Help us find Ruby, missing since 12/2008

Many of her loved ones are still searching for closure in this sad case. According to the limited information on this case, she was enjoying a night out with friends, and then there was a 9-1-1 call that she had jumped from the Burnside Bridge.
Her body is still unrecovered. It is still unclear if this was intentional or accidental. Noone has been forthcoming with information on what really happened that cold December evening.
Her 4 children, her husband, her friends and family are still searching for answers...if you have seen Ruby or have any information, please contact Portland Police or post a comment on this story.

We all loved and cared about ruby so much. Even though we get closure we will never be the same. My heart goes out to Ruby's family and expecially her kids. We need to remember her for what she was, a loving mother and a beautiful person. Missing you

Did they find Ruby!

the truth says ... on Sunday, Apr 5 at 2:07 PM

I cant mention names, what if its not true..maybe this person heard it wrong, but I can tell you that the person that told me this a good friend of Rubys cousin, she didnt know if it was true so thats why I am asking..was she really found?

Gabby says ... on Friday, Apr 3 at 9:57 PM

I know for a fact that there is a pieace of the puzzle missing. Something happen to ruby that night and for some reason people aren't coming through.. and it's not only those girls that were there that nit, but everyone that relates to her.

Gabby says ... on Friday, Apr 3 at 9:49 PM

I don"t understand how in world people could just assume without even knowing the truth. I'm so tired of hearing the same question over and over again. I heard this and that come on lets keep it real people. FOr the love of ruBy....

Gabby says ... on Friday, Apr 3 at 9:44 PM

Now i'm confused! when and from who did you hear that they found ruby's skull or hair. First of all please mention names don't just say i heard it from someone. were all trying to figure out what happened to ruby so lets stop guessing ok.

Melissa says ... on Tuesday, Mar 31 at 11:35 AM

The day of the incident I know that they found some of Ruby's hair at the site, anyone know if anything else has been uncovered?

question says ... on Tuesday, Mar 31 at 7:18 AM

I heard it from a family friend, but I dont know if its true, I heard it a couple weeks ago.... I hope someone can answer the truth..anyone know?

Melissa says ... on Monday, Mar 30 at 7:44 AM

What? Where and when did you hear that?

IS THIS TRUE? ANY ONE KNOW says ... on Sunday, Mar 29 at 1:19 AM

RUMOR IS A PIECE OF Ruby's skull was found with her hair on it???? is this true????

A FRIEND says ... on Thursday, Mar 26 at 1:27 AM

That is good idea that ( posters ) say and also put some posters of her in Vancouver , WA so if any knows anything they will help , because it looks that those who call her friend they are not talking of what they know about that day.

posters says ... on Wednesday, Mar 25 at 9:32 AM

have you posted up like posters, has she been reported to the missing people websites??? Missing posters can be put up around Oregon....

suggestion says ... on Tuesday, Mar 24 at 7:51 AM

you could keep bothering the news people, it just takes one reporter to listen to your story, you have to really bring the story to there attention...you have to continue to email them and leave them msgs on voicemails

Melissa says ... on Monday, Mar 23 at 10:19 AM

Not a thing, any ideas on a next steps?

hey melissa says ... on Saturday, Mar 21 at 8:27 AM

have you heard back from any of the local news????

wondering says ... on Saturday, Mar 21 at 8:26 AM

hey melissa, have you heard anything from the local news stations???call them and let them know what you are trying to do, maybe they can help....this needs to be a Top story on the news..

exactly says ... on Saturday, Mar 21 at 8:26 AM

these girls arent talking?? they are cowards..it will catch up to them someday, if they were involved you know they are scared....

A friend says ... on Tuesday, Mar 17 at 10:29 PM

Her friends that were haing out with her they should talk in her memory so can justice can be made for her and her family because is not fair to her and for her love ones for the killer be on the lose and not get his or her punishment.

A friend says ... on Tuesday, Mar 17 at 10:25 PM

Never give up and for I think that her friends that were with her on that nigth they should know something because if they were haging out with her they should know but for some reason they don't want to talk, but if she was that nice with everybody

Melissa says ... on Tuesday, Mar 10 at 7:20 AM

As you all know I wont let this go until we have the truth....and those who were responsible are prosecuted for their roles in this. Love you Ruby, there is not a day that goes by that I dont say a prayer for you and yours.

never give up says ... on Sunday, Mar 8 at 11:13 AM

as long as we keep fighting and long as Melissa keeps helping with media (thanks Melissa) I know in my heart the truth will be heard...anyone klnow the girls she was with, how about posting their names so we can ask them questions....

Gabby RIP Rubby says ... on Saturday, Mar 7 at 11:15 AM

The truth will come out sooner or later regardless of what people say or did. If she's really gone than she's going to be missed alot because she was a beautiful person in the inside as well as the outside. THROUGH GOD ALL THNGS ARE POSSIBLE.........

GAbby RIP Ruby says ... on Saturday, Mar 7 at 11:04 AM

It's been to long n to suspecious about her death. It just doesn't make any sense that her body wasn't found within that period of time.Why isn't anyone saying anything about that night. I've heard so many different stories from friends n loved one's

Gabby RIP RUBY says ... on Saturday, Mar 7 at 10:59 AM

Ruby wasn't that type of girl that would easily give up. I kNOw this for a fact i've known her for 15 yrs and i know she wouldn't. So i ask myself what really happened that night? Is she really dead or is she missing!

Gabby RIP Ruby says ... on Saturday, Mar 7 at 10:52 AM

There is not a day when i don't think about ruby and her mysterious death. Everything is so weird about that night.... I still wonder what really happened that night i know in my heart that someone had to do something in regard of her death.

Wife and mom of 3 beautiful children says ... on Thursday, Mar 5 at 10:56 PM

This is a very sad story...Those poor kids with no mom right now. And her husband, I can't even imagine what he is going through.. I hope she is found so the family can at least have some closure, my family and I will be praying for her and her fam.

help says ... on Tuesday, Mar 3 at 8:52 AM

those "friends" she was with are probably the ones that did it, this story needs to be more focused on..

hopeful says ... on Sunday, Mar 1 at 1:12 PM

I hope we can find Ruby, any thing to help with closure ...RIP Ruby

Melissa says ... on Friday, Feb 27 at 1:25 PM

We will do all we can in our power to solve this. We love you and miss you Ruby.
