On January 10, 1998, the body of 25-year-old Olivia Smith, a Native American woman who had been living on the streets and struggling with drug addiction, was found at the bottom of an outdoor staircase in an area known as the Jungle beneath Seattle’s freeways. Her throat had been slit and she had been stabbed multiple times in the chest and buttocks; cause of death was exsanguination. Investigators noted one of her shoes had been removed.

Smith’s killing was later linked to at least two other women found dead nearby: Denise Harris, 42, discovered in September and strangled and bound with shoelaces, and Antoinette Jones, 33, whose skeletal remains were found in February 1998 and were also reported as bound. The three women were known to frequent the same transient areas.

A man already jailed on an unrelated robbery charge, 35-year-old DeWayne Lee Harris, contacted detectives in April 1998 and eventually confessed, saying he killed the women and describing details including luring Smith with a promise of drugs. In December 1998 a jury found him guilty on three counts of first-degree murder and he was sentenced to 94 years in prison.

Did anyone who knew Olivia or saw her in the Jungle around January 1998 notice anything that could help clarify what happened that night?
