Snohomish County investigators need your help identifying human remains found near Mountlake Terrace this past January.

The Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office has released a forensic drawing showing what the person may have looked like.

“Please let us know if you recognize this person or even see a trait of hers that is recognizable,” the ME’s office said in a post on X. “She would have likely been deceased for many years before being found earlier this year.”
