New information has surfaced in the unsolved death of a 37-year-old Thurston County woman whose nude body was discovered alongside a Rochester road seven years ago, according to the Thurston County Sheriff’s Office.
Karen L. Bodine died of homicidal violence and it is believed she may have fallen victim because of her association with people in the drug sub-culture, according to the sheriff’s office.
She was found the morning of Jan. 22, 2007 at a gravel pit adjacent to Littlerock Road Southwest.
While early on, it appeared there were people with knowledge about Bodine’s death, the trail quickly went cold, sheriff’s Lt. Greg Elwin said in a news release this morning.
Recently however, new information has come up that leads investigators to think the trail is once again hot, according to Elwin.
All aspect of the evidence are being reviewed, and interviews will be re-conducted.
“(D)etectives continue to work this case and hope the passage of time will help those with knowledge of this horrendous crime come forward,” Elwin stated.
Anyone with information about her death, as well as the days leading up to it, is asked to call the sheriff’s office.
