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

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".....

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.

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?

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.

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.

Re: Police seek woman missing for a week
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.

Timothy, the last person to see her was her husband.........why would you question people they had both been out with?

Does anyone find it strange that Brian's mood was "calm" the last time he logged in, o3/16, 8 days after his wife went missing?

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

[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.

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.

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.

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT SHE DID THAT NIGHT. WE ALL DO IT. I AM A MOTHER OF 3 WITH A HUBS. I NEED MY TIME TOO. IT DOESNT MAKE ME OR THIS GIRL A "BAD PERSON".
NOT MANY FOLLOW "OLD SCHOOL MARRIAGE EDIQUITTE" ANYMORE.
DID SOMEONE FOLLOW HER HOME?
DID HUBS TAKE LDT?
WERE HER FRIENDS INTERVIEWED?
AND I AM NOT YELLING...I AM BLIND!!! LOL

SO.....HE HAS NOT LOGGED IN SINCE THE 16TH? NOT TO CHECK IF SHE IS SENDING HIM ANYTHING? CAUSE MAYBE HE KNOWS SHE ISNT? NO PICS OF HIS WIFE? JUST IS PANZY ART? HIS MOOD IS "CALM" ON THE 16TH WHEN HIS WIFE WENT MISSING ON THE 8TH?
I AM NOT READING IN TO ANYTHING.......JUST OBSERVATION. HER MYSPACE IS PRIVATE....SO I DONT KNOW WHAT HERS LOOKS LIKE.

Re: Crime Stoppers offer reward in case of missing Portland woman
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.

THERE IS NOT MUCH INFO ON THIS CASE. WHAT IS HUBS DOING? ANY PLEAS? ANY SEARCHES?

I SAW THAT TOO. THE HUBS COULD HAVE TYPED THAT.

WATCH WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. THE HUBS WILL BASH HER TO NO END. CLAIMING HER TO BE A BAD PERSON.....ETC. AS SOON AS THE LE PUT PRESSURE ON HIM...HE WILL START PUTTING IT ALL ON HER.

ANYONE LIVE CLOSE TO THIS CASE?

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!!
