Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Ruth has a small cross tattoo on the web of her right hand between her thumb and index finger. Her ears are pierced.
In 1982, Ruthy was living with her guardian
She became acquainted with two men. Both were in their thirties. This incident occurred on August 19 of that year. Ruth made plans to meet the men later that evening at Sam’s Food City at Carver Road and Teresa Street, three blocks from her home. She was last seen at approximately 8:45 P.M. after she left her guardian’s residence. She said she was walking to Sam’s Food City to purchase a soft drink.
Ruth did in fact arrive at the store. She vanished afterward. Her guardian was at work during Ruth’s scheduled arrival time at home and did not realize she was missing until approximately 7:00 A.M. on August 20, the following morning. Ruth has never been seen again. Authorities questioned the two men scheduled to meet Ruth during the night she vanished, but both denied any involvement in her case.
Wesley Howard Shermantine Jr. and Loren Joseph Herzog are the so-called “Speed Freak Killers.” They are possible suspects in Ruth’s case. They were arrested in 2000 and ultimately convicted of murdering several females in the 1980’s and 1990s; authorities believe they had as many as fifteen victims.
Shermantine lead investigators to the skeletal remains of Chevelle Wheeler and Cyndi Vanderheiden. They had been missing since 1985 and 1998 respectively. He also pointed out an abandoned well in Linden, California that contained some 300 human bones and personal items. Shermantine stated the well contains up to twenty victims. He blames Herzog for all the murders and says he only helped with disposing the bodies. Authorities are in the process of sorting out the contents of the well and attempting to identify the bones.
Ruthy had met Herzog before her disappearance; she and a female friend went to the Calaveras County Frog Jump with him
