Our Daughter, Sister,
Mother....Amy...
Amy (resident
of Rochester, WA) had been missing since approximately 9:30 am
on Saturday, 7/21/07. Because of the mysterious circumstances
involving her disappearance Law Enforcement waived the 24 hour
waiting period generally required for a missing adult, and immediately
launched an investigation into her disappearance.
Amy's vehicle
was found next to her house, keys in the ignition, her dog was
in the car, her purse was on the seat (nothing missing), a warm
cup of coffee in the console, and the drivers side door open.
A neighbor found the vehicle in this condition and immediately
called 911. On Saturday, July 21st a search and rescue team was
assembled at her home. Volunteers searched on foot, and a heat
seeking plane was brought in to assist in the search. Two, scent
trained, blood hounds were also involved in the search but turned
up nothing.
Amy had planned
to spend the day with a friend. She was apparently loading her
car to leave and was never seen by friends and family alive again.
On Monday, July 23rd, friends
and family organized a search party of their own and found Amy's
body near the back of the property where she had previously lived
with her estranged husband. After the discovery of Amy's body,
her estranged husband, Steven H. Mullins was taken into custody
and booked on suspicion of murder. He is currently being held
at the Thurston County Sheriffs Department on 1st degree murder
charges. His bond is being held at 1 million dollars.
As we move closer
to trial, please check this website for news regarding developments
in the case.

We would like

our family. People who were once strangers have made personal
calls to my family, left messages of support and sent emails
