Remains of Missing Tulalip Woman Mary Johnson-Davis Identified After Five Years

Human remains found in June 2025 in a remote area of northwestern Snohomish County, Washington, have been positively identified through DNA analysis as Mary Johnson-Davis, a 44-year-old member of the Tulalip Tribes who went missing on November 25, 2020, while walking along Fire Trail Road on the Tulalip Reservation. Johnson-Davis was last seen heading to a friend's house but never arrived, prompting a missing person report filed two weeks later. The discovery of her remains has brought closure to her family and the Tulalip community, although the cause and manner of her death remain undetermined, with investigations ongoing. Authorities, including the FBI, the Tulalip Police Department, and the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, continue to actively investigate the case, offering a reward of up to $60,000 for information leading to the identification and conviction of those responsible. The case has highlighted broader issues regarding the attention given to missing and murdered Indigenous women and has spurred local activism and statewide alerts to address these concerns. Family members have expressed deep sorrow but also a measure of closure following the confirmation of Johnson-Davis's remains.
