She hitchhiked around Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. She was estranged with her family falling in and out of contact with them.
On August 10, 1997, Tonya had left her home town hitchhiking. She was headed towards Casper and had been seen with at least 4 men in there 50's when she left. She also mentioned that she was going to Salt Lake City. She had previously died her hair an orange/blonde and wore silver jewelry.

She was being questioned by police about soliciting sex over the CB radio. She claimed that she had done it as a joke. At the time they found out that she had a warrant for forgery in Utah, but they weren't willing to extradite her, so they let her go.
On August 15, 1997, a trucker's wife riding shotgun spotted a girl's nude body in the high grass on the highway 20 ramp near Ucon, Idaho. The only thing she was wearing was a pearl ring. It took more than a week to identify her as no one had reported her missing. Her cause of death was a mystery, but it is believed to be a homicide from the way her body was found.
