Andrea Nuckles: Observation and Report in Sunnyside
The reported departure from home and the family’s reporting step need separate dates.
Abstract
NamUs MP87022 lists January 27, 2021, as Andrea Nuckles’s Date of Last Contact in Sunnyside, Washington.1
The Registry Account
Its narrative describes Nuckles walking away from home. The entry identifies Sunnyside Police Department case 21S00935 and January 31 as the report date.1
The contact date and the date a report was received belong to different steps. Neither supplies the full original observation statement.
The March 2021 Report
Patti Banner’s March 12, 2021, KISS FM article attributes the January 27 sighting to a neighbor and describes Nuckles leaving on foot with a small black Chihuahua-mix dog.2
It says her family reported her missing on January 31. The article’s publication date does not describe another sighting.2
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the neighbor’s original account and match what was observed on January 27 to case 21S00935?1,2
Can you document the January 31 family report separately from the March 12 publication?2
Keep the reported observation, reporting step and source date in a Research File in Almost Solved. Each should retain the document that supports it.

The Property Reference
NamUs also records a purse found in the area, without dating that find.1
A property record needs its own recovery date and source. Its location does not, by itself, establish a later observation of Nuckles.
Scope and Method
Original witness statements and property records were not inspected. Present whereabouts were not established.
