I was thinking about the what David Roth has told the Police and I don't think that it is her denying his sexual advances that caused him to strangle and shoot her.There must be something else that triggered him off. I have heard that he said he now thinks that it was because she told him that the two guys she was living with would hurt him. But he choked her first, it would seem like he would shoot her first if he was acting out of fear.
Also, I think she was staying somewhere in Everett, because she didn't have any change of clothes, money.
It could be possible that the two men that she lived with were involved in some illegal activities like selling drug and didn't report her missing because they didn't want any police attention.
I might check to see if there was anything going on in Everett or Seattle around that time she might have been going to.
i have been thinking the same things for years, so i am glad to hear someone else shares my humble opinion.
i know from research that there was a huge drug bust in everett around the time. i will redig for the link. i had thought that might be a possible connection...but it appears everyone was apprehended.
i will post the link when i find it so we can all look into it
