A 30-year-old Packwood area woman is dead after she was pulled from the Black River near Rochester last night, apparently in an attempt to flee the law.
The Thurston County Sheriff’s Office said she and a 34-year-old man were contacted in a vehicle parked with its lights off near the boat launch near School Land Road about 8 p.m.
As the deputy was checking information on her, the driver’s door swung open and she ran toward the river, Sgt. Ray Brady said.
“She jumps into the water and starts swimming away from him,” Brady said.
Firefighters responded about 8:22 p.m. and with the use of thermal imaging equipment spotted the woman floating about a quarter mile downstream, according to West Thurston Regional Fire Authority. It was approximately 9:05 p.m., according to Chief Robert Scott.
Her head was above water, but she was hypothermic and incoherent, Scott said. Responders said she was treated for exposure but then medics had to perform CPR enroute to the hospital.
Brady said she passed away about 2:30 a.m.
The woman had arrest warrants from the state Department of Corrections and related to possession of methamphetamine, according to Brady.
As far as they can tell, that may be the reason she ran, he said.
“It’s really kind of tragic, trying to flee some warrants, and have it end in the death of someone,” Brady said.
The Thurston County Coroner’s Office identifies her as Kristina L. Jorden.

Convenient how the police left out the part about chasing her into the water – – – In any other developed country they would be facing murder charges . . . In our country we like it when the police Kill People.
Ahm, No on everything you wrote.
She chose to run and in what direction, not police herding her into the water to kill her.
As very tragic as this is, it was her decision to try and escape the police. Her decision ended very tragically and like so many other choices in life cannot be undone.
Condolences to all who lost a friend, daughter and family member.
Did the deceased have a love for swimming? I didn’t read about that in the report.
Something like that would lead one to believe that she didn’t die from drowning, but more likely at the hands of someone.
Mikey this is Kristina’s mother. I would appreciate if you would not say nasty hurtful things about my precious daughter! The least you could do is not hide on here and tell us who you really are! If you are going to continue with your hateful comments please feel free to contact me in person and we can discuss your ignorance! (360)791-0503 Thank you!!!
At least she died doing what she loved. Anybody bringing a casserole?

You are loved by many and will be truly missed forever… and to those of u that choose to disrespect her rested soul, i suggest you either buck the fuck up n have the balls to post your address so the rest of us mourning can afford u the opportunity to express how u feel in person…otherwise i strongly urge u to close your fucking mouth because as u can see, accidents happen bro…it could happen to u!! Just a thought!!! RIP KRISTINA JORDEN we will remember your smile forever.
R.I.P. Kristina
I was just sitting here thinking about the shit You, Amanda and I use to get into and all of our long long walks all over Centralia when we were kids. I’m sorry that I never kept in touch with you over the years but I have the memories that I will cherish forever. I love you cousin!!
Some of these comment r totally uncalled for. None of us were there when this tragedy happened. So why r people talkin shit? We don’t know if she had drugs on her or if she waS high. We don’t know the circumstances that lead up to this. Kristina was a loving caring funny person. Rest in peace mija! U r truely missed and loved!

