Human skeletal remains discovered in June in a remote area of north Snohomish County have been positively matched through DNA to a Native American woman who disappeared from the Tulalip Reservation nearly five years ago, according to the FBI’s Seattle field office.
Mary Johnson-Davis was last confirmed alive on Nov. 25, 2020 as she was walking on Fire Trail Road and was reported missing two weeks later, the FBI said in a Friday news release. After the remains were found in June, the Snohomish County medical examiner’s office sent a sample to the University of North Texas Health Sciences Center to obtain a DNA profile, the release says.
The resulting DNA profile was run through the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System, and was recently matched to Johnson-Davis, who was 44 when she was reported missing. Her cause and manner of death are undetermined pending further investigation, the news release says.
Johnson-Davis was on her way to a friend’s house but never arrived, according to the FBI.
Fire Trail Road marks the northern boundary of the Tulalip Reservation, which covers nearly 35 square miles in western Snohomish County, near Marysville. The FBI’s news release does not include the distance between where Johnson-Davis was walking and where her remains were found.
A reward up to $60,000 is being offered by the Tulalip Tribes and the FBI for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Johnson-Davis’ disappearance. Anyone with information should contact the FBI’s Seattle field office at 206-622-0460, 1-800-CALL-FBI (225-5324), or tips.fbi.gov.
