A Washington State woman was reported missing by her mother on June 7, 2015, after she had gone out the night before to a local bar and grill. The woman, whose life took a tragic turn that summer, left behind a family searching for answers. Her car was found empty the following day, on June 8, sparking an intense search effort. Then, on June 20, police search dogs discovered her body in a wooded area, bringing devastating closure to her loved ones.
Before fame—or rather, before her story reached national attention—she had been living an ordinary life filled with both hope and hardship. In the spring of 2015, she met Jonathan Daniel Harris through a dating app, marking the beginning of a relationship that would take a dark and fatal turn. By May 2015, they had gone on their first date, unaware of what lay ahead. She was a devoted mother of two, deeply involved in a custody battle with her estranged husband at the time of her death, fighting for the future of her children.
Her heartbreaking story gained wider recognition in 2018 when it was featured in the Investigation Discovery series Web of Lies: Hunting Ground, shedding light on the events leading up to her murder. Ultimately, Jonathan Daniel Harris was identified and confirmed as her killer, closing a painful chapter in her family’s life. Her memory lives on—not just as a victim, but as a woman who faced life’s challenges with resilience, even in the face of unimaginable danger.
Harris faced official charges of second-degree murder on June 23, 2015. Then, on July 28, 2016, he admitted guilt in her murder during the court proceedings. The tragic events surrounding her life and death were later highlighted in the 2017 documentary series Deadly Dates, which is also referred to as Swipe Right for Murder.