Really because before my comment is viewable to others it tells me its awaiting approval.
Nope, you can post whatever hateful garbage you want, as long as it’s not judgemental towards christianity.
Be as divisive and abusive as you want to other posters, just don’t say anything bad about the churches.
I’m a little shocked sharyn allowed some of these comments to be posted. They all used to require approval or did that change?
@Lewis County (The 48 yo individual who hasn’t looked around anywhere but Lewis County in life.) I find it intriguing if not even a little humorous that your hatred form drug users hasn’t seem to affect your ability to exhibit the extreme lack of compassion and the social graces of a bath salts enraged lunatic eating off the face of a transient. Smells like a self loather to me. How many years ya got their kiddo? What do you tell your friends, family, and those folks down at the local church on sunday nights at 8? You have a well deserved and earned 2 years off the sauce or the pipe? Or are you really Just pathetic enough to make a display of yourself the likes of which most drug addicts wouldn’t go near and actually have not had your brain effected by any substances. I’m sorry someone hurt you when you were growing up but hey, take it out on a different crew you bitter fuck.
Snoochie Boochies and Snoogans.
I didn’t know you really well, but the time we spent together was good, I feel so terribly sorry for your families loss and especially for Tayo, and your little girl, they both loved you unconditionally. Every sibling has one or another that they are very close to and I know you and Tayo were especially close. You were such a beautiful girl and your death is such a tragedy. RIP Kristina
And to Mike, You really are a POS!!!
Kristina,
sleep with the angels my friend
I know it’s hard, but please try not to give sick people like this the attention they clearly want. There’s a reason people like “mikey” are called trolls.
It sounds like many of you believe in karma. I don’t think you need to threaten him with it. If you think about it, anyone who would write such sick garbage clearly is living a sad, lonely life that this is his way of seeking attention. I think karma caught up with this angry bitter soul a long time ago.
On the flip side, Kristina, though she may have had problems, clearly was loved by many people. My thoughts are with her loved ones in hopes their memories of happy times help carry them through the hard ones ahead.
RIP Kristina. You will be missed.
So sad. My heart goes out to everyone in her family. She was a nice, caring person. RIP Kristina.
Rest in peace.
Rest In Peace Kristina. You deserved better, and I’m sorry you didn’t realize that before it was too late.
My Love, Respect, and Condolences to the Jorden family.
To those of you who don’t have anything nice to say, and can’t control yourselves and have a little respect; just keep your Fucking fingers off the keyboard and your bullshit rude comments to yourself. She’s a daughter, sister, mother, cousin… She’s someone’s family. Learn some manners.
Kristina I still can’t believe your gone I’m in total shock you will be missed we love you RIP Kristina
Kristina, you were so beautiful and always brightened my day when I saw you. My heart just broke when I heard this tragic news. I will miss you and I will definitely never forget you. And to your daughter and family I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers. Kristina, rest in peace baby girl and just know that your beautiful smile and bubbly personality won’t be forgotten.
mikey you are a true piece of shit!! karma will come for you and I can’t wait for that day. Didn’t your mother teach you respect? why dont you do us all a favor and go jump off a cliff you pathetic POS.
The people who have anything bad to say about her, didnt really know her. Her daughter has a long road ahead of her without her mom. So keep drop the bad shit. If you didnt have respect for her, at least respect her daughter.
ive lived here in lewis county 48 yrs im 48 why do you guys praise some drug addict get jobs clean up yes its sad but that is your drug of choice yes it is sad she died sorry about that but if she was in her right mind would she have ran id say no so do us all a favor get off the meth
why in the hell does packwood morn the death of some meth head she would rob you blind for your money and dope is it sad yes it is
let it be a lesson to the rest of you in that area that stuff will kill you
I say shame on all you asses. A women is dead and all you can do is argue with some idiot named mikey who obviously has no milk of human kindness. Karma is real and it will get him in whatever form deemed appropiate. But, i do hope its brutal. Dont tarnish the name of the dead by hateful words and acts of immaturity. R.I.P. May you forever be in gods loving arms.
C’mon, Mikey…really? I don’t have a lot of sympathy for tweakers, but none of them deserves to die. They need help, not hate. Bad choices ruined this woman’s life and hurt the people who loved her, but she never stopped being one of God’s creations. “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone….”
YOU LITTLE MISS HOUSE KEEPING CAN I FLUFF YOUR PILLOW, CARE FREE, HAPPY MOST ALWAYS, AND SO CAREING, WILL AND ARE INSTANTLY MISSED, BUT YOU MY DEAR SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Just so you know, I am so upset with you for checking out, with no prior approval, and what am I suppose to do, now your gone…….Dam!!
HEY Mikey,
your Karma will come back at you for that stupid statement, and no one will have anything to sympathize with a tweekers, tweeker when you are found out……YOU FUCKING JACK ASS
Mikey your a piece of shit for putting that on here! What if it was one of your family members and someone wrote something horrible about them. Whether not if it was drugs involved or not doesn’t make them a bad person she was loving and caring and had issues just like everyone else! Karma will come for you.
Kristina you were a good person and will miss you. Look ove are family and keep your hand on them and watch over your little girl. RIP Kristina
kristina we love u so much and miss u so bad already we wish u were here with us this is so sad and i say to mikey please keep your rude comments to your self please she has a 11 yr old little girl that sees all this and shes just a child and it also hurts the adults i feel like i cant believe you are saying such awful things back to my little cousin so wish you were here with us but please rest with god and the angels now we love you so much you will be so missed
