Shannaz Sathi Zakia, 29 and originally from Bangladesh, was last seen in the Tukwila area on October 30, 2002. She had moved to the U.S. six years earlier and was pursuing citizenship while trying to help family join her. In October 2002 she reported sexual assault by her husband, moved out, and obtained a temporary protection order on October 17.

Sathi’s final confirmed contacts were October 29 and 30. A friend says she planned to meet her husband on October 30 to retrieve wedding jewelry. On October 29 a bank teller later confirmed both were at a bank and $1,500 was withdrawn from a joint account to wire to family. She missed an October 31 hearing to make the protection order permanent and was reported missing November 7. Her silver 2001 Lexus was found locked and abandoned that same day; personal items and legal documents remained at her home. Investigators do not believe she left voluntarily, and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Tukwila area know Sathi’s routines, her planned meeting on October 30, or see her Lexus that week?
