Bodies found on Snohomish County trail
BY CASEY MCNERTHNEY, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF | July 19, 2011
Two people were found dead Tuesday morning on the Mountain Loop Highway, and sheriff's deputies are investigating.
Campers found the bodies at Red Bridge, about 10 miles east of Granite Falls, but police are not looking any suspects, Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover told our news partner, KOMO/4.
It was not clear of the relationship between the man and woman found dead.
The Red Bridge, 160 feet long, spans the South Fork Stillaguamish River, and croses between Silverton and Verlot. Built in 1954, it's in place of where a railroad bridge had been.
The bodies were found miles from where Mary Cooper, 56, and her daughter Susanna Stodden, 27, were killed on a trail in 2006, though police have not linked that case to the remains found Tuesday morning. Cooper and Stodden were shot to death on the Pinnacle Lake Trail in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. A suspect has never been named.
