Hastings was last seen at the Latah Trading Company Store off Highway 195 in Spokane, Washington on November 3, 2015.

A few days after her disappearance, her boyfriend found her car in downtown Spokane, across the street from the Knitting Factory; her purse and phone were inside it.

Hastings left all her belongings behind, including her makeup, identification and money. She had just started school at Glen Dow Beauty Academy and attended the first day of classes the day before she was last seen, but never showed up for the second day.

After Hastings was last seen, Randy Riley was arrested and charged with possession of stolen property and identity theft; he had used her stolen credit cards. He said he was not involved in Hastings's disappearance.

He said he encountered her while she was walking on South Inland Empire Way. He stated she was very drunk and belligerent, and they spent a few hours together before he left her standing on the roadside. About a day later, he found her coat on the roadside with her wallet inside it, and used her cards. Riley pleaded guilty to the charges, spent a few months in jail and was released. He has not been named as a suspect in her case.

Hastings left behind three children. She has dropped out of sight before for days at a time, but never for this long. Her case remains unsolved.

Liar.

No kidding! I used to follow this case closely until they came to this standstill. This isn't right! I wonder what this guy has been doing the past five years now.

 

[GrandmaBear]

No how and no way. Isn't this far fetched story convenient for him... What a crock. Let me just add, imo.

 

[Miccistella]

so basically no body no crime.....

it also doesn't make sense that the purse was still in the car but he allegedly found it by the road.... l don't know a woman going somewhere and than leaving it in the car and just take the vallet...

Family of missing Spokane woman continue to urge community to send in tips

SPOKANE, Wash. – It’s been more than eight years since a local mother vanished from West Spokane, seemingly without a trace. No one has seen or heard from Deanne Hastings

Family of missing Spokane woman continue to urge community to send in tips​

It’s been more than eight years since a local mother vanished from West Spokane, seemingly without a trace. No one has seen or heard from Deanne Hastings since November 3, 2015.

Hastings disappeared after telling her fiancé she was running some quick errands. In 2016, Mike Tibbets told KHQ he considered the mystery ‘a person’s worst nightmare.’

Feb. 27 holds a special place for the loved ones of Deanne as it marks her birthday. Her older brother, Carson Crider, says since she vanished, the day is now filled with heartache.

“It’s rough; her birthday is always a rough day now,” Carson said. “It’s especially rough on (our) mom.”

Carson says his sister was legally declared deceased last year.

“I believe somebody killed her,” he said. “Someone knows something … but nobody will talk.”

Deanne was a loving mother who also attending beauty school. She had dealt with struggles before, but loved ones say she was doing well back in Nov. of 2015.

Her family dismisses the theory of her disappearance being voluntary as "ridiculous."

“Absolutely not,” Carson said. “This is definitely not a voluntary disappearance. It’s just…unfortunate. If it can happen to her, and we don’t have closure, it could happen to someone else. Whoever did this is still walking around.”

Spokane Police say the case remains active and encourage anyone with information to come forward. Carson also pleads for witnesses to do the right thing. It’s been several years filled with pain and uncertainty for their family.

“I would say, at this point, we just want to give Deanne a funeral,” he said. “Please…just come forward, even anonymously. We want to lay her to rest. We want some closure.”

Deanne Hastings was approximately 5’4 and 120 pounds when she was last seen. If you have any information about the suspicious disappearance of Deanne Hastings, please call 509.456.2233.

A man who admitted to running into Deanne that night was later charged with using her credit cards. He told KHQ in 2016 that was the extent of his criminal activity and stated he had nothing to do with her.https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sha...l&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=user-share

San Diego artist Michael Carini honors missing friend with poignant artwork​

For University Heights' artist Michael Carini, November 4th is a date that holds special significance. The date marks the 11th anniversary of his friend Deanne Hastings' disappearance. Carini, who gained attention during a 2018 interview regarding forgiveness after surviving a violent assault, shared a powerful follow-up reflecting on his journey and commitment to Hastings.

"I met Michael Carini in 2018, and he shared a story about forgiveness that I'll never forget," Zevely said. Eight years later, Carini reflected on the assault he endured in 2009, when he faced multiple facial fractures but chose to forgive his attacker. He reiterated, "He and I are totally good with each other, no animosity; again, people make mistakes."

However, tragedy struck again in 2023 when Carini suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) after being rear-ended on the freeway. "I saw this person in the rearview mirror not even slowing down, and the thought in my head was, oh expletive, this is where I die," he recalled. The accident left him grappling with the loss of cognitive control, describing it as "very scary."

This year, Carini chose November 4th to commemorate Hastings, who went missing in Spokane, Washington, 11 years ago. The last painting she saw Carini work on remains a fixture in his life, and he is dedicated to keeping her memory alive through his art. "I am just trying to advocate and be a voice for her because I feel like not a lot of people are," Carini said.

His commitment is reflected in his artwork, including the poignant piece "As the Caged Bird Sings," inspired by Hastings. "So here is the head of the bird, and it is swooping around," he described, emphasizing the hope woven into his creative process. Carini pledged, "Oh, never, never until my dying breath I will do everything that I can."

Carini continues to work on his craft, with pieces currently exhibited in the HOPE show at The Studio Door, running through November 6. His work is also displayed at the Sparks Gallery in the Gaslamp Quarter. The artist’s approach, which he terms "Acrylic Alchemy," embodies his philosophy of creating light from darkness and transmuting pain into purpose.

Carini's advocacy for Hastings and his dedication to continuing his artistic journey serve as his driving force, highlighting the importance of visibility for those lost and the transformative power of art.

So glad somebody didn’t forget her! I continue to pray that this case will be solved.
