MUKILTEO — Mukilteo police are searching for a woman who may be a key witness in an alleged attempted murder.

Police released security camera images of a woman in a red dress from around 9:50 a.m. May 19, at a hotel in the 9600 block of Harbour Place.

Officers believe the witness helped to save the life of another woman, 22, who allegedly had been lured to the hotel room, trapped and forced to swallow drugs.

The woman ran outside saying her ex-boyfriend was chasing her, before she overdosed on the mix of Xanax and fentanyl spray, police said. Seconds later a Mukilteo officer used the opioid antidote naloxone to revive her. The suspect, Zachary Lowell Madding, 28, was arrested for investigation of attempted murder.

Anyone with information about the witness is asked to call detective Sgt. Andy Illyn at 425-367-1988, or email a.illyn@mukilteowa.gov.
