Vanished After the Fair: The Unsolved Disappearance of Misty

By Linda Davidson

On a September night in 1992, fourteen-year-old Misty Copsey went to the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, expecting nothing more than rides, laughter, and an ordinary evening with friends.

She never came home.

In Vanished After the Fair, Linda Davidson examines the haunting disappearance of Misty Copsey, a case that has lingered in Washington State for decades. What began as a missing teen report soon became something far more troubling: conflicting witness accounts, a pickup truck driver whose story raised hard questions, possible evidence discovered later, and a family left fighting for answers as the years passed.

This book traces Misty's life, the final hours before she vanished, the controversial early investigation, and the painful mystery that refused to disappear. With empathy, restraint, and a focus on the human cost of an unsolved case, Vanished After the Fair explores not only what may have happened to Misty, but why some cases remain unresolved for so long.

For readers drawn to true crime that is investigative, respectful, and emotionally grounded, this is the story of a girl who should have made it home-and the questions that remain in the dark long after the fair lights went out.
