REDMOND, Wash. -- A woman was found dead in an apartment here late Monday morning, and police say the death is suspicious.

Redmond police spokesman Jim Bove said the woman's father, who lives in India, had called a few of her friends in the area to check up on her after he hadn't heard from her in quite some time.

One of the friends went to check on the woman about 9 a.m. and found her dead on the floor of her unit at the Valley View Apartments in the 8900 block of Redmond-Woodinville Road.

The name of the woman, who is in her mid-20s, has not been released. She is said to have been a software quality engineer for a local company.

A cause of death has not been determined, but Bove said there were signs of trauma that make her death suspicious.

Investigators have cordoned off the area and are searching the apartment for evidence. Investigators are also searching for the motorcycle she rode to work everyday.

"That motorcycle is not on the property, but we don't want to assume anything," said Bove. "We don't know if it was stolen. We don't know if it was in the shop. We don't know she was left parked somewhere."
