Investigators: Woman's disappearance is 'unusual'
ROCHESTER, Wash. -- Thurston County sheriff's deputies are asking for the public's help locating a missing woman.

Amy Mullins was last seen at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday.

A neighbor found Mullins' car outside her house with the driver's side door open. Mullins' keys were in the ignition, her dog was in the car and her purse was sitting on her seat. Even a warm cup of coffee was left behind.

Deputies are treating the case as a crime based on the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Investigators have not named any suspects in the case. They did question Mullins' estranged husband, Steve Mullins, Monday morning but say that he is not considered a suspect.

Family members of the missing woman believe she was taken from her home. They've set up a Web site to recruit help as they search for her. They're also distributing flyers in areas surrounding Mullins' home.

Anyone with information on Amy's whereabouts is urged to contact the Thurston County Sheriff's Office at 360-786-5500.

"I love my mom, and I want her to come home," said Kaiylece. "So if anybody sees anything, hears anything, please say something to somebody because she is everything."
