SLO police release photo of 'vehicle of interest' in Kristen Marti death case
http://www.sanluisobispo.com/news/local/crime/article207950999.html
San Luis Obispo police have released a photo of the mid-90s, red Chevy S-10 Blazer identified as a vehicle of interest in the Kristen Marti case.

Marti, whose body was discovered in late March in Prefumo Canyon, was last seen Jan. 9 sitting with an adult man in a parked car in the 1800 block of Prefumo Canyon Road, police say.

Police initially said the car Marti was last seen in was a maroon sedan, though they said March 29 that information about the sedan had been investigated "and is no longer of interest in this case."

[...]

Last week, when the body was discovered, police said they had identified a person of interest, believed to be the last person seen with Marti before her disappearance, but additional information was not released because of the ongoing investigation.

Police also said last week that the case was being investigated as a homicide "based on the circumstances surrounding this investigation."

According to a Facebook profile in her name, Marti attended Morro Bay High School and lived in San Luis Obispo.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the San Luis Obispo Police Department at 805-781-7312 or CrimeStoppers at 805-549-7867.

Sweet child.....we are all children in the end.....wow.....confirmed found deceased......so sad a life cut short and her mama.....I sure hope the investigators catch the person who did this.

When they searched the person of intrest's home two knives were removed from the home among other items, including the DMV records for that vehicle... Just saying...

 

[tahoetess]

really would like to know what happened here...someone murdered someone? or what?

 

[nowheregrrl]

okay so now that the person I was concerned about lives in another state... a girl I worked with a couple of years ago was roommates with the sole suspect of this crime. the cops came to her house and took things and I actually have seen the warrant and items list but my friend was still staying in the house, now that she's out of there, basically they're just looking at this single suspect and I'm sorry if you look at the crime work in this area (best example Kristin Smart in the 90s) nothing will probably ever come of this investigation. Unfortunately for Kristen Marti, she wasn't a Cal Poly Co-Ed and apparently had some drug problems and here in the "Happiest City In America" or whatever we're calling it, "people like that" don't live here. They very rarely get justice either.

There are some friends of Kristen trying to organize a memorial / vigil for her as soon as they can.

Marti murder suspect extradited to SLO County

The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney’s Office has already filed a single charge of murder against Koehler, as well as multiple enhancements. The enhancements include an allegation of premeditated murder; the use of a deadly weapon — a knife; and having a prior violent criminal conviction. Koehler committed a carjacking in Shasta County in 2005, according to the DA’s office.

Police booked Koehler into the SLO County Jail on one count of murder. He is being held without bail.
