Sophia Stutzman, 24, was found face down on a road behind the Costco on Tyee Drive Southwest in Tumwater, Washington, in the early hours of December 12, 2018. A pathologist determined she died from a single gunshot wound to the chest that pierced her left lung and aorta and exited through her right arm. Investigators documented the discovery about 3:20 a.m., prompting a homicide investigation.

Court records reconstructed her last evening: she went to meet Matthew J. McCollian at his Everett apartment on December 11 and, during the night, sent increasingly alarmed texts to her mother expressing fear and a desire to leave.

Physical and ballistic evidence tied the fatal shooting to a white Toyota Camry McCollian had rented. The car, reported stolen December 15 and later located, showed fire damage, two gas cans, soot consistent with an oxygen‑deprived blaze, blood matching Stutzman’s DNA in the passenger area, a spent 9mm casing, a bullet lodged in the passenger B‑pillar, and a seatbelt with a bullet impact — consistent with a shot fired from the driver’s side toward a front passenger. Within days, police announced an arrest in the case. Does anyone have information about Sophia’s movements that night or about the white Camry seen on Interstate 5?
