Our Daughter, Sister,
Mother....Amy...
Amy (resident
of Rochester, WA) had been missing since approximately 9:30 am
on Saturday, 7/21/07. Because of the mysterious circumstances
involving her disappearance Law Enforcement waived the 24 hour
waiting period generally required for a missing adult, and immediately
launched an investigation into her disappearance.
Amy's vehicle
was found next to her house, keys in the ignition, her dog was
in the car, her purse was on the seat (nothing missing), a warm
cup of coffee in the console, and the drivers side door open.
A neighbor found the vehicle in this condition and immediately
called 911. On Saturday, July 21st a search and rescue team was
assembled at her home. Volunteers searched on foot, and a heat
seeking plane was brought in to assist in the search. Two, scent
trained, blood hounds were also involved in the search but turned
up nothing.
Amy had planned
to spend the day with a friend. She was apparently loading her
car to leave and was never seen by friends and family alive again.
On Monday,
July 23rd, friends and family organized a search party of their
own and found Amy's body near the back of the property where
she had previously lived with her estranged husband. After the
discovery of Amy's body, her estranged husband, Steven H. Mullins
was taken into custody and booked on suspicion of murder.
On November
6th, 2008 the estranged husband of Amy, Steve
Mullins was convicted of First Degree Murder. On December 12th, 2008
he was sentenced to Federal Prison for 26 years, 8 months, the
maximum sentence allowed by the State of Washington.

A special thank
you to Wal-Mart of Chehalis, WA, Staples of Chehalis, WA, and

items which assisted us in our search for Amy, as well as the
donated items they supplied to us for her memorial.
We would like
to take this time to thank all of the people far and wide who
have offered their support, prayers, concern and kind words to
our family. People who were once strangers have made personal
calls to my family, left messages of support and sent emails
sharing their own personal stories and offering words of encouragement.
Words can never begin to describe how much your support has meant
to us.
From the Family
of Amy...Thank You.
