Jamie Haggard was reported missing in 2016. The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office said her death was a homicide.
The King County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Thursday that the body found in Snohomish County in May belongs to Jamie Haggard, a Woodinville mother who disappeared in 2016.
The Snohomish County medical examiner determined the manner of death to be a homicide.
Haggard, 27, was reported missing on June 17, 2016, by her family. Twice over the next year, in July 2016 and May 2017, investigators dug up portions of the large backyard of her former residence in Kenmore searching for her remains after receiving tips that she was buried there, but nothing was found. Her disappearance was described as suspicious by authorities, who presumed she was dead.
Haggard’s body was found in May alongside a suitcase and blanket near Downes Road and Fales Road in Snohomish County, close to Echo Falls Golf Club.
Sgt. Ryan Abbott of the King County Sheriff’s Office said there is an open investigation and asked anyone who may have information about the crime to call 206-296-3311.
