The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified the body recovered earlier this week in a duffle bag at a SeaTac apartment complex as Jenna K. Ferguson, 23, from Payson, Utah.
King County Sheriff’s Office detectives have notified the family and determined she was in the Seattle area attending a church based drug rehab program called Gethsemane Ministries Church, according to a Sheriff’s Office media release. Ferguson was last seen around the July 7-8 when she walked away from the program.
The medical examiner was not able to determine a cause of death and detectives are still investigating this as a possible homicide.
Ferguson’s body was discovered on July 27 and investigators are interested in speaking to anyone who had contact with her between July 7-26.
At about 8:30 a.m. Monday, SeaTac Police were called to South 204th Street and 30th Avenue South by a maintenance worker who found what appeared to be a body. When deputies arrived they found a decomposed body in a duffle bag next to a Dumpster in the apartment complex.
If anyone has information or knows possible details about the above incident, they are urged to call the King County Sheriff’s Office 24/7 at 206-296-3311.
Sheriff’s Office detectives said the SeaTac case isn’t connected to a woman found dead in a suitcase on May 27 near the Green River in unincorporated Kent. That woman has yet to be identified.
