Jun 21, 2013, 1:04 PM | Updated: 1:06 pm

An Edmonds man is under arrest for the murder of a 35-year-old woman whose body was found in her Bellevue condo on Monday.

“It was obvious based on our investigation that she was a victim of homicidal violence so we initiated a criminal investigation into her death,” said Seth Tyler with the Bellevue Police Department.

Tyler says they tracked down the suspect in Los Angeles where police took him into custody.

“At this time this is the only suspect in this case,” says Tyler.

Authorities have not released any information about a motive.

The victim, Nataliya Vabis-chevich, was a single mom who worked as a massage therapist at a Bellevue chiropractic office.
