STEVENS PASS — The night Callie Childers was discovered dead on a remote stretch of U.S. 2, her car was found on fire in Snohomish County.

The 25-year-old Marysville woman was found by a driver near Rock Mountain Trail, about 35 miles east of Stevens Pass, around 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 7, according to the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office.

Around the same time, her black 2013 Chrysler 200 was ablaze in the 6200 block of Lowell Snohomish River Road, between Everett and Snohomish, according to police. While Childers had a Marysville address, she also had ties to the Everett area. Childers, who was from Longview, moved to Marysville about a year ago.

Her death is being investigated as a homicide.

Anyone with information related to the case can contact the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office at 509-667-6845.
