Wow. I didn't know Laura Stone Mortimer, but apparently she worked in the same highrise office building as me. Probably rode the elevator with her a few times. What a senseless tragedy. Thankfully the guy is behind bars now. Condolences to her family... what a devastating loss, 3 generations.

Apparently she was found deceased in a sewer on the hotel property: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100408/ap_en_tv/lt_mexico_producer_s_wife

What the... so was Cormier allegedly holding her hostage in the boarding house?! And nobody noticed?

I don't know much Portuguese, but I'm going to make a few informed guesses. pq = porque = because Sounds like both these posters are implicating this Oliveira guy ("she complained because tb olive live one time at home with her" -- oliveira is Portuguese for olive tree, and was likely...

No, 8 pm-ish. This is near the Safeway gas station.

The diner is at the intersection of Martin Way and Pacific Ave. in Olympia. We don't know what road she took to get to the Boston Harbor area, East Bay seems more likely if we are working under the assumption that she was trying to get on I-5 at Plum St. but missed the turn. Of course it...

I'm one of the people who posted that it's a pretty straight shot. It is, but this is also a very highly congested part of Olympia with many malls and shopping centers. The roads were not designed to accommodate this level of vehicle traffic, so there are huge backups for some turns...

She may have bought the wine at Handy Pantry -- she was there just before 8.

Many Safeways in Olympia have a Safeway-brand gas station in the parking lot. Here is google streetview of the gas station at the Harrison Ave. Safeway...

I should add that the Safeway on Harrison Ave. is very close to the freeway (101) -- less than a mile and two turns at most.

Just to clear up some geography -- while Mackenzie and Katherine were both found near the Columbia River, only Katherine was in the gorge; Mackenzie was found hundreds of miles away in Wenatchee. IMO, there is no apparent connection between the three cases, though it is a sad coincidence.

There is a map earlier in the thread that has the location marked; IIRC, it's on 46th Ave. NE, near Boston Harbor. Not a hugely populated area, but not totally rural either. If I were a predator, this would not be an area I would think to look for a victim -- very low chance of a victim coming...

Or maybe the stress of getting lost in Olympia with a hungry kid on the way to a reunion with a family member she hadn't spoken with in a long time was enough to make her want a drink? I do think the waitress said they serve alcohol at the diner. I haven't been in since they changed the name a...

If he was making the repair in Toledo/Vader, that is a pretty good distance from Olympia... at least an hour's drive on the freeway. He might also have taken SR 411 from Vader to Castle Rock. I've done it a few times, it's more pleasant than I-5 with all the semis and hills and people doing...

Toledo-Vader is a couple of small towns just off I-5, maybe 10 miles from Castle Rock. This is a pretty empty stretch of I-5, and Toledo/Vader is one of the few exits with services available in the area. There's a back road between Vader and Castle Rock that's more pleasant/scenic than I-5...

This case has always reminded me somewhat of the woman who drove her minivan filled with kids the wrong way on the highway in NY -- the erratic behavior, the lateness, the calls to family that didn't quite have enough information to provide the necessary help -- but this was not a similarity...

Here's a website with (approximate) tide tables for Olympia on the night they went missing. Note that low tide was at 10:42 pm local time, probably around the time the vehicle went into the mud/water based on the timeline. http://www.dairiki.org/tides/daily.php/oly/2010-03-13

The footprints immediately around the vehicle were probably washed away when the tide came in. If Shantina & son kept walking along the shoreline, those footprints may have been washed away as well (or they may have been walking along the rocky kind of beach prevalent in Puget Sound -- there is...
