off Highway 410
at Milepost 26.
Green River Task Force
Detectives process the site off the Kent Des Moines Road where they
recovered skeletal remains on August 21, 2003. This area encompassed
approximately two acres and was heavily wooded. Over a period of
several days, Detectives cleared the ravine, which was densely
covered in blackberry bushes and vegetation.
Detectives and Search
and Rescue volunteers at the search site near South 296th Street and
65th Avenue South rappelled down a 60 degree incline to the floor of
the ravine. After clearing the vegetation, they carefully worked
their way up the hillside. During this process, GRTF Detectives
recovered the remains of Marie Malvar on September 27, 2003.
