for anyone with information on this case.

Police may be closer to figuring out what happened to a missing mother after searching the apartment she shared with her husband and 3-year-old son.

Heather Mallory-Cole hasn't been seen since March 8.

Both her parents and her husband said they don't know where she is, and police will say only that they're doing what they have to do to find Mallory-Cole.

Her father hopes their search will turn up some new information. "We have done just about everything we can as parents to try and find her," Heather's father, Steve Mallory, said.

He called the search of his daughter's apartment last night "a positive move" by police. They broke into the apartment last night, with a search warrant and a platoon of forensics experts.

Mallory said Brian Cole was planning on moving out this weekend.

In a press conference held in March, Brian Cole and Heather Mallory-Cole's parents asked for help finding the missing woman. "I just want anybody that's got any information as to where Heather is to please, please call us," Brian Cole said in March.

She had stayed out with friends the night before, and had an argument with Brian Cole on March 8 when she returned to their Southeast Raymond Street apartment. She left, and has not been seen since. That argument wasn't the first time the couple had problems: Heather sought a restraining order against her husband in 2006.

When Mallory was asked Thursday whether he suspects Brian Cole, he said it varies. "I waver. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. It's a very difficult thing. I just don't have all the evidence that the police does," Mallory said.

He said one thing is for sure, though, his daughter did not go away of her own free will. "She would not have left her son. (I am) absolutely certain of that. I think foul play is definitely involved," Mallory said.

He said Brian Cole is staying with his mother in northern Idaho, and the couple's son is in day care there.

No one has yet been charged in the disappearance of Heather Mallory-Cole.
