The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office announced Thursday afternoon that they have identified a suspect in a 1990 homicide cold case. FOX13
17-year-old Michelle Koski was last seen at her house in the 13300 block of 30th Avenue Northeast in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood on August 18, 1990. Investigators said earlier that day, she had been at an apartment in the 6200 block of 14th Avenue Northwest in Seattle. "We believe that Michelle met somebody that she knew that brought her out here so they could drink. The person probably intended to have sex and she didn’t want to.
Through investigative genetic geneology, detectives identified the suspect as 49-year-old Robert Brooks. Brooks was released from prison in April 1990 and was living with a relative on 25th Ave. NE, just a few blocks from where Michelle lived."After more than 30 years of searching for answers following this terrible murder, we can finally provide Michelle’s family with some answers," said Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney.
