REMINDER **Please keep in mind that forensic drawings rarely look EXACTLY like the person we're trying to find. A lot of the soft tissue features are guesses. Look for a likeness in any feature or even just overall similarities, but don't get hung up b/c the nose doesn't quite match or the hair is the wrong color.**

UPDATE: We think she's been deceased for several years, but can't say exactly how many, so if someone died three years ago it's still worth suggesting their name for us to cross reference.

Also, we don't know her age. Our guess is roughly 20-60 years old. It can be very difficult to tell from just a cranium.

Human remains were located in Mountlake Terrace in January 2025. A forensic drawing has been rendered to show what this person may have looked like.

Please let us know if you recognize this person or even see a trait of hers that is recognizable. She would have likely been deceased for many years before being found earlier this year.

Update on Missing Person Mary Johnson (Davis) https://ow.ly/nV1150XlXqO

08/11/2025

Thanks again for all the tips! We've received way more than we could have ever predicted, so please be patient as we get through the long list.

DNA is in process for Mountlake Terrace case with the forensic drawing. We are currently able to compare missing persons who have dental records on file, so we are able to rule out some missing persons using dental records. We have ruled out the following people so far:

• Sharon Christine Anderson NamUs MP1249
• Tracey Elizabeth Brazzel NamUs MP8804
• Laynee Danielle Westbrook NamUs MP74105
• Susan Ellen Walker MP7276
• Adriana Nunez-Gutierrez, Chelan County, missing since 2024
• Nancy Gonzales, Seattle, missing since 2023
• Katya Marie Lyne, NamUs MP6336
• Nguyet Nguyen, NamUs MP14410
• Barbara Ann McClure, NamUs MP14266
• Mary Francis Hunter, NamUs MP4476

Some resources if you have a missing person in your life:

• Washington State Patrol has a missing persons toolkit: https://wsp.wa.gov/crime/alerts-missing-persons/

• Report your missing person to law enforcement and obtain a case number. Consider giving a DNA sample for upload to CODIS for any reported missing person. Obtain the name of the missing person’s dentist so that dental records can be obtained.

• Consider doing a direct-to-consumer DNA test and uploading the results to GEDmatch.com and Familytreedna.com, the two databases that are used to identify unidentified human remains.

• If you have previously reported a family member missing, double check with law enforcement that they are still listed as a missing person in NCIC (some records may have inadvertently been removed).

Thank you so much to this community. Since posting the forensic drawing on Friday, that post has been seen by over 200,000 people! Community engagement like this will bring families long overdue closure and help give names back to those who have been lost for far too long.

Keep it up, let's share, share, share and solve this case together!!!
