Esther Gesler left her husband and children at home on March 13, 1976 at 11.00.
Esther told her husband that she was going to rent a motel room in the SeaTac (airport) area so that she could be alone and study for a final college exam coming up the next week. She told him that she would return home the next day.
She took the family car provided to her by her ex-husband.
She kept a hair dresser appointment in the neighboring City of Auburn, WA, just south of Kent.
Esther did not return home as promised the next day and has not been seen or heard from since. Foul play is suspected.
